Circus runs away with Alma Mater Referendums on fees pass; Chief results sequesteredBY TYLER DAVISSTAFF WRITER
The Campus Stu-dent Elections Com-mission unoffi -cially announced the winners of the spring 2013 election Thursday.
As of these unoffi-cial counts, all avail-able referendums passed on this year’s ballot, including the $25-per-semester Assembly Hall renovation fee, which is planned to finance 17 percent of reno-vations on the building.
The results of a question asking whether stu-dents support Chief Illiniwek as the official sym-bol of the University are being withheld, pend-ing a Moot Court Board Judiciary case. The case centers on the constitutionality of a res-olution passed by the Illinois Student Senate that enabled a symbol selection survey in mid-January. If the resolution is deemed unconsti-tutional, the results of the election and survey won’t be released.
The judiciary hearing will take place Wednesday.
The unofficial counts also indicate that Mike

UI health care rates to increase
Urbana sets 2012 recycling recordBY CORINNE RUFF STAFF WRITER
Almost half of Urbana’s total waste in 2012 was recycled, marking a record high for the city.
According to a new waste report released by the environmental management division, the city’s diversion rate, the amount of recycled waste, including repurposed landscape waste, divided by total waste, increased from 22 to 40 percent.
While the public works department staff isn’t sure what caused the jump, Urbana’s recycling coordinator Courtney Rushforth said she thinks the higher diversion rate can be attributed to increased outreach and education, both locally and nationally. She said it could also be an indi-cator of an improving economy.
“Once the green movement took hold, we saw more interest in people recycling,” Rushforth said. “That has increased along with climate change and talk about sustainability and envi-ronmental awareness.”
Rushforth said the 18 percentage-point increase in diversion rates since last year is

On Friday and Saturday, almost every regular trend from past Unofficials held: a high ratio of non-University students ticketed to those given to University students (about 3-to-2), large number of minors ticketed, huge parties raided (a record-high bust this year netted 69 violations, 61 of them for minors in possession — that’s $19,520 in tickets).
But the most unmistakable trend was weather’s effects on the Unofficial festivities, which may have been the factor that significantly reduced the number of violations recorded that day.
“At least in the early morning and afternoon hours, because they noticed weather was fairly cold … more students may have decided to drink indoors,” said Roy Acree, University police captain. “I’d say this year was primarily weather-driven, compared to last years.”

… but minor in possession tickets dropped below half of all citations on Friday, for the first time in three years
BY AUSTIN KEATINGSTAFF WRITER
The University’s board of trustees met for its regular meeting Thursday and approved the following:
University health care rates increaseIn keeping with the Affordable Care Act, stu-
dent health insurance fees will see an increase of 16 and 6 percent next year for undergraduate and graduate students, respectively.
The undergraduate rate will be $254, $35 more than last year, and the graduate rate will be $328, $18 more from last year.
The health insurance policy will also follow the federal mandate in prohibiting lifetime health benefit limits and raising the annual cap to $500,000 for undergraduate students and $1

Baseball looks to make statement
The Illinois baseball team has always made it a point to have a tough nonconference sched-ule. In 2009, the Illini took two out of three from No. 1 LSU. That moment brings back fond memories from those still in the program.
The Illini (7-4) have a chance to make a statement when they travel to Waco, Texas, for a three-game series against Baylor (7-6), which was one win away from the College World Series last season.

million for graduate students.The act allows three years to
phase in the new requirements for commercially insured health insurance programs such as the University’s.
New academic centers created
Three new centers will open: the Center for a Sustainable Environment, Center for Farm-land Research and Grainger Cen-ter for Electric M a c h i n e r y and Electro-mechanics.
The Cen-ter for Sus-tainable Envi-ronment will replace the Office of Sus-tainability and bring together several campus units and put them all under one roof. It will cost the University $450,000 annually.
The Center for Farmland Research is being funded by TIAA-CREF, a financial servic-
es company, and will conduct research into farming and use outreach programs focusing on taxation and policy. The com-pany will give $5 million over three years.
The Grainger Center for Electric Machinery and Elec-tromechanics will involve stu-dents in research on the use of electric machines.
Law school implements improvements
Dean Bruce Smith of the Col-lege of Law took the podium and told board members, three
of whom are alumni of the law school, that the col-lege is taking steps towards “engineering a better, safer and more just society.”
To cope with declining
applicants and renew its reputa-tion after an admissions scan-dal two years ago, Smith said he has instituted new programs and changes. This includes a $10 million scholarship cam-paign aimed at diversifying the
college’s students.“There’s a strong link
between affordability and diversity,” he said.
He also said his college was taking efforts to be more trans-parent both with scholarships and its application process.
University hopes to increase revenue from donations
Thomas Farrell, president of the University of Illinois Foun-dation, said gifts to the Uni-versity are at an all-time high.
In fiscal year 2013, Farrell said the University will receive at least $167.1 million. He said he plans to double that amount in the next eight or 10 years, depending on which plan the foundation creates.
He pointed to the Grainger gift, the second $100 million donation given to the Univer-sity, as a good sign. But at the same time, he stressed the need to look to alumni for more donations.
“We have a very large com-munity to draw on,” he said. “There’s a lot to be done.”

significant compared with the yearly average increase, which is about 3 percent to 5 per-cent. However, she said Urba-na is still not on track to meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s goals of a 50 percent diversion rate for every city by 2015.
Rushforth said the city is more likely to make the goal by 2020. According to the EPA, the nation reached a 51 percent diversion rate in fiscal year 2009.
As a way to increase the diversion rate, Rushforth said she hopes to develop techniques used by cities such as Port-land, Ore., an environmentally progressive city that is about 14 times the size of Urbana, by implementing food scrap-ping, a method for community composting.
Portland achieved a 52.3 percent diversion rate in 2011, according to Portland’s city waste reports.
“Our goal would be at least a 50 percent diversion rate and many communities have that and greater,” she said. “It’s a lofty goal, but I hope we are striving.”
Not only are people recycling more, but Mike Brunk, city arborist, said people are also buying more recycled products, such as compost and mulch.
The city currently composts 8 percent of all waste.
“People are starting to become aware of the recycled
products out there and their quality,” he said. “We are recre-ating Mother Nature’s process in our own way as well as keep-ing it out of the landfill.”
Alderman Eric Jakobsson, Ward 2, said diverting more waste will benefit landfills in two ways.
“One way is less volume,” he said. “The second thing is that the things going into the landfill are more biodegradable. You’re
taking out glass and plastic, the least biodegradable stuff.”
Jakobsson said he thinks Urbana’s increase in divert-ed waste is an indication that Urbana is doing what it can to be environmentally friendly.
“It’s practical, it’s affordable, and it improves everybody’s quality of life,” he said.
Corinne can be reached at [email protected].
Urbana sees spike in recycling in 2012In 2012, the city of Urbana’s recycling program, U-Cycle, has diverted 40 percent of all garbage from a landfill to be recycled . Urbana recycling coordinator Courtney Rushforth said the 18 percentage-point increase is likely due to increased educational program and media awareness and could be a sign of an improving economy.

