Activists encouraged by fewer abortions BY ANDREA FLORES STAFF WRITER
BRIAN BAUER THE DAILY ILLINI
A group gathers to protest federal funding of Planned Parenthood on Saturday.
For the fi rst time since the Roe v. Wade decision, nationwide abortion rates are at an all-time low. Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that determined a woman’s right to have an abortion, was passed in 1973. Nearly 50 years later, this decision is still being debated, along with the reasons for the decline. Sean Cashin, senior in Engineering and vice president of Illini Collegians for Life, attributes pro-life efforts to this decline. “It makes me very happy that fewer women will have to go through that,” Cashin said. “Perhaps abortion restrictions that states have been passing are working.” An estimated 926,200 abortions were performed in 2014, which is 12 percent lower than in 2011, according to the “Abortion Incidence and Service Availability in the United States” report conducted by the Guttmacher Institute. Additionally, about 14.6 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 received abortions, representing a 14 percent decline since 2011.
However, Elisabeth Larson, senior in AHS and president of Advocates for Choice, said in an email that the efforts of the prolife groups do not contribute to the decline in abortions. “This report is proving what pro-choice advocates and patients have been saying for decades,” Larson said. “Increasing proper sexual education, making birth control accessible and affordable, and fighting any attempt to come between a patient and their health is creating an environment where abortion services are needed less.” She said that when communities are provided information about reproductive health care, more people can use effective methods of contraception so an abortion is not the only option available to them. In Illinois, the abortion rate was 16.3 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. This increased slightly from 16.2 abortions per 1,000 women in 2011. Illinois accounted for 4.6 percent of the country’s abortions,

Retention of UI minorities still low The increased graduation rates for African-American and Hispanic students are larger than national trends. A study from The Education Trust of 255 public colleges found graduation rates increased seven percent for Hispanic students and four percent for AfricanAmerican students nationwide. Despite the improvements, fewer African-American and Hispanic students are graduating compared to their peers. Administrators say more resources have been devoted to closing the graduation gap, but more are needed. “I wish I could tell you we had a grand centrally-driven initiative to do this,” said Charles Tucker, vice provost for undergraduate education and innovation. “I think the

More African-American and Hispanic students are graduating from the University, but these students are still less likely to finish their degree than the rest of campus, according to records from the Division of Management Information. Eighty percent of African-American students who started school in 2010 graduated within six years. The number is up 10 percent since 2005. The number of Hispanic students is up 11 percent from 2005, with 82 percent of Hispanic students who started school in 2010 graduating within six years. Campuswide, 85 percent of students graduated within the same time period. This is an increase of about three percent since 2005.

The Earth’s surface is still a mystery to scientists. According to one University researcher, scientists know more about space than the earth. “Our seafloor constitutes about two-thirds of our Earth’s surface, so we know very little about two-thirds of our planet’s surface which is quite shocking,” said Patricia Gregg, an assistant professor in geology. “We know quite more about the surface of

Gregg has studied volcanoes for the past 15 years and noticed there wasn’t enough data to make scientific claims, including recreating volcanos on the ocean floor. “At the end of my thesis work, one of the glaring issues was there was not enough data from the region to really constrain our models, so we had really pushed the boundaries on what our models could tell us,” Gregg said.

A team of University researchers spent 30 days mapping new territory of the Atlantic Ocean during the OASIS Expedition. Gregg started the expedition based on her research. It costs over $2 million and is funded by the National Science Association.

The Chicago-based pizza chain Slice Factory, a project eight years in the making, is coming to the University. But an opening date has yet to be set, as the project’s construction is running about a month behind schedule. Domenic DiDiana, founder and president of Slice Factory, estimates to open Slice Factory this spring, in about five to six weeks. The construction project was delayed due to a complete remodel of the space, DiDiana said. This location has been in the works since at least 2009. DiDiana said he had always wanted the restaurant to be on Green Street within a block or two from campus. DiDiana kept an eye on the increasingly expensive real estate and missed out on several opportunities until the space at 625 E. Green St. opened up.

Student body presidents urge end to budget crisis BY GILLIAN DUNLOP STAFF WRITER
Frustrated student body presidents from schools around the state took matters into their own hands when they posted a letter for the Illinois General Assembly on Facebook Friday. The letter was specifically directed at Gov. Bruce Rauner, House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton, Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno and House Minority Leader Jim Durkin. Written by Student Body President Ron Lewis and signed by student presidents of other colleges across the state, the letter’s purpose is to “show a sign of solidarity,” Lewis said. “We just want to know what’s going on,” he said. “We haven’t had a budget in a couple of years and we want to show we’re all on the same page.” The letter was not actually sent to the governBRIAN BAUER THE DAILY ILLINI ment; it was posted on Student Body President Ron Lewis addresses the Illinois Student Senate on Nov. 9.

World conflicts increase interest in Arabic minor BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER
William Velez enrolled in an Arabic class the summer after his sophomore year. Having grown up speaking Spanish and English, he wanted to dabble in a new language. He thought he would take the class and be done with it. However, it turned into much more. Velez picked up an Arabic Studies minor to complement his political science and Spanish majors. He became fluent in the lan-
guage and wants to work in the State Department — maybe even work at an embassy or become a diplomat in the Middle East. “I fell in love with it,” said Velez, now a graduate student in Middle Eastern Studies. “It’s a really cool language. I stuck with it because I improved pretty quickly in it and it was still something that could set me apart from other people.” The Arabic Studies program has nearly tripled in size since 2010. The program is still small, with 13

As many are first-generation college students, the combination can add stress.
Financial aid
The University boosted the amount of financial aid awarded to students in recent years. It has tried to guarantee funds for four years instead of only one to help retain students. “Once you’re here, if you’re not as worried about having enough money to complete your education, it’s easier to do better academically,” Tucker said. “Even a few thousand dollars can make the decision between staying and not staying for a lot of

Larson also attributes the difference in state numbers and national numbers to the fact that some states offer abortions and preventative health care while others do not. “Illinois has and will continue to be a state that has fought hard for the rights of our patients to seek reproductive health services, and as a result, we happily accept patients from other states,” she said. “Because of the restrictive laws that are in place in other states, people who are in need of

SLICE FACTORY to late-night cravings, Slice Factory will be open until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. Slice Factory’s opening comes just months after Antonio’s Pizza closed their doors. Josh Reynolds, junior in Business, was a fan of Antonio’s Pizza. He expressed two things he’s looking for in fast food: low prices and late hours. “Antonio’s was the about experience,” Reynolds said. “I don’t know if (Slice Factory) could replace it.” Caleigh Beckett, freshman in LAS, agrees with Reynolds. “Antonio’s had specialty (pizza),” Beckett said. “That was unique.” Slice Factory is joining several other pizza places on campus, including Mia Za’s, Azzip Pizza and chains like Papa John’s and Pizza Hut.

