Champaign kicked off its spring 2010 round of Community Emergency Response Team , or CERT, training Friday.

The program, which has run for the past fi ve years every fall and spring, consists of a series of fi ve classes that train local citizens to assess and tackle disastrous situations in their community, said Susan Wyatt , secretary for the Champaign Fire Department.

“CERT is a grassroots movement that involves everyone in making the community safer,” Wyatt said. “People attending the class will be taught how to prepare for disasters and emergencies before they happen.”

Wyatt said such preparations include how to reduce fi re hazards at work and home, how to extinguish small fi res, how to conduct a search and rescue, how to set up medical treatment areas, and how to apply basic medical treatment techniques.

Students of CERT must attend all fi ve training sessions to be certifi ed .

Nearly 15 years after the last class graduated, the Universi-ty has revived the Bachelor of Social Work, or BSW, program for the fall semester.

After an application peri-od ending Feb. 1, the School of Social Work admitted 50 students into its undergradu-ate program — the fi rst group

entering since the graduating class of 1995.

“The program was brought back because of demand from the campus,” said Brenda Lind-sey, BSW program director . “Students continued to show an interest in social work, and some were forced to pursue oth-er majors, only to later enter the master’s degree program.”

Because the fi rst class in the resurrected program is set to graduate in 2012, many appli-cants transferring into it have spent their fi rst years at the Uni-versity in other areas of study.

“I was originally a pre-teach-er education major, but once I started taking the courses, I realized I hated it,” said Mallo-ry Gamer, sophomore accepted into the BSW program. “I real-ized I wanted to do something that was more focused on help-ing people.”

Lindsey said some students remained in the Division of General Studies until the BSW degree had been reintroduced.

“Most applicants for the new program came from DGS,” Lind-

The Activities and Recreation Center, or ARC , hosted the fourth annual Latino Youth Conference on Friday , bringing in Latino high school students from the Cham-paign-Urbana area as well as from neighboring towns.

The event was sponsored by La Casa Cultural Latina, University Housing, and the Offi ce of the Vice Chancellor for Public Engage-ment, among others. At the con-ference, high school students from Danville , Rantoul , Arcola , Urbana

and Champaign congregated for the day’s events. The conference featured a short fi lm and held lec-tures and workshops.

Sheila Adele Lozano , director of La Casa and main organizer of the event, said the goal of the confer-ence was to reach out to the grow-ing Latino youth in the region.

“The University of Illinois focuses a lot of their time in the Chicagoland area and the St. Louis area but not a lot in the local com-munity,” Lozano said. “There was a gap when trying to connect to local Latino youth.”

She said she hopes the gap will shrink by promoting higher education among Latinos, often underrepresented on college cam-puses. Lozano added that the has-sles of admission, fi nancial aid and adjusting to a new lifestyle are reasons Latino students may feel intimidated by college.

Jonathan Brito , sophomore in LAS, added that this conference is a great opportunity to learn about attending college.

“Some of the students come

Friday evening, as Rich Whit-ney sipped his vodka martini – dirty on the rocks – he dis-cussed why his plan to fi x the Illinois economy – shaken on the rocks – is better than any pro-posal offered by a Democrat or a Republican.

As the Illinois Green Party candidate for governor, Whit-ney met with members of the Prairie Greens, the Green Par-ty of East Central Illinois, last week .

The meeting, which was less formal than its monthly meet-ings at the Independent Media Center in Urbana, was an exam-ple of the presence of one of the smaller political parties in the Champaign-Urbana area.

Tom Abram, press offi cer for the Prairie Greens and Univer-sity alumnus, said local partic-ipation is modest, with 500 to 600 people on the group’s mail-ing list.

The Prairie Greens was found-ed in 2000 to help Ralph Nader’s presidential campaign.

Abram said the group’s appeal is diverse, with stances that agree with some progressives, moderate conservatives and the

members of Campus Greens, a Registered Student Organiza-tion that focuses on environ-mental issues.

“Right now, in the state, the biggest issue is the budget and the economy,” Abram said.

“Even if there’s money allocat-ed in the budget, it doesn’t end up getting to (the University).”

According to the Offi ce for Planning and Budgeting, the state owes the University $464 million of the $717 million allo-cated for fi scal year 2010 as of March 31.

Whitney said student involve-ment in the Green Party, though sporadic, can help infl uence elections. But students are only in the campus environment for so long.

One way the Green Party stands apart from the two main parties is its denial of any cam-paign contributions from cor-porations and other businesses. Some say this policy helps cut down the infl uence that mon-ey could have on a candidate’s political positions.

“We believe we have better ideas than the two corporate parties,” said Charlie Howe of Carbondale , the Green Party’s candidate for district 115 in the

Illinois House. Like the two main parties, the

Greens are concerned about the state budget and education.

But as a third party in Illinois, they also face challenges that make it diffi cult to have a strong voice in statewide politics.

Illinois policy requires that non-established parties get more signatures in order to get a candidate on the ballot.

In 2006, the Green Party became an established par-ty in Illinois when Whitney received over 10 percent of the votes for governor – fi ve percent more than the state requires in order to become an established party.

As an established party this election cycle, it needs only 5,000 signatures in 90 days to get statewide candidates on the ballot, instead of the 25,000 that non-established parties need .

Although Abram said he is confi dent Whitney will receive 5 percent of the vote this Novem-ber, he said if he does not, the party would return to its small-er party status.

In Champaign County, Whit-ney received more than the

John Wiencek , sophomore in DGS, shaved his head two years ago in high school to support the St. Bal-drick’s Foundation. Since coming to the University, he noticed no one held any St. Baldrick’s events here on campus, and he decided to change that.

“If there was an event down here, I would have signed up and had my head shaven right away. But when I looked into it, I found out there wasn’t an event down here,” Wiencek said. “So I thought I would just go ahead and start one myself.”

The University’s St. Baldrick’s event started at 5 p.m. on Sunday outside Garner Hall in Ikenberry Commons. Local barbers volun-teered their evenings to shave the heads of participants. Wiencek said there was no limit to the number of

participants they would accept.The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a

pun on the name St. Patrick’s, was started 10 years ago by a group of three friends who decided to turn their company’s St. Patrick’s Day party into a benefi t for children with cancer, according to its Web site . Since then, the foundation has become the second largest funder of childhood cancer research grants , raising over $74 million since it started.

Wiencek said he sought the help of local companies to bring the event to Campustown.

David Denzer , owner of Dave’s Campus Barber Shop, 509 E. Green Street , volunteered his time to help.

“I wanted to be a part of helping raise money to help kids with can-cer,” Denzer said. “I don’t know how long I’ll be here, but I wouldn’t mind

if I had to be here when it’s dark.”Although some volunteers decid-

ed to shave their heads just to sup-port the cause, others had personal reasons.

“My dad beat cancer,” said Nick Rigoni, sophomore in LAS. “Shav-ing your head is a pretty easy thing to do to support this cause, because your hair does grow back.”

