Several University offi ces are joining to host a series of events for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, which started Sunday and ends Saturday.

As a precursor event, Dr. Ani-ta Johnston, a clinical psycholo-gist specializing in eating disor-ders and co-founder of several eating disorder treatment cen-ters across the country, held a presentation on Friday about using mythical stories and folk-tales to better understand eat-ing disorders and the emotions behind them.

“It’s not about the weight,” Johnston said. “It’s about the invisible forces that are driv-ing disordered eating.”

Johnston said it is diffi cult to be satisfi ed with one’s body image these days because of infl uences from the media. She said it’s important not to let those images have an effect.

Johnston used Princess Diana as an example of someone who successfully dealt with an eat-ing disorders. She said Princess Diana, as well as most people with eating disorders, are “thin-skinned.” This refers to peo-ple who are highly emotional, intuitive and sensitive in many aspects of their lives.

Johnston said Princess Diana had to learn to cope with nega-tivity in her life when she was dealing with body image issues.

The 1867 Society and Student Alumni Ambassadors partnered up with several campus groups to plan events for the fi rst annual “I Love Illinois” Week to celebrate the 146th anniversary of the Uni-versity’s founding.

Katie Chan , president of The 1867 Society and junior in Busi-ness, said the idea came from a conference The 1867 Society attended in July about the pro-motion of campus life and phi-lanthropy. The organization has been planning for “I Love Illinois” Week since August.

“We have Homecoming week, and during the spring semester, we don’t have anything to look for-ward to,” Chan said. “I wanted to bring a concept that incorporates school pride.”

To kick off this weeklong event, on Monday, members of The 1867 Society and Student Alumni Ambassadors, will pass out 500 free shirts at the Ikenberry Com-mons. Throughout “I Love Illinois

Week,” co-sponsors of the event will give away spirit wear and oth-er University-related freebies at various locations on campus.

For example, on Wednesday, known as Founder’s Day, The 1867 Society, Student Alumni Ambas-sadors, Uniting Illini and the Illi-nos Student Senate will distrib-ute blue and orange cupcakes on the Quad.

Chan’s main reason for cre-ating the event was to educate students about the University’s birthday.

“Students fail to realize when the University’s birthday is,” Chan said. “It should be a signifi -cant date that is true to students’ hearts.”

The event will conclude on Fri-day at the ARC, where The 1867 Society will host an Illini Triv-ia and “Be a Giving Student” Tournament.

Damani Bolden , student sena-tor and junior in ACES, said he saw this week as a way for stu-dents to thank the University for all the opportunities it offers.

“The mission of this week is for students to give back for the institution that has given so much, such as world-class research and top education,” Bolden said.

Dominique Ghess , freshman in DGS, agreed that the anniversa-ry is important to acknowledge and honor.

“Being a student at this Univer-sity means that I have a chance to build a future and take advan-tage of the plentiful resources I am offered,” Ghess said.

Bolden said this event will give students the opportunity to show their school spirit.

“U of I is truly a family. Our University has pride far beyond any Big Ten or any institution in the nation,” Bolden said. “The love and commitment that every U of I student has for their alma mater is always illustrated, and Love Illinois Week gives us that opportunity to celebrate.”

‘I Love Illinois’ week celebrates U of I’s founding

Hundreds of insect enthusiasts fi lled Foellinger Auditorium on Saturday night to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the entomology department’s Insect Fear Film Festival.

The event was called “The Ins-X Files,” and Chris Carter, the creator of “The X-Files” spoke at the event. The Daily Illini sat down with Carter to discuss the festival.

Daily Illini: Why did you choose to show “War of Coprophages” out of all the episodes about insects in “The X-Files”?Chris Carter: Because of May Berenbaum (festival creator) , it was the obvious epi-sode to show, and because it’s one of the best episodes of the show.

DI: What efforts did you take to make the show more realistic?CC: We were really rigorous in our sci-ence research because, for me, the story’s only as scary as it is believable, so it’s got to start with real science, and then the sci-ence fi ction is built in on that.

DI: “The X-Files” was really the fi rst science fi ction horror show of its kind. Was it diffi cult getting that past studio executives in the mid-’90s?CC: It’s hard to get ... anything past the studio executives. They’re always braced for failure. ... I always say they dare you to succeed because most things fail, and they’re certain that when you’re making something in the beginning that you are tempting fate and failure by making what-

University ROTC cadets host-ed their fi rst annual Frosty 5K obstacle race on Friday to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, a national charity bene-fi tting wounded veterans.

The event, organized by the Jake Schaefer Squadron, an airforce ROTC community service organi-zation, raised more than their origi-nal goal of $500 for the cause.

Participants followed a one-loop course at the Arboretum

enhanced with military-inspired obstacles. Runners hauled bags of sands, carried PVC pipes fi lled with sand carried “death sticks” and crawled on their stomachs through the snow.

Benjamin Rockwell, junior in ACES, said snow and ice left over from Thursday’s winter storm made the obstacle even more challenging.

“I was running the whole entire thing in the snow from start to fi nish and that was the most challenging part,” Rockwell

said. “It was something I’ve nev-er experienced before in a lot of 5Ks. It was defi nitely fun.”

The race included a women’s and men’s 5K. Logan Crawford, freshman in ACES, had the overall best male time when he fi nished in 20 minutes and 30 seconds.

“The hardest (obstacle) for me was the sandbag carry,” Crawford said. “I liked it because it was the most diffi cult, and it was where the people started dropping out.”

Foellinger Auditorium was packed with insect enthusiasts to celebrate the 30th annual Insect Fear Film Festival, sponsored by the entomology department.

The event was called “The Ins-X Files,” and Chris Carter, creator of the science fi ction series “The X-Files,” spoke at the event and answered audience questions after screenings of his productions.

“I always try to accept all the invitations I get to stuff that honors ‘The X-Files’ because it was something I worked very hard on,” Carter said. “If people are willing to throw something in our honor, I’m more than happy to honor them by showing up.”

Other event attractions included a cock-roach petting zoo, an art competition with local K-12 students and face painting.

May Berenbaum , event organizer and head of the department of entomology, said she felt a special connection to one of the screened productions, an “X-Files” episode called “War of Coprophages.”

“I was just ecstatic when I asked Chris Cart-er to pick from the nine or so episodes that feature insects, and he picked ‘War of the Coprophages,’” she said. “The screenwriter had used some of the books I had written as background, and when it came time to name the entomologist in that episode, he thought ‘Berenbaum’ was a good name, so he used it.”

Berenbaum said the goal of the event was to dispel the fear of insects generated by media.

“Always our goal is for people to gain a deep-er appreciation of insects as they really are, which, as entomologists, we know is almost stranger than fi ction,” Berenbaum said.

CHICAGO — The candidates vying to replace former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. spent the weekend trying to mobilize their base as they head toward Tuesday’s special pri-mary election.

Fourteen Democrats and four Republicans are looking to face off for the 2nd Congressional District seat. Because the district — which stretches from Chicago’s south side to parts of Will and Kankakee coun-ties — is heavily Democratic, it’s likely the candidate who wins the Democratic primary also will take the April 9 general election.

Three Democrats are considered front runners — Chicago Alderman Anthony Beale, former Congress-

woman Debbie Halvorson and for-mer state Rep. Robin Kelly.

Halvorson, of south suburban Crete — spent much of Sunday in Kankakee and Will counties, two more Republican areas Halvorson won in her failed attempt to unseat Jackson in the 2012 Democratic primary.

Sean Howard, a spokesman for Halvorson, said the campaign “feels good” about turnout there in early voting. An unusually high number of voters are pulling Democratic primary ballots — a sign, Howard believes, that more conservative voters are bypassing the Republi-can primary to vote for Halvorson.

“We know where our base is, and we’re encouraged by that,” How-ard said.

Beale, meanwhile, was concen-trating on getting out the vote in Chicago, spokeswoman Delmarie Cobb said.

She said the highest turnout in the part of the district that’s in city has been in Beale’s ward and a nearby ward where Jackson’s wife, Sandi Jackson, served as alderman until she resigned in January. In the 2012 primary, more ballots were cast in those two wards than in the portions of the district that are in Will and Kankakee counties.

“If they voted, we’re hoping cer-tainly that they voted for (Beale),” Cobb said.

Kelly’s campaign spokesman, Jonathan Blair, said she was split-ting her time Sunday between the south suburbs and the city. He said

Kelly, of south suburban Matteson, has widespread support and isn’t relying more on any one area than another.

“There’s no place in the district where we don’t have a presence,” Blair said.

Jackson resigned his seat in November following a months-long leave of absence. He cited his ongo-ing treatment for bipolar disorder and said he was the target of a fed-eral investigation.

Earlier this month, he pleaded guilty in federal court to spending about $750,000 of campaign funds on personal items. Sandi Jackson pleaded guilty to fi ling false joint federal income tax returns that knowingly understated the couple’s income.

CHICAGO — Less than 24 hours after scream-ing out his innocence in court, Drew Peterson was transferred to an Illinois prison to begin serving his 38-year sentence for the murder of his third wife.

The former suburban Chicago police offi cer, whose case attracted widespread media attention and inspired a TV movie, entered the maximum-security Stateville prison outside Joliet early Fri-day. Prison offi cials said he was later transferred to another prison.

