Law ranking drops after LSAT inflation STAFF WRITERS
The University’s College of Law dropped 12 spots to No. 47 in this year’s U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of the nation’s best law schools. Overall, the College of Law has dropped 24 spots since 2011. The college was ranked No. 35 last spring after a November 2011 report revealed that Paul Pless, former assistant dean of admissions, had allegedly manipulated student data to make the law school seem more selective. Pless resigned at the end of the two-month long University-led investigation, in which it was found that he had changed LSAT scores and GPA data for the classes of 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Following the investigation, the college’s ranking dipped by 12 spots because of a significant drop in peer assessment scores or the ratings of other law schools’ opinions of the college, said Robert Morse, director of data research at U.S. News and World Report. But he said peer assessment scores did not significantly fluctuate this year. Instead, the college dropped in rankings because the College of Law was less selective and because of a change in the way U.S. News calculates its rankings, with more emphasis on graduates getting quality jobs, Morse said. “Previously the data was reported as all lumped together, as full-time, part-time, legal, non-legal, JD needed, JD not needed,” he said. “(This year) each one of those was given separately, so we weighted certain kinds of jobs more than others, and that accounted for the change.” See RANKINGS, Page 3A

Law graduates searching for jobs College of Law Dean Bruce Smith said Class of 2011 graduates have had a difficult time finding professional legal jobs post-graduation. Of these graduates, 15.8 percent are unemployed and still seeking employment, according to the American Bar Association. For that class, the college comes in as the school with the 31st highest rate of unemployed graduates seeking work, out of 197 ABA accredited law schools. This was a drop from the class of 2010, in which 6.7 percent of graduates were unemployed and were seeking employment, at the 88th highest rate of the 200 accredited schools that year.

DIA, Nike aim to update Illini athletics gear BY DANIELLE BROWN BREAKING NEWS REPORTER
The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics has begun the process of updating its brand. The DIA is looking to change “logos, colors, terms and fonts,” said assistant athletic director Marty Kaufmann, making up “anything that we can graphically display publicly.” The purpose of the update is to redefine the brand so that Illinois athletics have a more recognizable identity. “When we recruit nationally, sometimes they may or may not know what the orange and blue might mean,” said Kaufmann, who oversees licensing and merchandising for the DIA. “We want some sort of imagery that will become quickly recognizable of the University of Illinois.” Currently, there are several logos the DIA uses. “It has hurt our brand because there isn’t consistency,” Kaufmann said. The last time the DIA updated the brand was during the mid-1990s with the development of the Block-I logo, Kaufmann said.
INSIDE
The DIA decided to work with Nike, a corporate partner of the DIA, on the re-evaluation of the brand. The choice to work with Nike was based on its long-term relationship with the DIA and the company’s experience with athletic design. Nike also volunteered its services, making it “a pretty easy decision for us,” Kaufmann said. Nike is expected to present the DIA with several concepts and ideas for the brand. Once the DIA receives Nike’s ideas, Kaufmann said it will be up to the DIA to make a final decision on how to proceed. As of now, this process is still in the early stage, and there are no official changes being made yet. Kaufmann also said that representatives from Nike and the DIA have only met once face-to-face, but over the next few months expect to meet monthly. The update will not address the mascot debate which has been a major topic of contention at the University. Kaufmann said the athletics department is only taking a look at evaluating the brands they use now. Some changes may include tweaks to the
orange and blue colors. The DIA does not plan on eliminating the iconic colors; however, Kaufmann said the colors are not always produced accurately. “The orange and blue are kind of tough to replicate,” Kaufmann said. “We just kind of want to clean it up.” While Mike Thomas, athletics director, is the leader of the project and the final decision-maker, the DIA has also gotten input from coaches and athletes. After Nike presents its ideas, the DIA will consult with public relations, public affairs and the chancellor’s office, said Kaufmann, and changes will be made from there. “Athletics often is the way supporters first learn of a university,” said campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler in an email. “When DIA strengthens its brand, it reflects positively on the entire campus.” The process of the update is expected to take up to 18 months, with changes in Illinois sports gear and apparel planned to appear by fall 2014.

The National Science Foundation, the largest contributor of funding for University research, is cutting back on the amount of awards it gives out to research institutions across the nation. The foundation announced Feb. 27 that it will reduce funding by 5 percent as part of the federal budget sequester that requires the government to cut spending by $1.2 trillion by fiscal year 2021. The University has been among the top three recipients of NSF funding for four years. In its notice to the institutions to which NSF awards funds, the foundation said it hopes to reach the 5 percent goal by distributing 1,000 fewer awards this fiscal year. The University was the largest recipient of NSF funds in fiscal year 2012. Over the course of the year, the NSF contributed more than $218 million in funding to University researchers, spread across 322 projects. The University received 16 percent more funding than the second highest recipient, the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. Although the White House
Office of Management and Budget gave sequestration estimates to agencies and departments, most of the potential effects have not yet reached campus. Melissa Edwards, director of Research Communications, said her department is still compiling information from federal funding agencies. “Right now, we’re just trying to get all the agency updates organized in one place,” she said, The NSF announced the funding cuts just weeks before the launch celebration for the University’s supercomputer, Blue Waters, one of the NSF’s highest-profile projects. The foundation contributed more than $225 million in funding to the project. “As we understand it, Blue Waters funding will not be affected,” said Trish Barker, spokeswoman for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. Many other federal agencies that fund University research have also contacted the University through letters, warning of potential cuts, including the Department of Energy, NASA and the National Institute of Health.
ROTC civilian personnel to lose work hours to defense spending cuts Despite eminent cuts to defense spending, ROTC administrators’ paychecks will be spared, but non-military personnel will be subjected to fewer work hours. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Budget Control Act requires $454 billion of cuts to defense spending over the next eight years. The Department of Defense announced that it must cut its budget by $46 billion this fiscal year alone. The only category not seeing cuts, according to a press release, is military personnel spending. A large portion of cuts will instead fall on the Department of the Army’s Civilian Personnel. Diane Moncrief, scholarship
and enrollment officer for the ROTC, said it is unlikely, but unknown, if the campus Army ROTC program will incur any major cuts. Lt. Matthew Comer, spokesman for the region’s Naval ROTC programs, said his office does not have any specific figures yet. However, Comer said possible naval ROTC furloughs wouldn’t take effect until at least late April. Active duty administrators will not be affected by the budget cuts, but civilian personnel may have to take furlough days amounting to as much as 20 percent of their pay over a period of six months or 22 workdays.

