ISS seeks to co-sponsor Engineering Open HouseBY MEGAN JONESSTAFF WRITER

As the Engineering Open House draws more than 20,000 visitors each year, Illinois stu-dent senator Zach Bass, junior in Business and former Illini Media employee, submitted a resolution to co-sponsor the event to help further the sen-ate’s outreach.

The Illinois Student Senate can either pay $1,000 to have its presence included in pro-motional materials or $3,000 to host a booth at the event, in which senators can reach out to constituents. Bass recom-mended that the senate allo-cate $3,000 so they can extend communication efforts to its furthest extent.

“The school of Engineering is the No. 5 ranked program in the nation, and we want to keep getting good students into the school, so we need to show them what we offer and why it’s such a great school,” said M. Connor Schickel, senior in Engineering.

The open house features 250 exhibits, ranging from concrete crushing to Newtonian fl uid demonstrations, and will take place March 14 and 15.

Academy Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead, allegedly from a drug overdose, in his New York apartment on Sunday, New York police said.

Two glassine envelopes con-taining what was suspected to be heroin were found near the body, and fi ve empty envelopes were found in the trash, police said.

The actor, 46, was found by a business associate at 11:30 a.m. EST in his Greenwich Village apartment. Hoffman was found in his bathroom with a hypo-dermic needle stuck in his arm, police said.

Hoffman won a lead-actor Oscar in 2006 for portraying Truman Capote in “Capote.” He had admitted undergoing treat-ment for substance abuse prob-lems but got sober in rehab. “It was anything I could get my hands on,” Hoffman told “60 Minutes” in 2006. “I liked it all.”

Last year, the versatile actor — who starred in such fi lms as “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” “Charlie Wilson’s War” and “Boogie Nights” — reported-ly checked himself into rehab for 10 days after relapsing in 2012.

Last month, Hoffman traveled

to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to promote the drama “A Most Wanted Man,” set for release this year, in which he portrays a grizzled World War II counterterrorism operative. The actor served as an executive producer and was set to star in the upcoming Showtime comedy “Happyish.”

Hoffman appeared in a sup-porting role in last year’s “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” which grossed $860 million worldwide and stands out as the most commercially success-ful movie of the actor’s career. He had fi lmed scenes for two sequels in the “Hunger Games” series.

Hoffman’s work was “substan-tially complete” on “The Hun-ger Games: Mockingjay Part I,” and he had seven shooting days remaining on “Mocking-jay Part 2,” said a person close to the production but not autho-rized to speak to media. The actor’s death will not affect the fi lms’ scheduled release dates in November 2014 and 2015, the person said.

Raised in a middle-class household in Rochester, N.Y., primarily by his mother, a civ-il rights activist turned judge, Hoffman showed promise in

wrestling and baseball until an injury derailed his athletic career.

Hoffman began acting at age 15 and studied theater at New York University, graduating in 1989. Soon afterward, at 22, the actor checked himself into a rehabilitation program for alco-hol and drug addiction.

A bearlike, perennially rum-pled presence known as an actor’s actor, Hoffman displayed considerable range over a career that lasted 23 years and spanned nearly 60 fi lms. He worked with a Who’s Who of A-list directors — including, repeatedly, the Coen brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson and Bennett Miller — appeared opposite a constel-lation of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The actor landed three other Academy Award nomina-tions (for “The Master,” “Doubt” and “Charlie Wilson’s War”) as well as numerous critics asso-ciation honors.

A journeyman stage actor, Hoffman also was co-artistic director of New York’s Labry-inth Theater Company and was nominated for three Tony awards, including one for his 2012 portrayal of Willy Loman in the Broadway revival of “Death of a Salesman.”

Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead

thing that the African American community really does fi nd that they can connect with and share with other individuals is some-thing very powerful that both shows actually do,” Sanders said.

The week will include more than just entertainment, as a forum has been added to the agenda where students can discuss questions and concerns in the community.

“This is a new thing that we’ve tried to have, which I feel like is very benefi cial because sometimes

we’ll think that we’re doing our jobs, but if we’re not being respon-sive to what the black communi-ty needs, then maybe we need to reevaluate ourselves,” Pride said. “That’s a way to see if we’re doing our job.”

Adding this event to the week makes sure the group hosts events that aren’t just entertainment-based, James said.

“It makes it a full comprehen-sive week — it’s not just fun and games,” he said. “I think for Feb-ruary, for Black History Month, that’s what it’s all about for me in my position as the education-al component. You can have fun,

but (have) the education compo-nent as well.”

Pride encourages students from all backgrounds to attend the events and other events year-round.

“Not only are you getting edu-cated about some of the things that we may struggle with, some-times just it’s just nice to see a dif-ferent perspectives,” Pride said. “It makes you more open minded or more aware by going to these things, so that’s why I defi nitely encourage it.”

nally and providing entertain-ment and food for the event.”

The Engineering Open House Central Committee has raised 75 percent of its budget so far, leav-ing $14,000 remaining, Bass said.

If the senate chooses to cospon-sor the event, the allocation will help them fi nancially, as the event requires a “great deal” of sponsorship each year. He added that it will increase the overall quality of the event, as the com-mittee will be able to fund more exhibits.

“It’s opening doors for us to

work a little bit more with groups outside of Engineering,” Pod-gorny said. “It’s fostering con-nections outside of the Engineer-ing Council and north of Green (Street), which is benefi cial for us going forward.”

The idea began as part of Vice President-External Carey Ash’s communication initiative, after which Bass began to reach out to more colleges on campus and to attend the councils for the colleges of Engineering and Business.

“With the initiative that we did, obviously we’re going to get a lot of funding requests and a huge majority of them I said no to,” Bass said. “But I thought this was

actually applicable to the senate. Naturally, you’re going to get a lot of funding requests that, as a sen-ate, we just can’t fund because if we tried funding each one we’d be broke.”

He added that the senate is doing its job by funding this and helping students in any way is a positive thing.

“This will not be charitable giving, but rather an opportuni-ty to continue our communication effort,” Bass said.

The resolution was sent to the senate’s Committee on Financial Affairs.

be confi dence in what you are able to do,” Campion said. “I think any leader might be accused of being narcissistic because they have to be in control and tell people what to do.”

Leaders want projects and orga-nizations they are responsible for to succeed because it will refl ect back on them, he said.

“It is a tricky line I think because it can be perceived a lot of times as being very cocky or very arrogant,” Campion said.

To be a member of LAS Lead-

ers, prospective members have to go through an interview process and be selected for the club. He said being too humble would hurt a person in the interview process because they “want somebody who can brag about themselves a little bit and really show their value add-ed to the organization.”

Grijalva said she thinks lead-ers who lack narcissism can work on gaining its better aspects, such as improved self-esteem and self-worth, while ridding themselves or avoiding development of nega-tive behaviors, such as exploitative entitlement.

Campion said he thinks confi -dence can be taught to prospective

leaders, attesting that he has seen members become more confi dent throughout their time in the RSO.

But Drasgow said he is not sure how trainable the positive and neg-ative traits of narcissism are. His experiences in being a father have shown him that personality traits blossom on their own, and he does not know how changeable they are.

Grijalva said in the future she hopes to perform research to fi nd out what type of employees work best with a narcissistic leader to ensure that these working rela-tionships do not become abusive.

try is the way we transition the learning from university to prac-tice, so it’s very rewarding to get to be a part of that.”

He also mentioned that the University hosts one of two John Deere centers in North America, thus making it one of their “key universities globally.”

Laura Frerichs , director of the Research Park, said this is the third Mobile Development Day and its interests have evolved from creating apps to mobile

development on all levels.“In the beginning we felt that

mobile (technology) was a big opportunity for entrepreneur-ship, which is a major theme of what we do in the Research Park,” Bleill said. “That’s evolved and mobile is permeating through everything and it doesn’t stand on its own anymore. It’s part of the fabric of our society.”