It has grown from a $4 million program to a $19 million program, according to Tucker. But some worry that growth in financial aid hasn’t benefited enough students. “We do a really good job with some of the folks who are at or near the poverty line, but there’s that large middle where people are really struggling,” said Domonic Cobb, associate dean of students and interim director of minority student affairs. Students may have to work to support themselves, taking time away from their studies.

students enrolled this year. Administrators are hoping to attract even more students with changes to the program. The Academic Senate approved a proposal to broaden the minor’s required courses to include five more classes. One is an Arabic language class, two are history classes, and the other two are comparative world literature classes. “The previous curriculum was more traditional, and that was not sufficient to meet our students’ needs and to teach them more in-depth about the region, the culture and of course language,” said Eman Saadah, director and coordinator of Arabic. Velez signed up for an Arabic class because he was interested in languages. He stuck with it because he liked it and it could help him start a career in government. Many students pick up the minor for the same reason Velez did. More students enrolled in the program in the wake of events such as the Arab Spring, the Syrian Civil War and the Syrian refugee crisis, Saadah said. Arabic is a less commonly taught language in the American education system than European languages such as Spanish, French and German. It is known for being

Velez has been learning the questions and who knew everything,” Oluokun said. “So just coming in and not knowing the answers to the questions on the first day, it made me upset. But then it made me say, look, this is what you gotta do.” One of Oluokun’s mentors reached out to her and suggested using OMSA’s tutoring. It has been helpful. She thinks the University needs to be more proactive in reaching out to students and telling them about available resources. “I think if they truly cared, they would reach out, like, ‘Hey, this is happening. You need to do this in order to bring your grade up,’” she said. “Because if you’re constantly failing, you’re going to be like, OK, why am I wasting my money to attend this university? I don’t need to be here.”
Students who are not first-generation can have an advantage. Gioconda Guerra Pérez, director of La Casa Cultural Latina, calls it the “hidden curriculum,” information parents can teach
their children about attending college. “A lot of what we do operates on the assumption that people know all the general steps of college,” said Tekita Bankhead, assistant director of the Bruce D. Nesbitt African-American Cultural Center. “Know how to get here. Know what to do. Know all the forms to fill out. Know all the places to go for help. And that’s simply not the case.” Both cultural centers offer resources to help bridge the gap. They hold study hours and encourage students to join mentorship programs. The Office of Minority Student Affairs (OMSA) offers free tutoring for students. It holds walk-in sessions for help with chemistry, math and physics and matched sessions for other subjects. Last year, the office had 5,071 walk-in visits and spent 13,096 hours tutoring. Zainab Oluokun, a freshman in AHS, receives chemistry tutoring through the office. She sat in her chemistry class on the first day of college and felt confused because her high school did not prepare her. “It was frustrating because in high school, I was the student who liked to answer
medical care are forced to travel across state lines to have access to safe, legal abortions.” Between 2011 and 2014, there was a six percent decline in health care clinics offering abortions. The steepest decline was in the Midwest with 22 percent. Suzanne Trupin, doctor and CEO of Women’s Health Practice in Champaign, believes that abortions ought to be “safe, legal and rare.” “The increased use of LARC, long-acting reversible contraception, has improved pregnancy protection,” Trupin said in an email. Trupin also said that increased access to effective contraception through ana believes that customers stay loyal to their favorite pizza place. “I feel like our concept is different,” he said. “We won’t take away their customers and they won’t take away ours.” While Azzip Pizza refused to comment on Slice Factory’s opening, Mia Za’s sees their own restaurant as “stable.” “A lot of restaurants come and go,” said Eleanore Yoon, assistant manager at Mia Za’s. “We’ve got a lot of variety. We’ve been here a while.” Even though a jumbo slice of pizza comes at $4.99 each, DiDiana stands by the quality of the pizza. “Kids will get a kick out of it, the quality you get for that price,” he said. Slice Factory will be looking to hire at least seven to 10 new people for positions ranging from cashiers to pizza makers and delivery staff. This location’s menu will be simpler than some Chicagoland area locations. “We’re not just pizza,” DiDiana said.

language for two and a half years now. He can listen to the news in Arabic and understand almost everything. He credits the Arabic studies program for encouraging him to read, to listen and to speak the language. He appreciates efforts to focus on speaking the language, not just reading it. Velez thought the small class sizes helped

Zainab Oluokun, freshman in AHS, studies for a chemistry class at Grainger Engineering Library. The University has boosted the graduation rates for African-American and Hispanic students, but they still fall below the average.
Administrators agree it is possible to close the gap. But it will take work. Academic resources have helped students. Cobb thinks the University should work on normalizing tutoring. It would help shed the stigma and encourage students to be more engaged.
The campus’ racial climate is also a component. Some say tensions have increased with the current political climate. One way to show support could be more investments in diversity resources. “Where you spend your money is where your heart is, honestly,” Bankhead said. “I think that the administration could continue to put
their money toward those things and make very visible contributions to supporting the diversity of our student body.” Students are central to the University’s mission. Admitting them. Enrolling them. Teaching them. Graduating them — all of them.
Affordable Care Act provisions also contributed to the lower abortion levels. The Women’s Health Practice in Champaign is a clinic that provides women with services like gynecology, obstetrics, abortion and infertility. In continuing the conversation, Illini Collegians For Life participated in a Defund Planned Parenthood, or ProtestPP, rally on Saturday outside Champaign’s Planned Parenthood facility. This rally was one of over 200 held across the nation to call on Congress to remove all federal funding for Planned Parenthood and relocate those funds to other health centers. The rally focused on defund-
ing Planned Parenthood as it is the largest abortion provider. Renée Mullen, rally volunteer and former University employee, participated because she said abortion is murder. “(The rally’s purpose is) to educate women and the general public on abortion and what Planned Parenthood really is and does,” Mullen said. The rally featured pastors from local churches sharing remarks and prayers, along with speakers who have had abortions. “Abortion is another example of society having deemed some individuals as less than humans,” Mullen said. Despite their differing
views, both Larson and Cashin still believe that there is a stigma surrounding abortion, especially on college campuses. In order to encourage conversation on this issue, Illini Collegians for Life creates pro-life chalk writings on the Main Quad. “(These are) positive, life-affirming messages to try and start conversations about the negative effects of abortion and the positive benefits of the gift of life,” Cashin said. “We always have pushback from the writing, while we’re writing it, the next day. Obviously, it’s not something a lot of people want to talk about.” Trupin said conversations with her patients are beneficial.
“Clearing up misconceptions and being willing to have a dialogue is the way any medical service is less stigmatized not just restricted to abortion, but contraception, sterilization, and infertility services,” she said. While Cashin believes that most people look the other way, there are confrontations, and Illini Collegians for Life strives to start conversations with students and make their case. “We’re trying to be a group known for passion, not confrontation, for love, not anger,” Cashin said. “It’s not us against them. We’re all human beings, we’re all on the same side.”