Union bookstore resolves conflict with publisher BY BRITTANY GIBSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Rep. Lois Court, D-Denver, left, talks with Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, before a vote on civil union at the State Capital in Denver on Tuesday. Colorado lawmakers took a historic vote to approve civil unions for gay couples Tuesday, delivering on a campaign promise from Democrats who have capitalized on the changing political landscape of a state where voters banned same-sex marriage not long ago.
Colorado House passes civil unions bill BY IVAN MORENO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Colorado lawmakers took a historic vote to approve civil unions for gay couples Tuesday, delivering on a campaign promise from Democrats who have capitalized on the changing political landscape of a state where voters banned same-sex marriage not long ago. The bill on its way to the desk of Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is expected to be signed into law within two weeks, capping a three-year
fight over a proposal to grant gay couples rights similar to marriage. Applause erupted in the Capitol as the bill won final passage on a 39-26 House vote, with two Republicans joining all Democrats to approve the measure. Several dozen people watching from the House gallery left smiling and hugging, and some wiped away tears of joy. Once the measure is signed, Colorado will join eight states that have civil unions or similar laws. Nine states and the District of Columbia allow gay marriage.
RANKINGS FROM PAGE 1A Although the complete methodology for the rankings has not been released, Bruce Smith, dean of the College of Law, said in an email that U.S. News put considerable emphasis on employment for the class of 2011 when determining this year’s rankings. “That class of law students, as has been widely reported, faced considerable challenges in the legal market,” Smith said. Since 2011, he said the college’s administrators and faculty members
“This is the best step toward equality Colorado could take right now. I’m thankful we got it done,” said Katy Jensen, a 34-year-old Denver engineer who plans a civil union with her partner after the bill becomes law on May 1. Last year, Democratic Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, a gay lawmaker serving his first term, was among those in the House gallery with his children, watching as Republicans used their one-vote majority in the House to prevent the measure from being debated in the waning hours of
responded aggressively to those challenges. The college hired a new head of its Career Services Office and assembled a team of lawyer-counselors to locate jobs in the Chicago area for the college’s graduating students. Smith said the college’s preliminary data for the class of 2012 already shows an increased percentage of graduates getting legal jobs that are weighted most heavily in the U.S. News report. In addition, the college launched the Chicago Program last summer, which allows students to learn from professionals through classes and other events in the city. “(The program) raises the visibility
the session, thus killing the bill. “I sat with my kids at midnight, wondering what was going to happen the next time we had a tragedy. What would happen if I had to take my kids to the ER and then I was questioned whether or not I was really their dad,” said Ulibarri, one of eight gay Democratic lawmakers serving in the Colorado Legislature. Civil unions for gay couples became a rallying cry for Democrats who took control of the Colorado House in last year’s elections, and they vowed an early vote on the proposal.
of our students and graduates in the nation’s second largest market,” he said. Law student John Sample said he would not be surprised if the college saw a greater dip in the number of applicants for the class of 2016 or at least a dip in the number who accept their admittance. He said he passed up full-tuition scholarships from lower-ranked schools so he could attend the University’s law school. But now that its rankings have dropped significantly, other students’ incentives for attending the college may change. “Unless the school does something in regards to lowering tuition or heightening scholarship rates, it wouldn’t make
After resolving a conflict between the Illini Union Bookstore and Stipes Publishing Co. that prevented students from purchasing some workbooks, the bookstore will resume selling the materials this summer. The issue began when an Illini Union Bookstore employee failed to disclose the fact that he had a relative working for Stipes Publishing Co. Dan Posas, director of the Illini Union Bookstore, said all state vendors are required to fill out a conflict of interest form for an ethics committee to approve in order to sell various goods from suppliers. This process ensures that companies are not favoring vendors for unethical reasons, such as helping a relative. “Somewhere along the lines, something fell through, so we couldn’t sell Stipes Publishing books at our bookstore,” Posas said. Ben Watts, one of three partners at Stipes Publishing Co., said that because the IUB employee didn’t file the paperwork in a timely manner, Stipes Publishing did not receive money for the books that they were supplying for nine months. “We have done business on this campus since the ’20s, but we have to get paid just like every other business,” Watts said. Jenna Schuler, freshman in ACES, said she tried to purchase a workbook for a chemistry class from IUB at the beginning of the semester but was told to go to T.I.S. College Bookstore instead. “T.I.S. Bookstore is more out
much sense that people would come here in the same droves that they had before if the ranking is (more than) 20 points lower than it was,” Sample said. Overall, Morse said there were 39 schools that moved 10 or more spots because of the new ranking system, but Illinois saw the largest decrease in the top 50. The University of Washington experienced the second largest drop from No. 20 to No. 28. The University’s College of Law is ranked No. 8 out of the 11 law schools at Big Ten schools. “Although rankings of top law schools fluctuate, the core fundamentals and commitments of the University of Illinois College of Law do not,” Smith said.
of the way, and the IUB was just where I got all of my books,” she said. “Being told to go somewhere else was a big inconvenience for me.” Schuler said her instructors made the students aware of the conflict and told them about the change in location. “The most important thing is that the books will be back this summer for future semesters,” Watts said. “T.I.S. did a great job, but we will now sell at both IUB and T.I.S., so the students will have a choice to buy books at both locations.” The conflict was resolved when the IUB employee filed the proper paperwork, and the ethics committee finally received it. Brian Paragi, T.I.S. store manager, said the store saw an increase of students purchasing materials from Stipes Publishing this semester. “We should have had more staff,” Paragi said. “The period that we call ‘book rush’ at the start of the semester just seemed to go on for a couple weeks longer. ... You could tell that it was because of Stipes.” Paragi said the bookstore noticed a change in clientele during the conflict. He said customers from the Illini Union Bookstore who were looking to purchase materials for certain physics, chemistry, classic civilization and other courses had to shop at T.I.S. “We knew (they hadn’t been here before) because they asked questions that are typical of freshmen to ask in August,” he said.

“We have outstanding faculty, superb students and distinguished alumni, and we are going to remain focused on our chief task: to prepare our students for careers of distinction in the legal profession.” The College of Business also saw a fall in ranking, dropping 10 spots from No. 37 last year to No. 47. The College of Engineering remained ranked at No. 5, and the Graduate School of Library and Information science remained at No. 1, since it was last surveyed in 2010.

Bloomberg to fight against court’s ruling to block mayor’s ban on sugary drinks in NYC BY JENNIFER PELTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Despite Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s bullishness, political realities and legal questions make for an uncertain future for one of the premier pieces of his legacy: a now-blocked ban on supersized sugary drinks. The city lost no time Tuesday getting started on the next round of the fight after a judge nixed the first-of-its-kind regulation. Bloomberg called the strongly worded court ruling a “temporary setback” and emphasizing that the city is confident about winning an appeal. He predicted that in the meantime, the novel regulation would become a bellwether in the national fight against obesity. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that momentum is moving in our direction,” he said after convening a thicket of news cameras at a Manhattan diner that is voluntarily complying with the stricken-down rule. While the city has ultimately prevailed in some similar cases, legal experts say it’s unclear how judges will view whether health regulators overshot their authority in this one. Moreover, the appeal could linger beyond Bloomberg’s term when it ends this year, and several of his would-be successors don’t appear to have his appetite for pursuing it. State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling’s decision, issued Monday, says that the soda rule has so many exemptions that it’s illegally arbitrary and that the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health trod on the City Council’s turf to impose it. “This is a serious challenge to the city,” particularly for saying the health board violated the separation-of-powers principle, said James Fanto, a Brooklyn Law School professor who specializes in business law and regulation. The city filed a formal notice Tuesday of its appeal. The American Beverage Association and other opponents of the rule said they felt the judge’s decision was strong and were confident in it. The city’s appeal will likely argue that the judge took too narrow a view of the 147-year-old health board’s powers. Officials have noted that other groundbreaking health initiatives on Bloomberg’s watch have survived court challenges: a 2006 rule requiring some restaurants to post calorie counts, for instance, was struck down, revised, challenged again and upheld.
To attack the finding that the law is arbitrarily ridden with loopholes, city lawyers could argue that any given regulation can’t be expected to get at every source of a problem, said Cary Coglianese, a University of Pennsylvania Law School professor who studies regulatory processes. The city also is stressing what it sees as the stakes: a city population in which 60 percent of adults and 40 percent of children are obese, $4 billion a year in obesity-related medical spending in the city alone and national and local studies linking sugary drinks to weight gain. Government actions generally enjoy some leeway in courts in light of the separation of powers. But judges tend to afford less deference to the decisions of executive agencies than to the majoritarian work of legislatures — in this scenario, the City Council, said Steven Goldberg, a Pace Law School professor and former dean. Bloomberg said Tuesday he has no plans to try to get the council to pass the soda rule, which bars eateries as disparate as corner delis and arena concessions from selling non-diet soda, sweetened juice and some other sugary drinks in portions bigger than 16 ounces. The city believes in the health board’s authority over the issue and wants a higher court to affirm it, he said. The appeal could easily take a year or more, potentially leaving the next mayor with a decision about whether to keep pressing it. Several Republican and Democratic contenders have criticized the ban. “Thank goodness the court intervened,” cheered one, Democrat John Liu, now the city comptroller. City Council Speaker and frequent Bloomberg ally Christine Quinn, so far the Democratic front-runner in the heavily Democratic city, told CNN host Piers Morgan on Monday that the big-soda ban “isn’t something I support.” But she said Tuesday that officials should “let this make its way through the court, and we’ll see where we end up.” Meanwhile, one of her Democratic rivals, city Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, was by Bloomberg’s side applauding the measure. “This is a crisis that must be addressed, he said, and “the mayor is doing that.” For a mayor who has made unconventional public health initiatives a key part of his agenda, Monday’s court decision is at least a distracting roadblock.