Chad Lilly and Tim Kuehol-horn , director and systems engi-neer at Lextech Global Services , agreed with Bleill in their key-note address, called “Mobile as an Interface to Everything.”

“Mobile is what everybody’s

using, it’s not a nice-to-have any-more — you have to have it,” Lil-ly said. “It’s what everybody’s demanding ... It’s what we need to make happen.”

Kueholhorn added that con-necting hardware to mobile devices is the biggest business opportunity in the next two years.

“We’re committed to adding value to our community and to the park,” Bleill said. “And we feel that doing these kinds of events does just that.”

EDITORIAL

IEMA grant a great start to help making schools safer

S chool is supposed to be a safe place — a haven where chil-dren are able to leave their wor-ries from home at home, and en-ter a secure learning environment

where they can grow, learn and thrive. It’s supposed to be a place where parents can send their children and not have to worry about whether they will make it home safe-ly.

However, the association between school and safety isn’t as strong as it used to be. It seems that lately, school shootings and threats aimed at schools have become more prevalent and deadlier than ever.

And it’s not just colleges that are falling victim to these violent attacks — it’s ele-mentary schools, high schools, even pre-schools. Many of these attacks are being committed by students within the schools, many of them committed by complete strangers.

Time and time again we ask ourselves, “How could this happen?” And more impor-tantly, “How could this happen here?” Truth is, many of us think nothing bad can hap-pen at our school, with our exceptional stu-dents, faculty and values — until it does.

And by that time, the precautions that could have potentially saved lives or re-duced a perpetrator’s ability to commit a violent act are out of reach.

But if schools — regardless of their his-tory with violence — have the possibility to take any precautions that will increase stu-dent and faculty safety, then they should be taken.

And that’s a step the Illinois Emergency Management Agency is taking. The IEMA announced last week that $25 million in grants will be made available to public el-ementary, secondary and post-secondary school districts, community colleges and state universities.

Eligible schools can begin applying for the grant, which will provide elementary and secondary schools with security equip-ment such as physical locks, reinforced doors and shatter-resistant glass at their public entrances. Secondary schools that receive the grant will also be able to use it to fund inspection and screening systems along with physical security equipment.

The grant program aims to assist schools in establishing baseline security levels, which aren’t optimal, but even the basics can help save lives, too.

Though this is limited funding, hope-fully in the future, more funding will be made available to make sure every school is equipped with consistent security mea-sures, not just the ones that are perceived as needing it.

Tools as simple as a buzzer, in which someone inside the school’s office must clear you before you are able to enter, can be an easy way to greatly increase security.

Unfortunately, for many schools, they likely would not have the funding to afford these extra security measures if it weren’t for the IEMA grant. Additionally, because the grant is administered on an application and need-basis, schools that already en-force hefty security measures and are well-funded will most likely opt out of applying.

The under-funded schools, then, that don’t even have the basics, such as reinforced doors and shatter-resistant glass, will hope-fully be left to receive a majority of the grant’s funds.

Yet, at the same time, we must realize that safety should be an innate part of the school infrastructure, not just an oppor-tunity available through grants and fund-ing. In other words, these grants shouldn’t be a response to the rise of violence in and around schools, they should have been pre-ventative measures implemented from the beginning.

What this grant emphasizes is that schools aren’t exempt to violence because they are rural or urban, elementary schools or preschools, private or public — all schools need to consider school safety and precautions.

In the end, we hope that initiatives such as the one proposed by the Illinois Emer-gency Management System will deter vi-olence within our schools and keep these acts of violence from becoming a norm in society and in our schools.

The fact that I can’t look at the comments section on any website without feeling infuriated at the unproductive way people

communicate online, privately and in a public forum, is a bit of a problem.

I often read articles or watch videos online and then read the comments in hopes of see-ing some intriguing dialogue and productive discussions.

Silly me.I might watch an interesting video of some-

body explaining their opinion on a contro-versial topic on YouTube for example. Know-ing that their opinion is one that many might be in discord with, I foolishly look toward the comments in hopes of seeing some mature discussion.

Expectation: “I really appreciate your point, but I disagree with x, y and z because of these reasons. I think it would make more sense for you to look at the issue this way and maybe reconsider your feelings about this topic.”

Reality: “You’re just a dumb, fat loser who has a lot of acne. Stop showing your face on the Internet. Nobody agrees with your idiotic opin-ions. Get a life.”

Even people who do try to make civil remarks or defend the original poster who is getting vilified also get torn down by the angry people of the web.

Sometimes people get defensive when their opinion is in danger of being proven wrong. When they don’t have enough knowledge about the topic, it could just be easier to insult the person they feel threatened by to distract atten-tion away from their lack of a solid argument.

For example, a video of a Muslim man calmly trying to dispel common stereotypes in Islam is met with varied reactions, many of which are just plainly and angrily accusing him and all Muslims of being terrorists.

This is not a problem new to the past few years. This video was published seven years ago. I felt the same disgust today as I did while reading the comments in the past.

If this issue has persisted without much improvement for the past seven years, it’s not going anywhere.

The problem isn’t just limited to the online society’s inability to facilitate productive dia-logue in response to a piece of media.

The problem also shows a deeper issue of people taking something that should be posi-tive — the ability to express themselves — and making it something negative — taking advan-tage of their anonymous voice to put other peo-ple down.

The fact that these comments are public messages rather than private ones in chat rooms shows that we have allowed vitriol-ic comments online to gain a new type of confidence.

They belittle the person who put forward an idea, the people who embody those sentiments as a whole and even cause harm to the poster of the comment.

An art project called “Anonymous” fea-tured on artist Lindsay Bottos’s Tumblr page shows the extent of the cruelty of people online. The artist paired up photos of her-self with hateful anonymous messages she received commenting on her body, face and art.

All these comments are unwarranted and the artist describes it as people having a feeling of “authority” while describing what she looks like when really nobody has any right to tell anybody whether they are ugly.

Worse than the rude content of the mes-

sages to the artist are the intentions of the messenger: “Seriously, every time I see your ugly self on my dashboard I want to punch you in your f***ing acne covered face.”

This person, not unlike many of the oth-ers, doesn’t even have a legitimate message they want to get across. Their only purpose for communicating with the artist is to con-vey something hateful. They could easily get rid of her posts that pop up on their dash-board, but consciously choose to keep follow-ing her just so they can get a rise out of it.

This weird form of spiting is harmful because an individual is gaining satisfaction from consistently putting another down. The frustration of not being able to clearly get across one’s own point could be compensated for by putting down the person who’s origi-nal message you disagree with.

It’s convenient and easy and as you spew out hateful comments, you start to believe them and then feel justified putting this per-son down in the first place. It’s almost mas-ochistic in a way because these people who are getting so annoyed by certain things on the Internet choose to look at it and com-ment upon it even when they know it’s going to make them angry “every time.”

It’s absurd how people online have reached a level of confidence to be so rude and unfair when they would never dream of say-ing the things in person that they do on the Internet.

Comments sections and anonymous mes-saging options have transitioned from their original intention to serve as vehicles to spark productive dialogue in a civil manner to inflammatory environments that propa-gate anger and cruelty.

Break status quo to enhance college access, affordability

Late January, the University’s Board of Trustees approved an increase in tuition that will push the total cost of attendance

into six figures for University students start-ing classes next fall.

Christophe Pierre, the University’s vice chancellor for academic affairs, claimed that the price hike will “hold down student costs, therefore enabling (the University) to improve access and affordability.” With all due respect to Mr. Pierre, if the best way to hold down costs is to raise prices, we’re suffering from a collective failure of imagination.

Nonetheless, the Board appears to be satis-fied with the price hike, since the 1.7 percent increase is pegged to the rate of inflation. In other words, the Board has merely main-tained the status quo.

But before we start popping the cham-pagne corks, does preservation of the status quo merit celebration? After all, the Board has raised our tuition rate more than 20 per-cent in the last five years.