A judge sentenced him Thursday for the 2004 drowning death of his third wife, Kathleen Sav-io. He’s also a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. Savio’s death was origi-nally ruled an accident, but it was re-examined after Stacey Peterson vanished in 2007 and was eventu-ally ruled a homicide.

Peterson, 59, had faced up to 60 years in prison. He will get four years’ credit for time he already served in jail.

“I had prepared him for 60,” one of his attorneys, Joe Lopez, said Friday. “He felt good. ... He thought he might get more.”

Peterson will likely remain at a maximum-securi-ty facility because he was convicted of fi rst-degree murder, but his fame and status as a former police offi cer, which could make him a target of fellow inmates, may factor into a decision about where he is housed, Department of Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano said Friday.

She later confi rmed that after arriving at Stat-eville, which is also a processing center for new inmates, Peterson was taken about 60 miles south-west to the prison in Pontiac. No details were provided.

Appearing calm as he sat to address the judge at Thursday’s sentencing, the usually calm Peterson suddenly exploded. Looking at Savio’s family, he leaned into a microphone and shouted, “I did not kill Kathleen!” He then made a 30-minute state-ment, during which he cried, shook uncontrollably and stopped several times to regain his composure.

At one point, he challenged the lead prosecutor, Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, to look him in the eyes. Glasgow laid down his pen, fold-ed his arms and looked straight back at Peterson.

“Never forget what you’ve done here,” Peter-son told him, his eye narrowing. Glasgow later told reporters that Peterson’s scream gave everyone in court a glimpse at the “psychopath” who killed Savio.

On Friday, Lopez said his client still believed he had been railroaded by Will County prosecutors.

“He is looking forward to getting out of Will Coun-ty,” Lopez said.

Drew Peterson begins serving his sentence

BY JOHN O’CONNORTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD — The emerg-ing threat of at least 30,000 Illi-nois state employees striking might seem extreme, but union leaders say they’re serious-ly considering the prospect as contract talks have stalemated amid an overall state government fi nancial picture that is equally extreme.

Illinois remains mired in a fi scal quagmire that includes a crushing $96 billion defi cit in public-worker pension systems and a festering $9 billion back-log of unpaid bills to service providers.

That’s the backdrop for ongo-ing negotiations between Dem-ocratic Gov. Pat Quinn and the state’s largest union, the Ameri-can Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which often fi nds itself on the defensive at a time when organized labor across the country has suffered losses. AFSCME has futilely fought against facility closures, appealed to the courts to enforce raises promised in 2011 and has little to show for more than a year of contract talks to replace one that expired eight months ago.

Negotiators are expected to sit for another round of talks this week. But if progress continues to elude them, AFSCME leaders may decide it’s time to “call the question” and ask members to vote on authorizing a work stop-page, executive director Henry Bayer said. Union leaders raised the prospect of a strike in a letter to members last week.

“People are getting to the point where they’re so angry and so frustrated that they think, what’s the use of sitting down with these folks every two or three weeks if

nothing’s going to change?” Bay-er said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Since the 1973 advent of col-lective bargaining in Illinois, there’s never been a state employ-ee strike, Bayer said.

“But we’ve never had an employer that’s been so obstinate and made such extreme demands on our members as this one,” he added.

The prospect of a strike can be a classic negotiating tactic to pressure Quinn’s administration. How the governor responds may depend on more than the state’s fi nancial woes; the Democrat tra-ditionally has been seen as a pro-gressive and a friend of unions, but he may decide that a tough stance is worth the risk if it means taxpayer support during next year’s re-election campaign.

The governor would not answer an AP reporter’s question last week about his administration’s plan in case of a walkout, say-ing only, “Yeah, you’re always prepared.”

Quinn, who AFSCME says initially sought signifi cant wage reductions, now wants work-ers to accept a multi-year wage freeze while swallowing chang-es in health care coverage that Bayer contends would cost each employee an additional $10,000 over a three-year contract.

“It’s important that I push for the taxpayers of Illinois,” Quinn told reporters last week in Springfi eld. “Everyone knows we have a tough fi nancial time in the state of Illinois, so we have to make some adjustments from what may have happened in the past, but I think the union under-stands that.”

AFSCME has offered a one-year wage freeze, but wants

Quinn to honor pay increases the union agreed to delay in 2011 to save the state money. Quinn has refused to pay 5.25 percent due union employees in the fi s-cal year that ended June 30. A Cook County judge ordered the state to ante up, but Quinn’s offi ce appealed that ruling in January.

Union membership totals 40,000 — four-fi fths of the state-employed workforce. Illinois law prohibits strikes by security workers — in AFSCME’s case, thousands of prison guards and offi cers at juvenile detention facilities. But a walkout could include thousands of child-abuse investigators, attendants who care for elderly and infi rm mili-tary veterans and those who care for the developmentally disabled.

A widespread, state-employee labor action in Illinois — one of fewer than a dozen states where it’s legal for public employees to strike — would be unprece-dented both here and national-ly, said Martin Malin, director of the Institute for Law and the Workplace at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law. A private-sector strike is designed to disrupt a company’s income, but in govern-ment contract disputes, a work stoppage is a political weapon, he said.

“It would be very, very high-risk on both sides,” said Malin.

He referred to several bit-ter issues pending between the Quinn administration and the union: the pay-raise litigation, a bill recently sent to Quinn for approval that restricts collective bargaining rights and Quinn’s decision last fall to stop extend-ing the union contract as talks continued — a move that has been mostly symbolic, but demoraliz-ing for workers.

“The disputes between the gov-ernor’s offi ce and AFSCME are far broader than what the next contract’s going to look like,” Malin said.

In terms of sheer numbers, an AFSCME strike would not be much bigger than the 26,000 strikers from the Chicago Public Schools last fall, said Bob Bruno, director of the Labor Education Program at the University of Illi-nois at Chicago.

But a teacher, a highly infl uen-tial adult in a child’s life outside home, might have an easier time explaining why he or she has to

stop working than a bureaucrat in a sometimes-amorphous desk job.

“That eighth-grade elementary school teacher, people just love them,” Bruno said. “Whereas teachers have this public profi le, the nondescript, hardworking people behind counters some-where, reading a fi le, address-ing a complaint — people never come in contact with them.”

On the other hand, Bruno ques-tioned whether any governor would want to campaign for re-election on a government shut-down brought on by a strike, no

matter how diffi cult the state’s fi scal picture.

An AFSCME strike wouldn’t necessarily be limited to the union’s own workers. Bayer believes members of other unions generally have the right to refuse to cross an AFSCME picket line.

AFSCME does not represent any of the approximately 3,700 employees at the secretary of state’s offi ce. But the Service Employees International Union covers 2,450 employees, includ-ing those who license facilities — a major point of contact for taxpayers.

Union’s 30,000 state employees consider strike amid stalemate

SETH PERLMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Union members, supporters and labor leaders boo Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn on Governor’s Day at the Illinois State Fair in Springfi eld on Aug. 15. As Quinn and the largest state employees’ union remain deadlocked on a contract agreement, the AFSCME has begun preparing its members for a possible strike.

ever choice you make, so it’s a very nervous process.

DI: What was your major inspiration behind “The X-Files”?CC: There were many inspira-tions. One of the big ones was a show that was on when I was a kid. It was called “Kolchak: The Night Stalker .” It really wasn’t all that much like “The X-Files,” but it was scary and I wanted to do something as scary as “Night Stalker.”

DI: There are people from across the United States who came here to see you speak. When you fi rst started “The X-Files,” did you feel like it would become as big as it is now?CC: No. It’s still amazing and surprising to me. It’s really one of the reasons we come to these things. Because when we were working on this show so

hard for all those years, you really kept your head down. You worked really hard, and this is for me the wonderful result, a product of all that hard work. It’s a really nice thing.

DI: Not many people know that Vince Gilligan , creator of “Breaking Bad,” was a writer for your show. What do you make of his recent success?CC: I couldn’t be a bigger fan. He’s created a masterpiece, and it’s not surprising to me because he’s one of the most original and bright minds in our business.

DI: What shows are you watching now?CC: I’ve been watching “Break-ing Bad.” I just watched the 13 episodes of “House of Cards,” which just came on Netfl ix. I went back and watched fi ve years of “The Wire” recently, which was great. I just watched the pilot to “The Americans,”

which I thought was good. I tend to go with something I like that’s been on before and watch it all, it’s just how I do it.

DI: What projects do you have going? What are your plans for the future?CC: I have something with Showtime that might go this year. I’m talking to AMC about a possible television series.

DI: So what do you do with your free time?CC: Well, I work really hard. When you’re in production on a TV show or two, you couldn’t be any busier. There’s not a moment in the day where you can goof off. So now I have moments in the day where I can kind of goof off right now, which is a luxury in my busi-ness, and I’m enjoying all those moments before I go into pro-duction again.

“People don’t eat because they (don’t want to) feel something,” Johnston said. “They eat because of the feeling they don’t want to feel.”

She said it is important for peo-ple with eating disorders to fi gure out the feelings behind their body image in order to recover from the disorder.