To help publicize the event, Wiencek dyed his hair green.

“Dying my hair was a great way to publicize the event,” he said. “I also wanted to do something fun to show I care.”

As of 5:30 p.m., more than 24 people volunteered to have their heads shaven, according to volun-teer Stacey Ceretti , freshman in Engineering.

“So far we raised over $3,000 for the cause,” she said. “And we expect that number to grow.”

sey said. “Many were interested in a helping profession, but we just didn’t have the bachelor’s program in place.”

Raya Parente, another sopho-more accepted into the program, said it was appealing because it offers her a faster path into the social work profession.

“I plan on getting a master’s

in social work,” Parente said. “I’d like to stay at U of I because they offer a one-year program for BSW grads.”

Parente said she started out in Psychology but was turned off by the required schooling and approaches to treating patients.

“Psychology is more research, and I heard someone with a mas-ter’s in social work can make as much as a Ph.D. in Psych,” Par-ente said. “Most of all, I want to

be more helpful and really work with people instead of just pre-scribing medication.”

Lindsey said the selection pro-cess was “very competitive.”

“In the application process, we looked both at grades and what they can bring to the pro-gram,” Lindsey said. “Many were already interested in help-ing others and had experience volunteering at local food pan-tries, tutoring and working with persons of disability.”

Students applying for admis-sion were also required to sub-mit a personal statement four to six pages long, detailing their related goals, values and experiences.

“The process was fl exible and focused more on the person you are than the grades you’ve got-ten,” Gamer said. “The personal statements really helped show who you are as an individual, instead of just going by the numbers.”

here wondering what exactly we do around here,” Brito said.” They think ‘Yeah, we need to go to col-lege,’ but then they don’t know what life in college is like. But we can show them a lot of what hap-pens here: how to set up a student organization or how to do things to get you into college and not just live here, but be here.”

This was Danville High School’s fi rst time attending the conference.

Alberto Bello , mentor at Dan-ville High School , helped found the Hispanic Leadership Consul-ate at the school. The club’s goal is to keep Latino students interest-ed in academics, keeping them on the track to earn their high school

diplomas and look into careers.“We were invited by Ms. Loz-

ano,” Bello said. “She had heard through an acquaintance what we were doing in Danville with the Latino students.”

Bello said it was the club’s com-mitment to helping Latino students at Danville that caught the eye of Lozano.

Lozano said the growth of this event over its fi rst four years has been impressive. With an increas-ing Latino population in the region, it was necessary to increase the number of schools invited .

“When we fi rst started in April 2007, we only had 75 students from Champaign-Urbana,” she said. “This year we have over 160 stu-dents registered.”

Lozano said this conference has been successful because of posi-tive reactions from the students.

Organizers emphasize this as an engaging opportunity to inter-act with Latino college students and another chance to see the campus.

Brito has volunteered twice for this conference because of its atmosphere.

“You get to meet a lot of high school students,” he said. “It reminds you of when you were in high school, what with the little cliques and such. Before you know it, the students start talking to you and making jokes, getting to know you. You just can’t describe it.”

Bello said there was a “positive and wonderful atmosphere” and he hopes to be back next year.

“I hope this trip becomes a year-ly tradition (for Danville High School),” he said. “Many excellent resources and great opportunities are here.”

The certifi cation can be used to participate in other volunteering programs and to serve on an actu-al response team, said Tim Mur-ray , CERT program manager.

“Certifi ed teams are deployed to disastrous situations, say, fl ooding,” Murray said. “The team then assesses the situa-tion and damage and prioritizes where to send out offi cials.”

Murray added that at the moment Champaign does not have a team, but several coun-ties in the nation do.

CERT is a program of the Champaign Area Citizen Corps , which runs programs such as the Neighborhood Watch.

It is nationally funded by the

Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency , or FEMA, and the Department of Homeland Secu-rity, said Sgt. Jim Clark of the Champaign Police Department.

“Our $20 registration fee cov-ers classroom supplies, and we are also given a grant of about $5,000 to $6,000 a year,” Clark said. “We were given $5,500 for 2010, and that covers train-ing equipment and teacher salaries.”

Murray said the classes are taught by a pool of instructors from the Champaign police and fi re departments, and instructors from the Urbana Police Depart-ment have helped in the past as well.

“The classes are taught with demonstrations, lesson plans and a lot of hands-on activities,” Murray said. “All of that accumu-

lates into a fi eld exercise on the last day of class, where the stu-dents go out and handle a mock disaster.”

Murray said the classroom covers almost any type of natu-ral disaster imaginable, includ-ing medical operations, light search and rescues, fi re safety preparedness and terrorism.

The class curriculum focuses primarily on what is happening during the time of the year the program is offered.

The big focus for the spring classes is thunderstorms. In the fall, the focus is on winter-related natural disasters, Mur-ray said.

“We’re training individuals in basic responder skills and giving them an understanding of how mass casualty situations are han-dled,” he said.

state’s average by getting over 16 percent of the vote, accord-ing to the Illinois State Board of Elections.

“I think we’re seeing that we are already infl uencing the debate in terms of what’s being discussed,” he said. “Even if we’re not elected, we can still have an important infl uence,”

One local issue the party is focused on is controlling urban sprawl, such as the extension of Olympian Drive, Abram said.

Abram said the party is con-cerned with the possible increase in transportation cost and the removal of valuable farm land due to the proposed Olympian Drive expansion.

“People aren’t going to be rip-ping up the pavement and plant-ing beans and corn or anything in the future,” he said.

he University has been without a permanent presi-dent since B. Joseph White

stepped down during the fall semester. While Interim Pres-ident Stanley Ikenberry has been fi lling in, the presiden-tial search committee whittled the applicants down to 10, and board members have been in-terviewing the candidates.

Who is on the short list for the University’s top slot? Right now, no one’s telling. The names are being kept confi dential.

We understand that the can-

didates probably do not want to stir up controversy at their current jobs. Five of them are sitting university presidents and fi ve are provosts, accord-ing to University spokesman Tom Hardy. If their employers were aware that they are trying to take a different job, it could cause diffi culties, especially if they end up not getting the presidential job.

However, we would like to meet the people being consid-ered for the job as our presi-dent. We should have an oppor-

tunity to ask them questions and hear their vision for the University. Because the fi nal vote will be public, at least a few candidates will have to be made known. We would love to hear from those fi nalists.

During its dean search, the College of Media had four can-didates come to campus for two-day visits to meet with groups and give presentations. Something similar, although on a much larger scale, should happen as the next president is being selected. The presi-

dent is an extremely important fi gure and controls many poli-cies that affect the entire cam-pus body. The position may not be elected by the student body, but students should still be able to meet with the candidates and voice their opinions.

But time is of the essence. The president is expected to be selected by the end of May. Most students leave campus in the middle of May, so we hope the board will consider that timeline as it continues in the selection process. It would be

a shame if students lost the op-portunity to meet with their prospective presidents just be-cause most had gone home for the summer.