AS A GIRL
THINKS By Melanie Stone (part 3 of 5)
Editor’s note: This is the third part of a five-part series running each day this week through Friday. In this personal essay, Daily Illini columnist Melanie Stone combines her story with that of experts and multiple women across the country. More online: For a special presentation of this story, and for more insight on body image, visit InDepth.DailyIllini.com
had been 10 months since my last menstrual period. I tried, so hard, to make it come back. There were packs of pills and lots of blood tests, but when my doctor told me in August that I needed to gain weight for it to come back, I was crushed. “You don’t understand,” I explained through gritted teeth. “I’ve worked so hard to get to this point. I can’t get fat now.” “Melanie, this is a serious problem. You don’t have a choice — you need your period back. Ten pounds will be good for you,” she said. Part of me knew she was right. My collarbones popped out in my chest, and my soft curves weren’t so soft anymore — they were harsh lines and sharp angles. And my bones felt weak, brittle, as if they could snap at any moment. But still, there was the part of me that loved feeling skinny. I wanted people to hear my name and think of this fragile, feminine being I had become. So, I loosened the reigns but only a little bit. I cut back on my exercise, adding more rest days to my workout schedule. I stopped throwing out the yellow egg yolks and started eating more almonds. I even reintroduced mayonnaise to my sandwiches. I was OK, doing just fine, until the last binge of my summer crept up. It was two weeks before I had to move into my sorority house for Work Week, five days of practicing for formal recruitment. Just thinking about it made my eyes well up and my heart clench with fear. And so I turned to the only way I knew how to deal with my anxiety — a binge. Afterward, I remember lying in bed while my mom rubbed my back. “Melly, you don’t have to go back,” she whispered. “You don’t have to.” My parents offered me an escape route: I could stay home for the semester, take community college classes, work and transfer somewhere else for spring. I stewed for days — I wanted to f lee from the University, from the unknown of the fall semester, from the sorority, from the campus that seemed to exacerbate my issues — but I did not want to be thought of as a coward. In the end, I chose to go back. I moved into my sorority house Aug. 19, prayed with my parents before they left and began the week of preparing for recruitment.
It was hell. Not only was I physically exhausted from the nonstop chanting and screaming and dancing, but I was also emotionally drained. I didn’t look like an outsider — I wore the same frat tanks, I laughed at the same jokes, I had the same surface conversations as everyone else. I yearned for deep relationships, for something more. But instead I shoved my true self far, far down. I was a square peg in a round hole. This feeling of loneliness and hurt didn’t go away after Work Week: In my mind, the real me wasn’t good enough. I wasn’t good enough. Exactly one month after I moved in, I sunk. It was the tail end of formal recruitment, and my sorority was steps away from a shiny new pledge class. But for me, that September weekend was marked by a four-day binge, beginning that Thursday. It was sick. I was sick. On Sunday morning, I pulled my size-4 black dress out of my closet, a dress that I had worn many times, and it had always fit perfectly. I couldn’t zip it up. I couldn’t even get it halfway. Right then, I lost it, nearly hyperventilating and furiously texting my mom: “The dress won’t fit. I have nothing else to wear. The dress. It won’t fit.” It was a direct effect of my giant binge, stretching from Thursday night to Sunday morning. I could feel the pressure on my ribs, the bloat, the expansion. Eventually, I yanked the damn zipper up, but by then, I knew it was time to go home. My parents arrived just before dinnertime, picking me up blocks away because I was too mortified to wait anywhere near my house. We drove home. I cried. My mom held my hand. No one said a word. I missed that entire week of school. My parents wanted me to come home, and I was closer than ever to doing so. I was constantly criticizing my actions and my body, paralyzed by self-obsession and the desire to fit in. The coming home, the meltdown, the binge, that was exactly what I was

AS A GIRL THINKS By Melanie Stone (continued from 4A) afraid would happen when I went back there. Usually, my fears are just fears; they don’t materialize, but this time my fears became reality. That thought debilitated me. After a week of recovering at home, I decided to go back to my sorority house, ready to give it one last chance. It was a Sunday, and I thought I could handle returning. I couldn’t. Five days later, there was another binge.
Crisis is a sudden attack of pain, distress or disordered function. Dani Heidt, sophomore at the University of Alabama, can relate all too well. We met in early November, while I was visiting two of my best friends — Maddie and Camden — at Alabama. Dani was laughing her way through some story, and I remember feeling envious of her bright smile. A few weeks later after hearing about this story, Dani’s named popped up in my Gmail inbox. She wanted to share her experiences with me, and when I heard them, all I could do was try to hold back the tears. There was one night in particular when her battle with anorexia erupted, right after Dani’s doctor informed her that if she didn’t meet her goal weight for the next week, she would be hospitalized. Unfazed, she refused to eat her dinner that evening. “My mom — my mom just lost it,� Dani said. I could hear Dani crying on the other end of the phone, and I sucked in a breath as she continued to tell me the story. Her mom, frustrated, started shoving food onto a spoon and forcing it past Dani’s sealed lips. “My sisters were screaming, ‘Mom, you gotta stop, you gotta stop!’� she said. “And, my dad, too. He had to calm her down. Everyone was yelling. My mom ended up leaving for a few days after that.� But Dani didn’t retell that harrowing ordeal at the dinner table from her own memory; she had completely blocked it out, unable to remember it ever happening. “My mom told me about it last year, and I was in shock,� she said. “I honestly had no idea that I tore my family apart like that.� The concept of repressed memories has been a long-standing controversy in the scientific world, stemming from Sigmund Freud’s theory of repression. He claimed that the mind buries traumatic memories in a desperate attempt to reduce the anxiety associated with what has happened. Dani wasn’t the only one who experienced this phenomenon — so did Naseem Jamnia, senior at the University of Chicago. Throughout college, Naseem has battled many demons: depres-
On Saturday, I took a bus home at 7 a.m. and left the University for good.
Withdrawing from the University wrecked me. For days, I stayed in bed, depressed and filled with anger. I didn’t talk to my parents, my friends from home or from school, or my two younger brothers. It was just a hollowed-out version of me.
sion, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, cutting and disordered eating. She was a sophomore when her disastrous self-image caught up to her. That was when her hair started falling out and the nausea became unbearable. Although she cannot remember most of the events of her sophomore year, there is one day that she hasn’t forgotten. “In December, my best friend and I started screaming at each other. He threw a phone at me, threatening that I had half an hour to dial the eating disorder hotline. And so I called. I just couldn’t handle it anymore.� The University of Chicago is known for being one of the most academically rigorous schools in the country. Naseem, trapped under the extreme pressure to perform, desperately tried to hold her grades up during her sophomore year. “I couldn’t study, couldn’t concentrate, couldn’t focus. Since so many people want medical school and Ph.D. programs, the stakes are higher,� she said. “You have to be so much better to get into these schools.� Better. There it is again. Better is competitive, better is a neverending pursuit, better is not good enough. Naseem and Dani did not think they were good enough. That selfdoubt led them down dark paths, both of them pushing food away until it was completely out of reach. The first girl I interviewed for this story was Emily Butler, sophomore at Marquette University. Before we talked, I was ready to throw in the towel, to run away from the challenge, to spend my semester at home doing something less intimidating. But as she narrated, I couldn’t help but cry, staring at my phone bleakly as her strong voice poured out of the speaker. Emily was 16 years old when she was raped for the first time. She plunged deeper into the party scene and told no one about her rape. The alcohol caused her to put on a few pounds, which hit a nerve — weight had always been a struggle for her; she had big bones and wide hips. “I tried to talk to my friends about the weight,� she said. “They all had eating disorders, so they just told me to throw it up, like it was no big deal.�
The issues that caused me to move back home seemed to continue to haunt me: the selfloathing, the anxiety, the perfectionism, the constant comparisons and the unbridled fear of what other people were thinking of me. Home had always been my safe haven — the exact opposite of what my sorority had become. But returning to Hinsdale, Ill., to confront the demons had turned into a nightmare.
And so she listened to them. It was a newfound sense of control, one that she did not have while she was drinking or having sex with guys who took advantage of her state of mind. Emily vomited once a day until she began to lose that control. After a few months, she couldn’t eat without feeling the automatic urge to throw up. “I didn’t even have to induce it,� she said. “It was just coming up whether I wanted it to or not, and that scared the crap out of me.� While the bulimia intensified, Emily continued to allow guys to use her body. “There was this one night where I had this big realization,� she told me. “I was having sex with this awful guy at a party. When he finished, he literally pushed me off and told me to leave. I remember wandering into this guy’s little sister’s room. It was purple, and she had these ‘iCarly’ posters all over the wall. I mean, it was a kid’s room. I looked at myself in the mirror and didn’t know who I was. I hated myself.� This night was a turning point for Emily; she began to change soon after by adopting a healthy diet and exercise plan. She was finally on a new path. And then, another rape. Emily was in the midst of her senior year, celebrating New Year’s Eve at a friend’s house. It was a casual gathering, just until Emily went down the hallway to use the bathroom. “He ripped my dress off — it was this big football player from another high school — and threw me onto the bed. I’ve never fought so hard for anything in my entire life,� she said. The next morning, shaken and bruised, Emily was forced to open up to her parents and confess everything that had happened the past two years, which opened up a new door to healing. “The rapes — it all led to me hating my body,� she said. “I hated what boys could do to me with it. But my experiences also made me who I am today, and I wouldn’t take that away.�

Faithful follow a Mass taking place inside St. Peter’s Basilica for the election of a new pope, broadcast on a giant screen, not pictured, at the Vatican on Tuesday. Cardinals will elect the next pope amid more upheaval and uncertainty than the church has seen in decades: There’s no front-runner and no indication how long voting will last.
ART THERAPY FROM PAGE 6A said. “But now I can apply my creativity to the scientific process, and I think work’s much more fun and interesting now.� Berent added that he was also struck by the accepting nature of the club when he joined his sophomore year; fellow member David Huettner, junior in FAA, shared the same view. Huettner said one experience that stands out most to him was during a body image exercise at the campus YWCA in 2011 when members sketched the outlines of their body onto large sheets of paper with the help of a partner. Members could then add anything to their sketched outlines to display whatever they felt represented them. During this
time Huettner said something unexpected happened. “A girl in our group was suddenly struck by how personal her drawing had become and she broke down in front of us, everyone,� Huettner said. “But we all quietly crowded around her and hugged her and comforted her the best way we could. It was empowering and informative. ... That’s when I realized art therapy meant so much more to me and other members than just as a fun extracurricular.� Huettner also said his personal conversations with Kazmierczak have affected him greatly. Kazmierczak shared her experience with anorexia at IATA’s workshop on March 4. Although she admits that she was “horribly skinny� at the time, Kazmierczak said it didn’t relate to a distorted sense of her body image nor weight issues.
“In my case, I was anorexic because I wasn’t happy with my life. I didn’t want to deal with it so I stopped eating,� she said. Kazmierczak’s openness and awareness of what’s underneath the surface show that she has recovered, as described by members of the club. Kazmierczak said that artwork helps us process emotional issues as well as realize them, and that IATA can enhance the positive experience as a result of the group’s intimacy and candor. “We hope that people can recognize the inner qualities and values of a person that really matter,� Kazmierczak said. “At the end, it’s how you carry yourself and care for other people. Screw the image – live your life.�

Learn how to save a little cash by making your own detergent BAILY BRYANT Staff writer
W
ith student loans and the high price of living independently looming over many of our heads, college students are notoriously broke. To save money, we often live off of Ramen noodles and frozen pizza and enjoy the free monthly trials of Netflix rather than buying cable television. Cutting coupons is a common, as is bargain shopping. While traditional methods, like buying 35-cent packages of flavorless noodles, do
save money, there are many other ways students can stick to their budgets. It requires a little extra time and effort, but one way students can save money is by making household products like laundry detergent and fabric softener at home, rather than buying expensive brand name alternatives. By making your own laundry detergent and fabric softener, students can save between 25 to 50 cents per load. While a quarter or two may seem insignificant, the savings quickly add up. Recipes for homemade laundry soap and softener can be found on the Internet everywhere from eHow.com to Pintrest. Each recipe is a little different, but all result in significant laundry savings. Whether you’re looking to save money, or you just like to do crafty projects, try out these great do-it-yourself laundry detergent and softener alternatives.

Art therapy group helps to improve body image BY ADLAI STEVENSON STAFF WRITER
Body image may sound all too familiar to students, for it is a mental and physical health concern possibly overexposed to young demographics. But those who are concerned hope students do not roll their eyes just yet – perceptions of body image exist in many forms for people around the world. The Illini Art Therapy Association, an RSO that counts itself as one of the concerned groups, wants to help students recognize and transcend their personal troubles. Nearly every week, IATA meets in a selected area on cam-
pus where they host creative workshops for students to express themselves through their own artwork. The workshop topics change with every meeting and so do the mediums of the students’ artwork. Last week, for example, members collaborated on collages made from magazine clippings to celebrate their diversity. Another recent project involved using colored pencils and pastels to create pieces that illustrate their cherished friendships. Elka Kazmierczak, Ph.D. candidate in Education and the co-founder of IATA, said body image is only one
of the issues in how people see themselves. She added that the club’s focus encompasses acceptance of all kinds. “Our atmosphere is noncompetitive and supportive, something that college students sometimes really need in order to breathe,� Kazmierczak said. “A lot come here to help move past their feeling worthless and ugly ... some things like body image, they can be a vicious circle.� Melanie Marklein, a clinical counselor at the University, said that body image problems occur among people of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. The reason why some people put more
importance on body image than others is complex and probably depends on the interaction of many factors, she said. Several IATA members described their experience with the club as liberating, and Marklein agreed that selfexpression through art can be a powerful way of healing from “body image disturbances� and related issues. “Getting your feelings out through art allows people to release and process feelings rather than holding them all inside,� Marklein said in an email interview. “It can also be empowering to speak out about these issues through writing or art as a way to critique the
ridiculous standards and pressures that we all face.� Zack Berent, senior in Engineering and president of IATA, said he enjoys helping people discover themselves in new ways. He said that he joined the club because his schoolwork took away from his creativity. After joining, Berent said his imagination quickly came back to him and he was able to apply it to his academics as well. “My major’s usually plugging-andchugging with numbers and that can get to be pretty monotonous,� Berent

Jesse Delgado This sophomore won the Big Ten title in the 125-pound weight class last weekend at the Big Ten Championships BY DAN BERNSTEIN STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
As OF THE WEEK
the Illini faithful rose to its feet at Assembly Hall with just under a minute left in the first title match of Sunday’s Big Ten Championships, sophomore Jesse Delgado was about to do something that no Illini had done since 1945: win a Big Ten title in the 125-pound weight class. As a returning All-American following a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championships a season ago, the Gilroy, Calif., native found himself in the championship match against Iowa’s two-time Big Ten and NCAA Champion Matt McDonough. The Iowa senior held a 103-5 collegiate record heading into the Big Ten title match. Last season, Delgado handed McDonough his only loss of the year. Earlier this season, he broke McDonough’s 42-consecutive match winning streak and became the only college wrestler to defeat McDonough twice in his career. It would be difficult for the Illini 125-pounder to defeat the Hawkeye for a third time in the Big Ten final on Sunday, considering McDonough’s career dominance throughout the weight class. “My style is a lot different from other people,” Delgado said. “Other people aren’t as fast as me. The people that are can’t keep it up as long as I can.” Delgado prides himself on his quickness and his ability to attack his opponent’s legs. He explained that some of his talent is inherent, but his work ethic is what separates him. “Everyone out there has God-given talent, and mine is speed,” he said. “But I work on it at practice and conditioning. I’ve tried to take my gift and polish it to what it is now.” Delgado began the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 3 seed and pinned Nebraska’s Eric Coufal 4 minutes, 10 seconds. He then defeated Purdue’s Camden Eppert by a 10-2 decision before capturing the semifinal match against Penn State’s Nico Megaludis 4-2. Megaludis had pinned Delgado in 6 minutes, 45 seconds during the regular season. “When I’m working hard and I’m focused, I’m pretty hard to beat,”