To offset the overall cost growth in recent years, the Board should have demanded nothing short of a tuition or fee freeze, if not a tuition or fee reduction.

From a generational perspective, it’s clear that any increase in tuition — even one pegged to the rate of inflation — is hard to justify. University of Illinois Trustee Patri-cia Holmes received her law degree from the University of Illinois in 1986, when law school tuition for in-state residents was $2,522.

Adjusting for inflation, that would come to just $5,375 today. When Trustee James D. Montgomery Sr. graduated from our College

of Law in 1956, law school tuition (including fees) was a mere $180 per year. In today’s dollars, that would be roughly $1,500.

And yet, the current sticker price for one year at our College of Law is $41,907, includ-ing both tuition and fees. In other words, today’s price tag is more than 8 times what Ms. Holmes paid, and 27 times what Mr. Montgomery paid, even after adjusting for inflation.

Clearly, a slower growth rate is simply not good enough. Tuition rates need to come down, so that today’s students have the same educational and economic opportunities as those who are now voting to push us deeper and deeper into debt.

Of course, the generational disparity isn’t much better for our undergraduates. When President Easter got his doctoral degree from the University of Illinois in 1976, tuition for Illinois residents was $586 per year. In today’s dollars, that would be roughly $2,400.

When Chancellor Wise received her bach-elor’s degree from Swarthmore College in 1967, tuition and fees for undergraduates at the University of Illinois was only $270 per year. In today’s dollars, that would come to come roughly $1,800.

By contrast, next year’s incoming fresh-man will be paying an average yearly tuition base of $12,036 for in-staters. If we’re satis-fied with a deal that’s five times worse than the one our President got, and more than six times worse than the one our Chancellor got, perhaps we’re not aiming high enough.

The goal should not be “bending the cost curve.” The Board of Trustees, the Univer-sity administration and the Illinois Gener-

al Assembly should be working together to bring costs down.

Of course, policymakers will trot out the usual canards — that higher rates of college attendance, and fewer resources available from Springfield, foreclose the possibility of giving today’s students the same square deal. Thus, the argument goes, tuition hikes are simply unavoidable. It should be noted, how-ever, that the University of Illinois system is currently hoarding away tens of millions of dollars in tuition reserves, amounting to near-ly 34 percent of its total operating budget.

You read that correctly. While our public universities are squirreling away mounds of tuition dollars — tuition dollars received from students going deeper and deeper into debt — they are hiking tuition rates on tomorrow’s students, who will shell out over $100,000 just for a bachelor’s degree.

While the administration may have a valid justification for stockpiling these reserves, it does call into question the perennial claim that tuition must be raised because of the school’s dire financial straits.

In short, the status quo should not be something we aim to maintain. The status quo is a disgrace.

And unless students start organizing and working together to demand meaningful change, the Board of Trustees will contin-ue patting itself on the back for a “job well done” — a job on today’s and tomorrow’s massively indebted youth.

We were finally able to say “Sunday Funday” this week and actually mean it due to the showing of the 2014 Super Bowl XLVIII. Homework was put

on hold indefinitely and chips, hot hors d’oeuvres and seven-layer taco dip sat on the tables of living rooms nation-wide. And let’s not forget the beloved commercials that we all anxiously anticipated and

got at least a few hearty laughs out of. Oh, and then somewhere in the midst of all of the Super Bowl fun

there was a football game or something.

On Sunday afternoon, statements came out revealing the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, age 46.

He was found in his apartment and the cause is said to have been an alleged drug overdose. Hoffman

was among one of Hollywood’s many talented actors and is known for his roles in multiple hit movies,

including “The Hunger Games” series. Many of his colleagues have expressed their sorrows of the

untimely death and continue to reflect on the legacy he left behind.

idea of what you can and can’t control,” she said.

Ultimately, Prestini hopes the performance evokes a sense of

“multiple selves,” yet offers a sense of solace in how we can unify these selves.

“We live in a time where we have extreme communication, but we’re also very detached,” she said. “So that plays a big part of trying to unite these differ-

ent selves and your own rela-tionship to others. Both piec-es explore this idea of multiple identities and multiple selves and connectivity.”

On Saturday night in Lincoln Hall Theater, more than 400 audience members gathered to address the question, “Paano ka nakarating dito?”

This, meaning “How did you get here?” in Filipino, was the theme for the second annual Fil-ipino Culture Night, a conjoined benefit show and dinner hosted by Philippine Student Association at Lincoln Hall and Presby Hall, respectively.

The night kicked off at 7 p.m. with keynote speaker Xavier Her-nandez, a graduate assistant at the Asian American Cultural Center and University graduate student.

The show was divided between two acts, with the first act explor-ing the theme of understanding Filipino culture, and the second covering the conflict of inter-racial dating. The Lincoln Hall event showcased four dance per-formances — modern, culture, throwback and formal — along with two skits that demonstrated Filipino values and culture. Spe-cial guest performers included the TASC Special Ops, who per-formed Chinese Yo-Yo, and VSA Lion Dance, which mimicked the movements of a lion combined with tumbling, among others.

One memorable moment was when the singing group Boses performed a song in honor of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the Philippines in November.

Christina Malibiran, sopho-

more in Media, acted and danced at the event. Malibiran, a leading character in the skit during Act II, played a mom in a scene about interracial dating. She said she has been preparing for the show since September.

“Everyone gets to bond — that was the best part. Having fun and dancing with friends,” Malibiran said. “I hope those who attended were able to embrace the culture and learn what Filipino culture is all about. FCN shows what it’s like to be a Filipino American.”

PSA Chapters around the Mid-west were in attendance, includ-ing those from the University of Toledo and the University of Michigan. Other guests included the Midwest Association of Fili-pino Americans.

“It was interesting to learn about Filipino culture; one of my high school friends is Filipino and he brought me to the show last year and I enjoyed so I came again this year,” said Austin Estes, soph-omore in Engineering.

According to Marc Chua, co-coordinator for Filipino Culture Night and sophomore in LAS, the RSO sold more than 400 tickets for the performance and more than 150 tickets for the dinner.

The night’s dinner portion also included dancing and acting per-formances, and classic Filipino food was served.

Lizah Doctor, the president of PSA and senior in LAS, said there were also raffle tickets for sale and prizes as way to donate to Advancement for Rural Kids

(ARK), an organization that aims to improve education and health among children in impoverished rural areas. PSA hoped to reach a goal of $1500 from the night’s events to send to ARK.

The main point of the organiza-tion is to connect with the Philip-pines and its culture, that’s the biggest thing,” Doctor said. “It’s easy to get lost in all the dancing, but the main reason why we were there is for the cause.”

Chua said the reason the RSO chose to give to ARK is to bene-fit the organization by providing food and school supplies, among other things.

“We had the support from our families, our friends, our educa-tional system,” Chua said. “Being college students, we are privi-leged to be in an institution that gives opportunities. We are trying to feed first and second graders, think about that. If you don’t make it past those first stepping stones, you can’t even go on.”

Chua said he was glad that event raised awareness of ARK. The performance also allowed audience members to learn about different values and lessons of Filipino culture and conflicts that Filipino face and experience throughout their life, he said.

“We hoped to raise awareness about Filipino culture and that we can make a difference in the campus, community and abroad,” Doctor said.

Filipino Culture Night raises cultural and valued awareness in Lincoln Hall Theater

What’s green, tasty and surpris-ingly sweet? It’s my go-to, grab-and-go breakfast smoothie, of course. Packed with nutrients, this satisfying smoothie is easy to make and is a lifesaver for students — like myself — who are not exactly morning people.

For those who have seen me slurping down a suspicious look-ing green concoction in class, my sincerest of apologies. But I have to say, this nutritional smoothie is worth the horrified, “what-the-heck-is-that” stares that I get on a daily basis.

What makes this smoothie so great is the extra daily serving of vegetables that it adds to my diet. Chock full of kale and spinach, incorporating these leafy greens into your breakfast smoothie is a great way to trick your taste buds into getting some added fiber and calcium.