Opinions

nce upon a time, DI pho-tographer Michael Stein asked me to help him cov-

er an event about people rap-pelling down Illini Tower. The Respiratory Heart Association of Metropolitan Chicago part-nered with a student organi-zation to raise funds for edu-cating and researching lung diseases.

While the original plan was for Michael to rappel down the tower and for me inter-view people safely on the

ground, the roles quickly switched after he learned that he couldn’t take his camera down. Now, ever-so lucky me had the duty of rappelling to safety. Between the hyperven-tilation and joy from fi nish-ing, I captured my thoughts on my recorder. Here they are for your pure enjoyment.

8:42 a.m. Videographer John Potter : “Let me know how you feel after actually looking down from up there.”

Me: “You know what’s going to happen? Ten bucks I have tears, screaming.”

9:04 Photographer Michael Stein: “What ever you do, don’t

embarrass the DI. If you do I’ll take pictures, and they’ll be all over the newsroom.”

9:07 (In my head): Who was the genius who created a 5-foot rail? You want me to climb up a ladder to lean back off the roof of I.T.? Are you kidding me?

9:08 My fi rst step, and I’m screaming. In fact, I found out that this scream was heard 17 stories below. I’ve got some healthy lungs.

9:09 “Daily Illini, if I don’t get some type of bonus out of this, I swear to God...”

9:09 Nate, who works for

Over the Edge: “So, if you want to hit the gas some more you can.”

Me: “I’m gonna go slow.”

9:10 (Waiting for the photog-raphers to switch. Fifteen sto-ries up a building. Hanging by two cords. Take your time.)

9:11 “These harnesses are not that comfortable. I can’t imagine they would be that comfortable for a guy.”

9:11 (In my head): “Just keep talking. The more you talk, the less you think about falling to your death.”

9:12 (Me to my buddy Nate,

who helped me rappel): “We need to come up with a team name or something, like the Blue Barracudas. Go team Blue Barracudas!”

9:12 “Oh, the shackers are going home. You probably shouldn’t walk past half a dozen media outlets in your 2-inch heels and outfi t from last night.”

9:15 Landed!

9:16 Respiratory Health Association for Metropoli-tan Chicago CEO Joel Africk : “Very nice; you looked like a pro.”

Me: “Ugh, I don’t know

about that.”

9:19 “I’m pumped! I’m ready to go do something ridiculous.”

Yeah, I freaked out the entire time. Yeah, I screamed like a little girl.

But I accomplished some-thing that I didn’t think I could do, and at the end of the day, that’s what matters. And guess what? No tears.

ur president has some very interesting goals. In a world with corroding sta-

bility, his plan for peace is to eventually create a world free of nuclear weapons. Essential-ly, he wants to make nuclear weapons extinct. Yeah, that’s a great solution to all of our prob-lems. The problem with creat-ing an “extinct” weapon species is that, inevitably, some of them escape from extinction and go on to reek havoc among nations whose weapons were dutifully destroyed.

Recently, Obama and Med-vedev signed an arms reduc-tion and control treaty. This treaty will effectively reduce the possibility of nuclear weap-on deployment. The treaty will also cut long-range nuclear weapons by 30 percent over seven years. Since Russia is suffi ciently behind the US as far as weapons go, of course they are the most thrilled about this new treaty.

After all of this time, Rus-

sia and the U.S. are buddies again. Which is good, if you are against nuclear weapons. Hon-estly, not many people would claim to love nukes. They kill vast numbers of people with one blow. But, what happens when all of the world’s “good coun-tries” give up their nukes? The “bad countries” keep theirs. Russia and the U.S. control the majority of nuclear weapons, making their arms reduction a sig-nifi cant step toward Obama’s ultimate goal of a nuclear-weapon-less world. The arms reduction treaty cooperation of Rus-sia and US forc-es isn’t the only world step toward elimination of nuclear weapons. This week, over 40 countries will meet for a summit meeting in Washington on safeguarding nuclear material. There is also an upcoming meeting in New York on the Nuclear Non-Prolif-eration Treaty.

Even with the reductions, the remaining weapons could infl ict damage enough on the world. Never fear, there will always be enough nukes in the world to go around. The biggest

ques-tion is: who will

possess them? A

week ago, Obama made

another step toward limit-

ing nuclear weap-ons, this time target-ing their use. Obama

decided against devel-oping any more nucle-

ar weapons, which goes against his own defense

secretary. Also, Obama stated that he would not allow the US to use a nuclear weapon against a country that does not also possess nuclear weaponry and is in compliance with the

Nuclear Nonproliferation Trea-ty. Even if the country attacks using biological, chemical or any other weapon or attack mechanisms, the US will be unable to use a nuclear weap-on against it. Obama is already making exceptions for coun-tries that are known trouble-makers, like North Korea and Iran.

The problem I have with most all weapons reductions of any form are the limitations they present. You have to fi gure, out of all the people who will abide by the gun ban, most if not all, will be law-abiding citizens. The ones who will break these laws will be those who insist on breaking any other laws – criminals.

So, who will have these weap-ons? The criminals. And who will be most at risk from these weapon-bearing, law-break-ing people? The law-abiding people. Yep, doesn’t make any sense. Yet politicians have been the biggest proponents of these sorts of laws, along with people who have still not grasped the concept that it is people and not weapons who kill.

’m graduating in May (yikes!) and I’ve probably been spend-ing an excessive amount of

time philosophizing about the time I’ve spent here at U of I. I love the school I chose and I’m sad to leave, but I have to say one thing that stands out about my college experience hasn’t been affi liated with the Univer-sity at all: my part-time job. I’ve worked as a waitress in a res-taurant for three of my four years here. I wouldn’t be destitute if I didn’t – like many of you, my parents support most of my expens-es – but I feel as if my job has been a part of my educa-tion, and one that I think most students should have.

There are simply certain things a col-lege education

can’t teach you about having a real job, even though the reason we attend college is to obtain one.

For one thing, missing work isn’t like missing class. If you’ve ever heard the term “No call, no show, no job,” you know exactly what I mean.

However, the sense of respon-sibility you get from having to show up on your own time, on time is valuable; when I come home from work I sometimes feel a lot more gratifi ed than when I come home from class. You’re getting paid, so in gener-al terms, you’re always “getting something out of it.”

I understand there are a lot of students who would never have time for a job. Maybe if I were a biochemical engineer-ing major, I wouldn’t have time for a job either. However, I am an English major, and although I’m stressed creatively I don’t have quite the “busy work” load a lot of other majors have. After having a job, I don’t know what I would do with all of my time during the week if I didn’t have

to go to work, but I’m guessing it would involve going out or my television. Neither of these are necessarily a fantastic use of my time.

Even my roommate, who is an MCB (molecular cellular biol-ogy) major has had a job since freshman year, and admits that she’d probably just be incredi-bly bored if she didn’t have to go to work a few days a week. We all derive happiness from things we accomplish and do well. I tend to think that (reasonably) busy people are happy people.