While at sea, one of the team members had a medical emergency and the crew had to rush to the nearest port, losing four days of research. Because the territory had never been mapped, Gregg found that several of the fi ndings did not align with what she had expected. “We have lots of questions and we came back with very few answers, so right now we’re working on data and really systematically going through things and figuring out what was happening in the system,” Gregg said. Gregg will be taking a team of five or six scientists in 2018 back on Alvin for four days to complete their original mission. “It was a very successful cruise and we were able to accomplish a lot of our goals, but we really do need as many observations as possible, so we’re going to basically be completing the expedition,” Gregg said.
VOLCANO Gregg became the chief scientist of the OASIS Expedition and put together a team of 20 scientists to map the seafloor. Gregg took four Ph.D. students from the University to help complete the research.

Before leaving for their mission, the OASIS scientists worked with local schools to put on workshops and plan curriculum for the students to go through. While at sea, the scientists fi lmed YouTube videos detailing their lives and experiences, which Cabaniss said was mostly directed toward the young students but provides more information about the project. “Even people who are not scientists necessarily can

Each excruciating loss, the players’ fault. And every unexpected hiccup, the supposed precursor to a vault. Talks of rebounding and effort are moot, It’s not all on the Illini to execute. Josh is waiting, ready to strike. You have six games left — Give us something to like.
The Land of Red Lion
Oh land of lion. Land of bar crawl tees and beer gardens. Land of darkness and blackouts. Oh tables and DJs and frat stars in jerseys. You’re a magical place, full of wonder and disgust. Where we spend happy hours and morning block. But sometimes a sight will catch your eye, One both “yikes” and “aww” at the same time. Girl and guy swapping spit on the dance floor. Oblivious to all around them. A true love story in the making, At least until the sun comes up.
Late Night Flight
You left me, and I know not what to do. I never thought I could feel like this, but you proved otherwise. I used to see your golden visage betwixt midnight and 2 a.m. Every weekend night, I took you for granted. Now, you’re gone. Wherefore hath thou left me, Cracked? You promised to return, Even sacrificed fair Antonio, Yet your truck is oft astray. Now each night, I venture toward Joe’s, In search of that yellowy hue I know. And when rejected, Our friends dejected, We head instead for the golden arches.

When you’re single it’s easy to wallow If Valentine’s Day fills you with sorrow. Love is everywhere But do not despair: All the candy’s on clearance tomorrow.
‘Alpha women’ shouldn’t revert back to traditional norms ISABELLA WINKLER Columnist
S
ome women today are not feminine enough, according to Suzanne Venker, author of the book, “The Alpha Female’s Guide to Men & Marriage.” If you insist on being in charge, were taught to be a leader or don’t exhibit the sweet mildness that is traditionally expected of women, Venker considers you an “alpha woman.” She uses the term like a dirty word, and so easily demonstrates the double standard she holds for women. If a man is an alpha male, he is a leader — charismatic, strong and tough — and it’s a good thing. If a woman exhibits those same qualities, then, as Venker puts it, she is
incapable of love, and it’s ruining marriages. In her interview with Fox News, she explains the relationship between men and women using a perfect metaphor: batteries. Batteries only work if the opposite positive and negative charges are working together. Men, being strong, earthy and rugged, bring the negative force, while the women, as dainty, soft and fragile as we are, carry the positive force. And voila, Venker unlocked all the answers to the female mind by traveling so far back in time that I think I got whiplash. Venker insists that women today are too determined. We are too competitive, too masculine. We have “been groomed to be leaders instead of wives.” We are too much like men, and it’s hindering our abil-
ity to love. There’s nothing wrong with being a traditional wife, committing to a life of raising the kids and taking care of the home. That’s the great thing about feminism: It opens up a world of choices for women that they never used to have. But make no mistake — Venker wants women to be more traditional for the sake of pleasing their husbands, not their own happiness. She manages to offend men, too. Her notion that men are “simple” creatures boils them down to neanderthals, needing no more than “respect, companionship and sex.” If they don’t have these basics, you can’t blame them for acting out. By simplifying men down to coin-operated machines, Venker is taking part in a decades-old
notion that men are dumb and incompetent. It’s why they can’t vacuum, cook or take care of the kids — they are always so distracted by sex, how could they complete basic everyday tasks? All they need are the basics, and if their wives can’t supply them, there’s something wrong with her, not the other way around. After all, boys will be boys. Venker’s severely misguided claims, which are supported by no data or statistics, reveal how troubling these outdated constructions of marriage and relationships are. These are the same notions that tell women they can’t be more successful than their male counterparts, the same notion that tells women they have to give up their careers so that their hus-
bands can thrive at work. It didn’t work in the ‘50s, and it won’t work now. Venker claims women need to be more feminine, but leaders of the feminist movement have already fought against that predisposition for decades. “America depends rather heavily on women’s passive dependence, their femininity,” said Betty Friedan in “The Feminine Mystique.” “Femininity, if one still wants to call it that, makes American women a target and a victim of the sexual sell.” Friedan’s revolutionary book solidified the feminist agenda: After years of women having to attain Stepford Wife-level submissiveness, they realized how damaging that dynamic is in a marriage. Women fought back against the patriarchal structures that kept them
miserably shackled to their picket-fenced homes all day. They realized how unsatisfying it is to be denied intellectual fulfi llment — which isn’t particularly something you attain by waxing the kitchen floor, as Friedan puts it. It’s no surprise that Venker, and certainly many others, want to separate the male and female spheres again: Today’s “alpha women” are threatening traditional masculinity. After decades of enjoying the privilege of being male and not having your intelligence or competence questioned, it’s easy to misconstrue women’s desire for equality as a desire for superiority.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Greek discussion must involve sexual assault Editor’s Note: The following letter to the editor has been edited for word count. It does not include every statistic the authors provided, but the opinions within were not altered in any way. The letter can be viewed in its unedited entirety at dailyillini.com. On Feb. 9, a Daily Illini article described how a handful of fraternity chapters had been revoked of recognition. This article ran the same day as one titled, “Police release second notice in a week for sexual assault at a fraternity.” Yet, the former Daily Illini article failed to mention any of the sexual assault allegations at fraternities. In addition, it failed to note that eight fraternities on campus are currently under formal sanctions from the University. Three are still on campus, although they have various limitations on their conduct due to the sanctions. In comparison, only one sorority is currently under sanction from the University. Every university struggles with sexual misconduct, and Illinois is no different. Fortunately, Illinois tends to be about average when it comes to these problems. Surveys of University students indicate that a majority of students feel comfortable reporting cases of sexual assault. However, there is a large difference between men and women. Women on campus are more likely to be victims of sexual misconduct and do not feel as confident that the University will handle it appro-
priately. The University has made strides in handling sexual misconduct; for example, the Student Code states that consent is a verbal yes, not the absence of a “no.” Understanding consent is crucial for preventing sexual misconduct. One key difference that may be linked to both the lack of issues with sororities and the continuing problems with fraternities on campus is that National Panhellenic Conference allows fraternities to host parties with alcohol, while sororities cannot unless partnered with a fraternity. By only allowing fraternities to throw parties, the National Panhellenic Conference has put sorority members at greater risk to be sexually assaulted. Research shows men in fraternities are more likely to commit sexual misconduct, and women in sororities are more likely to be assaulted, compared to their peers who do not participate in Greek Life. Some have argued that universities should consider banning fraternities. However, banning is not a good solution because it makes the behavior of fraternities and sororities unaccountable. Instead, fraternities and sororities need to commit to being part of the solution. While fraternities and sororities have done good philanthropic work, a legacy of houses ousted for botched parties and sexual misconduct has left their reputation in this community damaged. Some advocates argue for making all fraternities
co-ed or enabling sororities to host events with alcohol. However, these solutions are inadequate. Women are not and should not be forced to be a “civilizing” force for men. Similarly, enabling sororities to host events with alcohol is not a solution by itself. Binge drinking at a sorority can still lead to bad outcomes. If fraternities want to change their reputation on campus, they need to commit to changing their behavior. Fraternities need to publicly embrace the defi nition of consent put forward by the University. They need to commit to making sure that members complete FYCARE and go a step further by having members complete bystander intervention training. Fraternities, sororities and all students need to commit to changing the culture of binge-drinking that is often associated with sexual misconduct. We can change this University and make it a great place for everyone to be, but that is not possible if we ignore the problems that student organizations perpetuate on campus.