My absolute favorite thing about this smoothie is how quick and easy it is to make in the morning. In about three minutes time, I can have all of my ingredients in the blender, mixed up and in my to-go cup for class. To speed up the preparation process even more, I often place the kale, spinach, flax-seed and Chia seed in the blender

and store it in the fridge overnight. Then, all I have to do in the morn-ing is add in a half-cup of Greek yogurt, half of a frozen banana and water prior to mixing.

If anyone wants to add some additional flavor and sweetness, the recipe ingredients are fairly flexible. I frequently add in blue-berries, raspberries, honey or aga-ve nectar. And for a flavorful twist, try swapping out the plain Greek yogurt for some vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt.

Ingredients:1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt1 tablespoon flaxseed1 tablespoon Chia seed1/2 frozen banana1 cup spinach1/2 cup kale1/4 cup water or milk1 teaspoon Vietnamese cinnamon

Directions:1. Place all ingredients togetherin blender2. Blend until smooth3. Enjoy!

It’s not easy being green: Healthy smoothie breaks breakfast norms

THEDAILYILLINI

BY BRIDGET HYNESSTAFF WRITER

Nestled on the corner of Main and Race streets in downtown Urbana stands Bohemia, a new vintage store that opened on Nov. 15. Owned by Cham-paign-Urbana’s Milea Hayes and Laura Young, the store is named for its “Bohe-mian-like style,” an aesthetic summa-rized by its motto: “a unique blend of vintage home décor, apparel, and artist creations with a vintage vibe.”

Among many things, the shop, locat-ed at 135 W. Main St., features both modern and vintage clothing, such as sweaters priced from $48 to $98; hand-crafted jewelry ranging from $8 to $175; original paintings ranging from $35 to $550; and a variety of small trin-kets and cards. Bohemia is also selling Valentine’s Day cards handmade by a

local artist for $4.The store’s most dominant theme,

however, is its selection of repurposed vintage furniture and light fixtures, which Young and Hayes search for throughout the year at a variety of flea markets, auctions and estate sales in places as far as Chattanooga, Tenn. Both women say the “hunt” for new items is their favorite part about the business. Young’s all-time favorite purchase is a vintage green counter she bought in California that has now become their store counter.

“You just don’t ever know what you’re going to find,” Hayes said.

In addition to these items, Young and Hayes offer to repaint or reupholster any piece of furniture brought to them by a customer and will even bring fur-niture into clients’ homes to help them

stage it. They also offer to stage fur-niture for customers’ photo sessions.

As well as co-owning Bohemia, Hayes also runs a wedding rental business called Flower Girl Vintage, which she started about a year ago. The idea came to her after she planned her daugh-ter’s backyard wedding with a vintage theme. The wedding was complete with vintage bathtubs to hold beverages, mis-matched vintage plates at all the tables and chandeliers hanging in the tents. Hayes said she struggled with finding certain pieces, and thought, “Does it make sense to go out and buy all of these things?” Thus, Flower Girl Vintage was born, with the idea that she would rent out anything vintage that people might need for weddings.

Hayes runs Flower Girl Vintage from the same location as Bohemia: Urbana’s historic Knowlton and Bennett Building on Main Street, a 1920s-era building which once housed both a drugstore and bookstore. Young said she was ecstatic when she saw the space was for rent because she had known about the build-ing for years.

“There are people that come in here and say they used to buy their school supplies here,” Hayes said.

Both Hayes and Young believe their location is the perfect location for a vin-tage store because of its charm; they feel it is a “happening little spot.” Hayes also thinks it is a good option for col-lege students getting their first apart-ment and “finding a fun piece or two for their new place.”

Kailey Luzbetak, senior in LAS, said a vintage store works well in a college setting because of its unique nature.

“Since vintage stores tend to be indi-vidual businesses as opposed to chains, students can get unique clothing pieces and not have to get sick of seeing all of their peers wearing the same shirt as them,” she said.

Young said she first became inter-ested in the vintage business when she moved to California after college and tried to decorate her place on a small budget. It was during this time that Young also started painting, some-thing she still continues today. Some of her paintings and palates are sold

in Bohemia. “I was amazed at the stuff people

would throw away,” Young said. “I would take items out of people’s trash — lamps and tables — and take them home and fix them and paint them. People would come over and say, ‘Wow, your place is so cool,’ and it was basically all stuff I had just fixed up.”

Young, who moved back to the Cham-paign-Urbana area from California about a year ago, said she saw the need for a vintage store in the area while she was trying to decorate her new place. Young had previously met Hayes at another local vintage store while visit-ing the area, and after Young returned, they decided to start their own business.

As for the future of the store, Hayes said they hope to continue doing more of the same, as well as expand their fur-niture refurbishing and do more with interior design.

“We are live in the moment people,” she said.

Bohemia turns tra! to treasure

Saturday night at 7:30 p.m., the inno-vative Labyrinth Installation Concertos premiered at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, taking viewers on a journey layered with tantalizing visual and audial stimuli. Created and composed by esteemed contemporary composer Paola Prestini, Labyrinth is divided into two parts: the first, titled “House of Solitude,” features violinist Cornelius Dufallo and the second, titled “Room No. 35,” features cellist Maya Beiser.

Labyrinth is cutting-edge on many fronts. It features the K-Bow, which senses what the musician plays and wirelessly sends real-time information

to a computer and an LED cello, which combines light with sound and video in a dazzling showcase. Set in the Tryon Festival Theatre, the featured artist was surrounded by projection screens dur-ing the performance, where video, imag-es and pre-recorded audio was interwo-ven with their music. The University’s eDream (Emerging Digital Research and Education in Arts Media) Institute worked to make a mesmerizing, mul-tilayered digital environment for the artists.

“It’s an exciting kind of pinnacle in terms of the exploration between visu-al arts technology and music,” Prestini said. “It’s a unique project for me.”

Prestini — whose music has been laud-ed by The New York Times as “radi-

ant, and amorously evocative” and has earned her a spot on NPR’s “Top 100 composers in the World under 40” — has been immensely excited to premier Lab-yrinth. She has especially enjoyed incor-porating the interdisciplinary aspects of video and lighting into her music.

“There are certain themes that I like to explore that I think are heightened by multimedia, and that’s why I really like to use it,” she said. “We definitely live in a visual culture, so expressing our-selves through music, lighting, direc-tion and visual is a very natural way for us to think.”

In “House of Solitude,” the audience traveled on an explorative journey as Dufallo seems to ponder the dynam-ic interplay between solitude and the

need for human contact in one’s odyssey toward self-discovery. It featured sound recordings of everyday life, such as washing machines, along with sounds of nature, like horses galloping. In “Room No. 35,” Beiser delves into the intricate facets of human emotion and soul.

“The idea is that it’s a labyrinth of the mind, and it’s a labyrinth of the heart,” Prestini said. “These two artists have not just created some backdrop, but real-ly an installation that surrounds and develops and hopefully marries well with the music.”

Audience members Herbert and Nor-ma Marder enjoyed the piece as a whole, but favored the first part due to how it had a more coherent, logical timeline.

“The second one was slick in sensa-tion,” Norma said.

Nevertheless, the two found the per-formance “beautifully done,” and Norma called the first part “a most extraordi-nary work of art.”

Nate Scheidler, senior in Engineering, said he enjoyed how the first part of the two concertos explored “chaos and order and man-made structure.”

Prestini said she aimed to create an experience that incorporated a sense of chance because the technology works in such a way in that each performance may not be the same as the last.

“You put chance into life or into a piece and that really meshes with the

JOHN LOK MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNESeattle Seahawks linebacker and Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith celebrates after intercepting a pass and returning it for a touchdown during the second quarter against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday . Seattle won, 43-8.

SEATTLE DOMINATESBY BOB CONDOTTAMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Believe it, Seattle — after 38 years, the Seahawks are fi nally Super Bowl champions.