There’s also one thing I’ll have on my resume when I graduate that students who

haven’t had jobs are miss-ing out on, and that’s work experience! Consider-ing I’m only 21, the fact that I’ve worked for the

same company for about 5 years means I’ve held a job for almost a quarter of

my life. It sounds small, but

to any employer, work experience can make you stand out from other students.

Another perk: I know what Cham-

paign-Urbana is like outside of the campus. Until I got my job, I felt as though I lived in a little bubble that included the Wal-Mart in Savoy and everything between University and Kirby avenues .

I didn’t really know that the best place to study is Cafe Kopi in downtown Champaign, and that Urbana had a ridiculous-ly awesome Farmer’s Mar-ket, because I never drove around much further than Campustown.

Now when I leave, I really think there’s something I’ll miss more than college itself – the town I’ve lived in for the past 4 years.

So whether you babysit, work in the mall, waitress on the weekends or clean beakers in a campus lab, I’d recommend you get a job in college.

A shift or two a week can do wonders for your resume, your perception of the town you live in and (I suppose the biggest incentive) your bank account.

Waves of orange T-shirts rolled into Scott Park in Cham-paign on Saturday as volun-teers arrived to kick off Bone-yard Creek Community Day. They worked to clean up the creek and different sections of Campustown.

Over 200 volunteers support-ed this annual event, sponsored by the cities of Champaign and Urbana. At 9 a.m., groups of par-ticipants arrived at the park and received their assigned areas.

“We’re just trying to clean up the campus area and the creek that goes through the campus. We’re trying to get some educa-tion programs out there about keeping the campus clean. It’s an overall community event, where people can help out to keep this campus clean,” said Alex Nagy, civil engineer for Champaign.

Organizers targeted different areas on and around the college campus. After picking up their cleaning materials at the park, groups of students left to take on their respective sections.

Edwin Corral, junior in LAS, said he was stationed on Green Street.

“As you walk around, you see a lot of trash,” Corral said.

“It puts that into perspec-tive; you can’t really just litter around when you’re coming out of a restaurant or going to a bar. People walk by there looking at us and probably are thinking, ‘Next time we’re not going to litter.’”

People cited different reasons for coming out to support the cause. Alex Libby , freshman in Engineering, said he was moti-vated by his religion.

“As a follower of Buddhist ideals, I believe in minimiz-ing your footprint on the area around you. I think cleaning up is a great way to get work done,” Libby said.

While undergraduate students were well represented, the vol-unteer pool was very diverse. Many adults worked on the proj-ect, along with the children from the Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club.

Recycling was an important theme throughout the day. Orga-

nizers collected the “litter-grab-bing sticks” after the cleaning was completed and will use them again next year. Volunteers were provided with reusable water bottles during the event. The organization targeted 38 loca-tions on their clean-up route, but were only able to clean 20. Despite the missed areas, Jane Solon, Champaign West Rotary volunteer, said there will still be a noticeable difference.

“You will see that a lot of the litter has been picked up in the Campustown,” Solon said.

“The Boneyard area is cleaned out from the litter that gets caught in during the rain, things that get caught on the rocks.”

While the majority of the work occurred on campus, select groups contributed at two remote locations: Park-land College, 2400 W. Bradley Ave., Champaign, and the Anita Purves Nature Center, 1505 N. Broadway Ave., Urbana.

The opening reception of the Art for Empowerment: Healing through Art exhibit was held at the Illini Union Art Gallery Friday .

The art exhibit, featuring Elz-bieta Kazmierczak’s artwork, serves to raise sexual assault awareness and will be open to the public throughout April .

“Every adolescent featured in the exhibit has been sexually vio-lated,” Kazmierczak said.

Apart from the artwork, the exhibit features t-shirts made by local individuals affected by sexual abuse in a national, annual clothes line project. As a survivor of domestic violence, Kazmierc-zak said she has experienced the benefi ts of art therapy herself.

“It’s a quiet and solitary pro-cess that allows for a refl ective moment. It takes away the shy-ness of a person and eliminates

the threat of vocalizing your thoughts,” she added.

Kazmierczak said art is an effective medium to convey emo-tions because it expresses an inti-mate understanding of the artist’s experience.

Shawna Stich , senior in LAS , said she agreed with Kazmierczak that art is a powerful medi-um in expression of emotion, specifi cally of hurt.

Kazmierczak is facilitating the Illi-ni Art Therapy Asso-ciation art therapy workshops that take place at the Wom-en’s Resources Cen-ter. The association’s mission is to “provide a safe space for guid-ed relaxation and mutual support.”

“It’s easier to make something and then talk about it rather than ask ‘How do you feel today?’ (and) ‘What’s your goal for the next fi ve years,’” Kazmierczak said.

“It’s a balance between an intui-tive drawing from resources that

are unrealized, unconscious, that you bring up to the surface.”

All students are welcome to attend the workshop, she said.

“There’s not only one way to express yourself in art. It helps to express yourself in uncon-ventional ways,” said Maxandre

Balthazar , junior is LAS and art gallery chair .

Having help and a support system are necessary for those who experienced abuse, Kazmierc-zak said.

She added that she knows an abused victim needs to get his or her anger and hurt out in a nonde-structive way.

“You think your life has been shat-tered, and you

need to work from the ground up, rebuild the life that you had before the abuse,” Kazmierczak said.

“One thing that is important to know is that you are not alone. It is not your fault.”

Art therapy becomes new part of healing process after abuse

Local volunteers join forces for community e! ort

Jamie Leavitt said she wanted to reach out and help the students at her alma mater gain real-world experience in her fi eld that would help out a good cause.

“We decided to try and bring this event down to campus as I am an alum and so is our CEO Joel Africk ,” said the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago event manager.

“He has the Illini pride and wanted to bring something down here.”

She contacted Ryan Gower , University lecturer and intern-ship Coordinator about hosting Skyline Plunge, an event that allowed fundraising participants to rappel down Illini Tower on Sunday. Gower then immediately contacted the president of registered student organization Sports, Tourism and Rec-reation Association, Dan Marcus , and asked him if the club would be interested in helping confi gure the event.

“When you do something for a cause, you fi ght for it. You go for it,” Marcus said.

“It just drives you. We realized how important it was.”Planning began last November, he said. Leavitt added that

the group chose Illini Tower because it is a “vibrant dorm” that both Africk and she remember during their time on campus. Other buildings considered were Bromley Hall and Three-O-Nine Green Street. The details for Skyline Plunge were set before the spring semester began, which left them enough time to promote the event and gain experience in the fi eld. Marcus said the club’s main objective was to encour-

age people to sign up for the event. It held Info Nights on campus, delivered dinner announcements to fraternities and sororities, spoke with agencies within the Champaign and Urbana community, used Facebook and posted fl yers around the University. It also met with other RSOs to gen-erate interest. According to Lungchicago.com as of press time, 219 donors raised $10,981 for the event.