One attendee of the presentation, Sarah McLean, junior in Business,

said she had known about eating disorders for a long time but fi rst learned about this method of treat-ment on Friday.

“I don’t have eating disorders, but I can see how it hurts people I know,” she said. “I’ll totally think about how I feel before I eat any-thing from now on.”

She said it is important for peo-ple with eating disorders to know what they are going through and what recovery looks like.

Rachel Storm , assistant direc-tor of the Women’s Resources

Center, which hosted the event, said there will be a series of pre-sentations, workshops and dis-cussions announced this week.

The next event will be anoth-er presentation by Johnston on “Breaking Free From Struggles with Food, Fat and Dieting” on Monday from noon to 1 p.m. at the Women’s Resources Center, 703 S. Wright St., on the second fl oor.

Sarah Eastham, junior in Edu-cation, who won the women’s race with an end time of 27 minutes and 36 seconds, agreed and said it was at the sandbag portion of the race that she noticed she had lost the other runners.

“They handed me the sandbag, and I just thought, ‘Oh gosh, I don’t

know if I can carry this the whole time,’” Eastham said. “I honestly didn’t think I was the fi rst woman by any means.”

Maggie Kealy, event coordinator and junior in LAS, said the race was a success despite some concerns about the weather and safety.

“I was actually really surprised at how well it went,” Kealy said. “With the snow and the ice...I was a little worried that...people would trip or fall or get hurt ... But that

didn’t happen.”With the donation already award-

ed to the Wounded Warrior Proj-ect through PayPal, Kealy said they have already started think-ing about next year’s event. She said she hopes to attract more par-ticipants, especially those not in ROTC, which made up the largest participant group this year.

Everybody knows somebody.This statement is, if

anything, vague, and it can apply to just about anything. Sometimes it’s positive: Everybody knows somebody who’s climbed on top of our famous granite base with two other friends and pretended to be Alma.

But sometimes, this mantra gets a little dark. Everybody knows somebody who’s had their heart broken. Everybody knows somebody who’s had a grandparent die. Everybody knows somebody who has an invisible disability, one that affects their core emotionally or mentally, one that’s tough to spot, and that society refuses to talk about.

It just so happens that this premise — that everyone knows somebody — is the motto for this year’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

NEDA Week, which starts Monday is a tricky one. It’s not a week that puts you in a constant good mood, like finals week when you have no finals. But it’s something you can gear up for. It’s not a holiday, but I’d argue that it’s more important than Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day put together.

But NEDA Week is especially tricky because of the way we look at eating disorders. It’s not something that’s proper to talk about in mixed company. We would rather talk about our diets, but not the dark extremes of

dieting. The mention of anorexia, bulimia or binge eating makes us squeamish; these are terms that quickly come out of our mouth like wildfire, before we cover them up with a nervous pause and a change of topic. And that shouldn’t be the case, because the numbers argue otherwise.

According to a 2006 survey done by the National Eating Disorders Association nearly 20 percent of 1,000 college students — guys and girls — have an eating disorder. We don’t often see the eating disorders because they are invisible, and we don’t talk about the issue. But that doesn’t mean many students in college, on this very campus, don’t struggle with it.

I know. Because I’ve wrestled with that struggle before.

I was once a mess of distorted body image, of issues projected into the physical realm, of urgent food intake and late nights doing that last sit-up to purge off fat. I went from casually thinking I wasn’t good enough to hating my body to not taking care of it. Instead of focusing on the 20 pounds of self-doubt and self-loathing I needed to shed, I focused on the 20 pounds of body weight I wanted to shed. Dangerously.

The point of me digging up the past now is that I only started to get better once people around me started to have difficult conversations about my health, and me getting help. My wonderful, wonderful friends and family started to take notice. And when that wasn’t enough, they began to question, began to ask how I was doing, began to get real with me about getting counseling. And it was only through their honest conversations that I began

to gain some semblance of me again.

How I felt about adding my story also shows how we perceive eating disorders. I originally wanted to delete these three previous paragraphs, going through my internal struggle: Will people think I’m sharing because I want attention? Will I get strange looks; will people see me as someone with a huge weakness? Will I be judged for sharing my difficult past? I finally just closed my eyes, added the darn story in and dealt with it. Because it would be hypocritical not to, because it’s a problem we can’t afford not to address.

NEDA Week is a week that we should not ignore on our campus, and eating disorders and other major emotional or mental invisible disorders shouldn’t be packed away, purposely ignored and forgotten. But all day, every day, we should keep fighting the good fight. We should check up on our loved ones that we know need help, and the loved ones that we suspect need help. We should remove judgment from those who are struggling and take the time to learn about the struggle for what it really is. And we should never forget to tell our friends that they’re beautiful, our young cousins that they don’t need to look like Miranda Kerr or Channing Tatum or ourselves that we are perfect.

It’s time to stop the silence and start the conversation, no matter how difficult, awkward, nerve-wracking or hard it might be. Because everybody knows somebody.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

My department has recommended abolishing its foreign language requirement for Ph.D. candidates.

Hooray! Yippee!Oh wait, I already took the

French exam.Dang it.This announcement (not yet

made official by the College of LAS) has nonetheless brought cheers to the lips of many first- and second-year graduate students. In much the same way that a snow day brings cheers to students of all ages.

It means less work, obviously.But does it also mean that

the Ph.D. program is less effective? After all, the stringent requirements we place on obtaining a degree would be reduced.

In the mathematics department, the language requirement consists entirely of one exam, proving your proficiency in a language other than English.

When I sat down to take mine, I was facing about four pages out of a French textbook with an hour’s worth of time to translate them. At my side were a French grammar, a basic English-French dictionary and a dictionary of scientific terms in four different

languages. The idea was to replicate conditions under which an academic might want to translate an article as part of their research.

Except those conditions are outdated. I’ve translated articles from French, German, Russian and Portuguese all without the aid of printed dictionaries. Instead, I used Google Translate or one of the half-dozen other online dictionaries, which are faster and generally more accurate.

Translating online still requires some skill, especially because jargon translates very badly: The mathematical notion of a “field” has nothing to do with “an open land free of woods and buildings.” But the skill required is so minimal compared with using printed dictionaries that it seems rather silly to test for it.

So, rather than adopt the language test to include online resources, the department has argued to drop it altogether.

In fact, English has become the lingua franca for many academic communities, much as Latin was in times past.

There are still fields where English is not the dominant language, but at least in mathematics it tends to be. I’ve co-authored papers with a Romanian, a Russian and a Frenchman, all without knowing Romanian, Russian or French.

So a second language is certainly not a necessity for academic work, but I would still encourage anyone considering a life in academia to pick up

the basics of a second language anyway.

As it is, yes, if there is a particular paper I want to read in French, I can sit down with Google Translate, spend a reasonable amount of time with it and come away with a good understanding. But I cannot, with my rudimentary understanding, browse a list of titles and abstracts and hope to make heads or tails of any of it without Googling every word. The amount I would find useful, given the time I would devote to translating, is painfully small.

So if I’m reading a French paper, it’s often only because an English paper pointed me to it in the first place; and native English speakers tend to refer our friends or colleagues to other English-based works. There might be a treasure trove of work out there (not to mention TV shows, music and whatnot that I might enjoy outside of work) that I simply never see because my English-speaking community is so insulated from the French-speaking community.

In the absence of a language test itself, this may be one of the best things any department can do for its students: to break down the linguistic bubbles we wrap ourselves in and foster collaboration and communication across the language barrier.

That alone would make me want to cheer “Ô Jour frabbejeais! Calleau! Callai!”

Heed the lesson of the Motor City

Multilingualism: Useful but not necessary

EDITORIAL CARTOON SARAH GAVIN THE DAILY ILLINI

End the silence on eating disorders

What if one year, the more than 40,000 students who inhabit this campus did not return?

The professors, staff and other Uni-versity employees would no longer have jobs. On top of that, local busi-ness owners and employees would lose large portions of their clientele — especially those on campus.

Unemployment would increase and have disastrous effects throughout the community. Crime and homeless-ness would skyrocket, and communi-ty morale would plummet. Over time, many people — especially families — would feel the need to move away to a land of better opportunity and less crime. And those would just be the direct effects on citizens.

The cities of Champaign and Urba-na would face institutional woes linked to the increased crime and poverty such as losses in tax rev-enue, increased police costs and an inability to attract new businesses to the area. The loss of such a massive chunk of the population would, to say the least, destroy this community at all levels.

This most unlikely hypothetical couldn’t be possible.

Well, unfortunately, the city of Detroit has experienced this tragic decline to a more devastating degree. Unlike the scenario outlined above, the situation in Detroit did not hap-pen overnight. In the 1950s the city’s population hovered around 1.8 mil-lion people. Today, that number has shrank to a mere 713,000. The popula-tion drop is unprecedented for such a major U.S. city. In fact, when it comes to physical size, Detroit could fit Bos-ton, San Francisco and the island of Manhattan inside of it.

Last week, it was announced that Detroit is on the verge of finan-cial ruin and may need to file for bankruptcy.