In fact, by the time it ended, the only thing unbelievable about this one was how easy it was, as the Seahawks cruised to a 43-8 win over the Denver Broncos to take Super Bowl XLVIII in front of 82,529 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night.

A young and brash Seat-tle defense made Peyton Man-ning and Denver’s record-set-ting offense merely look old and slow, dominating the action from the start and forcing two fi rst-half turnovers as the Seahawks jumped out to a 22-0 halftime lead, the third-largest in Super Bowl history.

Percy Harvin then ended any thoughts of a Denver comeback as quickly as possible, returning the opening kickoff of the second half 87 yards for a touchdown to give Seattle, which entered the game as 2.5-point underdogs in most sports

books, a 29-0 lead.Harvin’s touchdown, as did

a safety on the fi rst play of the game, came 12 seconds into the half — a symmetry that Seattle’s fans, the self-named 12s, surely found fi tting on a day when every-thing went the Seahawks’ way.

The title came in the Seahawks’ second Super Bowl appearance, Seattle having lost to Pittsburgh 21-10 in Detroit following the 2005 season.

The game turned Seattle’s way from the start, as a mis-timed snap on Denver’s fi rst offensive play led to a Seahawks safety, credited to Cliff Avril, just 12 sec-onds into the game — the fastest score in Super Bowl history.

Seattle turned the ensuing pos-session into a fi eld goal, and then after forcing a three-and-out, drove for another fi eld goal.

Then came a pair of back-break-ers forced by the Seattle defense.

Late in the fi rst quarter, Man-ning threw a wobbly pass over the middle under heavy pressure into the hands of Seattle safety Kam Chancellor.

That led to a 1-yard-touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch that put Seattle ahead 15-0 with exactly 12 minutes remaining in the sec-ond quarter.

At that point in the game, Seat-tle had a 165-11 edge in yards and 9-0 in fi rst downs.

Denver fi nally got a couple fi rst downs on its initial drive of the second quarter.

But on a third-and-13 from the 35, Manning was hit by Avril as he threw with the ball falling into the hands of linebacker Malcolm Smith, who had an easy path to a 69-yard touchdown that made it 22-0 with 3:21 left in the fi rst half, and had the non-Seahawk fans in the crowd beginning to look to the Bruno Mars halftime show to make it interesting again.

Then came Harvin’s return, sparking a second half that increasingly had the feel of a Seahawks home game as orange-clad Denver fans began to leave in droves.

Seattle scored again with 2:38 to play in the third quarter when Russell Wilson — on this day, a quiet star — to make it 36-0.

Denver averted the embarrass-ment of potentially suffering the fi rst shutout in Super Bowl his-tory when Demaryius Thomas

scored on a 14-yard pass on the fi nal play of the third quarter.

But it was a momentary intru-sion into Seattle’s fun. Wilson threw a 10-yard pass to Bald-win early in the fourth quarter to make it 43-8 as the party on the Seahawks sideline kicked into high gear in what might be the greatest moment in the history of Seattle sports.

The Seahawks had been as far as a conference title game just twice since entering the NFL in 1976 before this season, a year that began with high expectations after a young team began to fi nd itself late in the 2012 season to advance to the Divisional round.

Seahawks players, in fact, began talking Super Bowl the minute they lost in Atlanta a year ago, and Seattle was a popular pick among preseason prognosticators.

Still, some wondered how a team that ended the season as the seventh-youngest in the NFL would handle the hype.

Turns out, they did it “very well,” the joking response coach Pete Carroll often gives to ques-tions about how he thinks his team will handle something.

It has been a rollercoaster week for Big Ten basketball, and Sat-urday was a rollercoaster game between Illinois and Iowa. The Hawkeyes beat the Illini 81-74 at State Farm Center in a game that saw Illinois erase a 21-point fi rst-half defi cit but fall short in the comeback attempt.

It felt as if Illinois left every-thing it had on the court, but it wasn’t enough to snap a losing streak that has now extended to seven games. The streak is Illi-nois’ longest losing streak since 1999.

Roy Devyn Marble led Iowa (17-5, 6-3 Big Ten) with 17 points, all coming in the second half. Gabri-el Olaseni added 15 points and 12 rebounds, both career highs.

Joseph Bertrand’s 20 points were tops for the Illini (13-9, 2-7) . But a late turnover trailing by one in the game’s fi nal minutes and a rebound that was snatched from his grasp moments later probably handed the game to the Hawkeyes.

“That one stings just because

of how hard our guys played,” Illinois head coach John Groce said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud of our toughness and togetherness in a loss.”

“It was a very unique game to say the least,” Groce’s counter-part Fran McCaffery added. “I thought our defense was good early. It didn’t seem like (Illi-nois) could get anything to go in. They maintained their compo-sure and showed a lot of fi ght to come back.”

State Farm Center was amped for the primetime matchup and the Illini fed off the electric sell-out crowd when they needed it most. Iowa jumped out to a quick lead and extended it to 34-13 with 7:34 to play in the fi rst half.

Illinois responded, closing the half on a 23-6 run. The run wasn’t fueled by any one player, but it

seemed as if the Illini simply fl ipped a switch.

“Our togetherness changed,” point guard Tracy Abrams said. “We were talking a little bit more. We understood that we had to keep fi ghting.”

That energy would carry over into the second half. If it wasn’t apparent before, an alley-oop dunk from Kendrick Nunn to Bertrand announced that Illi-nois wasn’t going to go away. The Illini kept it close early in the half, tying the score fi ve dif-ferent times before getting the lead from the Hawkeyes.

A 3-pointer from Abrams got Illinois over the hump with about 10 minutes to play. At 62-61 , it was Illinois’ fi rst lead since the 2-0 mark. Illinois would extend the lead to as many as fi ve points, but eventually the more experi-

enced Hawkeyes stifl ed the Illi-ni offense.

Iowa held Illinois to one fi eld goal in the game’s fi nal four and a half minutes. The Hawkeyes outrebounded the Illini 41-28 , but the teams were even on the glass in the second half.

This was a game that Illinois could have won and was in posi-tion to win, but as has been the theme during the losing streak, they couldn’t pull it out. This one felt different from the other loss-es, and Groce thought so too.

“We’ll probably watch the fi lm and say, ‘What if?’” Groce said. “It was a good college basketball game if you didn’t care who won or lost. Unfortunately we care.”

Illinois head coach John Groce has said over and over again that for Illinois

to break out of this slump everyone needs to fi re on all cylinders. They did just that against No. 15 Iowa on Saturday, and it still wasn’t enough to end what is now a seven-game losing streak.

As Groce said, this 81-74 loss against Iowa “stings” for an Illinois squad desperate for a big win. The Illini had a fi ve-point lead in the second half on its home court and let it slip away. It’s surprising Illinois was even in position to win this game after trail-ing by as many as 21 points in the fi rst half.

Illinois started the game ice cold just like it had in its six previous contests. Illi-nois was simply overmatched by Iowa in the early going. At one point, the Hawkeyes had more offensive rebounds (nine) than the Illini had total rebounds (eight). Groce said Illinois was struggling to get into its defensive sets with Iowa constantly pushing the ball. The Illini, faithful in attendance, had every rea-son to give up with Illinois down 21 points and on a six-game losing streak, but they didn’t.

The 16,618 fans at State

Farm Center had as much to do with this comeback as any Illinois player. Jon Ekey’s 3-pointer to bring the Illini within 16 points led to a deaf-ening roar from the crowd. The fans didn’t give up, and neither did the Illini.

Illinois ended the fi rst half on a 23-6 run. Back-to-back 3-pointers by freshmen Malcolm Hill and Kendrick Nunn sent State Farm Center into a frenzy.

“They fought their tails off,” Groce said. “We fi ght here, that’s what we do.”

Everything aligned for Illinois to steal the win away from Iowa, but the Illini just couldn’t execute down the stretch.