Last Blockbuster in C-U area prepares to close on April 6BY LIZ AMANIEHCONTRIBUTING WRITER
Blockbuster Incorporated announced in 2011 that it would start the process of selling the company. The last remaining Blockbuster in Champaign will close April 6.
After Blockbuster’s 2011 bank-ruptcy sale, the company is still continuing to close down stores in the United States. In the Cham-paign-Urbana area, only one loca-tion remaine.
Kathleen Ory, marketing spe-cialist at Blockbuster, said stores are closing because of financial reasons.
“We continue to analyze store levels of profitability, as well as leases and contracts, and we’re closing around 300 stores,” Ory said.
Dish Network, which acquired Blockbuster after the bankruptcy sale, analyzed the level of prof-itability of each store and then decided to close it. The remaining locations, such as the one locat-ed at 1907 W. Springfield Ave. in Champaign, have been able to operate until now because of their profitability.
The changing nature of film has also contributed to Blockbust-er’s financial troubles. New medi-ums for new release video renting such as Redbox or Netflix have provided convenience on a level
that Blockbuster hadn’t tapped into as successfully, said Geoffrey Merritt, owner of Champaign vid-eo store That’s Rentertainment.
Redbox vending machines serve as a provider of newly released films while Netflix and streaming on Amazon allow view-ers to access a movie right from their laptop. Blockbuster has been trying to keep up with this transition.
“We do have Blockbuster by mail and we have been encourag-ing the people in the areas where our stores are closing to go online and use that,” Ory said. “We have had that and will continue to use it.”
David Tewksbury, communica-tions professor, said the changes Blockbuster made cannot com-pete with the changes brought about by the Internet.
“I’ve seen Blockbuster rent-ing them (videos) cheaper, try-ing to sell the things, trying to get into games,” Tewksbury said. “They’re doing all these things to try to survive because all these things can be much more easi-ly and quickly delivered online.”
Despite Blockbuster’s financial constraints, other rental compa-nies, such as That’s Rentertain-ment, are not experiencing eco-nomic problems. Merritt said this is likely because they cater to a different audience.
That’s Rentertainment, 516 E. John St., Champaign, is an example of a business that is less affected by the changing nature of the film industry.
“They (Blockbuster) always focused on new releases and big hit titles, and we focus on everything else,” Merritt said. “We never tried to compete with Blockbuster because we just didn’t bring in thousands of copies of new releases. We’d bring in classics, foreign films and documentaries, everything that Blockbuster didn’t have. The people who were going to Blockbuster were looking main-ly for the biggest titles, and we don’t really do much of that.”
The clientele for businesses on and off campus are slightly different and for this reason, Merritt said they are unaffected by the recent Blockbuster clos-ing in terms of profit.
“People who don’t live or work on campus rarely come to campus,” Merrit said. “There’s the perception that there’s no parking and it’s hard to drive around. Generally speaking, our clientele are students and peo-ple associated with the Univer-sity or retired people from the University.”

Cunningham, junior in LAS, will be elected to the office of student trustee with 2,345 votes.
Cunningham earned 169 more votes than his closest con-tender, Brian Siegel, junior in Media and former Illini Media employee.
“I can’t explain how excited I am,” Cunningham said. “I’m looking forward to speaking with (the other candidates), and I am actually setting up a meet-ing with them ... to really just see how we can work together to address the issues we have.”
He said that he has a few ini-tiatives he would like to pursue during his term, such as making student fees refundable again
and releasing a more broken-down statement of the fees.
He said that during his first few months in office, he will talk to all of the RSOs on cam-pus to see where their main con-cerns lie.
He is also interested in estab-lishing a joint police explorers program between the Univer-sity, Champaign and Urba-na police departments for 15- to 24-year-old aspiring law officials.
“Through that, they can be an extra set of eyes and ears on campus,” Cunningham said.
Following Siegel, Ryan Glea-son, junior in LAS, received 1,259 votes. Carey Ash, write-in candidate and graduate stu-dent senator, received 940 votes and was trailed by LaDarius DuPree, junior in LAS, and Shao Guo, vice president-inter-
nal of the Illinois Student Sen-ate, who received 762 and 597 votes respectively.
Ash was denied a spot on the ballot by the University after Kenneth Ballom, dean of stu-dents, told Ash he did not meet the University’s in-state resi-dency requirements, which require him to be employed in Illinois and excludes his cur-rent graduate assistantship as qualification. Ash is recog-nized as a resident by the state by Illinois, which is required by state law for student trustee candidacy.
According to the CSEC web-site, election results may be subject to change before the official results are certified at about 4 p.m. Monday.

Weekend open house events anticipate thousands of prospective UI studentsBY AMAYA ADAMSCONTRIBUTING WRITER
The University will welcome thousands this weekend as several colleges will open their doors to pro-spective students and their families for open house events.
The Colleges of Engineering, Media, Veterinarian Medicine, ACES, AHS, FAA and LAS will all have open houses Friday and Satur-day. This is the first year that these colleges will have their open houses on the same weekend, as the Admis-sions Office asked colleges to start thinking collaboratively about their open houses.
“The initiative to have all colleg-es host open houses on this week-end was a deliberate decision that we have been working on since the beginning of last year,” said Megan Tucker Zwilling, director of Student Services in the College of Media.
Aside from campus tours that many students take, open houses provide prospective freshmen with an opportunity to receive a com-prehensive look at colleges of their interest.
“They will walk away having a strong feeling of what the culture is here, what the students and faculty are like and what it will take to be successful in certain departments,” said Lori Kay Paden, an advisor of Experience AHS.
This year’s 93rd annual Engi-neering Open House is expected to attract more than 20,000 visi-tors. It will include three design competitions, more than 250 exhi-bitions throughout all engineer-ing facilities and a Friday key-note speech by Phil Plait, writer for Slate Magazine and former NASA astronomer.
“(Prospective students) get to see projects that they could get to work on,” said Gloria Lin, director of EOH and senior in Engineering. “It is really a unique experience because every engineering disci-pline is on display here at EOH.”
Returning to EOH will also be the Tesla Coil Performance, which will recreate popular music by using bolts of electricity.
ExplorACES anticipates 2,000 visitors. Tours, mini-classes and exhibits from all ACES depart-ments and student organizations will be available.
“(ExplorACES) will present a lot of information from the standpoint of interest,” said Jason Emmert, advisor for ExplorACES. “They’ll see things about food and about business and about animals. It’s these areas of interest that pulls them in.”
Students attending the Col-lege of FAA open house will have a more structured experience.
Faculty-led workshops will be conducted according to major, giving a hands-on experience to attendees.
“Student ambassadors are cre-ating personalized itineraries the night before for every single family,” said Katrine Trantham, assistant dean of recruitment and admissions for FAA. “Every stu-dent will have a completely differ-ent itinerary from other students that will be customized to their interests.”
The event will also feature “Stu-dent Spotlight,” at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, which gives current students the opportunity to display their artwork.
Academic advisors through-out the University, like Paden, hope that while future students may be unsure of a major, they will leave open houses knowing where a degree can take them in the future.
“They are going to have a bet-ter understanding of the majors and the programs that we offer here (in ACES), and perhaps even more importantly, the connection of our areas of interest with future careers,” Emmert said.