QUICK COMMENTARY ALMA APPROVED CELEBRITIES SPEAK THEIR MINDS AT THE GRAMMYS The Grammys is the most recent award show to dazzle and entertain music fans across the country, but this year the show was also used as a platform for celebrities to express opinions about this political age. Some people may argue that the Grammys is more about music, and politics should be left at home. But it’s good that celebrities who can reach a large amount of people use that platform to discuss real societal issues. If they use their influence to offer up a call to action to their fans and remind them to not sit idly by while political uncertainty washes over this country, then why not use the Grammys as the perfect opportunity to do that? Free speech is a right that not everyone around the world gets to enjoy, and if award-winning celebrities want to use that right to reach people, we say that’s commendable.
DI DENIED DOLAN LOCKS OUT CHARLES OAKLEY New York Knicks frontcourt man Charles Oakley was forcibly escorted out of Madison Square Garden on Wednesday in the middle of the Knicks game. Oakley allegedly aggressively disparaged Knicks owner James Dolan, who announced Friday that Oakley is banned from “the Garden” for life. Naturally, removing a beloved player from his home arena didn’t sit well with fans, who’ve lambasted Dolan on social media in the days since. Furthering his public relations disaster, Dolan invited former Knicks player Latrell Sprewell to sit with him for Sunday’s game. Dolan seemed to think Knicks fans would completely forget about last week because of some strategic handholding. However the Oakley situation resolves itself — if you ask us, he should be freed — Dolan has somehow sunk even lower than his already battled reputation as one of the most disruptive owners in sports.

Portman embodies Kennedy in biopic ‘Jackie’ BY BRIDGET DUNNE BUZZ MUSIC WRITER
Making its way into the Dolby Theatre with three nominations is Pablo Larraín’s "Jackie," a haunting, disturbing depiction of Jacqueline Kennedy’s fi nal days in the White House following the assassination of her husband. The film follows the famous fi rst lady as she speaks of the Kennedy legacy to reporter Billy Crudup in the cold November days of 1963. While condensed to only a few days with Mrs. Kennedy, the premise permits a challenge: How does a biopic meet the colossal challenge of humanizing such a wellpreserved historical figure? But "Jackie" is less of a biopic and more of a psychodrama — an investigation of grief that’s somehow intimate despite the publicity and pressure of an American legacy. What could easily be a simple look into the woman often remembered for her style is made more complex through Larraín’s gripping cinematography and attention to detail. The iconic images are there, thanks to Madeline F o n t a i n e ’s Oscarnominated costume design, but each is interwoven with disturbance, heightened by Mica Levi’s chilling score. The perfectly recreated Chanel pink suit stands as a symbol for the celebrity status of the young presidential couple holding red roses in the Dallas sun at the opening of the fi lm. It swiftly transforms into a symbol of gruesome tragedy, covered in blood and brain matter and broadcasts to the world at Jackie’s request to “let them see what they’ve done.” It’s Natalie Portman who brings that brilliance to life in her Oscar-nominated

ARCHAEA play after taking a tour of the bell towers. Wipfler said she is excited for the two bell towers to be joining for one concert, especially one as big as the sesquicentennial. Wipfler said the biggest challenge of learning to play is getting accustomed to the layout and weights of the chimes. It often requires a lot of practice and dedication for chimes players to perfect a song. Wipfler said “Archaea” is not too difficult to play, as the chimes player part is more chords than rhythms, but it is still something she
role. Not many actresses could take on such a task while also mastering the unmistakable accent. Her performance not only captures the raw private grief, but also the confl ict behind the public spectacle. While men in suits tiptoe around the shattered First Lady, she’s quickly revealed as the brains behind the operation, the illustrator of her husband’s legacy and subsequently her own. Just when you think "Jackie" gets slow, the compelling third act will draw you in with a graphic memory that causes you to fall into the sounds of the 1960 Broadway musical "Camelot," the lyrics quoted by Jackie Kennedy and famously printed in her post-assassination interview. If there’s one thing that the graphic shots of the assassination tell us, it’s that Jacqueline Kennedy’s life was not a fairy tale, even if that’s how we remember it. And while the American presidency seems to lose its grace more and more each day, we’re reminded of a time when an energetic couple made the White House feel like royalty. As the presidential limousine rides through the streets of D.C., crowded with magazines of her face and mannequins dressed in her clothes, the former first lady fi nds herself alone with her grief. Portman masterfully focalizes Kennedy's private agony. "Jackie" could easily be a one-woman show, but Natalie Portman shines even brighter with the ensemble cast. Greta Gerwig is supportive as Nancy, her social secretary and closest confidant in the White House. Peter Sarsgard, while a little lackluster on the Bostonian accent, stands by Portman’s side as Bobby Kennedy. He gives is not used to playing. “‘Archaea’ is very unusual, but interesting as it has a free meter,” Wipfler said. “That is, there is no set beat or time procession for it. We were instructed to play it freely over the course of time that the South Bell Tower will be playing what I assume will be the main theme.” The song is relatively long, taking about 16 minutes for the entire piece to be played. Because it will be played on both towers on campus, “Archaea” will be difficult to miss. Taylor said if someone were to stand around Foellinger Auditorium, they could hear both towers

It’s John Hurt’s priest that poignantly brings in the question, “Is this really all there is?” in one of the fi nal performances before his death in January. Hurt also creates space for some of Portman’s most impressive, yet soft-spoken moments when Mrs. Kennedy is removed from the public, play the song at the same time. Eva Bucke, freshman in Engineering, said she enjoys the music of the bell towers. As a member of the Marching Illini, she said they are especially fun, as hearing them makes her think of being on the field during games. “I like them because they bring an old-timey feel to campus,” Bucke said. “I think the bells play a role in our school’s culture because everyone hears them. Everyone knows where the sound is coming from and they play songs that are relevant to our lives today.”