But wait, wasn’t this issue resolved? Didn’t Mitt Romney catch flack last fall for writing a 2008 op-ed about letting Detroit go bankrupt? And didn’t President Obama capi-talize on Romney’s stance by laud-ing his own efforts to bail out the auto companies in Detroit? During the campaign, Joe Biden could often be heard shouting his stump speech catch phrase, “Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!” Notice he never said, “And Detroit is alive!”

In retrospect, this word choice was intentional because the municipality of Detroit is anything but “alive.”

There is no single cause of Detroit’s downfall, but the vicious cycle began with economic issues. After Detroit was no longer a booming, prosper-ous hub for automotive production, the population began to decrease. The direct result was more widespread economic issues across other indus-tries. And as that happened, crime continued to increase.

The result is a wasteland of crime, poverty and, worst of all, a lack of hope.

While this scenario would be jaw-dropping if it occurred overnight, the fact that it has been happening for decades is more shocking. Year after year, no company, politician or lead-er has been able to revive this once-booming industrial city. On top of that, the country as a whole does not understand what is happening there because no one is talking about it.

In 2012, Detroit saw 386 homicides compared with approximately 500 in Chicago. At a glance, this would make you think Chicago is facing more severe crime problems. How-ever, Chicago’s population outsizes Detroit’s by approximately 2 million people, which means that Detroit’s homicide rate in context is much worse.

No one is talking about it, though.While reflecting on some of these

facts, it hit me that the issues Detroit is facing could have been aided or avoided if it received the attention of our country’s media, government and people. Instead, the federal govern-ment has chosen to spend $443 billion in Afghanistan alone between 2001 and 2011. I cannot say this amount of money should have gone directly into rebuilding Detroit. That said, it seems ludicrous that the United States gov-ernment would allow itself to spend that much money building democracy abroad as a once-great American hub of capitalism and industry disinte-grated into a wasteland.

Whether or not the city of Detroit files for bankruptcy this week, we must wake up to what is happening to our fellow citizens.

If the city that was once the fifth largest in the country and richest per capita can turn into what looks like a tattered warzone, there is no telling what can happen to the rest of us.

E!"#$%"&'Making tax-funded

research widely available a great win for

American publicJOHN BUYSSEOpinions columnist

JOSEPH VANDEHEYOpinions columnist

TOLU TAIWOOpinions columnist

Unless you are a student or a faculty member at a large University, you may not have easy access to the plethora of academic arti-

cles and journals available. The good news is that the federal gov-ernment is looking to change that.

The White House on Friday said that after a “We the People” petition with over 65,000 signa-tures, the Obama administration would be “committed to ensuring that the results of federally-fund-ed scientific research are made available to and useful for the public, industry, and the scientif-ic community.” And we couldn’t agree more.

Because the federal govern-ment’s funding is responsible for so much of the research produced in this country, releasing the information for the public to view is, if anything else, a measure of accountability.

By allowing this research to be publicly available for free, those not affiliated with large research universities — or any research institution — will have an easi-er time accessing information. Beyond that, many smaller uni-versities may not be able to afford the high costs to subscribe to the large digital libraries, like JSTOR or EBSCO, for example.

Because of the lack of subscrip-tions, JSTOR denies over 100 mil-lion people access to the content that it stores.

While these kinds of articles may become more accessible as a result of action from the Obama administration, that doesn’t change the complex language used in them. Because the research-ers write their articles for other academics in their field, they are littered with jargon that can be unintelligible to the general citi-zen looking to this research for information.

For the students who have to use the articles contained in these journals for even the most basic of research papers, the language can be difficult to understand and accurately report in a paper.

Often the information in these journals quickly affects the policy of the day, it becomes even more crucial that a voting public have access to this kind of information.

When you consider that most if not all research is pursued sim-ply to advance human knowledge without monetary gain, releas-ing research articles to the gen-eral public for free begins to seem all the more sensible. The way research works in this coun-try, journals, especially the big ones, are the ones making money. Although these journals set the standard for acceptable research with good research designs and conclusions to match, they do so at a high price for those who want to read them.

At that, most articles are peer-reviewed, meaning that the arti-cles published in these journals get the bulk of their editing and revisions from fellow research-ers, who ensure the quality of the research.

But if money is still a concern, journals can still profit from dis-seminating the research: The arti-cles need only be released for free within a year of publication.

Despite the difficulty for many to understand the research pub-lished though, the move toward a more accountable spending of tax dollars can only be commended, especially if it allows more people to read what is developed in this country’s research institutions.

Where’s the beef? Major drop in cattle reshaping industry

BY ROXANA HEGEMANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WICHITA, Kan. — Years of drought are reshaping the U.S. beef industry with feedlots and a major meatpacking plant closing because there are too few cattle left in the United States to sup-port them.

Some feedlots in the nation’s major cattle-producing states have already been dismantled, and others are sitting empty. Operators say they don’t expect a recovery anytime soon, with high feed prices, much of the country still in drought and a long time needed to rebuild herds.

The closures are the latest rip-ple in the shockwave the drought sent through rural communities. Most cattle in the U.S. are sent to feedlots for fi nal fattening before slaughter.

The dwindling number of ani-mals is also hurting meatpack-ers, with their much larger workforces. For consumers, the impact will be felt in grocery and restaurant bills as a smaller meat supply means higher prices.

Owner Bob Podzemny has been taking apart the 32,000-head Union County Feed Yard near Clayton, N.M. It closed in 2009 when a bank shut off its operating capital in the midst of the fi nan-cial crisis, and Podzemny said he doesn’t see reopening after struggling through Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

“There just are not that many

cattle in this part of the country no more, and it is not profi table to bring them in and feed them, so it is shut down,” Podzemny said.

He’s now feeding a few cattle in another feedlot, buying them at about 450 pounds and grow-ing them to 800 to 850 pounds. He then sells them to others who bring them to the typical 1,200- to 1,300-pound slaughter weight.

“It is making a little money now on just growing feeders and sell-ing them as feeders rather than fi nishing them all the way out,” Podzemny said. “We do what we got to do to survive, you know.”

Cattle numbers have been fall-ing for years as the price of corn used to feed animals in feedlots skyrocketed. The drought accel-erated the process, but many feedlots were able to survive at fi rst because ranchers whose pas-tures dried up weaned calves ear-ly and sent breeding cows to be fattened for slaughter.

But now far fewer livestock than normal remain on the farms. And, ironically, if it rains this spring and summer, even few-er animals will go into feedlots because ranchers will hold back cows to breed and rebuild their herds.

Texas, the largest beef-produc-ing state, has been particularly hard hit with a historic drought in 2011 from which it still hasn’t fully recovered.

“Most of the bad news is in Texas,” said Dick Bretz, an Ama-rillo broker who specializes in selling feed yards and other agri-businesses. “That is where I see most of the empty yards. That is where I see most of the interest in selling yards and where I see the least interest in buying yards.”

He recently dismantled a 7,000-head feed yard in Here-ford, Texas, for a new owner who had bought it for the land, not the business.

No response in the tech worldElectronic communications often leave users feeling snubbedBY MARTHA IRVINETHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Technology is sup-posed to make us easier to reach, and often does. But the same modes of communication that have hooked us on the instant reply also can leave us feeling forgotten.

We send an email, a text or an instant chat message. We wait — and nothing happens. Or we make a phone call. Leave a voicemail message. Wait. Again, nothing.

We tend to assume it’s a snub, and sometimes it is.

These days, no response can mean a lot of things. Maybe some people don’t see messages because they prefer email and you like Twitter. Maybe we’re just plain overwhelmed, and can’t keep up with the constant barrage of communication.

Whatever the reason, it’s caus-ing a lot of frustration. A recent

survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 39 percent of cell phone own-ers say people they know com-plain because they don’t respond promptly to phone calls or text messages.

“Tell me to go to hell, but just tell me something! I’m getting lone-ly over here.” That’s what Cherie Kerr, a public relations executive in Santa Ana, Calif., jokes she’s considered putting after her email signature.

“That’s where the frustration lies — it’s in the ambiguity,” says Susannah Stern, a professor of communication studies at San Diego State University.

Though we often assume the worst, experts say we shouldn’t.

Frequently, they say, people simply — and unknowingly — choose the wrong way to contact someone.

As she sees it, getting no response — even when she’s the one unsuccessfully trying to contact someone — is just part of life in a high-tech world. “I think there’s this under-standing because we’ve grown up being bombarded by commu-nication,” says Mike Gnitecki, a 28-year-old special education teacher in Longview, Texas.

Those types of missed commu-nications — and a lack of response — can cause “turbulence” in a relationship, says Dan Faltesek, an assistant professor of social media at Oregon State Universi-ty. But, he adds, that’s not neces-sarily a bad thing.

“It can be a little awkward, but you should talk to people about how you like to talk,” Faltesek says. “Everyone will be happi-er when they say what the rules are.”

The answer: No. But a lot of young people seem to think so, and the authors of a study are blaming toys like Barney and other pop infl uences for that misconception.

Scientists used to think T. rex stood tall, but they abandoned that idea decades ago. Now, the ferocious dinosaur is depicted in a bird-like posture, tail in the air and head pitched forward of its two massive legs.

The change led major museums to update their T. rex displays, study authors said, and popular books have largely gotten the posture right since around 1990. So did the “Jurassic Park” movies.