Maestas makes his way back to gym BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER
What takes the average person six to eight months took Illini men’s gymnastics sophomore C.J. Maestas four. After tearing his right tricep at 85 percent while practicing a floor routine in mid-November, doctors told Maestas that he wouldn’t return for the 2013 season. His projected recovery would take him out of gymnastics for awhile, but on Feb. 25, Maestas was cleared to begin basic training. “My overall feeling was just excitement,” Maestas said. “I knew I had been killing it in rehab, and I knew that if I killed it in rehab and showed (the doctor) the strength and progress I had been making, then he would have been more than happy for me to go out there and do gymnastics. ... I was full of excitement, like a little kid going to the jungle gym.” Though Maestas was out with the injury, he still attended every practice to show his support for the Illini and follow his rehab schedule. Leading by example, Maestas now had to find a dif-
ferent role to take on from the sidelines. “When C.J. is in the confines of this structure, he gives 100 percent,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said. “I can’t say that about a lot of people, but he is always an inquisitive person asking, ‘How can I do more?’ or ‘What can I do better?’ I think it was tough taking on the different role. Now it’s not for me, it’s how can I make the team do better, but he adopted that role quite well.” Maestas’ clearance from the doctor does not mean that he is fully healed. He still needs to take precautions and what he is allowed to practice in the gym is limited. “He’s allowed to start doing gymnastics, which is about as vague as it could be,” Spring said. “We went through some of the specifics with the doctor. He is very concerned about taking a bad landing when it’s sore. ... He’s got to keep things limited so that he doesn’t take a bad fall and stay off pommel horse, which requires a lot of stability. No vault, no floor for another couple of weeks.” The first day back in the gym after the doctor’s clearance on
Feb. 26 brought both pain and pleasure for Maestas. Being able to touch the equipment and start basic training brought back happiness to him as a life-long gymnast. “It was literally like cruise control again,” he said. “I felt like I used to. I didn’t expect it to necessarily come back so fast. ... I just let everything go. When I do gymnastics, I am free out there. I heard an interview with (Minnesota Vikings running back) Adrian Peterson, and he said when he plays football, he feels like he’s playing football in his backyard and [he feels] 8-years-old. When I do gymnastics, I feel like I’m in a mommy-and-diapers class again, literally just having fun.” Illinois has changed its practice format after a shocking loss to Iowa earlier in the season. The Illini do more training as a team by practicing simulation events during the week. Because Maestas was recently cleared, his level of training isn’t up to the caliber of the rest of his teammates. Maestas does most of his training alone. “He does need direction and he’s not with the group,” Spring said. “He’s been great and sup-

ith all eyes on which films would advance to the Final Four, Wednesday’s third installment of March Movie Madness, to the dismay of the selection committee, featured the defeat of the tournament’s first No. 1 overall seed. March Movie Madness had mostly gone with chalk the first two days, save for a 7-2 upset in the first round of the West Region that saw Daniel Larusso and “The Karate Kid” dispatch Jake La Motta and “Raging Bull” with a series of leg sweeps and brushstroke punches that only Bob Ross could truly appreciate. Still, Upset City was in the distance. It was only a matter of time. A “Space Jam” squad looking to
surpass the limiting gaze commissioned by many for its use of animation stood at the precipice between fighting for what it believed in and giving in to the conceited self-importance of “the way we’ve always done things” culture personified by “Hoosiers” in the East Region’s Elite Eight matchup. B-ball heads everywhere converged on Hinkle Fieldhouse for the highly anticipated matchup of No. 1-seeded “Hoosiers” and No. 3-seeded “Space Jam” in the tournament’s first and only matchup between basketball films. “Hoosiers” held a distinct coaching advantage over the hoopers from Looney Toon land, captained by Birmingham Barons outfielder Michael Jordan, but all other matchups — particularly depth and intangibles (mainly Bill Murray) — favored, as history has proved, the team with Jordan on it. The experience of “Space Jam” in the art of intergalactic warfare proved too much for the small-town charisma that carried “Hoosiers” past the “Moneyball” nerds in the first round (Cy Young award winner Barry Zito, absent from the movie, surely could have helped) before escaping defeat against the young upstarts from “The Sandlot” in the Sweet 16.
“Hoosiers” head coach Norman Dale’s penchant for throwing himself out of games had been his team’s kryptonite all season, and the old-school taskmaster did it again Wednesday, opting to join Shooter in the stands for a cold one rather than instill discipline in his team. “Space Jam” wasted no time capitalizing on the folks from Hickory, displaying an unbeatable combination of high-percentage shooting and mid-’90s swagger. And just like that, a vanquished “Hoosiers” squad was the first No. 1 to fall, relegated back to its rightful spot collecting dust in every sports fan’s movie collection. Boosters in support of “Hoosiers” resorted to the use of a smear campaign following the loss, claiming “Space Jam” had used performanceenhancing drugs after a questionable blue water bottle with a piece of paper reading “Michael’s secret stuff” slapped on it was found in the postgame locker room, but the governing body responsible for March Movie Madness has yet to implement any rules forsaking the use of unmarked liquid courage. (Note from
the Governing body: Maybe next year.)

Big Ten honors top players with all-conference awards Ryan gets Coach of the Year; Paul receives 3rd-Team All-Big Ten honors BY ETHAN ASOFSKY STAFF WRITER
Editor’s Note: The Big Ten announced its 2013 basketball postseason honors Monday as voted on by the media, including first-team all-Big Ten, Coach of the Year and Freshman of the Year. First-team all-Big Ten by media:
Aaron Craft One of the peskiest defenders in the Big Ten, Craft was certainly a close second to Victor Oladipo for Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. He picked five Michigan State players’ pockets on Jan. 19, and finished the season averaging two steals per game. The knock on Craft at the beginning of the season was whether he could improve as an offensive threat. While at times still inconsistent scoring the ball, he averaged 9.7 points and 4.5 assists playing in every game this season. Best game — 21 points, six assists in 68-60 win over thenNo. 4 Michigan State.
Trey Burke Burke was named Big Ten Player of the Year on Monday and was an unanimous selection to the first team. Most expected him to be one of the conference’s elite players this season, but he was remarkably consistent for Michigan. The sophomore guard never scored in single digits in any game and averaged 18.8 points per game against ranked opponents. He also led the nation in assists. Best game — dominated the final three minutes of the Wolverines’ crucial 58-57 win over then-No. 9 Michigan State on March 3. Burke finished with 21 points and
eight assists, and also completed a game-winning steal and layup with 22 seconds remaining.
Cody Zeller The sophomore was named the nation’s preseason player of the year. While it appears Burke has him beat for the award, Zeller didn’t disappoint. He was voted First-Team All-Big Ten unanimously while finishing third in the conference in scoring (16.8 points per game), second in the conference in rebounding (8.1 per game) and second in the conference in field goal percentage (57 percent) behind teammate Oladipo. Best game — Zeller scored 25 points and pulled down 10 boards in a thrilling 72-71 win over Michigan to capture the Big Ten crown on Sunday.
Victor Oladipo The junior was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year on Monday while also picking up a unanimous nod for the first team All-Big Ten. He’ll go down in history for holding one of the most unforgettable images of the 2013 Big Ten season, when he lay facefirst sobbing on the court in Ann Arbor, Mich., after capturing the conference championship in Indiana’s thrilling one-point victory over Michigan on Sunday. He finished the season averaging 13.7 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game and 2.2 steals per game. He’s still a legitimate contender for National Player of the Year. Best game — Oladipo scored 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds in an 81-68 win over then-No.10 Ohio State on Feb. 10.
Deshaun Thomas The junior finished the season as the Big Ten’s leading scorer at 19.7 points per game and also finished tops in the conference shooting 84 percent from the free throw line. Thomas also averaged 6.1 rebounds per game and paced Ohio State to a second-place fin-