Thomas Haley, a building service worker for five and a half years and member of SEIU, protests on the Quad on Wednesday. SEIU members will vote on a University counter proposal this weekend. Should members deny it, SEIU may choose to strike.
“There’s a strong link between affordability

We called ourselves “The Octos.”It was July 2009, and the
eight of us were crammed into a bathroom at a crowded San Fran-cisco restaurant. We held temporary tattoos and wet paper towels against our hands.
“Three, two, one ... done!”Giggling, we peeled back the pieces
of paper and held out our arms. There, on eight hands, were eight little blue octopuses. I don’t remember who said it, but at that point, it was decided: We would be The Octos. Best friends. Accountability partners. Sisters in Christ. Fast-forward to March 2013. The Octos are now scattered across several states: two of us are here at the University, but the rest are miles away, in Alabama navigating heartbreak and Southern sorority life, in Colora-do snowboarding on the weekends, in Florida learning how to heal.
The first column of my semester was devoted to exploring intentional-ity in friendships. What I’ve discov-ered since leaving for college last fall is how crucial it is to set aside time for old friends as well. They know me the
way a new friend can’t: my family, my house, my past mistakes and struggle, my sense of (slightly) crude humor and my deepest passions.
I’m calling these relationships long-distance friendships. And I’m also abashedly admitting that I suck at these now.
I was home last semester — it’s a story that I will be sharing with you all in a five-part series, starting on Mon-day — and I spent much of my time pouring into my friends’ lives. I asked questions, I listened, I advised — I was there for them. And they did the same for me. Even though we weren’t physi-cally together, we were in constant communication.
It’s not like that anymore. I’m busier, rarely available for lengthy phone calls or Skype sessions. Readjusting to life on campus, after being away during the fall, has completely consumed me.
These past few weeks have flown by, and I’m loving the adventure. But I also want to share in the trials and tri-umphs of my best (old) friends.
We all know that long-distance romances are hard, but did anyone tell us it would be this difficult to invest in our long-distance friendships?
Maybe I’m just the last one to find out. Despite the distance, there is beau-ty in the oldest — the best — friend-ships. To those people, we bring home new experiences and new life lessons.
There is something magical about that process, something that makes old relationships even stronger.
For most college students, we have no idea what will happen when we leave campus, but we do know we want to hold on to our friends dearly. Soon, our newer, collegiate relationships will turn into old friends. We will be sprin-kled across the globe, chasing dreams and making plans.
This, I’m learning, is how life works. We will always be acquiring new friendships — some are going to last just for a short season of life, while others are perennial.
A few days ago, I was talking to one of the Octos over Facebook Chat.
“I have completely failed at keeping up with your life,” I typed. “And I feel so awful for it.”
She gently reminded me of the roots of our friendship. It is strong enough to stay alive through the busy weeks and the slow weeks. No matter what happens during the semester, we come back home and reunite and everything is the same. We still love each other fiercely, the way only best friends can. And in this current, hectic season of life, that is one truth I can surely hold on to.

E"#$%&#'(EDITORIAL CARTOON JOHNIVAN DARBY THE DAILY ILLINI
LeBron James is the subject of much discussion these days. Nicknamed King James, he attracts the atten-
tion of a devoted legion of fans and awe-stricken media analysts — his loyal “subjects.“
The best basketball player on the planet right now, James is in the midst of another MVP-caliber season. Anointed “The Chosen One” as a junior in high school, LeBron displays breath-taking skill and athleticism, leading his team in points per game, rebounds and assists, all while playing every position on the court with ease.
Merely entering the “prime” of his career, LeBron has already won an NBA championship, an NBA Finals MVP award and three regular season NBA MVP awards.
Need I say more?Oh, right — I forgot to mention he
has two Olympic gold medals. These days, The King is vying to
defend his NBA title. He continues to work closely with his LeBron James Family Foundation, a charitable orga-nization that partners with the likes of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Ameri-ca. He’s even doing the Harlem Shake these days — a clear sign of the joy he surely has right now as an athlete and as a person.
Though it seems as if LeBron has the world at his fingertips, there are plenty of people who still root against him. Bothered by the idea of the King’s suc-cess, rebels are trying to overthrow his greatness, screaming from the moun-taintops that LeBron has a “tarnished legacy.” That he still isn’t “clutch.” That he took the “easy way out.” That he’ll never be as good as Michael Jordan.
Obviously anyone is entitled to his or her opinion; however, if you think his decision to leave the Cleveland Cava-liers to go to Miami and the associ-ated betrayal of his fans are justified reasons as to why he will never rank among the greats, or is the reason why you enjoy seeing him fail, then surely you are narrow-minded.
Accolades and contractual decisions alone do not define a player’s character. No matter how many titles and awards LeBron wins or how many teams he plays for, his legacy should not be judged completely by what he did in the NBA. If you are to judge his character and contribution to society, you need to look deeper. His family foundation gives back to the community, support-ing the Akron Public Schools and the Wheels for Education program, a pro-gram built on the fundamental value of every student getting an education. In fact, the degree to which he uses his influence as an international sports star has gained the admiration of NBA legend Magic Johnson, one of the most philanthropic figures in sports his-tory. Yeah, he’s having fun this year and sharing that joy with both team-mates and fans.
But, like I said, regardless of what LeBron does to positively impact the community, nay-sayers will contin-ue to wish for his downfall. While I agree the decision to leave his home-town may have been a bad PR move on his part, what he has done for the Boys and Girls Clubs and other organizations near his hometown in Ohio cannot be ignored. I also cannot defend LeBron after his comments following the Heat’s loss to the Mavs in the NBA finals, shamefully mock-ing people who would have to “wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today.” However, the frustration that led to that comment is perhaps the most human, authentic reaction any-one could have had; perhaps in an era that we chastise professional ath-letes for being too polished and fake, we should actually celebrate James’ comments as a glimpse into the raw human emotion he must have felt at that time.
The bottom line is that LeBron James is a person — and he will make mistakes along the way, just like every one of us. Though all of his actions can be summed up and left for individual judgment, I would rather cheer on success than scruti-nize every good and bad thing he con-tinues to do. Maybe we’d all be bet-ter served using sports as a vehicle to celebrate accomplishment rather than an outlet for our own frustra-tions and, therefore, “hating” certain teams and players.
The more athletic performances we cheer on and celebrate, the more we celebrate the joy of human expres-sion through sports. Hating teams in sports is rooted in misery wanting company, and that isn’t the company that I want to concern myself with. So for now, I’ll applaud as I watch the King make history.

L)$$)& $% $*) E"#$%&Criticism of I-Connect, ACE IT lacks a constructive edge
In response to Adam Smith’s “I-Con-nect, ACE IT half-hearted attempts to fix real problems” on Wednesday, I address two of many misguided assertions con-cerning the I-Connect Diversity and Inclusion Workshops. He makes a con-cerning point about his choice to join the Greek system as one of more than 6,000 fellow students who have “separat-ed” themselves from the student body.
Rather, 6,000 individuals like Smith are unified via the Greek system, pro-moting inclusion in togetherness. This same principle extends to RSOs, ser-vice, athletics and the like, which allow
individuals to express themselves, con-nect with others and share common interests in collaborative environments.
Joining Greek life is not an active decision to segregate oneself from oth-ers on our campus. It stems from the desire to establish mutual support, respect and belongingness among our communities. This is the message that I-Connect enthusiastically means to convey.
Concerning his issues with the work-shop design “sorely lacking in both style and substance”, I encourage Smith and all students to provide feedback to the program for improvement. I am a proud facilitator for I-Connect. We seek to cre-ate meaning for you. Feedback surveys are emailed to all participants in the
I-Connect program. These exist for an obvious reason. If Smith assumes there is little to be gained by provid-ing feedback to improve the workshop now that he has completed it, I invite him to reflect upon the effort invest-ed in publishing his complaints in The Daily Illini.
Smith’s readers form biases sur-rounding ACE IT and I-Connect, but they are not forming serious address-es to the administrators of these pro-grams who are dedicated to improving their quality.
Create change and allow others to help you implement change through-out our campus community.