But when the researchers asked college students and children to draw a T. rex, most gave it an upright posture instead. Why? They’d soaked up the wrong idea from toys like Barney, games and other pop culture items, the researchers conclude.

“It doesn’t matter what they see in science books or even in ‘Jurassic Park,’” says Warren Allmon, a paleontology professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., and an author of the study.

It struck him when he saw a box of dinosaur chick-en nuggets at a grocery store.

“What they grew up with on their pajamas and their macaroni and wallpaper and everything else is the tail-dragging posture,” he said.

If the explanation is correct, Allmon said, it’s a sobering reminder of how people can get wrong ideas about science. The study will be published in the Journal of Geoscience Education.

The authors examined 316 T. rex drawings made by students at Ithaca College and children who vis-ited an Ithaca museum. Most of the college students weren’t science majors.

Seventy-two percent of the college students and 63 percent of the children drew T. rex as being too upright. Because the sample isn’t representative of the general population, the results don’t necessar-ily apply to young people in general.

T. rex misconceptions abound, according to new Cornell study

Last weekend, in the CSCHL Tournament, the Illinois hock-ey team couldn’t muster any offense and was held scoreless for the first time of the season.

The Illini had no such trou-bles this weekend.

Illinois (25-11-2) swept East-ern Michigan in its final games before the national tournament, as well as the last home con-tests for five Illinois seniors. The Illini earned a 6-4 victory Friday and held on for an 8-5 win Saturday on senior night.

Coming off of a disappointing exit in the conference tourna-ment, No. 7 Illinois was looking to get back into form against an unranked Eastern Michigan squad. In Friday’s game, how-ever, the Eagles gave the Illi-ni all they could handle, rac-ing out to a quick lead in the first period. Despite only five shots on net in the period, two went in, including a short-hand-ed goal by Bryan Kozlowski,

his first goal in what would be a monster weekend for the forward.

“I think everything they got (Friday), we gave them,” forward Austin Bostock said. “When we gave them those chances, they capitalized.”

The Illini would tie the game before the period ended, with goals from center John Olen and forward Kyle Varzino to even the score 2-2.

Kozlowski tallied two more goals in the period, including his second short-handed goal of the night. The Eagles and the Illini traded goals in the second to keep the score tied.

The turning point in the game would be when Kozlows-ki elbowed senior defenseman Chad Himley into the boards five minutes into the third peri-od. Himley was down on the ice for a few minutes but skated back to the bench under his own power.

Kozlowski was dealt a five-minute major and a game mis-

conduct, effectively taking out Eastern Michigan’s offensive threat.

Bostock notched the go-ahead goal just after return-ing to even strength, and cen-ter Eddie Quagliata buried an insurance goal with two min-utes to go to reach the 6-4 final. The Illini dominated the shots on goal category, outshooting the Eagles 59-22 for the game.

“In the third period, when we needed to dig deep and play strong, defensive hockey, we did,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “That’s the effort we need consistently.”

In the finale, senior night fes-tivities preluded the game, as five seniors were recognized on the ice. It was those five who started the game, a line that was not only sentimental but surprisingly productive.

On the first shift, forward Barera took a feed from Nick Stuercke and buried a goal

Illini end regular season with a sweep on home ice

BY LARRY LAGETHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Illi-nois started strong and seemed to be setting itself up for anoth-er impressive win after defeat-ing top-ranked Indiana, Gonza-ga, Butler and Ohio State earlier this season.

The Fighting Illini, though, were flat in the second half and No. 7 Michigan took advantage.

Trey Burke had 26 points and eight assists to help the Wolver-ines bounce back to beat Illinois 71-58 Sunday.

Illini coach John Groce said Michigan won because its team was tougher and smarter.

“It’s unacceptable,” Groce said. “It’s intolerable.”

The Fighting Illini (20-9, 7-8 Big Ten) had won five straight, a run that started Feb. 7 by knocking off the Hoosiers, and were lead-ing the Wolverines (23-4, 10-4 Big Ten) by as much as eight points in the first half.

Michigan outscored Illinois 43-27 in the second half after

Groce pleaded with his team to learn from its recent history.

“Coach talked to us at halftime about how we came out strong in the second half and beat Indiana, and how we came out flat and lost to Michigan State,” forward Tyler Griffey recalled. “We all listened, and then we came out and played like that in the second half. They really amped up the intensity and we didn’t respond at all.”

Brandon Paul played a key role in helping the Illini lead 31-28 at halftime — scoring a game-high 10 points in the first half — and was one of the reasons they couldn’t keep up the pace. Paul was held scoreless in a shotless second half.

“I’m not so concerned about him scoring as I am about our team scoring,” Groce insisted. “Teams are trying to take him away, guys have to step up.”

That didn’t happen.Illinois had just two other scor-

Men’s track grabs 2nd at Big TensBY DAN ESCALONASTAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s track and field team trailed Wisconsin by 1.5 points heading into the final event this weekend, but Stephon Pamilton of the 4x400 meter squad tripped on the final lap to derail Illinois’ comeback effort.

For the majority of the week-end, the Illini were neck-in-neck with four Big Ten opponents: Nebraska, Minnesota, Penn State and eventual champions Wisconsin. But Illinois’ Pamil-ton lost his footing in the final event and the relay squad did not finish, leading to the Illini’s second-place finish at the Big Ten Championships in Geneva, Ohio.

“That last turn was a very tough turn of events for us,” Pamilton said. “We had a great race going until things outside of our control happened. Unfor-tunately, we can’t go back and

redo that final lap, so we have move on and learn from it.”

Though his meet ended on a difficult note, he made a major contribution to the Illinois’ effort earlier Saturday. In the 400-meter dash, he recorded a time of 46.07 seconds en route to the conference crown in the event.

Pamilton and fellow sprinter Brandon Stryganek both won the individual titles in their respective events, allowing the Illini to boast its best finish in the conference meet since 2000.

“I thought we had a great meet and exceeded the expec-tations we had at the start of the indoor season,” head coach Mike Turk said. “The guys came with a ton of energy and were well-prepared to put us in a position to win. We came up a bit short at the end with the 4x400, but sometimes things don’t always go your way.”

Stryganek finished the 60 meters with a time of 6.71 sec-onds, third fastest in school his-tory, in the event to take home the title. He also nearly came away with a victory in the 200, only to finish second in the event, losing by .04 seconds.

“I just did my job, what I’ve done all season, and it was great to see the team step it up,” Stryganek said. “Nobody expected to even come close to second place, so it was great to see everyone bring their best and show the conference what we are made of.”

Other events that scored points for the Illini were pole vaulting and the 60-meter hur-dles. Pole vaulters Matt Bane and Cody Klein finished second and third, respectively. In the hurdles, Vanier Joseph placed second to capture points for the

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The Illinois women’s track and field team turned in a quali-ty performance Saturday to win the 2013 Big Ten Indoor Cham-pionship for the first time since 1996.

The Illini recorded 115 points to win the two-day competi-tion, garnering six titles, two of which were from individu-al performances by sophomore standout Ashley Spencer.

The Indianapolis native was victorious in the 200-meter dash and the 400 meters, cross-ing the finish line in 23.30 sec-onds — a season best — and 52.17 seconds, respectively. Her 400-meter time set a meet record.

Spencer was also part of the title-winning 4x400-meter relay team that included Asia Thom-as — who finished third in the

400 — Morolake Akinosun and Marissa Golliday, which held its title from last year and set a school record with a time of 3:33.30.

“Everyone is really excited from today’s outcome,” head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey said in a statement. “This is what we’ve been training for all year. It was great to see everyone stepping up to the plate and doing what they said they would. There were so many records set. ... It’s hard to pick out one person because it was an entire team effort.”

Nebraska and Michigan came in second and third with 112 and 89 points, respectively.

Akinosun, a freshman, won the 60-meter dash with a career-best time of 7.32 seconds, good for fourth-best in program his-tory. She also placed second in

the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.47 seconds, the third-fast-est time in school history.

Junior Samantha Murphy con-tributed 14 team points during the conference championships, placing second in the 800 and third in the 600. She finished the 800 with a time of 2:05.51. Mur-phy, who set the school record in the 600 on Friday, crossed the line in that race with a time of 1:29.61 on Saturday.

Junior Breeana Coleman won the Big Ten title in the 60-meter hurdles, winning her first con-ference title in a season-best time of 8.20. Junior Jesica Eje-sieme placed third in the event in 8.28.

In long distance, senior Courtney Yaeger finished the 5,000 in 16:40.09, which was the best time in her career and the fifth best in program history.

Illinois blows past Indiana, now tied for 3rd in Big TenBY MICHAEL WONSOVERSTAFF WRITER

After losing by 33 against Penn State on Wednesday, the Illinois women’s basketball team nev-er trailed against Indiana on Saturday.

In front of its highest paid crowd of the season with 3,088 fans, Illi-nois (16-10, 9-5 Big Ten) moved into a third-place tie in the Big Ten after a 73-60 victory over Indi-ana (11-16, 2-12). The win clinched Illinois’ first above-.500 record in the conference since the 2002-03 season.