He was a unanimous selection for First-Team All-Big Ten. Best game — Thomas’ best scoring efforts came in losses, but his 18 points and eight rebounds lead the Buckeyes to a 67-58 win over then-No. 2 Indiana on March 5.
Coach of the Year Bo Ryan was named Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading Wisconsin to a 21-10 overall record and a 12-6 conference record. No coach did as much with so little. Ryan has guided
to Wisconsin to a top-four finish in the Big Ten for the 12th year in a row. Michigan State guard Gary Harris was named Big Ten Freshman of Year after averaging 13.2 points per game this season. Illinois’ Brandon Paul was
named to the Third-Team AllBig Ten and was one of 12 sportsmanship honorees. D.J. Richardson was a third-team honorable mention.

In this cellphone image taken Friday and provided by golfmanna.com, Hank Martinez, top, Ed Magaletta, right, and Russ Nobbe look into an 18-foot-deep and 10-foot-wide sinkhole that golfer Mark Minhal fell into while playing golf at the Annbriar Golf Course in Waterloo, Ill.

Golfer falls into sinkhole on Illinois course Golfer escapes with shoulder injury over a week after man dies in Fla. sinkhole BY JIM SUHR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Mark Mihal was having a good opening day on the links when he noticed an unusual depression on the fairway of the 14th hole at Annbriar Golf Club in southern Illinois. Remarking to his friends how awkward it would be to have to hit out of it, he went over for a closer look. One step onto the pocked section and the 43-year-old mortgage broker was plunging into a sinkhole. He landed 18 feet down with a painful thud, and his friends managed to hoist him to safety with a rope after about 20 minutes. But Friday’s experience gave Mihal quite a fright, particularly after the much-publicized recent death of a man in Florida whose body hasn’t been found since a sinkhole swallowed him and his bedroom. “I feel lucky just to come out of it with a shoulder injury,
falling that far and not knowing what I was going to hit,” Mihal, from the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur, told The Associated Press before heading off to learn whether he’ll need surgery. “It was absolutely crazy.” Mihal said it was a real downer on what had been a fine outing. With winter finally nearing an end, “it was the first day to get to play in a long time,” he said. “So I wasn’t expecting too much.” Golfing with buddies, Mihal was waiting to hit his third shot, some 100 yards from the pin on the par 5, when he noticed a bathtub-looking indentation about knee deep just behind him on the fairway. At just one over par for the round, the golfer with a 6 handicap was on a roll. Mihal said he was completely surprised when the ground gave way beneath him. “It didn’t look unstable,” he said. “And then I was gone. I was just freefalling. It felt like forever, but it was just a second or two, and I didn’t know what I was going to hit. And all I saw was darkness.” His golfing buddies didn’t see him vanish into the earth but
noticed he wasn’t visible, figuring he had tripped and fallen out of sight down a hill. But one of them heard Mihal’s moans and went to investigate. “He just thought it was some crazy magic trick or something,” Mihal said. Getting panicky and knowing his shoulder “was busted,” Mihal assessed his dilemma in pitch darkness as he rested on a mound of mud, wondering if the ground would give way more and send him deeper into the pit that was 10-feet wide at the opening, then broadened out into the shape of a bell below the surface. “I was looking around, clinging to the mud pile, trying to see if there was a way out,” he said. “At that point, I started yelling, ‘I need a ladder and a rope, and you guys need to get me out of here.’” A ladder that was hustled to the scene was too short, and Mihal’s damaged shoulder crimped his ability to climb. “At some point, I said, ‘I need to get out of here. Now,’” Mihal recalled. One of his golf partners, a real-estate agent, made his way into the hole, converted his sweater into a splint for Mihal and tied a rope around
his friend, who was pulled to safety. “I felt fortunate I didn’t break both legs, or worse,” Mihal said. While disturbing, such sinkholes aren’t uncommon in southwestern Illinois, where old underground mines frequently cause the earth to settle. In Mihal’s case, the sinkhole’s culprit was subsurface limestone that dissolves from acidic rainwater, snowmelt and carbon dioxide, eventually causing the ground to collapse, said Sam Panno, a senior geochemist with the Illinois State Geological Survey. That region “is riddled with sinkholes,” with as many as 15,000 recorded, Panno said. The one Mihal survived has him debating whether returning to Annbriar is a long shot. “It’s a great course. I love the course,” Mihal said, having played Annbriar a couple dozen times during the past decade. “But I would have a tough time probably walking down that hole again.” The 20-year-old course proclaims on its website that “each year new golfers are tested by our challenging 18 holes of golf.” There’s no mention of its newest — and most challenging — hole.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa knows that it will need to make a stunning run through the Big Ten tournament to earn an NCAA tournament bid. The Hawkeyes think they’re up for it. Iowa’s postseason resume is saddled with a weak nonconference schedule and a lack of quality road wins. But the sheer depth of the Big Ten means the Hawkeyes (2011, 9-9) could drastically improve their profile before the NCAA tournament field is announced on Sunday. Sixth-seeded Iowa opens Big Ten tournament play against Northwestern on Thursday night. Coach Fran McCaffery said Tuesday there is a “good possibility” that starting guard Mike Gesell will be back after a suffering what he said was a stress reaction in his right foot late last month. “For us to have a chance to hold our own destiny, however many games we win, to have people kind of thinking we can get into (the NCAA) tournament depending on how many games we win, it’s just a fun time of year,” Iowa forward Aaron White said. The Hawkeyes turned their season around after a double-overtime loss at Wisconsin on Feb. 6. They won six of their last eight games to reach the break even mark in
the league for the first time since going 9-7 in 2007, former coach Steve Alford’s final year. But like many so-called bubble teams, Iowa’s resume has its high points and its low points. A .500 record in the toughest league in the country would seem to make the Hawkeyes a lock for the NCAA tournament, especially since Minnesota and Illinois — both of whom lost to Iowa — are likely in despite 8-10 league marks. But an RPI of 72 and a 2-7 road mark in Big Ten games make the NIT a more likely destination. McCaffery defended his team’s resume, pointing to data other than RPI as criteria he hopes the NCAA selection committee will consider. “We don’t have any bad losses really. We have some really good wins. We’ve been consistent. So I think from that standpoint, I’m very happy with what we’ve done,” McCaffery said. Iowa might also be uniquely positioned for a run through the league tournament because its bench is about as deep as other teams in the league. The Hawkeyes have no trouble playing 10, an asset at a time of year when many benches are shortened. The expected return of Gesell should help the backcourt, and the sudden emergence of sophomore forward/center Gabe Olaseni has shored up the frontcourt.