E lections for the student senate ended Wednes-day at 11:59 p.m. Hope-fully the next group of elected representatives spend the Illinois Stu-
dent Senate budget better than the current senate has.
ISS receives $39,000 at the beginning of each year from student fees. In years past, ISS has had large surpluses. But this year, ISS spent 146 percent more than it did at this time last year. Unfortunately, the sen-ate is spending its money on promoting itself rather than on helping the student body.
The student government at this University is not respon-sible with its money. Rather than hoarding money as it has in the past, the student sen-ate is spending it irresponsi-bly. At its meeting Wednesday, Jim Maskeri, student senator and senior in LAS, said, “Any-thing we can do to better repre-sent our student constituents, I think we need to throw money at it.” The idea that our elect-ed representatives are throw-ing money at anything is unset-tling. Poor word choice aside, it is as if that’s what they’re doing anyhow.
The best ISS expenditure this year has been on the creation of the iClicker rental program, which was approved in March 2012. The senate purchased 200 iClickers for $8,000. Students may rent these iClickers for a semester for free. Although some people may say that 200 iClickers only affects 200 stu-dents, it’s refreshing to see the student senate trying to ease students’ financial burdens.
This year, ISS has spent exces-sive amounts of student money on self-promotion. The student senate spent about $9,000 on a public service announcement that contained a typo. At its meeting Wednesday, the student government approved a reso-lution that proposed spending $3,000 on a survey. The survey, which is supposed to run in con-junction with the senate’s Web page, will most likely use this money as incentives for students who participate in the survey. Spending $3,000 on prizes for a few individuals is a complete waste of funds.
Not everyone in student gov-ernment wants to spend thou-sands of dollars on self-pro-motion or surveys that will likely do nothing to improve ISS’ actions. Last year, former student body President David Pileski sponsored a resolution requesting $5,000 for prelimi-nary research on the engineer-ing design work for outdoor refillable water bottle stations. ISS voted this down, citing how this project would be too cost-ly. Even if the actual construc-tion of these stations would cost extra money, these water bot-tle stations would benefit the student body much more than advertisements about ISS or prizes for completing a survey.
The student senate needs to help the student body. Adver-tisements, surveys and food won’t make the student body aware of ISS’ presence; ISS’ presence will be noticed once it starts helping the student body. If the students don’t know what the ISS is, it’s because ISS isn’t doing enough for its constitu-ents. Keep the students in focus and pass resolutions that pro-vide for students.
It appears that Alma has stood up the Class of 2013.
Just as we were near the time of the most anticipated date of the year, Alma dug in her heels and decided to not make her grand appearance until some ambiguous day in the 2013-14 academic year.
What a tease.Instead of being the class that ush-
ered in the era of Alma Mater 2.0, 2013 graduates will shuffle their feet after the commencement ceremony at Assembly Hall, unsure of the go-to place for the iconic graduation photo.
But lucky we are, for we don’t attend too shabby a campus.
There are many other contestants for the perfect graduation photo. While the Class of 2013 could eas-ily be remembered as the one who was not sent off into the real world by the arms of Alma, it could also be the class that goes down in history as the one that got creative and empha-sized other picture-perfect places on campus.
How about we meet the contestants for perfect graduation photo?
Contestant #1: Semi-circle ledge in front of Foellinger Auditorium
You see it in all the promotion-al materials for the University, and especially on a sunny day in May with green grass and leafy trees and the Illini Union in the background,
this could easily become the hotspot to sport your cap-and-gown smiles.
Contestant #2: Altgeld HallFor you artsy graduates, you may
want to have someone get down on their knees and take a low angle shot of you with the Altgeld bell tower rising high above you. This photo is just ask-ing to be Instagrammed.
Contestant #3: The colonnades of Memorial Stadium
Whether you spent a lot of time playing or performing on the field in Memorial Stadium or cheering in the stands, a photo by the Doric columns that support the east and west sides of this stadium is a great way to remem-ber the Big Ten atmosphere of this campus. This can be an especially meaningful place for graduates who are veterans: Memorial Stadium was built in 1923 as a memorial to men and women who died in World War I.
Contestant #4: The Hallene Gateway on the corner of Lincoln and Illinois
This gateway serves as a symbolic entrance to the eastern part of campus (as well as the Alice Campbell Alumni Center and the Office of Undergradu-ate Admissions). It is made of pillars that used to be a part of University Hall, the first building on the Quad. The words “Learning and Labor” line the top of the gateway, which are also the names of the two statues that stand behind Alma. Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said there will be addition-al landscaping around this gateway, specifically for graduation photos.
Contestant #5: The granite block that Alma usually stands on
Chances are you already have a pho-to of yourself and a couple friends pos-ing as the statues, but now you could pose in your graduation gown. You could even invite your parents in to be Learning and Labor.
Contestant #6: The replicas of Alma that will be placed around campus
Currently being designed by the School of Art and Design, replicas of Alma with “different personalities” will be placed at various locations around campus. The success of this contestant depends on the quality of the design and the cheesy-level of the replicas.
As great as these contestants are, none of them can match the person-ality and reputation of Alma. No one is saying that it is not a big deal that Alma will not be here for graduation because it is a big deal. The Universi-ty should have planned for the chance that Alma would take longer than expected to fix and possibly have taken her away at the beginning of the sum-mer as opposed to late August.
But what’s done is done, and Alma will not be here for graduation.
So, embrace the other beautiful parts of this campus and the traditions and meanings that go with them.
Graduates, you are leaving campus with a degree from one of the best uni-versities in the country, and no statue can change that fact.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD
Ill. House proposes new limits on pensions
Survivors of Tucson shooting gather to support gun control
Environmentalists, oil industry agree on fracking regulations in Ill.
BY CRISTINA SILVATHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. — It was the place where former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords last spoke and walked without limitations, where Emily Nottingham’s son became the first Congressional aide to die in the line of duty, where a 9-year-old girl was gunned down while waiting to shake hands with a politician.
Survivors of the 2011 shoot-ing massacre that wounded 13 and killed six reunited for the first time Wednesday outside the Tucson shopping center where the horrific shooting occurred to deliver pleas for new gun controls.
Giffords, who is still recover-ing from her injuries, spoke for only a few seconds. She walked with her husband’s help and placed a white flower bouquet along a memorial outside the Safeway grocery store in honor of the shooting victims.
“Be bold. Be courageous,” Gif-fords said. “Please support back-ground checks.”
Giffords and Kelly had returned to the Safeway previ-ously to visit the memorial, but Wednesday marked their first public event at the store since the shooting. Sheriff’s deputies were there to provide security.
Shooting victims and families of the deceased gathered at the event, clutching bright, saffron-hued roses. Giffords gave some of them hugs.
At one point during the news conference, Giffords threw a victorious fist in the air and flashed a wide grin.
“Fight, fight, fight,” she said, recalling the words she tells her husband before her regular ther-apy sessions.
The sun-kissed gathering Wednesday was far from the horror that took place on a sim-ilar morning 26 months ago.
Emily Nottingham recalled that her son’s body was left on the sidewalk outside the super-market for hours as investiga-tors scrambled to make sense of the chaos. Her son Gabe Zim-merman, Gifford’s director of
community outreach, was 30 years old when he died in the shooting.
“It’s very hard to be here today,” Nottingham said. “The system is riddled with holes — bullet holes. It needs to be fixed.”
Susan Hileman described her excitement before the 2011 event as she waited to introduce her 9-year-old neighbor, aspir-ing politician Christina-Taylor Green, to Giffords. Green was the youngest of those killed.
“I looked at Gabby and I looked at Christina, and I could only imagine the sparks that would fly when the two of them got to shake hands. It was really going to be something,” Hileman said, before her voice turned dark. “It really was something, wasn’t it?”
Jared Lee Loughner, 24, was sentenced in November to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, in the Tucson shoot-ing. The rampage happened at a meet-and-greet event organized by Giffords outside the grocery store on Jan. 8, 2011.