“Third and fourth place get byes, which is huge going into the Big Ten Tournament,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. “Not that you can’t win four games in four days, but it certainly is taxing and very difficult. All of us want to be playing in the NCAA tour-nament, so with this win we guar-antee a top-six finish. This should give us a great shot at the NCAA tournament.”

Illinois improved its record to 9-1 in games after a loss this season.

“You learn a lot about a team the game after a loss,” Bollant said. “We’ve been really good through-out the year (after) games that we lost, especially a game like Penn State, where we didn’t play real well. We came out with great ener-gy and great confidence.”

Senior forward Karisma Penn led Illinois with 25 points, six rebounds and three steals. She also made several clutch jumpers down the stretch to fend off Indi-ana runs.

“Part of leading is making plays, and Karisma and I thought we did that throughout the second half,” Bollant said. “To go 10-for-14 from the field and make plays, get the ball in her hands a lot where she wanted it, (we were) really aggres-sive attacking the rim.”

Despite shooting 33.3 percent from the field against Penn State,

Illinois rebounded to shoot 47.3 percent from the floor against Indiana on two days rest. The Illini also forced 25 Indiana turnovers while mixing up the defensive strategy. Illinois usually starts in a man-to-man defense and then switches into the Buzz defense late in games, but against Indiana, the Buzz was used early going, a 2-2-1 full-court press also gave the Hoo-siers trouble advancing the ball.

“We wanted our team to be aggressive,” Bollant said. “To play that way you have to be aggressive. We wanted to see if we could get them on their heels a little bit to start, and I feel like we did.”

Although the Buzz rattled Indi-ana in the early going, Indiana head coach Curt Miller said Illi-nois’ man-to-man was even more effective.

“We struggled with their high-pressure man-to-man,” Miller said. “We did a nice job against the Buzz, their man-to-man pres-sure because they can switch 1-5 and they can pressure anywhere on the court with all five starters, they’re a really good man-to-man team. And that’s what’s underrat-ed. This myth about the Buzz that everyone writes about, their man-to-man is good and deserves a lot of credit.”

Illinois came out with the ener-gy it was missing in its last game against Penn State, beginning the contest on a 7-0 run.

By the under-16 minute media timeout, Illinois already led 11-3 and Indiana had yet to attempt a field goal inside the arc. The Hoo-siers struggled to make interior passes, already turning the ball over four times at that point.

“I thought we were a little bit hesitant when we first got start-ed tonight, a little bit on our heels and not a great first four minutes,” Miller said. “They came right after us with the Buzz.”

Indiana didn’t make its first two-point basket of the game until

senior guard Jasmine McGhee made a jumper at the 13:52 mark.

Illinois made four of its first five attempts from behind the arc after sophomore guard Ivory Crawford drained her second 3-pointer of the game with 13 minutes remaining in the half, expanding the Illini’s lead to 20-11.

Back-to-back buckets by senior forward Karisma Penn gave Illi-nois a 38-25 lead at the 3:39 mark.

Illinois entered halftime with its largest lead of the game at 42-28. While Illinois shot 53.8 percent from the field in the first half, Indi-ana shot only 37.5 percent.

Indiana entered Saturday’s game averaging 16.0 turnovers per game, but Illinois forced 16 miscues in the first half alone.

Penn led Illinois in the first half with 14 points, three rebounds and two steals, shooting 6-for-8 from the field. If not for McGhee’s 16 first-half points, making up for over half her team’s total, Indi-ana might have entered the break with an even bigger deficit.

Illinois started off the second half slow, not scoring until a Penn layup at the 16:25 mark. Indiana began the half on a 10-2 run after senior forward Linda Rubene made a layup to bring the Hoo-siers within six points at 44-38 with 15:44 remaining in the half.

With the score at 46-40, sopho-more guard Taylor Tuck nailed a 3-pointer off an assist from soph-omore guard Alexis Smith to put Illinois up nine with 14:41 remain-ing in the game.

Although the second half was tightly contested, with Indiana outscoring Illinois by one point, the Hoosiers were unable to bring the game within three possessions after Tuck’s shot. Illinois contin-ued to answer each Indiana run to maintain a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Baseball back over .500BY JAMAL COLLIERSTAFF WRITER

Illinois head coach Dan Hart-leb has shown he won’t hesitate to make changes when his team struggles. So after the Illini lost their third straight game Thurs-day, he decided to shake things up.

Whatever buttons he pushed, they seemed to work. Illinois (4-3) rebounded for three consecutive victories in the Keith LeClair Clas-sic to bring its record back over .500.

“It’s one of those things where we made some changes in the line-up, plugged some guys in at-bats, moved some guys down and want-ed to play mind games to get guys the opportunity and see if they can produce,” Hartleb said.

One of the encouraging things for the Illini was how they showed off their depth.

Illinois capitalized on Adam Walton’s RBI single and Michael Hurwitz’s two heads-up baserun-ning plays, turning them into runs against Ohio University on Friday. Also, catcher Kelly Norris-Jones stepped right in defensively and Will Krug filled in on the field and at designated hitter to hit .438 on the weekend.

As Hartleb tries to find what lineup combinations work best, he knows he is going to have a strong bench to take advantage of. That could come in handy with a lot of young players who are more prone to inconsistencies.

Hartleb is going to have to make room for sophomore David Keri-

an somewhere in the lineup. He started all weekend at first base and hit .571 with five RBI, includ-ing going 4-for-4 at the plate Fri-day, which he says is the first time he can remember himself having such a day.

“Just getting a chance to go out and get a start and get comfortable at the plate,” the sophomore said.

He’s getting his first opportuni-ty at first base and so far has han-dled it well and has yet to make an error. Hartleb was most impressed that he only struck out only once all weekend. Kerian got his chance because freshman Ryan Nagle, who started the season-opener, struggled and has yet to record his first hit of the season.

Illinois also pitched as well as it has all season. Freshmen starters Kevin Duchene and Nick Black-burn pitched their first career vic-tories Friday and Sunday, respec-tively. Sophomore John Kravetz returned to the rotation Saturday.

The freshmen seemed more at ease in their second start, espe-cially Blackburn, who threw 6 2/3 innings, allowing one unearned run and only five hits. Hartleb called his overall performance “night and day” compared with last week.

“The first start, my nerves defi-nitely got me a little more, but this start, I was more relaxed and I kept the ball down a lot more,” Blackburn said.

Illinois’ bullpen continues to be one of its strengths. The staff is led by Ronnie Muck, who in four appearances has yet to allow a run with opponents hit-ting .154 against him.

Illinois’ pitching staff com-bined for 19 strikeouts and

two walks during the final two games.

“We are a much better team (Sunday) than we were last weekend,” Hartleb said. “I was proud of the way our guys bat-tled back and kept their com-posure to get us back over .500. We have done a good job as a team of staying together and not panicking.”

Notre Dame wins 20th straight

BY ANDREW SELIGMANTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — The way Skylar Diggins was scoring and distrib-uting was impressive enough. The real eye-opener, though? That was the rebounding.

Diggins finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and No. 2 Notre Dame won its 20th straight, beating DePaul 84-56 on Sunday.

“I think the rebounding was the most amazing thing,” coach Muffet McGraw said. “The dou-ble-double for Sky is nothing out of the ordinary. She can get 10 assists and 10 points in a game, but to get in there and get 10 rebounds, that takes a lot of effort. That was tremendous intensity and determination on her part.”

Her teammates were locked in, too.

Jewell Loyd added 19 points. Kayla McBride scored 16, and the Fighting Irish (25-1, 13-0 Big East) cruised to another easy victory. Their only loss was to Baylor in early Decem-ber. DePaul (18-9, 7-6) never had a chance in this one.

Notre Dame took control right from the start, winning by 20 or more for the fourth straight game while sending the Blue Demons to their second straight blowout loss. The Fighting Irish still have some big hurdles to clear if they’re going to stay unbeaten in conference play, with Syracuse up next and Con-necticut looming in the finale after a trip to Providence. But they sure are looking good at the moment.

The Irish forced 21 turnovers and held DePaul to 33.3-percent shooting.

Diggins, Notre Dame’s sec-ond-leading all-time scorer, came through with her second career triple-double and the fourth in school history. She also had one against Maryland in the Elite Eight last season, the first for the Fighting Irish since 1990 and the 10 rebounds were one shy of her personal best.

“The assist part, I had the easy part,” Diggins said. “We got out in transition well and a lot of times we just played off of each other. ... A lot of (the rebounds) kind of bounced to me.”

Loyd hit 8 of 15 shots. McBride was 7 of 13 from the field. Nata-lie Achonwa add-ed 14 points and eight rebounds, and Notre Dame beat DePaul for the eighth time in nine games to tie the all-time series at 19 apiece.

It was anoth-er rough day for DePaul, which has been hit hard by injuries this season.

The team was coming off an 81-55 loss to Louisville.

“Notre Dame has great ath-leticism and quickness,” coach Doug Bruno said. “There’s no doubt about that. ... If the answer is they’re better than us, why are we selling tickets and showing up? It’s our job to figure out how to beat people that have all this talent and ath-leticism. That’s the beauty and joy of coaching this great game

of basketball, because it can be done. It’s not like our players weren’t fighting. I’m not trying to say they didn’t fight. It’s just been a blah bunch of games. We’re not about blah.”