Marcus said the money raised would be split equally between the two groups after operation costs were taken into account. Leavitt said the money for the association would fund research about lung diseases, while Marcus said the money for the organization would pay for grant education scholarships for the club.

Leavitt said the association has not determined whether the event will be held next year. Outside the fi nancial realm, Marcus said the lessons learned throughout the experience also made the extensive planning worthwhile.

“It’s really great to give some valuable experience in the event-management market,” he said.

“You can really get an inside professional look about it all.”

Marcus said it was benefi cial to learn how to work with a third party such as Over the Edge, a company that allows participants to rappel down buildings for fun. Both parties said they learned from working with the other group.

“I know what it’s like being a student (there), and so I knew that we could bring a true, life experience to them in a true learning experience of working with an event,” Leavitt said.

Though Sarah Herberger’s grandfather could not be there to watch her rappel down the 17-story Illini Tower building Sunday, she knew he was there in spirit.

After losing her grandfather to lung cancer eight years ago and being told her childhood friend was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, the senior in ACES said she would dedicate this vertical plunge to them.

“I’m going to send my friend some pictures, and my grandfather is looking down on me and saying ‘good job,’” Herberger said.

She is one of 15 individuals who rappelled 178 feet down the north side of the private residence hall at 409 E. Chalmers St., Champaign.

The Skyline Plunge event was hosted by the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chica-go and the Sport, Tourism and Rec-reation Association, a registered student organization, to raise mon-ey for research about lung diseas-es and provide grants for the club. The two organizations partnered up with a special events company, Over the Edge, which helps par-ticipants rappel down buildings for fun.

Students who will raise $500 and community members who will raise $1,000 by April 24 were offered the reward of walking vertically down

Illini Tower. Herberger has collect-ed $600 thus far, making her one of the Top 10 current individual donors for the Champaign-Urba-na plunge.

A daredevil at heart, Herberger enthusiastically jumped on board after her close friend and partici-pant, Heather Lanuti, told her about the event. Herberger has skydived multiple times and will be running a marathon later this year.

“It’s a combination of two things that she really loves to do, which was perfect for her,” said roommate Gaby Kuri, senior in ACES.

She said it was simply just anoth-er adventure for Herberger, who actively fundraises for organi-zations at both home and school, including Relay for Life and Harbor House. Harbor House provides ser-vices for women who faced domes-tic violence.

Herberger said she primarily raised the money by throwing a party where all the proceeds went to her fundraising campaign. Addi-tionally, she reached out to peo-ple who have been touched by the cause.

Months later, she gracefully rap-pelled down the tower in 2:42 sec-onds, laughing and posing for pic-tures along the way.

“I had to take a minute when I looked over the edge,” Herberg-er added. “Nate (Over the Edge employee) was like, ‘You can do it,’

and I was like, ‘I’m just going to take a breather fi rst.’”

There was about a 5-foot lip on the roof of Illini Tower, which meant participants had to immedi-ately fall backward before the rope would catch them. They were told to walk down the side of the build-ing at a moderate pace. During her descent, friends and members of the club cheered her on with blow-horns and streamers. Her plunge

ended in all smiles while she held an “I did it!” sign provided by event coordinators.

But this plunge does not mark the end of Herberger’s rappelling career. The Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chi-cago will host another 27-story plunge at theWhit Hotel , 201 North State St., Chicago, on Sept. 12, and this adventure seeker’s gears are already turning about how she can

raise the money.“People need to become more

aware of the lung diseases out there because they are increasing in children with bronchitis and asthma,” she said about why she fundraises.

And whether it is in honor or her grandfather or close friend, if there is a chance for her to raise money in some death-defying adventure, she will probably be there.

Skyline Plunge raises funds for respiratory health

aturday’s Illinois football practice was a little dif-ferent than the previous

practices this spring. The Illi-ni shed their red non-contact jerseys, allowing the quarter-backs to be hit, just like any other player.

For the quarterbacks, the contact was a welcome change. Sophomore Jacob Charest said the hitting makes practices

more exciting and competitive.“(The quarterbacks) are

used to coming out here, and, even if it would be a sack, we still throw the ball like nobody is going to touch us,” Charest said. “I wouldn’t say it’s nice to get hit, but it kinda gets the blood fl owing a little bit.”

Redshirt freshman Nathan Scheelhaase perhaps gained the most from Saturday’s con-tact. Sure, his arm needs more work than his legs, so the non-contact practices are still ben-efi cial. But it’s great to see him scrambling and picking up yards like he would actually do in a game. Scheelhaase got

to show off his agility and elu-siveness during the practice, which, in my mind, strength-ened his case for starting quar-terback job.

“I liked it. I mean, this is football,” Scheelhaase said. “It was fun getting out there and playing ball again.”

Charest and freshman Chan-dler Whitmer took hard hits in the practice, but that’s a good thing. As long as their brains don’t turn into scrambled eggs, a hit can wake up a dormant quarterback and get his com-petitive juices fl owing.

Head coach Ron Zook wasn’t as excited to see the contact.

“I wasn’t looking forward to it at all,” Zook said following the practice.

Zook added that the contact is a “necessary evil” to show that the three young quarter-backs can handle the hitting.

Defensive coordinator Vic Koenning said he saw his defense playing like it had been practicing — restraining from hitting the quarterbacks — in the early parts of Saturday’s practice. The same rule could apply to the quarterbacks. If a mobile quarterback prac-tices without scrambling and

Sports

A classic Big Ten matchup between No. 18 Illinois and No. 20 Ohio State left the Illini with mixed emotions after they split a two-game series this weekend at Eichel-berger Field.

Game one ended in dramatic fashion, as Ashley Conrad belted a walk-off home run propelling the Illini to a 3-2 victory ; how-ever, Sunday’s contest was a much differ-ent story, as the Buckeyes rolled the Illi-ni 10-2 .

In the seventh inning Saturday, Conrad took a 1-2 pitch from Melanie Nichols and drove it over the left fi eld fence, sealing the victory for Illinois (27-5, 3-2) .

“I defi nitely wasn’t trying to do that,” Conrad said. “I was just trying to get on. We had our one-two-three hitters coming up, so I knew if I got on that (Danielle Zym-kowitz ) and (Hope Howell ) were going to get me over, no problem.”

This pitcher’s duel brought a 1-1 tie into the bottom of the sixth inning until pinch hitter Linnea Detrick launched a one-out RBI single, giving the Illini the 2-1 lead heading into the seventh.

The Buckeyes replied quickly when an intentional walk loaded the bases for Court-

ney Pruner as she hit a RBI single with two outs, tying the game 2-2 before Conrad’s walk-off homer.

“Ashley (Conrad) is so good in any pres-sure situation like that,” starting pitcher Monica Perry said. “We always want her up. She is good at doing whatever she needs to do.”