CHICAGO — After years of clashing over the drilling meth-od known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” the oil industry and environmentalists have achieved something extraordinary in Illi-nois: They sat down together to draft regulations both sides could live with.
If approved by lawmakers, par-ticipants say, the rules would be the nation’s strictest. The Illinois model might also offer a template to other states seeking to carve out a middle ground between energy companies that would like free rein and environmental groups that want to ban the prac-tice entirely.
“The fact that Illinois got there” was significant, said Brian Petty, executive vice president of gov-ernmental and regulatory affairs at the International Association of Drilling Contractors. “Anytime you can bring the lion and lamb to the table, it’s a good thing. But it’s so highly politicized in lot of places” that compromise could be difficult.
Fracking uses a high-pres-sure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to crack and hold open thick rock formations, releasing trapped oil and gas. Combined with horizontal drilling, it allows access to formerly out-of-reach deposits and has allowed drillers to move closer to populated areas.
The industry insists the meth-od is safe and would create thou-sands of jobs — possibly 40,000 in the poorest area of Illinois,
according to one study. Opponents say it causes water and air pol-lution and permanently depletes freshwater resources.
In New York, where a frack-ing moratorium is in effect until a health study is completed, one activist said Illinois environmen-talists caved in when they should have pushed harder to block fracking.
“I was just appalled at this col-laboration ... to create these regu-lations based on the false premise that fracking is inevitable,” said Sandra Steingraber, an Illinois native and founder of New York-ers Against Fracking, a group whose champions include actor Mark Ruffalo and singer Natalie
Merchant. “It was not their job to help pave the way for fracking to move into Illinois. It was to pro-tect the environment.”
But Michigan’s largest environ-mental coalition might be will-ing to take a cue from Illinois if lawmakers decide that fracking should be part of Michigan’s ener-gy mix.
“We would love to see that kind of bipartisan cooperation,” said Hugh McDiarmid, spokesman for the Michigan Environmental Council. The Illinois bill “has a lot of good ideas and a lot of things ... that mirror what we’re trying to achieve in Michigan” because stopping or banning fracking would be unrealistic.

SPRINGFIELD — A day after Gov. Pat Quinn upbraid-ed lawmakers for inaction on the state’s multibillion-dollar pension mess, House members found a proposal they could get behind, backing a measure to limit the salary on which a pub-lic employee’s retirement ben-efits could be based.
The measure — part of a lead-ing proposal to bail Illinois out of its $96.7 billion pension crisis — was presented as a test vote Thursday as lawmakers contin-ue to feel their way toward a universally agreeable solution.
Two Republicans joined Dem-ocrats in the 65-7 vote in favor of the amendment, which would cap the salary that pension ben-efits are based on at the limit set for Social Security, current-ly $113,000 a year. Supporters say it could save Illinois $1 bil-lion a year.
Another 43 Republicans didn’t vote, in protest of the process.
Quinn on Wednesday blamed legislators’ inaction on the pen-sion problem for what he called “the most difficult budget Illi-nois has ever faced.”
His $62.4 billion spending blueprint cuts $400 million from public education and pro-poses changing state law to slice
$241 million from what other-wise are statutorily required payments to programs, servic-es and research.
The pension cap, part of a larger measure sponsored by Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a North-brook Democrat, and House Republican Leader Tom Cross of Oswego, would apply only to current employees who have not yet reached that salary level. Anyone already earning $113,000 or more per year would still be eligible to receive a pen-sion based on the higher salary.
A House committee is like-ly to consider the full bill next week, said Cross spokeswoman Sara Wojcicki Jimenez.

Mars rover Curiosity discontinues exploration after solar flare activity
Fired up about coal concerns
BY ALICIA CHANGTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Curiosity hunkered down after the sun unleashed a blast that raced toward Mars.
While the hardy rover was designed to withstand punish-ing space weather, its handlers decided to power it down as a precaution since it suffered a recent computer problem.
“We’re being more careful,” project manager Richard Cook of the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab-oratory said Wednesday.
While Curiosity slept, the Opportunity rover and two NASA spacecraft circling over-head carried on with normal activities.
On Tuesday, scientists noticed a huge flare erupting from the sun that hurled a stream of radiation in Mars’ direction. The solar burst also spawned a cloud of superheated gas that barreled toward the red planet at 2 million mph.
The eruption did not appear severe or extreme, but “middle of the road, all things consid-ered” said space weather chief Bob Rutledge at the Nation-al Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The solar tempest was not expected to have an impact on Earth. In the past, such out-bursts have triggered solar storms with the ability to dis-rupt utility grids, airline flights, satellite networks and GPS ser-vices. They’re also known to produce shimmering auroras in places farther from the poles.
Since Mars lacks a planet-wide magnetic field, it does not experience geomagnetic storms. Rather, the planet sees a spike in radiation, Rutledge said.
Powerful solar blasts can cause trouble to Mars space-craft. In 2003, an intense solar flare knocked out the radiation detector on the Odyssey orbiter.
NASA does not expect simi-lar drama from the latest solar activity.
In the worst-case scenar-io, one or more of the work-ing Mars spacecraft may enter “safe mode” in which science activities are halted but they remain in contact with Earth.
“We’ll be watching and see-ing what happens,” said Roger Gibbs, JPL deputy manager for the Mars exploration program.
The unsettled space weather comes as Curiosity is recover-ing from a memory hiccup that put its science experiments on hold. It was the first major problem to hit the car-size rov-er since it landed last year in an ancient crater near the Martian equator to hunt for the chemical building blocks of life.
Engineers were in the middle of troubleshooting when they decided to wait for the weath-er to pass. The delay means it will take longer for Curiosity to return to analyzing the pinch of rock powder it collected from a recent drilling.
Since its instruments are turned off, it can’t use its radi-ation sensor to track the solar particles.
“It’s just bad timing,” Cook said.