Brittany Hrynko scored 15 points, but shot just 4 of 19, and the Blue Demons lost for the fourth time in six games.

It was clear right from the start that Notre Dame was sim-ply too quick, too athletic, and by the time the half ended, it was 40-17.

It didn’t help DePaul that leading scorer Anna Martin missed her eighth straight game because of a left knee injury.

“There’s no question they’re not the same without her,” McGraw said.

Even so, the Fighting Irish were simply on another level.

They smoth-ered DePaul on defense, turn-ing nine turn-overs by the Blue Demons into 14 points, and had their way on offense. Diggins scored 13 in the half, while McBride and Loyd poured in 12 apiece.

The Ir ish jumped out to a 14-4 lead with DePaul cough-

ing it up four times, and end-ed the half on a 10-0 run that Loyd capped by burying a 3 at the buzzer after some neat ball movement.

That’s how it was for Notre Dame. The Irish clicked all afternoon, and there was Dig-gins leading a balanced charge with one of her most impressive all-around performances.

Wrestling loses to No. 1 Oklahoma State 33-3 in 1st round of NCWA ChampionshipsBY DAN BERNSTEINSTAFF WRITER

The Illinois wrestling team lost to top-seeded Oklahoma State in the first round of the NWCA National Duals Championships.

“We need to finish matches,” head coach Jim Heffernan said. “It’s not a matter of condition-ing; it’s not a matter of training. A lot of it is self-confidence and a will to win.”

The meet started off with an Illini victory, as No. 3 Jesse Delgado knocked off Oklaho-ma State’s Eddie Kilmara in the 125-pound weight class. After Kilmara began the match with an early takedown to give him the 2-0 lead, Delgado responded with an escape to end the first period 2-1.

Delgado recorded another escape to open the second peri-od to tie the match at two head-ing into the final period. Kilma-ra chose down to begin the third and escaped before Delgado was recorded the winning takedown to give him the 4-3 victory and the Illini the early 3-0 lead.

Delgado’s victory proved to be the Illini’s lone win on the night. At 133 pounds, the Illi-ni’s No. 10 Daryl Thomas lost to No. 6 Jon Morrison by a 12-1 major decision before Steven Rodrigues fell by way of a 4-2 decision against Julian Feikert at 141 pounds.

The 149 and 157 pound match-es were no better for the Illini as No. 1 Jordan Oliver pinned No. 19 Caleb Ervin in 58 seconds before Alex Dieringer knocked off the Illini’s Matt Nora by a 14-5 major decision to increase the Cowboys’ lead to 17-3.

The 165-pound match between the Illini’s No. 7 Conrad Polz and the Cowboy’s No. 3 Tyler Caldwell ended in a 2-0 Caldwell victory. Caldwell recorded the only two points of the match with an escape and another point for riding time to capture the victory.

“I just didn’t compete well,” Polz said. “I should have opened up more and got to my offense. I let the match go where he want-ed it to go.”

No. 8 Jordan Blanton fought a tough seven minutes against Oklahoma State’s No 2. Chris Perry but fell by a 2-1 decision. Both Blanton and Perry record-ed escapes in the second period but the added riding time point gave Perry the win.

With three matches remain-ing and Oklahoma State hold-ing on to a 23-3 lead, the Cow-boys increased their overall lead with victories in the 184, 197 and heavyweight matches.

Oklahoma State’s No. 12 Chris Chionuma defeated No. 16 Tony Dallago by a 7-5 decision at 184 pounds and No. 11 Blake Rosholt won an overtime match against the Illini’s Mario Gonzalez, 6-3.

At heavyweight, the Cowboy’s No. 3 Alan Gelogaev finished off the meet with a 17-5 major deci-sion over Chris Lopez to give the Cowboy’s the 33-3 overall win.

The Illini will host the Big Ten Championships on March 9 and 10 at the Assembly Hall.

Kravetz returns to pitching staff after suspension

Illinois sophomore pitcher John Kravetz was one of Illinois’ best pitchers last year, leading the team in wins with eight — an Illinois freshman record — but he didn’t pitch during Illinois’ season-opening weekend.

Kravetz was suspended for his first start.

“It was tough. I made a kind of stupid mistake, and it was really tough,” Kravetz said. “Staying home watching the game on the GameTracker was something I never want to do again.”

Kravetz didn’t offer further details as to why he was suspended, but he did make his season debut Saturday.

He said he was a little overeager before the start, but picked up right where he left off last season.

He lasted 6 1/3 innings, recording five strikeouts and picking up a victory.

“Notre Dame has great athleticism and quickness. ... It’s our

job to figure out how to beat people that have all this talent and athleticism.”

Team goes 3-1 at Keith LeClair Classic; now 4-3

The Daily Illini | www.DailyIllini.com Monday, February 25, 2013 3B

BY NICHOLAS FORTINSTAFF WRITER

On a night when the Illinois women’s gymnastics team stum-bled, sophomore Sunny Kato stole the spotlight.

The No. 18 Illini scored above their season average on three of the four events, but still lost to No. 20 Ohio State 196.300-195.450.

“We had a lot of mistakes today, but all in all I think we handled them pretty well,” senior Alina Weinstein said.

Kato scored a 9.875 on bars and a 9.900 on beam good for two second-place finishes and kind words from head coach Kim Landrus.

“Sunny sets very high stan-dards for herself in the gym every day, and when she takes the competition floor, she holds herself accountable for her performanc-es,” Landrus said. “When she goes out there to compete, she means business. Today, she came through with two very, very clutch routines and I think it’s a direct result of the hard work that she’s been putting in every day.”

The Illini as a team didn’t have the best meet, which Weinstein said may have been because of practice.

“We had a really rough week in practice,” Weinstein said. “The energy was really low and we’re definitely a team that mim-ics what we do in practice, so it’s really hard to be confident of our gymnastics when we have a rough week in practice and we couldn’t put that past us.”

Illinois started the meet strong on bars, where Kato and junior Sarah Fiedler led the Illi-ni to a 48.950 team score and an early lead.

“We had a very strong bar rotation, we had a lot of stuck landings. We went in and real-ly did our job and we came out of bars with a lot of adrenaline and a lot of energy and feeling really well.”

The Illini moved to vault for their second rotation, their weakest event, without junior Amber See in the lineup. Illi-

nois posted a 48.325. Weinstein scored a 9.850 on vault, good for a second-place finish, but after two events the Illini had fallen behind the Buckeyes.

“I definitely think we can make a lot of improvements,” Wein-stein said. “Vault is the event that we struggle with every weekend, so we have to come into the gym and find a way to get back into the game because

vault is holding us back.”

For their third event, the Illi-ni competed on floor, where they scored above their season average thanks to a 9.875 by Weinstein. Illi-nois finished the event with a 48.950 but still trailed after three.

“All in all floor was strong for us,” Landrus said. “We did have a cou-ple people that could have had more amplitude and been a little bit more aggres-

sive, but the rest of the girls while doing their leaps, jumps and tumbling carried over what they do in practice to the meet.”

Going into the final event, Landrus pulled the team togeth-er for a quick pep talk.

“At the end of the day going into beam I told the team that great teams finish great and they went out and preformed six great routines,” she said.

Illinois scored a 49.225 on the event and had five scores over 9.800, which Landrus constitut-ed as a strong finish.

“I was extremely pleased with how they handled the end of their meet and we were able to walk out of there feeling as if they finished as strong as they could,” she said.

Landrus added that the team started and finished strong but must now work on putting every-thing together.

“Now we just have to fill in the pieces,” she said. “No mat-ter what event we start or finish on those middle two events have to be just as strong as the begin-ning and the end.”

No. 18 women’s gym falls to No. 20 Buckeyes

BY GINA MUELLERSTAFF WRITER

The No. 7 Illinois men’s gym-nastic team defeated No. 5 Ohio State with a photo finish.

The Illini had to wait for the results to be tallied after a neck and neck competition.

Illinois came away victorious against the Buckeyes 438.600-438.000. Senior Vince Smurro said the energy before the meet was different than any other meet.

“The energy was way differ-ent than previous meets this sea-son,” Smurro said. “I think main-ly due to the fact of the work we have been putting into the gym, which makes our confidence levels way different, which then makes the energy way higher. Our expectations as a team were way higher.”

The Illini start-ed off the night on the pommel horse, hitting all six routines. Senior Yoshi Mori tied for third with a 14.8. The sec-ond event the Illini competed on was the floor. Smurro scored a 15.9 earning a career-high and tying Illinois’ record for the third-highest floor score. Smurro also earned his first-ever title as an Illini on the event. The team set a new season-high score of 74.350.

“I think everyone can agree that that was one of his best sets,” Mori said. “With the new sys-tem this year, if you stick your dismount, if it’s a D value, then you get two tenths bonus. He did that, and that is what really boosted his score. Overall it was an incredible set and he stuck almost every pass.”

After having a few missed rou-tines on the floor exercise and the vault, Illinois moved to one of the most consistent events — rings. The Illini also scored a season-high on this event with a 76.000. Sophomore Mike Wil-

ner tied the second-highest rings score in Illinois history scoring a 15.8. He also captured his third rings title.