Perry pitched a complete game, giving up seven hits and two earned runs, earn-ing her 14th win of the season; however, Perry credits the victory to her defense, which helped the Buckeyes to strand nine base runners.

“(The defense) just really took a lot of

pressure off of me when runners were on,” Perry said. “I know my teammates are gon-na make the play and get the out. It’s relax-ing when you know your defense can make plays for you like that.”

Game two brought freshman Pepper Gay , who came in boasting a 10-0 record and an ERA of 1.57, to the mound. Gay would last

No. 85 Abe Souza stretched his winning streak to seven matches in a near-perfect week-end for the No. 13 Illini men’s tennis team.

“I started to realize that every match I play, I feel I can win it,” Souza said.

“There’s no real feelings of ‘due to lose’ or ‘due to win.’ It’s just, ‘Can I win this match?’ Absolutely.”

Illinois defeated No. 60 Iowa 7-0 Sunday, and topped Minne-sota 6-1 Saturday at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex .

Senior Marek Czerwinski said the dominating wins are encouraging for an Illini team that had been battling inconsis-tency entering the weekend.

“I don’t think anyone really

played their best this weekend,” he said.

“Knowing that we can win these matches when we’re not playing our best can only boost us confi dence wise, to know that when we do play our best, it should only get better.”

Against Iowa (10-7, 2-4 Big Ten), Illinois led from start to fi nish, beginning with a sweep of the doubles point to lead 1-0.

No. 35 Dennis Nevolo won quickly for the Illini with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Marc Bruche at No. 1 singles.

At the No. 2 spot, No. 57 Czer-winski defeated Nikita Zotov 6-1, 6-2, to give the Illini a 3-0 lead.

Freshman Bruno Abdelnour sealed the match for Illinois with his three-set win at No.

6 singles. Junior Johnny Hamui then

won his second match of the weekend 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, which impressed head coach Brad Dancer.

“This was maybe his com-ing-out weekend for the Illini,” Dancer said.

“He had great spirit in sin-gles and doubles, and beat two good ball-strikers.”

Souza was the next to win with a 5-7, 6-4, 1-0(4) victory at the No. 3 spot, which also net-ted him his 19th victory of the dual season.

“Technically he’s way better than he was as a freshman and sophomore,” Dancer said.

“And tactically there’s much less pressure now. He’s much

Illinois baseball entered this weekend’s series at Iowa expecting to put up plenty of runs.

But after a high-scoring victory Friday, Illinois mus-tered only six runs in back-to-back losses Saturday and Sunday.

“We usually score quite a few runs, and this weekend we were hitting balls pretty hard,” Illini outfi elder Willie Argo said. “But we lined out a lot and popped out a lot, and everybody, including myself, started pressing a little bit and running at the ball.”

Illinois won Friday’s open-er 9-8, although Iowa took a fi rst inning lead behind an RBI single from senior catcher Ryan Durant.

The Illini answered with a four-run second, only to see Iowa get two back in the bottom of the inning behind a single from junior second baseman Zach McCool.

The score stayed at 4-3 until the fourth, when the Hawkeyes exploded for four more runs.

Illini senior Mike Giller singled in the top of the sixth to make the score 8-6, and junior outfi elder Casey McMurray doubled in the eighth to draw the Illini with-in one.

“We had a lot of runs scored and it was a very

tight game,” McMurray said. “They were up, we came back and then manage to hold them off late.”

McMurray and Giller scored on the next Illini at-bat courtesy of a Hawkeye fi elding error, taking their fi rst lead of the game at 9-8.

Sophomore right-hander Bryan Roberts , who pitched the fi nal two innings, picked up his fourth save of the season.

“The first four or five innings of the weekend, we did not pitch well at all,” said Illini head coach Dan Hart-leb . “But the rest of the week-end we threw pretty well.”

Iowa bounced back with a 6-4 victory Saturday.

The Hawkeyes jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the fi rst, notch-ing four hits against Illini starter Kevin Johnson.

The freshman was charged with the loss after giving up four runs in six innings of action.

“You have to be ready to pitch from inning number one,” Hartleb said. “This weekend, we gave up a lot of runs in the fi rst inning, and we weren’t always able to make it back.”

But Saturday, a three-run homer from Argo tied the score in the top of the third.

If its seeding wasn’t telling enough, the results told the sto-ry for the No. 13 Illinois wom-en’s gymnastics team.

The Illini entered the NCAA Central Regional on Saturday as the No. 3 seed. They left with a third-place fi nish. The team’s score of 195.425 was not enough to upset top-seed-ed and No. 1 Alabama (197.400), or No. 12 Nebraska (195.875), the regional’s No. 2 seed.

“It was a little tough waiting out the bye, making it hard to transfer the energy from the vault to the bars,” head coach Bob Starkell said of the Illini’s rotation. “The energy level we had was exciting, and we came out strong in the fi rst event, probably one of our bet-ter vaulting days. We proba-bly lost maybe four tenths of a point on silly things we don’t do in practice. And that was the difference in between our strong start and strong fi nish on the fl oor.”

Illinois tallied a 49.025 on the vault and a 49.225 on the fl oor, their fi rst and last events. The high scores on the two events were marred by below-season-average performances on the bars, with a score of 48.575, and on the beam, with a score of 48.600.

While Illinois fell short of qualifying for the NCAA Championships as a team, senior Sarah Schmidt and junior Allison Buckley did their part en route to claiming their spots as individual qualifi ers. Schmidt secured her place for next week’s individual NCAA Championships by fi nishing as the top all-around gymnast on a non-qualifying team, scoring a 39.225.

Buckley tied for the top spot on the vault, posting a 9.900 to qualify in the event. The regional title is the second of Buckley’s career after she won on the beam last season. Buck-ley will vie for her second All-American recognition after receiving second-team honors in 2008 on the beam.

“Obviously we wanted to go down (to Florida) as a team,” Buckley said. “But I get to go represent the University along with Sarah, and that is excit-ing. It will be a little weird to be just focusing on one event. But because it is just one event for me, hopefully, I can just put everything I’ve got into it.”

Schmidt will also be vying for a chance to become a two-time All-American after earn-ing the honor on the fl oor event last year. The opportunity for Schmidt is one that neither she nor the coaches predicted.

“Coming in, Sarah didn’t real-ly compete in the all-around,” Starkell said. “She, as a gym-nast, improved week by week and so much year by year. And

Score not enough to take women’s gymnastics to Fla.

Consistency has been the differ-ence this season for Aja Evans . The senior, who won the shot put for the second straight week with a throw of 5 feet 1 inch at Tennessee’s Sea-Rays Relays , said her approach has been better than ever before.

“I have never been this consis-tent with my throws, so I have felt more confi dent each time I throw,” Evans said. “I wouldn’t say that I have been approaching the meets differently, but I feel like my mental approach has been more consistent.”

“The mental consistency is some-thing that comes with the experi-ence of me being a senior. Things have defi nitely been put into per-spective with this as my last colle-giate season,” Evans added.