Professor translates genes to music BY TESS O’BRIEN STAFF WRITER
Since the University Chime was installed in Altgeld Tower back in 1920, students, faculty and community members have had the opportunity to hear the booming, melodic bells at least once a day. Sometimes the tunes are more whimsical, bringing smiles to people’s faces with the familiar “Looney Tunes” or “Harry Potter” themes, but they can be traditional as well, such as when “Hail to the Orange” is played. The music from the bell towers has become an integral part of campus culture for many, including Professor of Music, Stephen Taylor. To Taylor, it only seemed right to integrate the tradition into the University’s Sesquicentennial Celebration. Taylor, who has been working
with the University since 2001, composed a piece titled “Archaea” to be played on both the Altgeld Tower and McFarland Carillon bell as a part of the kickoff festivities for the Sesquicentennial Celebration at noon on Feb. 28. The song is dedicated to the celebrated biologist Carl Woese, who, while at the University, discovered the genetic domain of Archaea through the sequencing of the organism M. Jannaschii. “When the University asked me to think about a piece for the University’s 150th anniversary, I knew I wanted to do something to celebrate both the arts and sciences; most of my music is about both, in one way or another,” Taylor said. In order to prepare for the composition of this piece, Taylor consulted with some of Woese’s colleagues
who still teach at the University, particularly Gary Olsen and Claudia Reich, who are co-authors of the famous discovery. Taylor also attended MCB 150, an introductory biology course, taught by Professor Brad Mehrtens. In his composition “Archaea,” Taylor said he used the information he gained about genetics to create the piece. The genetic sequence of M. Jannaschii was used as the foundation for his song. In the organism, the genes are arranged in a circular chromosome, and in this circle, there are different colors that represent which genes are involved with each cellular process. To compose his song, Taylor assigned each color a “musical motive." “One of the problems of turning genetic data into music is scale," Taylor said. "If you turn each DNA
letter into a note, the piece will take a long time unless you choose something small, like a single gene. But I wanted to do the whole genome of M. Jannaschii. I gradually realized I could represent these functions musically, by using a simple musical idea — two, three or four notes, with different intervals for each color.” The song will simultaneously be played electronically at the McFarland Carillon and manually by a chimes player at the Altgeld Bell tower. Rebecca Wipfler, sophomore in LAS, is one of the potential musicians who will be playing it. In the first semester of her freshman year, Wipfler learned about the RSO Altgeld Ringers, and became interested in learning to

Girls Rock! CU provides music education to girls BY SAN KIM BUZZ MUSIC WRITER
Girls Rock! C-U is a member of an organization called Girls Rock Camp Alliance, which strives to boost female’s self-esteem through music creation and performances. Girls Rock Camp Alliance is an international alliance that is spread all over the world, from the U.S. to Iceland to Japan. Yet, it has not gained much traction in ChampaignUrbana. Girls Rock! C-U is raising money by hosting
shows, selling merchandise and accepting money and musical gear donations in order to raise awareness for the Girls Rock! camp in Champaign-Urbana. In order to further its cause, it’s also devoted to educating girls ages 8 to 18 with their music programs, and hopes to become a powerful tool to encourage young girls to explore their musical creativity. As part of its efforts, Girls Rock! C-U has a number of upcoming shows, featuring a variety of artists.
We talked to Olivia Tasch, one of the members of the governing board of Girls Rock! C-U to get a more detailed image of the organization.
buzz: Can you explain what Girls Rock! C-U is for those unfamiliar?
Olivia Tasch: Absolutely. Girls Rock! C-U is a rock camp for young girls. At the camp, the girls will start a band, write a song, record a track and play an actual gig. Through these activities, we want to empower young
girls in our community to be big and bold music creators. We want girls to have a voice in the ChampaignUrbana music scene, and we think Girls Rock! C-U will create a solid foundation for them.
buzz: How did the whole thing come about?
OT: The idea came to the brilliant mind of Isaac Arms. After hearing about other Girls Rock! camps and going to a Girls Rock! conference, Isaac felt inspired and compelled to create a
camp for the ChampaignUrbana area. In September of 2016, a group of women met around a coffee table one evening and discussed their visions of what a Girls Rock! Camp would look like in our community. Everything from “being a woman in the music scene,” to “how to you actually start a nonprofit,” was discussed. Right now, we are fundraising and working to legitimize our organization.
buzz: How does feminism affect your work and
performances in general?
OT: As women who play music, attend concerts and book musicians, we understand the extra miles we have to go in the music world. We want girls to have a valued, equal voice in music, and we see this camp as one way of making that happen. For each event and benefit show, we are very mindful of who we book. We try to put our philosophy into practice for these shows by putting girls on the stage and girls in the front. We see

Illinois serves up a new head coach Tamas put in charge

STAFF WRITER
Illinois volleyball’s new head coach Chris Tamas broke down crying during his introductory press conference. “I owe a lot of thanks to a lot of people,” Tamas said. “All of the coaches that I had and the co-workers throughout the years taught me everything that I know now. I need to thank my wife Jen (Tamas). I wouldn’t be here without her support and ultimately her passion for the sport as well. Being a coach’s wife is not easy. It took me a lot of hours to get here.” Tamas will be the eighth head coach in Illinois history, after former head coach Kevin Hambly left the program to take over at Stanford last month. This will be his first head-coaching opportunity after eight seasons as an assistant coach at UC-Riverside, Cal Poly, Minnesota and Nebraska. During his two seasons at Minnesota, he helped lead the Golden Gophers to a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2011 and a trip to the Elite Eight the following year. In the first of his two seasons in Lincoln, Nebraska, Tamas turned the Cornhuskers into one of the best defensive teams in the Big

Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman shakes hands with new volleyball head coach Chris Tamas during the press conference at the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics on Friday. Tamas was named head coach, replacing Kevin Hambly.
Kevin Hambly's departure from the Illinois volleyball program was just as much a shock to the players as it was to the fans. While they were all aware the Illini head coach had interviewed for the position at Stanford, it wasn't until the morning of his decision that the players found out he was leaving. This left a lot of questions for players. Who would take Hambly's place? Would the assistant coaches stay on? Why did Hambly leave? “I was shocked at first, but now looking back, it all makes sense about Kevin leaving,” outside hitter Jacqueline Quade said. “It was kind of scary just because there was a lot of uncertainty. But it was his dream job, so you have to wish him well and everything.” Hambly had a very close relationship with his players. Recent graduate Danielle Davis described hers as being similar to a fatherdaughter relationship. “We were very anxious,” middle blocker Ali Bastianelli said. “Obviously losing Kevin, we were disappointed, upset, like any emotion you could possibly feel we've felt in the past two weeks.” Quade agreed, saying that everyone in the locker room

Tamas' contract represents an increased investment in program BY JACOB DIAZ STAFF WRITER
Illinois' Director of Athletics Josh Whitman was up front about the details of new head coach Chris Tamas' contract during his introductory press conference Friday afternoon. “It's a five year contract, it starts at $300,000 per year.” Whitman said.

Whitman stated that the budget for assistant coaches had not only been maintained from last season, but had been “augmented slightly.”

Five things to look for as Smith starts spring ball Tuesday BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER
Illinois football head coach Lovie Smith and his team will begin the first of 15 spring practices on Tuesday. There are several major storylines surrounding Smith and his team entering spring ball. Here are the top five. 1. Coaching staff positions yet to be filled Linebackers coach Tim McGarigle left the program last week to become the Defensive Quality Control coach for the Green Bay Packers. “Young people are mobile, and that is a great opportunity for Tim to work with a great organization,” Smith said. “That’s part of what happens when you have good

young coaches.” Smith said he expects the position to be filled by the start of spring ball. The Illini also parted
ways with Director of Player Personnel Josh Sternquist. Smith brought Sternquist to the University last April. “We went through a cycle, and we felt like we needed to make a move,” Smith said. 2. Normal start to practice means normal offseason routine The Illini delayed the start of spring practice last season following the dismissal of head coach Bill Cubit by Director of Athletics Josh Whitman. Illinois started last season’s spring practices April 1. Smith said there are benefits with recruiting and finding a routine with starting spring practice nearly two months earlier. “Last year, we were late with our spring recruiting,” Smith said. “This year, we can get a jump start on that. Our players can transition back into offseason workouts.” Illinois welcomes the public to its spring practice on March 4, in lieu of a spring game. 3.

Power rankings
WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS
DAILY ILLINI BASKETBALL STAFF
Editor’s note:Every week, The Daily Illini sports staff ranks the basketball teams in the Big Ten, 1-14, and compiles the lists into its own Big Ten power rankings. Purdue 20-5, 9-3 The Boilermakers won a big rivalry game against Indiana this past week to extend its win streak to three. Purdue is ranked No. 16 in the AP Top 25, and that’s still an underrated ranking. This is one of Matt Painter’s most talented rosters in recent years with loads of potential, come tournament time. Wisconsin 21-4, 10-2 The Badgers dropped down to the No. 2 spot in this week’s Power Rankings because of a one-point overtime win against Nebraska. Sure, the Badgers are in the midst of an eight-game win streak, but five of its last eight games were decided by a few possessions against mediocre teams. Maryland 21-4, 9-3 Maryland suffered a loss to Penn State, but followed it up with a nine-point victory over Ohio State. Four Terps scored in double figures against Ohio State and Maryland as a team shot 49 percent from the field. This week, Maryland will be challenged when it squares up against Wisconsin. Northwestern 19-6, 8-4 Northwestern has failed to show up when it needed to most with a loss to Purdue, and certainly with a surprising loss to Illinois. The Wildcats find themselves dancing in March after a huge upset win over Wisconsin, movinh them up in the rankings. Michigan 16-9, 6-6 The Wolverines had a nice 2-0 week with the dismantling of Michigan State and Indiana. Senior Derrick Walton Jr. has been on a tear for Michigan, dropping 24 points against the Spartans and 25 against the Hoosiers. If Michigan keeps it up, they will be in serious contention for a spot in the NCAA tourney. Michigan State 15-10, 7-5 Michigan State followed up a loss to Michigan with a complete team effort win over Iowa. The Spartans dished out 24 assists and shot 48 percent from the field with four players in double figures against Iowa. The Spartans will have to face Purdue, Wisconsin and Maryland to finish the year — a great test for March. Minnesota 18-7, 6-6 Richard Pitino enjoyed a relatively easy week with wins over Iowa and Rutgers. His Gophers are now two wins away from 20 on the season. Looking at its six remaining games on the schedule, 20 wins seems more probable than not. Penn State 14-12, 6-7 Penn State had an impressive upset over Maryland and followed it up with a win over the Illini. This was a much needed performance from the Nittany Lions after suffering a loss to Rutgers. Payton Banks torched Illinois with 24 points on Saturday. Indiana 15-11, 5-8 Oh how the mighty have fallen. Indiana has had a debacle of a year and continue to slip. Significant injuries have crushed the Hoosiers, who are currently riding a three-game losing streak. Things aren’t getting easier as Indiana will play four of its last five games on the road.
Nebraska 10-14, 4-8 Nebraska nearly upset No. 7 Wisconsin this past week, which would have really shaken up the Big Ten. The good news for the Cornhuskers is there are no more Top-25 teams on its schedule. The bad news is that Nebraska hasn’t beaten any of the teams it will finish the year off with. Ohio State 15-11, 5-8 The Buckeyes have had an average week. They beat Rutgers and then lost to Maryland. Ohio State has failed to get the spark it needs to get going this season, and it’s too late for anything to happen now. Iowa 14-12, 6-7 Iowa had a rough week with losses to Minnesota and Michigan State. The Hawkeyes are still a decent team in the Big Ten, but an 2-0 week is brutal. Iowa can turn things around this week with games against Illinois and Indiana. Illinois 14-12, 4-9 The Illini turned some heads earlier this week with an unexpected win over Northwestern. That road win against “Chicago’s Big Ten Team” was the perfect opportunity to get on a win-streak. The Illini failed to do so with a loss to Penn State. Five games remain for Illinois. They should go 3-2 in those, but 5-0 sounds a lot sweeter. Rutgers 13-13, 2-11 After a win over Penn State two weeks ago, Rutgers has gone back to its losing ways. The Scarlet Knights lost to Ohio State by six and Minnesota by nine. It’d be great to see Rutgers notch another win before the regular season ends.