GYMNASTICS FROM PAGE 1B him, when Maestas starts his routines, all eyes are drawn to him. “He has a presence in the gym like no other,” Spring said. “When he was on high bar, the whole gym almost stopped to see what he was doing. He still has that allure from the guys.” Because Maestas hasn’t touched gymnastics equipment in four months, he can perform just basic skills. The consistent repetition of the basics will help Maestas move to more advanced gymnastics, something Spring said can work to his advantage. “C.J.’s start (values) are going to be world-elite level,” he said. “He needs that international presence. That international body line, as we call it. He needs to work on some of the basics: the fine-tuning details, his handstand position, form. Things like that really make a gymnast shine among the greatest of the great.” Returning to training hasn’t been all success. Not being able to perform the high level of skill he once could causes frustration. Maestas’ mental strength and focus will play a huge role in his recovery. “It’s the same thing that’s dif-

ficult with training in general,” Spring said. “The mismatched belief that you know you can do this and your body’s inability to do so. Your brain is never really held back by anything if you believe you can do something. It then becomes your body holding you back. ... Fortunately for C.J., I think he is like me and has unconditional belief in himself, which is why he is a great competitor.” A combination of genetics and hard work has propelled Maestas through his rehab schedule. “I wasn’t just going to sit and lift a two-pound weight lifting my arm up thinking, ‘This sucks’ and dwell,” Maestas said. “I was sitting there imagining that I was doing a high bar set. Genetically, I’m a freak, at least with certain things. My muscle tone was coming back so quick and (men’s gymnastics trainer) Melissa (Brungard) didn’t know what to do. She said, ‘You are lifting two pounds like it’s nothing, when a normal person would be lifting two pounds and hurting.’ I literally treated rehab as if I was doing gymnastics.” Spring had no doubt that Maestas would recover quicker than expected. He expected Maestas to be cleared during his doctor’s appointment in late February. Whether Maestas will return at the end of this season has still

film dedicated to the try-hard, notalent assclown Daniel E. “Rudy” Ruettiger. Joe Montana witnessed the real Rudy as quarterback of the Irish in the late ’70s and has debunked many of the movie’s claims, saying no one cheered for Rudy during the final game of his career as the film’s climax suggests. The team carrying him off the field? Done in jest. “Rudy” sits on a throne of lies, and the ruse, praise Touchdown Jesus, is finally up. “Bull Durham” rode a dominant performance from star pitcher Ebby Calvin LaLoosh, who proved that knowing about “all this molecule stuff” isn’t all that necessary when it comes to defeating one’s enemy, especial-
ly when your opponent’s size isn’t even comparable to that of a punter. (Seriously, what benefit was Rudy’s presence on the practice squad in helping the Irish simulate game conditions against Purdue?) No. 1 seeds prevailed in the other two regions, with “Rocky” gutting out a victory over the flashy college kids from No. 2-seeded “Miracle” in the battle to prove which film’s emotionally manipulative nationalism could cause more fans to stand up and cheer. Russia sucks, guys, am I right? In the West Region, meanwhile, “Remember the Titans” disposed of No. 6-seeded “The Natural” with relative ease, powered by racial tolerance,
unrelenting blitz packages and a heaping dose of Soul Power. If there’s a silver lining (playbook) to take away from the bloodbath that ensued, it’s that Hayden Panettiere and Ryan Gosling (mostly Gosling) were just role players for “Remember the Titans” and had yet to hit their stride as some of Hollywood’s most desired heartthrobs. Gosling fully committed himself to his role as the loose-limbed, country-musicloving defensive back eventually replaced by rage-channeling, future surgeon Petey Jones, and Panettiere, ya know, was only 11 at the time of the film’s release. With both Panettiere and Gosling (once again, mostly Gosling) in their primes, it’s safe to assume
at least one representative from “The Natural” would have died on the field, which, unlike Adrian in “Rocky,” would be traumatic for movie fans everywhere. But that’s a problem for the loser’s bracket. The smoke has cleared, the first Goliath has fallen and three No. 1 seeds have emerged to play in the Final Four. Who will emerge victorious? I don’t know the answer because “Fast Five” wasn’t included in the field, and that movie would have definitely won it all. Make sure to check in Thursday and Friday to see how things play out.
nwritten rules have governed rec center basketball since the hardwood was first laid down. If there is a floor, two hoops, a ball and 10 men nearby, a pickup game of basketball will happen, and everyone will already know how to play. “We playing to 15?” “Yeah.” “Ones and twos?” “Yeah.” “Cool. Ball in!” That particular back-andforth has been spoken more at the ARC than any sort of hello. Who needs an introduction when, instead, you can miss a layup and knock down a jumper, in that order? No one is good and everyone is accepted. It’s comfortable. Pickup basketball is a safe haven in the same way all sports are sanctuaries at their core. Remove the money and the fame, and it’s just a handful of people running around with competitive juices flowing. It’s fun to win, but more so, it’s just fun that winning matters at all. I used to think differently, that playing the game and losing was like chewing a best cut steak then spitting it out. You needed that swallow — that win — to make the enjoyment substantial. This was from ages 0-18, when parents and guardians organized it all and any game from hockey to lacrosse to little league was on the menu of choices. When you graduate high school, that menu goes away. The only option becomes basketball, which remains available day, night, rain, shine, old, young and everywhere in between. It’s a ball and a hoop and easy enough; the goal is to put the ball in the hoop. You can play with a crumpled piece of paper and a waste basket. It’s more or less the same game we learned as infants playing with building blocks — put the round block in the round hole. Is its simplicity the explanation for its constancy? A pickup game in New York is likely identical to a pickup game in California, regardless of religion, ethnicity or class. I hope it’s the same for Italy, Spain, the rest of Europe and the rest of the world. I wouldn’t doubt it. Philosopher John Locke wrote that man was born as a blank slate, a “tabula rasa,” but he was wrong because we knew the rules of pickup basketball from conception. I’m shocked that “shoot for ball” isn’t every baby’s first sentence. Simplicity is certainly at the heart of the popularity. Every night, I can expect to be asked to play 5-on-5 at the ARC. I’ve never once been asked to head out to the baseball field for a game of 9-on-9. I’d love organized hardball, but I get organized roundball, so I won’t complain. Evident by the ARC’s repeat customers, I’m not alone in this sentiment. There is always a familiar face you’ll see the second you walk on the floor. There is the guy with the hat, the guy with the hair and the guy with that shirt. You’ll see “hey, it’s that guy” guy and “oh, remember that guy?” guy. You’ll play with the guy who only shoots from behind the arc. You’ll play against the guy who screams profanity because God forbid he miss a jumpshot. If the campus is a barrel, then the students are the monkeys, linking on to each other five at a time to head to the ARC or CRCE. When no one is playing, what do the monkeys do? They sit around and check their phones, watch TV and nap. It’s when we’re linked, each trying to make our layups and play halfway respectable defense, that the barrel is its happiest. Activity is great, but competition is better. And in the never-ending winter, the ARC is Mecca. That’s where I’ll be, trying to my damndest to make some layups.

gado said. “He recruited me out of high school, and I wasn’t one of the top recruits by any means.” McDonough, on the other hand, was one of the top recruits out of high school after winning three state championships in his home state of Iowa. As the two 125-pound wrestlers took the mat and shook hands, Delgado shook out his muscles one last time. The referee signaled for the match to begin, and Delgado was able to take control right away with an early takedown to grab the 2-0 lead. After recording over two minutes of riding time, Delgado took his 2-0 lead into the second period. He then chose down to begin the second and collected
an escape and another takedown to increase his lead to 5-0, as both Perry and Hunter pumped their fists by the side of the mat. “Me and Mark [Perry] have built a pretty good relationship to where I consider him part of my family,” Delgado said, which explains Perry’s emotions toward the match. “And when I got here, Jeremy [Hunter] just took me to the next level.” Delgado has been able to work with Hunter, the 2000 NCAA Champion at 125-pounds. Hunter wrestles Delgado on a daily basis, which is part of the reason why Delgado has greatly improved during his collegiate career. “[Delgado] has had the benefit and the opportunity to work with
a guy like Jeremy Hunter, who is 10 times the wrestler McDonough is,” Perry said. “He’s a grown man. Wrestling Jeremy Hunter is a lot more difficult than wrestling any guy at 125 pounds in the country.” McDonough nabbed an escape before the end of the second period, but Delgado remained on top with a 5-1 lead heading into the final period. McDonough started in the down position and quickly added an escape point, but Delgado was able to use his quickness late in the match as he took another shot at McDonough’s legs to record his third takedown of the match. From that point on, Delgado continued to control the match
and never looked back. He won for the third time against the twotime National Champion, dealing him only the sixth loss of his career. But this time it wasn’t a regular season match. “It’s a pretty cool feeling watching him [McDonough] win nationals when I was a senior in high school and then going out and beating him the way I did,” Delgado said. With the NCAA Championships coming up, the two are likely to face each other once more this season. Delgado will take his Big Ten Championship into Des Moines, Iowa, from March 21-23. “In my opinion, he [Delgado] is just better,” Perry said. “He’s a better wrestler and we’re gonna
beat him [McDonough] again in two weeks.” Adding further to the impact of Delgado’s victory over McDonough was a tweet from Daily Iowan reporter Sam Louwagie that said: “This is the 2nd place 125 pound Big Ten trophy. We found it in the garbage.” A photo of the second-place medal accompanied the tweet. “In my head right now, he can’t beat me,” the Big Ten champion said. Seeing as he’s dealt one of the sport’s best 125-pounders half of his career losses speaks to that mentality.