Security Council OKs sanctions against N. Korea
Federal law grants Native American tribes power to prosecute non-Native Americans

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council respond-ed swiftly to North Korea’s lat-est nuclear test by punishing the reclusive regime Thursday with tough, new sanctions targeting its economy and leadership, despite Pyongyang’s threat of a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the United States.
The penalties came in a unanimous resolution drafted by the U.S. along with China, which is North Korea’s main benefactor. Beijing said the focus now should be to “defuse the tensions” by restarting negotiations.
The resolution sent a power-ful message to North Korea’s new young leader, Kim Jong Un, that the international com-munity condemns his defiance
of Security Council bans on nuclear and ballistic tests and is prepared to take even tougher action if he continues flouting international obligations.
“Taken together, these sanc-tions will bite, and bite hard,” U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said. “They increase North Korea’s isolation and raise the cost to North Korea’s leaders of defying the international community.”
The new sanctions came in response to North Korea’s underground nuclear test on Feb. 12 and were the fourth set imposed by the U.N. since the country’s first test in 2006. They are aimed at reining in Pyongyang’s nuclear and mis-sile development by requiring all countries to freeze finan-cial transactions or services that could contribute to the programs.
North Korea kept up its war-like rhetoric Friday after the U.N. vote, issuing a statement saying it was canceling a hotline and a non-aggression pact with rival South Korea.
North Korea’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, the country’s arm for deal-ing with cross-border affairs with Seoul, said it will retaliate with
“crushing strikes” if enemies intrude into its territory “even an inch and fire even a single shell.” It also said it was voiding past nuclear disarmament agreements between North and South Korea.
South and North Korea agreed in a 1992 joint declaration not to produce, test or use nuclear weap-ons. North Korea has since con-ducted three nuclear tests.
The resolution also targets North Korea’s ruling elite by banning all nations from export-ing expensive jewelry, yachts, luxury automobiles and race cars to the North.
It also imposes new travel sanctions that would require countries to expel agents work-ing for sanctioned North Korean companies.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Amer-ican Indian tribes have tried everything from banishment to charging criminal acts as civil offenses to deal with non-Indians who commit crimes on reservations.
Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1978 that tribal courts lack criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians, tribes have had to get creative in trying to hold that population accountable.
They acknowledge, though, that those approaches aren’t much of a deterrent, and say most crimes committed by non-Indians on tribal land go unpunished.
Tribal leaders are hoping that will change, at least in part, with a federal bill signed into law Thursday. The measure gives tribes the authority to prosecute non-Indians for a set of crimes limited to domestic violence and violations of protecting orders.
Implementation of the Vio-lence Against Women Act will
take time as tribes amend their legal codes and ensure defen-dants receive the same rights offered in state and federal courts. But proponents say it’s a huge step forward in the face of high rates of domestic violence with no prosecution.
“For a tribal nation, it’s just absurd that (authority) doesn’t exist,” said Sheri Freemont, director of the Family Advoca-cy Center on the Salt River Pima Maricopa reservation in Ari-zona. “People choose to either
work, live or play in Indian Country. I think they should be subject to Indian Country rules.”
Native American women suf-fer incidents of domestic vio-lence at rates more than dou-ble national averages. But more than half of cases involving non-Indians go unprosecut-ed because Indian courts have lacked jurisdiction and because federal prosecutors often have too few resources to try cases on isolated reservations.
Still, the tribal courts provi-
sion was a major point of con-tention in Congress, with some Republicans arguing that sub-jecting non-Indians to Indian courts was unconstitutional.
The U.S. Department of Jus-tice met with tribal leaders Wednesday to discuss imple-menting the provisions, which will take effect two years after the law is enacted. A pilot proj-ect would allow any tribe that believes it has met the require-ments to request an earlier start date.

Glenn Foster had trouble sleep-ing Wednesday night, but it didn’t affect him much Thursday morning when he took to Irwin Indoor Prac-tice Facility for Illinois’ Pro Timing Day. Foster impressed scouts and media alike with his 29 reps bench-pressing 225 pounds and unofficial-ly running the 40-yard dash in 4.79 seconds.
Foster was among some two-doz-en NFL hopefuls who participated in Pro Day, the majority of whom were former Illini. Players took part in
strength and agility drills, includ-ing the bench press and 40-yard dash, along with position drills. Every drill was performed under the watchful eyes of 39 NFL scouts representing 18 teams.
But the evaluation didn’t end on the field. Many of the scouts con-ducted one-on-one interviews with players after workouts. Foster spent more than an hour taking a psycho-logical and personality exam for one scout after workouts were complete and the building had emptied.
“I was prepared mentally before this,” Foster said. “I was very
focused and calm and confident with what I was able to do. I turned some heads. So I think I made a statement today.”
The former defensive end-turned-defensive tackle was not among the four Illini invited to February’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapo-lis. But as fellow defensive tackle Akeem Spence pointed out, the draft boards and mock drafts don’t mat-ter much on draft day.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — Entering halftime with a double-digit lead, it seemed as if the Illi-nois women’s basketball team was well on its way to advanc-ing into the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. But that wasn’t the case.
Despite late-game heroics from junior guard Amber Moore and a late 13-0 spurt,No. 6-seed-
ed Illinois (16-13) couldn’t fin-ish off No. 11-seeded Wisconsin (12-18) in a 58-57 loss in the first round of the Big Ten Tourna-ment on Thursday.
“Wisconsin became the most aggressive in the second half,” Illinois head coach Matt Bol-lant said. “First half I thought we did a great job of weathering the storm with Karisma (Penn)

M arch Movie Madness isn’t your regular bracket. Words can’t even begin to explain
Selection Sunday. Yes, that’s a cliche, but I’m finally in the posi-tion where I get to vent my feel-ings about a sporting event. So let the overused cliches begin.
It wasn’t easy, but we fought it out until the end. Every one of these contenders has poten-tial, possibility and motivational speeches. Every movie gave it 110 percent, but some, they just wanted it more. All we can do is take this one round at a time.
And so we begin with Selection Sunday.
The scene begins at Legends, with three individuals hidden in a corner booth amidst scores of beer-guzzling Blackhawks fans. We were at Legends because we work for The Daily Illini and that’s where we go. We were hungover because we are college students. It was Unofficial week-end, and we are journalists. We were on a time crunch for rea-sons previously mentioned. If you need anything else spelled out for you, hit up my pager.
The selection committee con-sisted of three of the most quali-fied people on The Daily Illini sports staff: myself — gradu-ate student, genius and 22-year-
old heartthrob; esteemed sports editor and token white male Jeff Kirshman; and the biggest mov-ie nerd who goes to this school, Editor-in-Chief Samantha Kie-sel. We were chosen based on seniority, knowledge and good looks.
You won’t even begin to believe the drama, the death threats and the yelling that went on. This is why we were at a bar. It ain’t easy, determining a field of the top-32 sports movies of all time. (Disclaimer: This was an impossibly subjective undertaking in which there
was no one true right answer. Make your own bracket if you’d like, vote in our Facebook poll, comment and com-plain — or sing our praises. Bring it on.)
This bracket was chosen through intense methodology, formulated point selection and standards stricter than a mili-tary regime. OK, that’s a load of rubbish. But we did have standards. It had to be a fea-

Illinois women’s basketball relies on its seniorsThe Illinois women’s basketball team has lived and died by its seniors this season. For the most part, Karisma Penn, a first-team All-Big Ten selection, and Adrienne GodBold, Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, have led the Illini to success. The seniors were less effective during Thursday’s upset No. 11-seeded Wisconsin, contributing to Illinois’ 58-57 loss.

22 Karisma Penn played 22 minutes before fouling out with 3.1 seconds left. The first-team All-Big Ten selection was on the bench for almost half the game, leaving the Illini without a true forward.
8 Penn scored eight points for the Illini, 11 below her season average. Penn was only held in single figures in scoring once during the regular season.
4 Penn grabbed just four rebounds, six below her season average. Overall, the Illini were outrebounded 41-29, and the lack of Penn’s presence contributed greatly to the Badgers’ success.
0 GodBold recorded zero steals in the loss. The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year averaged 3.6 steals per game in Big Ten play but was unable to come up with any against the Badgers.
25% GodBold went 4-for-16 from the field Thurday. The senior shot 43 percent on the season but struggled to even find the rim on many of her shots.
12 GodBold finished with 12 points for Illinois, five below her season average. The senior was able to score in double digits but was inefficient, shooting 25 percent, including 0-for-3 on 3-pointers.