The Illini split up their squad between two events, Tennessee’s SeaRays Relays and the Sun Angel Classic in Arizona . Four distance runners, including Angela Bizzar-ri, were sent to Sun Angel Classic to compete against high level com-petition. Elizabeth Boyle , Chantelle Groenewoud and Kristin Suther-land fi nished 10th, 13th and 15th, respectively, in the 5,000 meters at the Sun Angel Classic.

Bizzarri placed second in the 1,500 meters in her outdoor debut. Although she placed second, Biz-zarri was the top collegiate fi nisher with a time of 4 minutes and 18 sec-onds. Assistant coach Jeremy Ras-mussen said Bizzarri’s runner-up fi nish in the 1,500 is just a building

block for later in the season. “For the fi rst race out, everyone

did a pretty good job competing,” Rasmussen said. “Angela really feels like she can run a lot fast-er, which is a positive sign, and our 5,000-meter runners trained through their race and will con-tinue to get faster.”

Tamika Robinson continued her winning streak in the 100-meter hurdles and the 100 meters for the second straight week. Robinson shattered her personal-best time in the 100 hurdles with a time of 13.18 seconds. Head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey said Robinson’s con-fi dence was boosted because of the competition she beat out.

“It was a really good day with almost everyone running person-al bests, so we are in the right direction,” Buford-Bailey said. “Tamika ran very well and went up against an Olympian in the hur-dles, which was a big help for her confi dence.”

The Illini relay teams stepped up their efforts as they took home a few different titles. The 4x200 meter relay team won, along with the 4x400 meter relay team, which edged out Tennessee by half a second.

Kendall McCaugherty added another event title for the Illini, as she won the high jump Friday night. The sophomore jumped a personal best of 1.75 meters. Buford-Bailey said the SeaRay Relays was a good bonding experience for the team.

“It was an outstanding weekend,” Buford-Bailey said. “I was very

pleased with how we performed and rallied together as a team. Everyone was cheering each oth-

er on, and we picked up a few more titles (Saturday). It was a perfect weekend for the track meet.”

Coming up to the fi nish line, Kyle Engnell couldn’t stop smiling.

The sophomore won the steeple-chase with a personal best time of nine minutes, .76 seconds — 17 sec-onds faster than the second-place fi nisher .

But what made winning all the better for Engnell was what followed the victory at the Pepsi Invitational in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday .

“After I fi nished, I was asked if I wanted to take a victory lap and I said, ‘Sure,’” Engnell said. “The crowd was so welcoming, and it was awesome to run by my team and for everyone to stop and rec-ognize me. It most defi nitely ranks up there as the best moment of my track career.”

The Oregon crowd cheered for Engnell, even though he wasn’t one of their own, and interim-head coach

Mike Turk said the fans deserve some of the credit for the Homer Glen, Ill. , native’s 10-second per-sonal best at the legendary Hay-ward Field .

“The environment of the meet really helped Kyle,” Turk said. “Hayward Field is a special place. Their fans create a unique atmo-sphere, rooting for everybody.

“Because he was so far ahead of everyone else, he ran the race largely by himself; the crowd real-ly helped him out and cheered for him.”

Twenty-three other members of the Illinois men’s track and fi eld team joined Engnell at the Pepsi Invitational.

Illinois placed fourth out of the fi ve schools competing with 109 points. No. 3 Oregon (186) won the meet, followed by No. 2 Texas A&M (151) , Washington (132) and Mis-souri (103) .

While Oregon and Texas A&M are two of the top-fi ve teams in the nation, Turk said despite the meet being in Orgegon, the Huskies ben-efi ted from a home-fi eld advantage of sorts.

Because Washington is geograph-ically closer to Oregon, the Huskies were able to bus more athletes to the meet, while Illinois fl ew out fewer competitors. The Illini just didn’t have enough bodies.

“This was the best team perfor-mance we’ve had all season,” Turk said. “It was a great chance for our guys to be on TV and in front of 5,000 people in the stands. Outside of the Olympic trials, USA Cham-pionships or a NCAA meet, this is as big of a meet as these guys will run in.”

Hayward Field is also the site of this year’s NCAA Outdoor Champi-onships. Junior Cody Wisslead , who took home the 400-meter hurdles

title with a time of 52.45 seconds, said he hopes to return to Oregon later in the year for the meet.

“It was a great experience running at Hayward Field,” Wisslead said. “Because my goal is to qualify for nationals, hopefully this meet will be used as a good experience.”

While Wisslead won, he said he could have done even better. The Sciota, Ill ., native, who came out of the blocks with a slow start, ran on the outside lane, meaning that he didn’t see any of his competition for the majority of the race.

If he had the advantage of run-ning on the inside lane, he said he would have come out a little faster and ran a better time.

Illinois will transition from the magnitude of Hayward Field when they head to Iowa City next week where Egnell, Wisslead and the rest of the Illini will compete in a dual meet against Iowa on Saturday .

While winning is big, it’s how big of a margin the Illinois women’s tennis team won by over the week-end that boosted its confi dence.

“We’re feeling so good right now,” freshman Bre-anne Smutko said. “Absolutely annihilating (Iowa and Minnesota) 6-1, that’s just a huge victory.”

On Saturday, Illinois (11-7, 5-1 Big Ten) grabbed its fi rst upset of the season after defeating No. 22 Iowa (13-4, 3-3) 6-1. The Illini followed with another 6-1 win over No. 60 Minnesota (10-10, 3-4) on Sunday.

With just four matches left before the Big Ten Championships, the No. 36 Illini have turned the tables around since dropping a heartbreaker to then-No. 20 South Carolina, 4-3, during spring break. Since then, the Orange and Blue are riding a four-match winning streak.

“We had a rough loss against South Carolina over spring break, and had a couple of team meetings about how we’re going to get back on track and get ready and excited about the Big Ten season,” senior Kristina Minor said. “So everyone’s been doing what they have to do whether it’d be like extra individuals (practices), working on our attitude, hitting harder, whatever it may be.”

The Illini have also seen a turnaround in their doubles, which they were struggling with during the beginning of the season. They have now taken eight of the last nine doubles points.

On Sunday, Illinois swept the doubles point. And while head coach Michelle Dasso has kept the same doubles pairings since Feb. 26, she switched up the order against Minnesota.

Usually at the No. 1 spot, the No. 50-ranked duo of senior Megan Fudge and junior Leigh Finnegan , moved down to the No. 2 spot. Sophomore Chelcie Abajian and freshman Rachael White played No. 1.

“All three positions have been really successful this year, so we’re just giving everyone different opportunities,” Dasso said. “I just feel confi dent in whoever is playing one or two for us. And obvi-ously, three has been pretty much very, very solid for us.”

Smutko, at the No. 5 spot, kept the momentum going in singles by grabbing the fi rst victory in quick straight sets against Magdalena Wiecha. Finnegan followed with another straight-set win over Alexa Palen on court four, and junior Marisa Lambropou-los clinched the win with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Jackie Sperling on court three.