Iowa ended the game on a 20-8 run thanks to numer-ous mishaps by Illinois. The Illini gifted fi ve points to the Hawkeyes with two late turn-overs leading to Iowa and-one’s. The last one, a turn-over by Joseph Bertrand leading to a Roy Devyn Mar-ble and-one, all but iced the game.

It’s just a shame Illinois lost this game, especially when they fi nally showed what they’re capable of.

Bertrand was phenomenal, using his crafty penetration and fi nishing skills to lead the Illini with 20 points, but the rest of the team stepped up as well.

Seven players scored six or more points for the Illini

When the Illinois men’s track and field team traveled to Bloomington, Ind., for the Indi-ana Relays this past weekend, Brandon Stryganek viewed the 200-meter dash as just another race. Maybe that’s because it was his second time lining up against the defending Big Ten champion in as many weeks.

Stryganek came from behind in the 200 to beat reigning con-ference champion Timothy Faust of Ohio State for the sec-ond week in a row with a time of 21.56 seconds.

“It was a good race,” said Stryganek, who has been com-peting against Faust since the age of 16. “I think I ran it like coach and I planned, got out hard. I paced myself for a lit-tle bit then went a little extra strong and finished it out.”

Stryganek’s title was the only one a relatively short-handed Illinois team brought home from the 50-team meet in Blooming-ton, Ind. No team scores were recorded at the meet.

“We didn’t have everybody compete this weekend,” head coach Mike Turk said. “We had a few guys that were rest-ing up from last week and get-ting ready to go to Nebraska next week, but I thought we had some really, really good performances.”

Among those performances was Vanier Joseph’s second-place finish in the 60-meter hur-dles. After a slow start to the season due to a nagging ham-string injury, Joseph finished the race with a time of 7.79 sec-onds, 0.15 seconds behind Indi-ana State’s Greggmar Swift, whose time is the fastest in the nation this season.

Sophomore Liam Markham

finished fourth in the mile with a personal best 4 minutes, 2.37 seconds, the fastest colle-giate time in the event for the meet behind three professional runners.

“I just liked the way he looked, and it was really encour-aging because he said he really didn’t feel that good,” Turk said. “But he really looked good and that was a big step forward for Liam to run that kind of race in the mile.”

Cody Klein highlighted the Illini field events with a third-place finish in the pole vault. Klein cleared 5.15 meters, 0.1 meter shy of his indoor person-al best.

“Overall, I’d say I’m happy with today’s performance,” Klein said. “The focus was to work on things we’d been work-ing on all week in practice. It went pretty well up until that last bar and it kind of fell apart, so I’m a little bit upset about that.”

In the 600 meters, Zebo Zebe finished third with a time of 1:19.67, the season high for the Illini in the event. Jereme Atchi-son finished third in his first career race in the 5,000-meter run, with teammate Brendan McDonnell finishing 0.19 sec-onds behind him.

“I think we’ll be pretty well prepared for the meet at Nebraska,” Turk said. “Guys are excited. It’ll be pretty hot competition. We’ve got a cou-ple guys that we rested up this week — guys in weight throw, and multi-events, and heptath-lon, and Luke Carroll and Will Brewster will be ready. I think we’ll be very ready for the com-petition next week.”

For the fifth consecutive home game, the Illinois women’s bas-ketball team was not able to close.

Down 17-14 with 14:45 left in the half, Illinois (9-13, 2-7 Big Ten) dug itself into a hole as Indiana (16-6, 3-6) went on a 17-1 run. The Hoosiers never looked back on their way to a 77-58 win. Strong two-way play by junior guard Ivory Crawford helped cut the deficit to 12 at the half, but the Illini were never able to get the deficit back to single digits.

Crawford recorded 12 of the Illini’s 31 first half points to go with two blocks and four steals. She finished with 16 points, two blocks and five steals for the game.

“In the locker room we talked about giving up 90 points to Ohio State,” head coach Matt Bollant said. “I would hope that our effort and intensity on the defensive end would be really good to start the game ... but to give up 34 points in

the first nine minutes was really disappointing.”

The second half was no dif-ferent from the first, as Indiana held Illinois at bay with efficient shooting and outscored the Illi-ni in second chance points. The Hoosiers were able to score 16 second chance points to the Illi-ni’s four.

“Give credit to (the Hoosiers) for a great response,” Bollant said. “You learn a lot about kids in the way they respond. They were disappointed in how they played against Northwestern and they came out today determined to be different.”

Indiana received a complete team effort in the win, as four players finished in double figures. The Hoosiers exploited the Illini’s lack of size in the paint during man-to-man coverage, feeding senior center Simone Deloach in the post for nine of the team’s 28 points in the paint. When Illinois switched to its “Buzz” defense, Indiana would kick the ball out to

one of its 3-point threats in Lar-ryn Brooks, Taylor Agler and Alexis Gassion. The trio com-bined for 10 3-pointers on the day and 51 of the team’s 77 points. They also shot 50 percent from beyond the arc.

Generating turnovers was once again not a problem for the Illi-ni, as they forced the Hoosiers to cough up the ball 21 times to Illinois’ 12. Cleaning up on the glass, however, proved to be dif-ficult as the Hoosiers nearly dou-bled Illinois’ output, grabbing 45 rebounds to the Illini’s 26.

“We’ve got to rebound as a team,” Bollant said. “We’re just not big enough to not have five people rebounding, and that hurt.”

Freshman forward Jacqui Grant, who had been hot offen-sively, failed to record double dig-its in points, scoring four points on 2-of-9 shooting and grabbing four rebounds. She had averaged 19.3 and 8.0 rebounds per game in her previous three games enter-

ing Sunday. Bollant said after the game that she had been feeling ill coming into the game, but added that “she would be the first one to tell you that there are no excuses.”

When asked about the team’s confidence during the current stretch, senior guard Amber Moore said the team has to stay positive and continue working on defense.

Bollant delved into his bench midway through the second half for a spark and said he liked what he saw and that he would consid-er redistributing minutes played among the starters.

“We’ve got to think about what’s best for the team,” he said. “The way those five (bench players) ended the game today, I thought that was some of our best defense. Does that make me want to get them back out on the floor as quick as possible? I’m certainly consid-ering that.”

After a long road trip the pre-vious weekend, the No. 13 Illi-nois wrestling team hoped to excite fans with a win over No. 7 Nebraska in its return home, but it fell flat against a confer-ence opponent once again, los-ing by a score of 22-13.

Going into Saturday’s dual, Illinois coaches were confident their wrestlers could prove they were better than the team’s record showed; however, the Illi-ni lost several close matches and a few blowouts to lose the dual, bringing their Big Ten record to 1-5. After the match, head coach Jim Heffernan criticized his team for its lack of aggressive-ness against a tough opponent.

“Across the board, we didn’t have enough fight, and I think we gave away a couple of matches that we should have won,” Hef-fernan said.

Heffernan pointed to heavy-weight Chris Lopez’s match as one that was given away. Lopez kept the match close for the entire time, but with the score tied at the end of the third peri-od, he relaxed his stance. His

opponent took advantage of the opportunity, scoring a quick takedown in the final seconds to give himself a 3-1 victory.

Redshirt freshman Zac Brunson had the toughest match of the night as he took on No. 1 ranked James Green. Green controlled the match the entire time, overpowering Brunson with takedowns and near-falls to win 10-3. Brunson said he was frustrated by the way he wrestled, feeling he missed the opportunity to bring his best against a highly ranked opponent.

“Instead of hustling and get-ting back up trying to compen-sate my mistakes by scoring my own points, I kind of just gave the match away and laid down for him,” Brunson said.

The team also had trouble in some of its wins with national champion Jesse Delgado strug-gling to score points as of late because of the way opponents have been wrestling him, Hef-fernan said. Delgado won but in a low-scoring match because of his opponent’s conservative style of wrestling. Opponents are wrestling him this way in

order to keep the match close until the end, which gives them a better opportunity to overcome his skill.