Illinois men’s basketball trav-els to Columbus, Ohio, on Sun-day for the regular-season fina-le against No. 14 Ohio State. A tumultuous Big Ten season has yielded a logjam in the standings and, consequently, placed a spe-cial importance on the final week-end of conference play. Both the Illini and Buckeyes have much at stake for conference standings and seeding at the Big Ten Tour-nament. Here’s a preview of the crucial match-up.
What’s at stake for IllinoisWith a win and losses from Iowa
and Minnesota, Illinois receives a No. 6 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
With a win and wins from Iowa and Minnesota, by virtue of a tiebreaker, Illinois receives a No. 8 seed.
With a win and an Iowa win and a Minnesota loss, Illinois receives a No. 7 seed.
With a loss and losses from Iowa and Minnesota, Illinois receives No. 8 seed over Minnesota via a tiebreaker.
What’s at stake for Ohio StateWith a win, two Indiana losses
and wins from Michigan State and Wisconsin, Ohio State earns the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
No scenario involves Ohio State finishing as a fifth seed or lower. All other scenarios involve the Buckeyes finishing with between No. 2 and No. 4 seeds.

in foul trouble. We just needed to step up and play aggressively in the second half, and we didn’t.”
The old adage goes “basketball is a game of runs”. In the last six minutes of Thursday’s game, Illi-nois and Wisconsin proved why.
After trailing by its largest deficit of the game at 54-44 with 5:59 remaining,Illinois charged on an 8-0 run behind back-to-back 3-point plays.Sophomore guard Taylor Tuck ignited the Illini run with a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to five points. On the following offen-sive possession, sophomore guard Ivory Crawford,who led Illinois with 14 points, scored an and-one layup to bring the score within one possession at 54-52 with 3:34 remaining in the contest.
At the 1:23 mark, Moore, who scored 13 points,received the ball near the left wing and crossed over her defender while pulling up for a jump shot. The junior guard was fouled on the attempt, putting her on the line for two potential game-tying free-throws. Moore knocked the pair and in the process tied that game at 54.After a steal by Crawford on the other end, Illinois brought the ball up looking to wind down the clock before attempting a possible go-ahead shot.
Moore would receive the ball again on the left wing, but instead of pulling up for a two-point shot, she attempted her patented 3-point shot.
Swish.“It was just confidence,” Moore
said. “My teammates were getting me the ball and I was knocking down shots.”
“I just felt like I was breathing life after that shot,” senior guard Adrienne Godbold said. “I was sort of holding my breath on a couple of plays, and when she made that shot I’m like: ‘Oh yeah, we good, we straight.’ I felt good, I felt like I made the shot.”
The 3-pointer capped off a 13-0 Illinois run to give the Illini a 57-54 lead with 42 seconds left.
That is when everything that could go wrong went wrong for Illinois.
Before the ball was even inbounded after Moore’s shot, sophomore guard Alexis Smith committed a foul on freshman guard Tessa Cichy while getting into the press. Cichy would make both of her free throws to cut Illi-nois’ lead to 57-56 with 42 seconds remaining.
After the senior forward Penn, who sat most of the game with foul trouble, missed a jumper, Wiscon-sin took a timeout with 10 seconds left in the game.
The play called out of the time-out put the ball in the hands of junior guard Morgan Paige,despite her 3-for-16 shooting in the game. Paige drove fearlessly at first-team Big Ten performer Penn and drew a shooting foul,her fifth and final foul of the game. Paige’s two free throws gave Wisconsin a one-point lead with 3.1 seconds remaining.
After an ill-advised half-court heave by Moore missed at the buzzer as Bollant was trying to call a timeout,Illinois fell to a Wis-consin team it had beaten twice earlier in the season.After holding Wisconsin to 26.1 percent shooting in the first half,Illinois allowed the Badgers to make half of its field-goal attempts in the second half.
“It just didn’t end how we want-ed,” Crawford said. “That’s all.”
As a result, Illinois’ NCAA tour-nament hopes may have ended as well. Before Thursday’s game, ESPN’s Charlie Creme had Illinois as one of his first four teams out. With the loss, the Women’s NIT seems more than likely. Despite the three-game losing streak to end the season, Bollant hasn’t giv-en up on the NCAA tournament.
“Your quality wins is what gets you into the NCAA tournament. We have six wins in the top 50. Bol-lant said.” “(For) us to finish tied for fifth in the in the conference, to me, we should be in because of the quality wins.”
For now, Illinois can only wait.

ture sports movie, none of that made-for-TV hogwash. Sorry, “Brink.” There were no docu-mentaries — apologies, “30 for 30” and “Hoop Dreams.” And there were no non-sports mov-ies just with sports stars act-ing — not sorry I’m not sorry, “Kazaam.” #Shaqiswhack
I now feel a huge amount of empathy and solidarity with all of those winners (or los-ers) who have the privilege (or curse) of being a member of a real selection committee. I hate to be that person who says, “There’s just so many good sports movies out there and they all gave it their all and these are very tough deci-sions to make. I wish we could have included everyone.” But it’s true.
I fought for a 64-movie pool, and I failed. It happens, but there’s no crying in March Movie Madness.
Let’s be real: Some feature presentations don’t deserve to be on here. There’s all those girls pretending to be guys to
play a sport — cough, “Juwan-na Mann,” “She’s the Man,” cough. There’s all those movies with animals playing sports. Don’t worry we’ll have a lat-er bracket for the “Air Bud” series. And movies that are so bad they’re good, but they’re not really good — “Stick It,” “Blades of Glory,” etc.
For the record, none of my 500 guilty pleasures are in this bracket. Can someone please explain that to me? And no, “Space Jam” is not a guilty pleasure. It’s just proof that I’m a human being with a soul — an instant classic that will stand the test of time.
I would like to apologize to my dad — and every other mid-dle-aged male — for neither version of “The Longest Yard” making it on this bracket. Kids these days just don’t under-stand what’s important in life.
To the cheerleaders from “Bring It On,” thanks for being here and supporting us and having our back during the entire selection process. Let’s face it, cheerleading is not a sport. And if you want to go anywhere in life, you should come up with some bet-
ter cheers than ”Brr, it’s cold in here.”
To the boxing movies that didn’t make it, there’s simply too many good movies about boxing. To “Happy Gilmore,” “Caddyshack” is better. To San-dra Bullock and “The Blind Side,” blame Jeff.
If you complain about “Pat and Mike” being in this brack-et, you should show some respect for women and watch the freaking movie. If you don’t support “Cool Runnings” and “Sandlot,” you don’t understand our generation. If you haven’t seen any of the No. 1 seeds, go watch them and talk to me later.
If you haven’t seen all 32 movies, congratulations, I guess you have a life. If you think this is obnoxious, we went big or went home. If you don’t care about this, it is what it is. If you have a better brack-et idea, we’re taking this one bracket at a time.