Illinois’ head coach Kim Landrus talks to the team after the four events during the State of Illinois Classic at Huff Hall onMarch 5, 2015. The Illini claimed victory for the ninth consecutive year with a total of 195.425 over Northern Illinois (194.225), UIC(192.625) and Illinois State (191.500).
UI falls to Iowa despite high scores BY DANIELLE WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
After back-to-back wins, the Illinois women’s gymnastics team dropped its match against Iowa on Saturday. Iowa placed first, Illinois second and UIC third. The Illini recorded a few season-high scores, including its final score of 196.050. "I think we had mixed results (Saturday)," head coach Kim Landrus said. "We had a lot of great performances. We had seasonhighs on vault and floor and a season-best overall team score. There were definitely several positive takeaways, but we are competing in a
perfection-based sport." Illini Lizzy LeDuc shined through the loss, earning two event titles on the floor and in the all-around. LeDuc now holds four all-around titles this season. The first rotation for the Illini was the bars. Sarah Lyons, Mary Jane Horth, and Rae Balthazor all scored high for the team, tallying 9.800. Following them were LeDuc and Karen Howell with 9.775 each. The team was trailing the Hawkeyes going into the second rotation. LeDuc led the Illini on the balance beam, scoring a 9.850. Bridget Hodan tallied a 9.800. Howell, Haylee
Roe and Brielle Nguyen each scored a 9.775. Illinois ended the rotation still trailing. LeDuc then led the Illini on the floor, earning 9.875. Erin Buchanan tied her season-high of 9.825, while Howell marked her careerhigh with the same score. Nguyen added another 9.825 with her floor routine, and Roe finished off the rotation for the Illini with a 9.775. The Illini continued to set personal-records in their final rotation. LeDuc and Horth each tallied seasonbests with a score of 9.850. Buchanan and Lyons hit the vault with success as they tallied 9.725. Balthazor, after
a decent finish against UIC, tied her career-high of 9.750. The Illini recorded a season-high 48.900 by the end of the rotation. Howell also had a great meet, hitting another careerbest 39.075 in the all-around competition. Landrus said the Illini have tiny errors that need to be worked on before the team hosts the Michigan State for senior night Friday at Huff Hall. “We gave away a lot of little tenths here and there,” Landrus said. “We need to get back in the gym to chase after those tenths.”

TAMAS Ten. During their 2015 title run, the Cornhuskers ranked second in the conference in blocks per sets and held opponents to a 0.167 hit percentage. Tamas will now have the opportunity to implement middle blocker Ali Bastianelli into his defensive schemes. Last season, Bastianelli was the only player in the country to eclipse 200 total blocks. She also led the nation in blocks per set at 1.79. With Bastianelli leading the way, the Illini racked up 615 blocks, which was ranked first in the Big Ten and 17th in the nation. “Really good middles can read the game really well, and Ali does a very nice job of that,” Tamas said. “Not just for stuff blocks, but getting touches to slow it down for the defense to (get a play on) balls. She was one of the top blockers because she was a really good reader of the game, and she’s able to see the game really well.” Aside from coaching at a high level, Tamas also made a name for himself as a player. During his time at Pacific, he was unanimously selected to the AVCA AllAmerica first team and was named the Tigers' MVP in 2013. Tamas’ record of 5,086 assists as a fouryear starter at Pacific still stands, and he currently sits 10th all-time in program history with 498 digs. After college, Tamas played professionally for six years overseas. He also spent four years playing on the U.S. National Team. In 2005, he helped Team USA capture a silver medal in the World Grand Champions Cup in Japan, and followed it up by taking home a gold medal in the 2006 NORCECA Championships in Mexico.

The team did not make the NCAA tournament this past year after recording a 10-10 record in Big Ten play, which featured a seven-game losing streak. Illinois has never won a national championship. The team's best finish was in 2011 as runner-up to UCLA. Tamas knows what it feels like to be crowned champion, having experienced it two years ago with Nebraska, and he hopes to one day share that feeling with the Illini. “I told the team last night, ‘I can’t promise you guys wins and championships,’” Tamas said. “'But I can promise, if we work hard, if we have a great attitude, if we’re really good teammates, we’ll have the best shot possible to do that.’ I hate losing. Bringing a championship would obviously be the ultimate goal and that’s what we’re shooting for.”
ther in the selection process. For confidentiality reasons, the players were kept unaware of who their next coach would be until the day before he was introduced to the public. Bastianelli trusted Whitman to make a good choice, but that didn't stop her initial anxiety. “We knew when we heard Josh had hired someone that it would be someone good,
it was just who?” Bastianelli said. “There's so many good coaches out here, but when we heard it was Chris (Tamas), we couldn't have asked for a better coach. Looking at his bio, looking at his resume, it's very impressive.” The players may not know anything about their new coach other than his bio, but they have seen his work firsthand.
with Tamas, who won a national title as an assistant at Nebraska, a feat Illinois has yet to accomplish. “It's super exciting, because obviously he knows what it takes (to win a championship),” Quade said. “Hopefully he can share that knowledge with us and help us maximize our potential as a team.”

Illinois season off to hot start after opening weekend in Puerto Rico BY TATIANIA PERRY STAFF WRITER
Illinois softball senior Nicole Evans took a deep breath, looked at her bat and made an “X” in the dirt by home plate. She has perfected her atbat routine and said it helps her to focus and calm down. Evans was first to bat, leading off in the team’s Puerto Rico Division I tournament. After doing her normal routine, with the thought of hitting a grounder down the middle in her head, she swung and hit a home run instead. Illinois scored six runs in its Opening Day win against North Carolina and 10 later that day against Georgia Tech. Illinois finished the weekend 4-1, with four straight wins to start off the weekend. The Illini had a total of 17 hits against the Yellow Jackets, scoring in every inning except the second and limiting their opponents to seven hits and one error. Junior Annie Fleming crossed the plate for the first run as Evans stole second in the first inning. “The girls have been working very hard since we came back in January and before then,” head coach Tyra Perry said. “They have all been working on their hitting, making sure their fun-
damentals were down and things of that nature.” The Illini then took on the same two teams the next day with similar results. Illinois got three straight hits from Evans and seniors Alyssa Gunther and Fleming to start the game against the Tar Heels. Freshman Veronica Ruelius added an RBI single in the second inning, followed by a Fleming home run. A two-run double from sophomore Kiana Sherlund in the third inning pushed the score to 11-0. Fleming collected another RBI double in the fourth, before sophomore Stephanie Abello’s second homer of the season made the final score 13-0. “The bats were hot and stayed hot,” Perry said. Junior Kate Giddens threw a hitless inning to close out the victory in the fifth frame; the Tar Heels had three hits the entire game. Later that day, a rematch with Georgia Tech proved to be a tougher game than Friday’s match. In the second inning, Georgia Tech’s Jessica Kowalewicz knocked a tworun home run to center field to put Illinois behind early, and the Illini trailed for the first four innings. In the fourth inning, Abello singled in Evans, who led off the inning with a double.