“He needs to make sure he makes adjustments and not get so frustrated,” Heffernan said. “He is never really in danger, but he needs to score against guys who aren’t going to wres-tle him.”

The team has also struggled with injuries throughout the season but seems to be getting healthy again with the return of redshirt senior Mario Gonzalez to the lineup.

In his first match back, Gonza-lez kept it close for most of the match with both wrestlers scor-ing their only points of regula-tion on escapes. In the match’s first 30-second tiebreak, Gon-zalez was able to score a rever-sal from the bottom but fell in the process and hurt his knee. Gonzalez remained on his back for a few minutes but was able to get up and finish the match hobbling on one leg, winning by a score of 3-2.

His teammates were thrilled to see one of the senior leaders back in the lineup and were even

happier to see him get a win in such a fashion.

“Mario has been struggling with injuries all season long,” Brunson said. “We were dying to have him back because he is one tough son of a bitch. He was able to go out there and battle through even more injuries and still get the win. I think it was fantastic for us.”

The team is only missing 141-pound Steven Rodrigues from the lineup, but he is expect-ed to return this weekend when the team travels to Purdue on Friday and comes home to face Northwestern on Sunday.

Brunson and the rest of the Illinois wrestlers will be looking to redeem themselves in front of the home crowd in their last home dual of the season.

“When Northwestern comes here, I want to be excited and show the fans that I’m wrestling for them,” Brunson said. “I want to beat my opponent and have a high scoring match, something that the fans will enjoy.”

The Illinois women’s gymnas-tics team bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 196.475-195.050 win over Iowa at the annual Pink Meet on Friday.

“It feels great,” head coach Kim Landrus said. “We came out, and we scored over a 49 on four events. We did so many great things today that I think that we’ll build off of those.”

Following the ceremonial beginning to the Pink Meet, which aimed to raise breast can-cer awareness, the Illini were on vault, where they achieved a new season-high score of 49.025. This was the first team score over 49 on vault this season.

From there, they headed to the uneven bars and had a trend of stuck dismounts. This pros-perity led to a score of 49.250, their best of the night and a new season-high. It also result-ed in all six Illini placing in the top four with ties for first and fourth place. Illinois was able to carry its momentum from vault into bars, and utilizing that momentum is something Landrus has emphasized.

“We need to continue to build,” Landrus said. “It’s four events. It’s 24 routines, and that was one thing that I did think we did well.”

Illinois continued the meet at the balance beam. It was a solid event in which the Illini totaled a score of 49.025, an improve-ment from their last meet at Minnesota.

“We had four really good per-formances,” Landrus said. “We had one performance that I was so proud of her, Sarah Fiedler.

She had a big wobble, but she fought up there, and she stayed on the beam. I couldn’t be more proud, and I think it taught our whole team a really good lesson.”

To conclude the meet, a strong finish on floor sealed the win. On the second routine, howev-er, junior Kelsi Eberly stepped out-of-bounds on her first tum-bling pass. This led to a score of 9.625. The remaining gymnasts stepped up, though. All four of them scored a 9.800 or above.

“I thought those last four competitors really went out and did their job and finished really strong,” Landrus said.

With all of the team success came a plethora of individual success. Illinois swept all of the events and took two out of three spots in all-around. Freshman Erin Buchanan earned a new career high on vault with a score of 9.875. This gave her the vault title, the first of her career. It also ended senior Amber See’s vault winning streak at three.

Freshman Emily Lennon also scored a new career high on vault with a 9.825. Sopho-mores Heather Foley and Gia-na O’Connor scored new season highs on vault.

On beam, junior Sunny Kato and senior Elizabeth McNabb each scored a 9.900, giving them the tie for first place. This also gave McNabb a new career-high beam score. As for Kato, she stuck her beam and bars routines.

Despite a strong victory over Iowa, though, Illinois is still striving for me.

“We have such high standards this year, and I want to make sure that those standards we continue to reach for,” Landrus said.

Facing the defending nation-al champions, No. 7 Minot State, the No. 20 Illinois hockey team got their best win of the season before suffering their most heart-wrenching loss.

The intense weekend of hock-ey ended in a 4-3 shootout loss for the Illini after Illinois got an emotional 2-0 shutout victory on Friday.

“We defi nitely left it all out there,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said after Saturday’s tough loss. “I’m not a big fan of moral victo-ries, but I thought this was a big weekend for us going forward.”

The Illini used their speed to their advantage and exploited the Beavers’ inexperience with playing on a larger rink to get the 2-0 win Friday, but Minot State seemed to adjust well for Saturday.

Minot State scored the fi rst goal just fi ve minutes into Satur-day’s opening period, but Illinois responded with two straight goals from sophomore forward John Olen and junior forward Kyle Varzino. Minot State closed the eventful fi rst period with another goal to tie the game 2-2.

Five minutes into the second period, the Illini broke the tie with a goal from senior forward Matt Welch, but just 30 seconds later, the Beavers answered back

to tie the game again.Both goaltenders tightened up

and played great for the rest of the game, and not even an extra overtime period could end the stalemate, so it came down to a shootout.

After five straight fantas-tic stops by senior goalie Nick Clarke, Minot State junior cap-tain Michael Jordan fi nally got a puck into the back of the net. None of the six Illini attempts were successful, and the game ended with a 4-3 victory for the Beavers.

“Close ones like that are always really tough,” senior forward Eddie Quagliata said. “Just from my aspect with the shootout, when we’re shooting second and have a chance to win the game and it didn’t go through for us, it stings a little more.”

Even though Illinois couldn’t pull out a weekend sweep, Fabbri-ni thought the team played well all weekend and thinks the Illini are peaking at the right time.

“I told them it’s nothing to hang our heads about,” he said. “Obviously nobody’s happy with the result, but the effort and pro-cess was where it needed to be. We’ve played four great games in a row.”

The Big Pond was rocking as huge crowds came to support the Illini during alumni weekend. The electric atmosphere carried

the Illini through two hard-fought games and even left senior cap-tain Austin Bostock speechless after Friday night’s 2-0 victory.

“We weren’t expecting the sup-port from the student body and community like that, and it was amazing,” Bostock said. “It was one of the biggest crowds this year and they were loud, and they were chanting. It was a fun game to be a part of, I’ll tell you that much.”

The Illini matched the crowd’s energy from the initial puck drop to the game-ending buzzer in Fri-day night’s victory. Minot State had the size advantage, with 15 players on the roster at least 6 feet tall, but Illinois used its speed to keep the puck in their offensive zone for the majority of the fi rst period and delivered plenty of big hits.

Clarke was in top form and made some huge saves that ignit-ed the fans and his teammates in the second period, as the Illini were the fi rst to fi nd the back of the net with a goal from fresh-man defenseman Austin Zima. Olen padded the lead with a short-handed goal just minutes later, and Clarke handled the rest on his way to securing his third shutout of the season.

“The crowd getting into it was what pumped me up the most,” Clarke said after Friday’s win. “The guys in front of me played

great tonight and they made it easy on me. Getting the shutout was nice, but in the end, we’re just trying to get the ‘W’ every night.”

The Illini outshot the Beavers 42 to 24 on Friday night, and everything seemed to be going right for Illinois as it won a large percentage of faceoffs and got to the majority of the loose pucks. Fabbrini attributed that to the Illini’s speed.

“That’s the way you neutralize size, with speed,” he said. “(Minot State is) a lot bigger than we are, but we skate better than they do, in my opinion. When we’re skat-ing and moving our feet consis-tently and making a commitment to playing that way, we’re going

to create a lot of chances offen-sively. Size isn’t that much of a factor for us.”

This was the fi rst time Minot State visited the Big Pond since 2003, so no one on their roster had any experience playing in such a large rink and Illinois exploit-ed that.

“I think it’s hard for any team, especially a team that’s nev-er played here before to adjust to this,” Bostock said. “They watched a little bit of our prac-tice on Thursday and when they walked in, the looks on their faces were just priceless.”