Illinois gymnast C.J Maestas uses the horse bucket during practice at Kenney Hall, on March 7. yet to be determined, but his main goal will be to make the national team this summer. “I don’t want to come back too soon, where my future will be in jeopardy,” Maestas said. “I’m going to keep doing rehab and take it step by step, and whatever
happens, happens. If I come back this season, I would be grateful. I want to help the team out, but if it doesn’t happen right now, I’m not too worried about it. “It’s hard to raise your hand in a competition and you are swimming with the sharks your first
time. I need to go test the waters at qualifiers in the summer. When that competition comes, then I plan to compete at Visa’s and make the national team for 2013.”

Illini struggle with closing games, fouling Facing teams multiple times
BY MICHAEL WONSOVER STAFF WRITER
After the Illinois women’s basketball team defeated Indiana on Feb. 23 in front of 3,088 fans, the largest paid crowd of the season, the team left Assembly Hall with a 16-10 record and clinched the program’s first season above .500 in the Big Ten in a decade. Things were certainly looking up for the much-improved Illini with two games remaining in the regular season. The Illini lost their last two games of the regular season, losing out on a first-round bye at the Big Ten Tournament. In the first round Thursday, Wisconsin proved to be too much for Illinois. The NCAA tournament seemed like a certainty for Illinois a couple weeks ago, but ESPN’s Charlie Creme now projects the Illini as one of the next four out, with 10 teams currently ahead of Illinois. Here are the reasons behind Illinois’ collapse and a season-high three-game losing streak to end the season.
Late-game execution Key stat — Illinois is 0-6 in games decided by four points or less. Illinois has struggled in close games all season, losing all six games decided by four points or less. If the Illini won even half of their close games, the team would have a 19-10 record and would be a safe bet for the NCAA tournament. In its last three games, in particular, Illinois has had poor second halves. On Feb. 28 against Ohio State, Illinois shot only 23.5 percent from the field in the second half, while allowing the Buckeyes to convert 57.9 percent of its field-goal attempts. On March 3 at Purdue, Illinois led 50-47 with 11:48 remaining in the game, but the Boilermakers went on to end the contest on a 29-15 run. In its last outing against Wisconsin in the first round of the conference tournament, Illinois took the lead after junior guard Amber Moore nailed a 3-pointer with 42 seconds remaining, putting the Illini up 57-54. Wisconsin would finish the game on a 4-0 run fueled by two late-game Illinois fouls. “I think we just have to learn how to keep the edge,” Moore said. “We’re a better team when we’re on edge and we’re being the most aggressive team. And we’re the first one on the floor for loose balls, and we didn’t show that in the second half (against Wisconsin).” “We haven’t been good playing with leads, honestly,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. “We built a lead playing aggressively and playing hard in the first half, and then we didn’t do that in the second half. We waited until we really got down 10 before we started to be the most aggressive team, and that was a struggle.
MOVIE MADNESS FROM PAGE 1B lowing the dual to decide which team would emerge from the North Region. No. 1 overall seed “Bull Durham” took care of business against “Rudy,” sending the undersized miscreant back to the steel mill with a long, slow, deep, soft, wet, three-day kiss goodbye. Quality of the films aside, it was Truth that propelled Crash Davis and Co. past South Bend’s finest. If exorcism movies have taught us anything, it’s that “based on a true story” doesn’t always entail an exact representation of events. There is no bigger culprit of relaying inspirational falsities than the
IOTW FROM PAGE 1B Delgado said. “When I’m not as focused, anything can happen.” Delgado attributes much of his success to associate head coach Mark Perry and assistant coach Jeremy Hunter. Perry coached Delgado at Cal Poly in 2011, and recruited Delgado out of high school. After Delgado redshirted his freshman season at Cal Poly, Perry was offered the associate head coaching job at Illinois and took Delgado with him. “I’m going to be the first that he (Perry) gets to recruit all the way forward, five years through,” Del-

Key stat — Illinois is 2-4 when facing teams for the second or third time this season, while the Illini went 4-1 when they played opponents for the first time. The Illini had success this season when facing their opponents for the first time. On Jan. 6, Illinois defeated Ohio State 79-73 in Columbus. Four days later, Illinois had its largest Big Ten victory of the season, defeating Northwestern 65-47 on the road. Illinois also won its first meeting against Wisconsin and Minnesota, although it dropped its first matchup against Purdue in overtime. On Jan. 20, only 10 days after it dominated Northwestern, Illinois lost to the Wildcats 62-58 at Assembly Hall. Illinois would also lose its next meeting against Ohio State, falling 64-53 on senior night on Feb. 28. Although Illinois swept Wisconsin and Minnesota in the regular season, the Badgers got another crack at Illinois in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. Wisconsin beat Illinois in last Thursday’s matchup after the Illini defeated Wisconsin by an average margin of 7.5 points in the first two meetings. Illinois’ struggles can be partially be attributed to opponents’ adjustments to the Buzz. The unorthodox defense catches teams off guard when they play against the Buzz for the first time, but it loses some of its effectiveness once the team has gained familiarity with Bollant’s style.
Foul trouble Key stat — Illinois ranks 310th in the nation in personal fouls per game at 18.8 per game and has had a player foul out 30 times this season, which leads the NCAA. In Illinois’ last three games, four starters have picked up three personal fouls or more in a game. Against Ohio State, every starter committed three or more fouls with sophomore guard Alexis Smith being the only player who didn’t commit at least four fouls. Sophomore guard Ivory Crawford fouled out. In the team’s next game against Purdue, every starter committed a foul four or more times except Moore. Crawford fouled out for her second consecutive game. Facing Wisconsin on Thursday, every player fouled three or more times except for Moore, while Smith and Penn fouled out. Penn sat for the final 8:01 of the first half against Wisconsin after picking up her third foul of the game when attempting to grab an offensive rebound. She played only nine first-half minutes. “The first couple calls were definitely questionable,” Penn said. “In the first half, we were doing really well without me. But in the second half, when (the Badgers) went

Illinois’ Amber Moore passes during the Illini’s win over Iowa at Assembly Hall on Jan. 31. Illinois has struggled recently, largely becuase of foul trouble and poor late-game execution. on their run, it definitely hurt to not be out there.” After Penn got her fourth foul early in the half, the Badgers went on a 15-5 run with Penn sitting on the bench, cutting Illinois’ lead to 36-35 with 12:01 remaining in the game after trailing by 10 points at halftime. Penn fouled out with three seconds left on a drive by Wisconsin junior guard Morgan Paige, who would go on to make both free throws, propelling the Badgers to the 58-57 win. “Karisma only played 22 minutes. It
was kind of devastating to our team and hurt us,” Bollant said. “She just never really got in the flow because of that foul trouble. So that definitely was something that hurt our team. I thought we adjusted in the first half and did a really good job in the first half playing without her. But the second half, we struggled to get in the flow offensively and be able to get the ball inside and get easy baskets, which she normally gets.”