Illinois’ Nicole Evans hits a solo home run to center field at Eichelberger Field on April 2. She opened the tournament this past weekend by hitting another home run. The Illini came home from Puerto Rico with a 4-1 record. In the fifth, Fleming gave the Illini the lead for good with her second home run of the season — a three-run shot to right center field for the 4-2 lead. In the final day of the tournament, Illinois faced

California. The Illini started off with a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but the Bears scored nine runs in the fifth inning to take a 9-1 lead. The Illini tried to make a comeback in the seventh
inning with three runs, but it wasn’t enough, and they recorded their first loss of the season, 9-5, ending their Puerto Rico weekend with a 4-1 record. However, Evans said she was happy with the weekend.
“It was so exciting especially as a senior to see everyone come out and play especially as great as they did,” Evans said. “I felt like a proud mom.”

Illini gets Ohio upset, splits weekend BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER
With 1:18 remaining in the third period Friday, and No. 15 Illinois up 5-4 on No. 2 Ohio, Illini defenseman Aaron Dusek took a two-minute minor for slashing. The senior sat in the penalty box with his head between his legs. His penalty allowed one of the nation’s most potent power play units a chance to tie up the game. An interference call by Ohio’s Tom Pokorney with less than one minute to play ended any chance of a Bobcat comeback as the Illini pulled off arguably their biggest win of the season. Ohio got the scoring going early with two first-period goals. Forward Garrett Jenkins put one in the back of the net after a miscue by Illinois not being able to clear the puck. “I thought that we played a pretty good period all things considered,” Illinois head coach Nick Fabbri-
ni said. “A little unlucky to be down 2-0, but one was a pretty bad turnover by us, and we can’t turn pucks over against good teams.” Illinois scored three goals in the second period. The second line of Eric Saulters, Bobby Ernsting and Luke Forfar tallied two goals in the frame. “(We’re) just trying to get pucks to the net,” Saulters said. “We want to create opportunities and test this goalie.” That goalie was freshman Jimmy Thomas, who allowed two more thirdperiod goals as Illinois (198-3) came away with a 5-4 victory. Ernsting had two goals, including the game-winner with 5:05 left in the third. “It means a lot coming in and beating the No. 2 team in the country,” Ernsting said. “We knew it would be tough and we’d have to pay the price, but we came together and came away
with a team win.” Ohio (24-5-1) picked up a 4-1 win on Saturday to split the weekend and season series. The Bobcats and Illini split a November series in Athens, Ohio. Ohio scored three goals in the third period to break a 1-1 tie. Fabbrini started junior David Heflin in net on Friday. Defending-CSCHL MVP Joe Olen got the start Saturday night. Olen did not start the first game due to returning from the World University Games in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on Thursday. Fabbrini, forward James McGing and defenseman Tyler Opilka also represented the U.S. team. Illinois wraps up its regular season this weekend in a series against in-state CSCHL opponent Robert Morris at the Illinois Ice Arena.

Like he has done 100 times in his career at Illinois, Zac Brunson shook hands with his opponent, then had his left hand raised by the official. The Illini crowd stood and applauded, just as it has all this year at home. However, unlike the past, there won’t be a next time. Brunson claimed his 100th victory on the last night he would take to the mat in Champaign — a 5-3 victory that resembled many of his 99 others — methodical, calculated and efficient. While Brunson has had his share of important matches, he knew this one was a bit different. “I understood this match was kind of a big one,” Brunson said. “I tried my best to focus as if it was just another match.” It wasn’t just a big night
for Brunson, as Illinois bounced back from a 34-7 loss against Penn State on Friday, which snapped a sixdual win streak. Travis Piotrowski, Zane Richards, Eric Barone, Kyle Langenderfer, Isaiah Martinez, Brunson, Andre Lee and Brooks Black all claimed victories in Illinois’ 28-9 victory on Sunday over Indiana. “We really think we are better than the showing we had,” Brunson said. “That Penn State meet means really little going into the Big Ten and NCAA tournament.” Head coach Jim Heffernan echoed Brunson’s feelings. “I don’t think we competed as well as we could have,” Heffernan said. “They kicked our rear end pretty good.” However, both felt that the Illini responded well against Indiana, and it showed on the scoreboard. The Illi-
ni got technical falls from Richards and Martinez, with Martinez finishing another undefeated regular season. “I think they did pretty well actually,” Heffernan said. Again, Brunson and Heffernan were on the same page. “Coming out and having a good performance against Indiana was huge,” Brunson said. The Illini finished the regular season 9-3 with a 6-3 Big Ten record. The Illini have three weeks off before the Big Ten tournament begins, and then they move into the part of the season Heffernan calls “ridiculously competitive.” “The stakes are raised every week,” Heffernan said. “But it’s nothing these guys haven’t done before.”

STAFF WRITER
Illinois women’s tennis head coach Evan Clark told his team to not overlook its next matchup with Middle Tennessee. The Illini listened, defeating the Blue Raiders 6-1 on Friday, earning the doubles point and winning all but one singles match. Illinois improved to 2-4 with the win, while Middle Tennessee dropped to 3-4. Clark said winning the doubles point played a big role in winning because it took pressure off the singles matches. “(Winning the doubles point) is huge momentum for us,” Clark said. “It allows you to win three singles instead of four. I thought we did a good job today but not a great job.” Sophomore Daniela Pedraza Novak and senior Alex-
is Casati won their doubles match 6-1, over Costanza Magazzini and Lidia Burrows. Casati took plenty of momentum from that win by going on to defeat Magazzini convincingly in singles, only allowing her to score twice in two sets. “Today, I just went out with a lot of confidence,” Casati said. “I think last week was motivation for me because I didn’t close it out like I wanted to. This weekend, when I got a big lead, I wanted to capitalize.” Clark said closing out sets is something the team still needs improvement on, even with the win. “Well as a team, we got to three (points) pretty quickly,” Clark said. “But the fourth point was really tough and (Pedraza Novak) didn’t do a great job of closing her match. She was 6-1, then 3-1
leading at 40-15, so that’s one we have to have, and she ends up splitting. We did better for sure, but there is still plenty of room for improvement (on closing out sets).” While Pedraza Novak did not close out her second set, she won her third set 6-1 against Louisa Zirilli and clinched the match for the Illini in the process. “I’m glad I was able to take care of this business during the third set,” Novak said. “ I was able to come to the net with confidence, which is something I’m trying to get better at.” Clark said this was a match the Illini needed to have. “We needed a win,” Clark said. “We’re playing a tough schedule, and it’s good confidence for the girls who deserve it.”