While Dasso said the key to Sunday’s win was a result of “everyone taking care of the things they can control,” she attributed the success over the weekend as a “total team effort,” and her players confi rmed.

“The past three matches I’ve played, I’ve won the fi rst set in like 10 minutes; it’s been so fast,” Smutko said.

“I’ve noticed that when I come out of the gate real-ly fast, it really just sets the path and helps me get up in the match fast. So I’ve really just been going out with a lot of energy, and it’s really been key in starting the match out right. And when your team-mates look down and see that you’re winning big in your fi rst set, then it gives them like a good feeling inside about the match too.”

Junior Connor Roth sealed the 7-0 final with a 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-3 win at No. 5 singles.

No. 39 Minnesota (9-8, 2-3) visited Champaign on Saturday, but was handed a 6-1 defeat by the Illini.

Illinois won at Nos. 1 and 2 doubles to gain a quick 1-0 lead against the Gophers.

In the singles portion of the match, the Illini could not be stopped. Souza came away with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Rok Bonin and Nevolo won shortly after over No. 66 Sebastian Gallego 6-2, 6-2.

Hamui picked up the clincher winning his match 6-3, 6-1, fol-lowed moments later by a Ste-phen Hoh victory.

After Roth fell at No. 5 sin-gles to give the Gophers their first point of the day, Czerwin-ski won in three sets 0-6, 7-6, 6-2, for the final score.

she is at her strongest level right now, giving her a successful senior season. She took a little different approach this week from last and enjoyed some success. Now she has a chance to compete another day, and we’ve got a chance to have another All-American.”

Schmidt is ready for the chance to do well at nationals, which will

be hosted by the University of Florida from April 22-24.

“I’m excited for the opportu-nity,” Schmidt said. “Of course I wanted to be there with the team. But nationals is a really amazing atmosphere, to go and compete with the best. The whole time it was emotional because I knew it could be my last meet. But to end strong on the floor like that, although not my best, I was happy to go out and finish in my last team event like that.”

“I’m pretty sure I got down 0-2 in the count,” Argo said. “Then I fouled a couple pitches off and I got a fastball down there and got the barrel to it. I just got the barrel on it, and it barely went out of the park.”

Iowa regained the lead with two runs in the fifth, and an eighth inning single from short-stop Kurt Lee increased the Hawkeyes lead to 6-3.

McMurray said the Illini were pretty impressed with Iowa’s pitching staff.

“They had some good arms that they threw at us,” McMur-ray said. “They had a bunch of lefties that gave us some trouble.”

In Sunday’s finale, the Hawk-

eyes again took a 3-0 lead in the first, but a double from fresh-man DH Thomas Shelton keyed a two-run second inning for the Illini, who trailed 3-2 heading into the third.

Shelton, who was making his first career start, finished the game 2-for-3 with one RBI.

“I was pretty excited to get the opportunity to start,” Shel-ton said. “I just wish we could’ve played a little bit better and got-ten the win.”

Illinois was unable to score again, falling 4-2 after the Hawkeyes tacked on one more run in the seventh.

“All weekend, we hit some balls that just went right at peo-ple,” McMurray said. “We had some things that didn’t go our way. But in the end we just have to tip our hats to them. They were a good team.”

only three innings, giving up four earned runs on six hits.

The Buckeyes (22-11, 3-1) manufactured a two-out rally in the third inning off of Gay after Pruner doubled to left field, scor-ing a run. Karisa Medrano then tried to stretch a double into a triple but was tagged out at third only after two more Buckeyes crossed the plate.

Perry came on in relief while the Illini trailed 4-2 in the fourth inning and worked out of a two-on, two-out jam.

In the sixth inning, things began unraveling quickly for the Illinois, as a wild pitch from Perry scored pinch run-

ner Julia Pecina. Next up was the ever-deadly Pruner, who faced the bases loaded with two outs. Pruner sent Perry’s first pitch over the right field fence, increasing the Buckeyes’ lead to seven, giving Pruner her sev-enth RBI for the weekend.

Ohio State would tack on one more run in the seventh, giving the Buckeyes the 10-2 victory.

“With Big Ten softball, our players know that you have to expect your opponents to be at their best always — especially after us winning the first one,” head coach Terri Sullivan said.

“Bottom line, we just flat out got our butts beat. Too often, you look at what you didn’t do instead of giving credit to your opponent. They came to play and they hit today.”

fighting to pick up extra yards, how can he be expected to do it during an actual game? Zook said he doesn’t plan on taking the non-contact jerseys off his players more than once for the remainder of spring practices, but the quarter-backs need to practice as hard as they’ll play in a game. Why not let them gain the practice they need to lead this team to success?

I applaud Zook for allow-ing his players to take off the

red jerseys Saturday, but I question his reasoning behind limiting the hitting in prac-tice. Protecting these play-ers does lessen the chance for injury, but it comes at the risk of players holding back and losing interest. Zook said the three young quarterbacks can handle the hitting. I’m not so sure.

If they practice hard, they’ll play just as hard. And coming off a 3-9 season, that’s exactly what the Illini need.

Conditions were perfect last weekend for low scores at the Indi-ana Invitational, and Illinois wom-en’s golfer Hailey Koschmann took advantage of the weather to take the individual title.

The sophomore finished with a score of 214, just one stroke better than second-place finisher Laura Nochta of Indiana.

“(Koschmann) played very solid the entire week-end,” head coach Renee Slone said. “She opened up with 71 and fol-lowed with 74 in the afternoon, went into today in second, two back. Conditions were excellent weath-er-wise; today’s round had poten-tial for low scores and it was going to have to take under par to get it done, and Hailey played near-flaw-less golf.”

After Saturday’s play, Kos-chmann was sitting in second place, two shots out of first. Despite hitting the flag stick twice, Slone knew Koschmann had potential to improve her position.

“She hit flag stick twice, so we knew the time was coming that she’d pull one out, and today it hap-pened on hole 17, and she knocked it in for an eagle and the momen-

tum sent her on her way,” Slone said.

The momentum led Koschmann to post a third-round score of 69, one of the lowest scores turned in on Sunday and good enough to push her into first place.

The Illini placed 10th as a team. Sophomore Samantha Sloan fin-ished tied for 20th with a score of 224. Fellow sophomore Kaitlyn Wampler, along with freshman

Crystal Smith, tied for 61st with a score of 238. Sophomore Nora Lucas finished with a score of 245, for a team total of 913.

Slone said the team’s finish was in part due to Saturday’s start, when they posted a score of 310 in the first round.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t have a good enough fourth score,” Slone said. “It takes four. It needs to be four good scores to contend. We did bounce back in the afternoon (in Saturday’s second round) to post 301.”

After two rounds on Saturday, the Illini were sitting in ninth place, but failed to improve their position.

“The conditions were ideal, and today things were set up to be tak-en advantage of,” Slone said. “We weren’t able to do that.”