“It’s very easy to be consis-tent on rings, but to be consis-tent at the level Mike has been this year is incredible,” Illinois head coach Justin Spring said. “You can’t deny his work eth-ic and his commitment to nev-er stop pushing himself. With the loss of C.J. (Maestas, who was injured before the season began), reigning national cham-pion on rings, we needed some guys to step up and Mike has done just that.”

Illinois closed out the meet with two solid events — the high bar and the parallel bars. The

Illini improved its season high by almost two points with a 73.350. Fresh-man Joey Peters took second on the high bar with a 15.150. This score also marked a team high for this sea-son. Peters was the only Illini to compete in the all-around, scoring a career-high 85.850. This

marks Illinois’ highest all-around mark of the season.

The success from this meet will provide a confidence boost as the Illini prepare to compete against No. 1 Penn State at Huff Hall this upcoming weekend.

“I don’t want to break out the confetti yet,” Spring said. “This is what I expected from them. They did well, they didn’t do great. We still have a lot of work to do and a lot of improve-ments to make. We have a very unforgiving format ahead of us, and we need to be ready for it. This is great momentum and a great change of pace, but we are better than what we showed this weekend.”

No. 7 men’s gym wins close meet over No. 5 Buckeyes

to kick off more offensive fireworks.

The Illini peppered the Eagles with shots throughout the game, notching 54 on net. Eight of those found the back of the net.

Forward John Scully took a feed from senior Anthony Carlsen to light the lamp, and Matt Crook earned the first two goals of his Illini hockey career. A short-handed Quagliata score with just two seconds left in the second pushed the Illini advan-tage to an 8-1 margin.

Illinois apparently started the celebration a little too soon, allowing the Eagles to score four times in the third — includ-ing two more from Kozlowski to make five goals on the weekend — to finish with the 8-5 score.

“I let them have it pretty good.

I wasn’t happy with the third,” Fabbrini said. “We’re still look-ing for that killer instinct to bury a team.”

Despite the struggles in the final frame, the final home week-end was still a success for the seniors, who leave the Big Pond with a 15-5-2 mark this year.

“It’s definitely bittersweet,” Carlsen said. “It’s been a long, grueling season. You look for-ward to the end a little bit, but when you get there, it’s not as exciting as you thought it would be.”

For the seniors, especially Carlsen, who had thoughts of not competing this season after limited playing time the year before, there is still more to accomplish with the national tournament next weekend.

team.Illinois was also looking to qualify ath-

letes for the NCAA Championships in two weeks but no members officially qual-ified, though Pamilton and Stryganek strengthened their positions with titles.

Turk expressed confidence that the duo will likely qualify and a handful of others should be in a good position to advance in their respective events.

The biggest takeaway from the week-end’s events are the benefits that the indoor competition will have on the out-door track season.

“This weekend proves that we can compete with any team in our confer-ence, especially Wisconsin,” Stryganek said. “Going into the outdoor season, I can see us being one of the favorites in the Big Ten and ranked in the top 10 nationally.”

ers in double figures, barely, with D.J. Rich-ardson and Tracy Abrams having 10 points each.

“We made a ton of boneheaded turnovers in the second half, and you can’t do that against one of the best transition teams in the coun-try,” Richardson said. “They played smarter than we did and they played harder than we did. Give them credit for that.”

Michigan played for the first time in a week and looked rusty and sloppy early, turn-ing the ball over the missing open shots. Illinois didn’t trail until Tim Hardaway Jr. had a three-point play with 3:30 to go in the first half.

The Wolverines opened the second half with a 15-3 run, going ahead for good on Burke’s 3-pointer with 16:49 left to play and had a nine-point lead with his two free throws that put him over the 1,000-point mark for his career.

Hardaway Jr. scored 13 and Glen Robinson III had 10 points. Freshman Nik Stauskas, who was averaging 12-plus points, missed all

five of his shots and was held scoreless for the second time this season. Fellow fresh-man guard Caris LeVert took advantage of his opportunity to play more, scoring eight points, one shy of his career high.

Griffey’s second 3-pointer pulled Illinois within four points with 7:55 left, then Burke made a couple assists and a shot in a little more than a minute to allow Michigan to get a big lead back.

Groce was impressed, but not surprised because he has been watching the native Columbus, Ohio, play since he was in mid-dle school.

“The thing that he’s always had is competi-tive toughness,” said Groce, who led the Ohio Bobcats past Michigan in last year’s NCAA tournament. “He’s had that since Day 1.”

The Illini are idle until Saturday when they host Nebraska before closing the reg-ular season on the road at Iowa and Ohio State, trying to improve their position for the NCAA tournament. Groce said the break will be good for his entire team, but especially guard Joseph Bertrand, who landed hard on his left hit early in the sec-ond half and fouled out with 1:15 left to play.

BY RUSTY MILLERTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Aaron Craft slashed through the lane for a career-high 21 points on Sunday — more than he had scored in the last three games combined — to lead No. 18 Ohio State to a 68-60 victory over fourth-ranked Michigan State.

The loss crippled the Spar-tans’ hopes of catching up with top-ranked Indiana, which now leads the Big Ten race by two full games with four remaining.

Deshaun Thomas added 12 of his 14 points in the second half for the Buckeyes (20-7, 10-5), who stand fifth in the confer-ence. Evan Ravenel added 10 points and a crucial block in the final minute.

Freshman Gary Harris had 14 points and Adreian Payne and Derrick Nix each had 12 for the Spartans (22-6, 11-4), who have dropped two in a row after win-ning 11 of 12.

The victory improved Ohio State to 2-7 against ranked teams this season — both wins against Michigan’s Big Ten teams at Value City Arena. The Buckeyes are 18-0 against teams not in the Associated Press Top 25.

Michigan State, which lost to Indiana 72-68 on Tuesday night, still has games at No. 7 Michigan on Sunday and No. 19 Wisconsin at home on March 9 in a string of four in a row against ranked

opponents. They close out the regular season on March 10 at home against Northwestern.

The Buckeyes improved to 7-3 against top-five teams in the 15 years of Value City Arena.

Michigan State led 36-27 after a Payne jumper from the left baseline early in the second half, all but quieting the crowd.

But the Buckeyes didn’t back down, scoring 18 of the next 23 points to forge a five-point lead.

With Lenzelle Smith Jr. and Thomas hitting 3s and Amir Williams, a Detroit native, dunking inside and then com-pleting the three-point play, the Buckeyes scored points in tran-sition, played tenacious defense and kept up on the boards to take the lead, 45-40.

After a Nix free throw tem-porarily ended the spell, Ohio State continued its onslaught.

LaQuinton Ross poured in a 3 from in front of the Buckeyes bench off an assist pass from Craft. Ravenel added a free throw before Craft once again sped through the heart of Michi-gan State’s defense for a layup in traffic to push the lead to 51-41 with under 9 minutes left.

Craft has not provided much offense all year for an Ohio State team that has been beg-ging for a scorer to back up Thomas. Against a Michigan State team which prides itself on its defense, and with qual-ity defenders on the perimeter,

he seemed to always be racing to the rack with no one in front of him.

He had not hit double figures in the last three games — while totaling 17 points. He was held under 10 points in half of his Big Ten games coming in.

The Spartans scrambled back with a 5-0 run but Thomas was fouled on a 3-point try by Payne and hit all three free throws to make it 54-46.

Craft drove and hit two more free throws with just under 5 minutes left before Denzel Val-entine scored on a short half-hook. But Thomas came right back by muscling in a shot while being fouled and then complet-ing the three-point play to make it 61-52 with 3:54 left.

Two fouls shots apiece by Nix, Payne and Harris pulled the Spartans to 61-59, but Craft sped by Keith Appling for a lunging layup with 2:22 left.

After a free throw by Appling, the Buckeyes missed a shot, were awarded the ball in a scrum via alternate possession and Ravenel, the only senior on the team, rebounded and was fouled. He hit both shots to push the lead to 65-60 with 1:13 left.

Seconds later, Appling was squeezed on a drive and flipped the ball back and out of bounds. But the Buckeyes turned it right back over when they were unable to inbound within 5 seconds.

The teams traded possessions before the Spartans got the ball to Appling on a drive, but Rav-enel came across and blocked it with 25 seconds left.

The Spartans wouldn’t score again.

The Spartans stepped on the gas over the final 75 seconds in a 6-0 run for a 31-25 lead at the half.

There were six ties and five lead changes before the Spar-tans broke a tie at 25 when Denzel Valentine found burly Matt Costello inside for a bas-ket. Harris then stole the ball , leading to two free throws by Dawson. The Buckeyes then turned it over again when Wil-liams bobbled a pass and Daw-son dunked off an alley-oop fast-break pass from Harris.

Payne, continuing to be a pain to his home-state team, had 10 rebounds in the opening half. That was just three fewer than the entire Ohio State team. The Spartans totaled 21 rebounds at the break.

Another area where Michi-gan State looked sharper was in passing the ball. They had seven assists to just three by the Buck-eyes, with Harris matching the Ohio State total.

Thomas could not get untracked, hitting just one of his eight attempts from the field. The Big Ten’s leading scorer at 20 points a game, he had just two through 20 minutes.