the second round,” Spence said. “So you can’t really pay atten-tion to it.”
Wilson, a former Illini defen-sive back, was selected by the Patriots with the 48th over-all pick in last year’s draft and went on to see significant playing time for Bill Belichick’s defense. Another former Illini, Jack Cor-nell, was in attendance. He went undrafted last year and signed as a free agent offensive line-man with the Ravens. Cornell didn’t see much time on the field in 2012, but his Ravens defeat-ed Wilson’s Patriots en route to a Super Bowl championship.
Cornell said the best advice he could give his former Illini team-mates aspiring to succeed at the next level is to keep working hard because the life of an NFL player is a never-ending process.
“This is just the beginning for all of these guys,” Cornell said.
“The guys who want to take a little break after (Pro Day) and take some time off, it’s going to come back and bite them in the future. There’s no rest for the wicked, and there’s a lot of wick-ed dudes in the NFL.”
The four Illini who were invit-ed to the Combine — Spence, defensive end Michael Buchan-an, defensive back Terry Haw-thorne and offensive lineman Hugh Thornton — did not partic-ipate in all of the strength and agility drills. Each participated in his respective position drills.
Draft preparation is grueling both physically and mentally for players, and Thornton said he thinks the process is 95 percent mental.
“Physically, we’ve been doing this stuff since we’ve been play-ing football,” he said. “So it’s really not that different from an everyday workout. It’s just, now there’s a lot more on the line.”
Thornton went as far as to liken the interview process to poking cattle with a prod. He
did acknowledge that having the previous three months to focus on working out and eating right was a welcomed treat.
Foster wasn’t the only Illi-ni who had scouts and media buzzing. Former Illinois cor-nerback Justin Green turned heads, running an unofficial 4.40 40-yard dash. Foster and defensive backs Ashante Wil-liams and Justin Green high-lighted the vertical jump, leap-ing 39.5, 38.5 and 36.5 inches, respectively.
Foster was pleasantly sur-prised by his 10.9-foot long jump but considered the rest of his results average compared with what he had been attain-ing in workouts. After train-ing in Florida for the last few months, he now hopes to hear from NFL teams about person-al workouts. Until then, he will remain in Champaign and, hope-fully, get a little more sleep.

Illinois head coach Justin Spring is trying to change 100 years of NCAA men’s gymnastics.
Spring proposed the new head-to-head format to the NCAA the day before team finals at last sea-son’s NCAA Championships. His hope was to gain interest from coaches across the country and get the approval to run a tri-al meet. Conquering both goals allowed a trial meet to be sched-uled for Friday night at Huff Hall against Minnesota.
“When audience members feel the need to bring a calculator to follow the progression of our competitions, we have a serious problem,” Spring said. “That is what we are trying to get rid of.”
The new format will place both teams on the same event at the same time. A team member from Minnesota will compete on the event, immedi-ately followed by a member of the Illini. Who-ever receives the h igh-er score will earn a single point for their team. The audi-ence will no longer be told what scores were given, only who won the head-to-head match. Spring chose Minnesota as the competi-tor for the trial run meet because of the enthusiasm from its coach.
“Mike Burns is the head of
our collegiate gymnastics asso-ciation,” he said. “I spent a lot of time talking with him, and he is all about it. He is one of the most passionate ones aside from myself ... and he loves it. We’ve been in communication all along, kind of been building up to this point and we are both very excit-ed about it.”
After the five-up, five-count format change last weekend, the Illini had to change their practice routine again in preparation for this weekend’s changes.
“We ran our practices just as the meet would be,” Spring said. “(Assistant head coach Daniel Ribeiro) wrote up an equation in an excel spread sheet with the outline of the Minnesota guys expected lineups, attributing scores to a 10 percent chance
of a fall and he hits this func-tion, which spits out a ran-dom score that is about right. Our guys did not have a good day in the gym, so in our simu-lation Minneso-ta beat us.”
One of the most difficult things the new format propos-es is sponta-
neity. There are no set-in-stone lineups. Each team will put up the gymnast with the most poten-tial to win against the competi-tor. This has been a struggle for the Illini during the simulation practice.
“The new format has a lot more of being ready on the go,” sopho-more Josh Wilson said. “You nev-er know who’s going to go next because when the other person throws up someone, then you have to throw up who you think will be able to beat them by the smallest margin because you don’t want to waste your best guys on the easiest competitors. You have to be ready on the fly.”
Spring’s passion for the new for-mat has flooded over to the Illini.
“It’s added a lot of conversations to our team talks in the beginning of our practice,” freshman Joey Peters said. “He just goes on and on about how awesome this new system is. We are trying to change gymnastics for the public because what’s going on right now isn’t working.”
The meet will be recorded by the Big Ten Network to attract viewers around the country. This will be the first step in changing men’s gymnastics, but no definite decisions will rest on the outcome of the meet.
“If this isn’t what people want, then back to the drawing board,” Spring said. “At least we are mov-ing into some direction of making our sport more appealing to the average fan. I think we need to do that. It’s not the 1960s anymore where gymnastics was all power-ful. We need to make some chang-es and we need to be progressive. If it’s this, and we all think it is, then great and I’m going to push for it. I hope some change comes from this.”

After becoming a Big Ten champion a season ago, 197-pound Mario Gonzalez will look to defend his title when the Illini wrestling team hosts the Big Ten Cham-pionships at Assembly Hall on March 9-10.
“I know what I have do to win,” Gonza-lez said. “Last year, I went out there and let myself go and let loose and good things happened and I won.”
The No. 12 Illini have four wrestlers seeded in the top-five of their respective weight class-es. Senior Conrad Polz holds the highest seed for Illinois at No. 2 in the 165-pound weight class, as he finished the regular season with a 20-5 overall record, win-ning seven of his eight Big Ten dual matches.
Seven other Illini received pre-seeds, including Gonzalez and 125-pound Jesse Delgado, who both grabbed three seeds in
their respective weight classes. Daryl Thomas, who wrestles at 133 pounds, holds the fifth seed, while 174-pound Jordan Blan-ton and 184-pound Tony Dallago are seeded sixth in their weight
classes. Caleb Ervin earned the No. 7 seed at 149 pounds, while Chris Lopez is seed-ed No. 11 at heavyweight.
“ S e e d i ngs can help as far as mak-ing the tourna-ment easier,” Polz said. “In the end, you’re gonna wrestle who you’re gon-
na wrestle and the competition is just great all the way through. I don’t think of it that way, I just sort of have a job to do and get to the finals and hopefully I can win that match too.”
With five out of the top-10 wres-tling squads in the nation, the Big Ten is easily the toughest in the nation. The Illini have already wrestled six of the top-10 teams in the country this season.
The Illini, who have not wres-tled at full-strength through-
out conference play, will still be without senior heavyweight Pat Walker and two-time All-Amer-ican B.J. Futrell. Despite these injuries, holding the tournament in Champaign may contribute to the Illini’s success this weekend. Assembly Hall will host the tour-nament for the first time since 2002.
“Most of these guys are from Illinois, they wrestled in the state tournament here and that’s a big deal,” head coach Jim Heffernan said. “It’s good that we’re on our own campus. I think it’s some-thing we have been looking for-ward to and I expect them to wrestle hard and compete at their best.”
Delgado has a good shot to cap-ture the 125-pound title. The Gil-roy, Calif., native recorded a 6-1 Big Ten record this season, with his only loss coming to the hands of No. 2-seed Nico Megaludis of Penn State. Delgado defeated the top-seeded Matt McDonough of Iowa earlier in the season, break-ing his 42 consecutive match-winning streak.
“We’ve seen everybody,” Del-gado said. “We know what to expect.”