Illinois won’t have the lux-ury of playing at the Big Pond next weekend as they’ll travel to

Iowa State for their third straight matchup against a top-10 team. The team is looking at every game as a playoff game from here on, and it needs every win it can get in order to make the ACHA national tournament.

“Look for us to get better,” Bos-tock said. “That’s the only way you can improve. Look in the mir-ror after 60 minutes, come down here, look left and right and make sure you can say to your brother that you played as hard as you could for him. We can’t lose. It’s playoff hockey.”

The Illinois women’s tennis team lost its undefeated record to No. 23 Notre Dame this weekend but stole a win at home against No. 25 Texas Christian, putting them at 1-1 against top-25 teams this weekend. They were buoyed by a resurgent performance from an experienced player.

Senior Allison Falkin dropped her national ranking after a poor fall season and was pulled from the lineup midway through last weekend due to an illness. Falkin and her doubles partner Jerricka Boone dropped their only doubles match on the weekend.

This weekend was a little different.

On Friday, Falkin and Boone knocked off Notre Dame’s Jen-nifer Kellner and Monica Robin-son, the No. 26 doubles pair in the

country, but the Illini fell 4-3 to the Fighting Irish in South Bend. Falkin and Boone continued their success on Sunday with a 6-3 vic-tory over TCU’s Monika Sirilova and Stefanie Tan.

“It was defi nitely a good con-fi dence builder,” Falkin said. “I know that we’re traveling next week, so I’m happy to get this win and move on with some positive momentum

“It would have been really nice to beat Notre Dame, but I’m hap-py with where we are.”

On Sunday, Falkin added a win at the second singles spot to help the Illini knock off the Horned Frogs 6-1. Melissa Kopinski lost to Mimi Fotopoulos in a tiebreak-er at fi rst singles for Illinois’ only loss of the day. After trading sets, the pair played a tiebreaker set that Fotopoulos won 12-10. The

penultimate point of the match was a hotly disputed call that went TCU’s way, drawing a cho-rus of boos from the Atkins Ten-nis Center crowd.

Head coach Michelle Dasso was proud of the experience her squad picked up against both teams, and despite the loss at Notre Dame, she expressed her pleasure with her team’s work this weekend.

“Obviously we would have liked to have gone 2-0 this week-end, but it was a heck of a bat-tle out there on Friday,” Dasso said. “It was a gutsy performance today. Obviously it helps when you get an extra point; they had a default at sixth singles. The rest of the matches we had to stay focused, and I credit the girls for the passion they played with.”

In total, the Illini went 8-4

and 4-2 in singles and doubles, respectively. This puts the Illini’s season totals at 26-4 in singles and 11-4 in doubles.

The Illini freshmen continued to impress; Boone, Alexis Casati and Louise Kwong combined to go 4-1 in singles on the weekend.

The Illini face No. 28 Oklaho-ma next Saturday and will battle Wichita State on Sunday. Both matches are away.

“Sometimes, the travel, it wears on you a bit,” Dasso said. “This coming weekend is going to be big for us ... it’s going to be a quick week and we’ve just got to stay focused and stay healthy.”

Facing one of the worst offenses in the Big Ten, the Illi-nois defense made Ohio State look like the cream of the con-ference Thursday night.

In a matchup of middling Big Ten teams, it was Ohio State (14-10, 4-4 Big Ten) who pulled away with an imposing offensive attack in the 90-64 victory over the Illini (9-12, 2-5).

The Buckeyes aren’t normally the ones lighting up the score-board. Ohio State ranks sec-ond-to-last in the conference in scoring offense, averaging 65.1 points per game. The 90 points was a season-high.

Ameryst Alston led the way for Ohio State with 31 points and 10 assists. The sophomore came into the game averaging just 2.6 assists per game but posted the double-double in the victory. Raven Ferguson add-ed 24 points, six rebounds and four assists and Martina Eller-be recorded 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Buckeyes shot a scorch-ing 57.7 percent from the fi eld and outrebounded the Illini 34-21. Ohio State also had a 25-6 advantage in made free throws.

“I thought Ohio State offen-sively was as good as I’ve seen them play,” head coach Matt Bollant said. “We struggled to guard (Alston and Ferguson) and their penetration broke us down. They did a great job of fi nding shots and getting fouled.”

Illinois couldn’t keep up with the Buckeyes on offense and posted only two bench points — a Taylor Gleason jumper with

1:23 left in a 23-point defi cit.Just one game after setting

her career-high for points, freshman Jacqui Grant post-ed a new high water mark with 23 points on Thursday. Amber Moore broke out of her recent shooting slump to record 20 points. The Illini starters dealt with foul trouble — a problem that has plagued the team in recent contests. Ivory Craw-ford fouled out, while Moore and Alexis Smith picked up four fouls apiece.

“I’m probably as aggres-sive as any coach in the coun-try with playing kids with foul trouble,” Bollant said. “But it’s pretty hard to do with three in the fi rst half.”

Crawford recorded a season-high seven steals to go with 12 points.

The Illini were quick out of the gate, blitzing Ohio State to a 16-5 start. Over the next six minutes, that lead would disap-pear as the Buckeyes ripped off an 18-3 run to take the lead. Ohio State blew the game open late in the fi rst half by pushing a three point lead to a 47-35 margin at halftime. The Illini would nev-er get closer than 12 the rest of the way.

“At halftime, we talked about getting some stops and getting back in the game,” Bollant said. “But we never did that through-out the whole second half.

“We’re obviously not where we want to be,” Bollant added. “We’re a ways off.”

The No. 19 Illinois men’s tennis team suffered its fi rst two losses of the season this weekend when it fell to both No. 15 Duke and North Carolina on the road.

The Illini looked to uphold their undefeated record against Duke on Friday but went down early when Duke secured the doubles point. No. 4 ranked duo Ross Gui-gnon and Tim Kopinski recorded the only doubles win for Illinois with a 7-4 tiebreaker win over

Michael Redlicki and Jason Tahir.Sophomore Jared Hiltzik,

ranked No. 4 nationally in sin-gles, evened the score at 1-1 when he overcame No. 29 Redlicki in three sets, 0-6, 6-2, 6-5(5). Junior Farris Gosea chalked up another point for the Illini with a three-set victory over Fred Saba, 5-6, 6-4, 6-4, but it would be the Illi-ni’s last as the Blue Devils would win out the other four singles matches in a fi nal match score of 5-2. Among the fallen Illini in singles was No. 46 junior Tim

Kopinski, who was only able to pull the fi rst set away from No. 52 Tahir, 6-2, 2-6, 2-6.

Traveling from Durham, N.C., to Chapel Hill, N.C. overnight, the Illini faced similiar results against North Carolina, falling 5-2 yet again. While Guignon and Kopinski won as a duo for the sec-ond day in a row, 6-1, the doubles point fell into enemy hands, and the Illini went down early.

This time, Hiltzik wasn’t able to hold on, as the Tarheels’ Brayden Schnur downed him in straight

sets, 5-6(5), 4-6. Kopinski fell to No. 17 Ronnie Schneider in simil-iar fashion to Friday, taking the fi rst set at 6-5(5) before losing the next two 2-6, 2-6. Gosea and junior Blake Bazarnik were the only to record points for the Illini singles.

Illinois will now head home for a string of three home match-es, beginning this Wednesday against No. 22 Notre Dame.

while three scored in dou-ble fi gures. Illinois’ 12 assists don’t do justice to the ball movement that took place on Saturday. There were fewer isolation attacks and far more touches in the paint. Every-thing was moving toward the rim. Whether it was an Egwu post look or a drive by Abrams, Illinois was taking high percentage shots.

The players fed off the crowd and played their most intense game of the season.

“Our togetherness changed,” Tracy Abrams said. “We understood you gotta keep fi ghting, keep grinding each possession.”

Illinois did just that, hus-tling down the fl oor, battling for every loose ball and even sacrifi cing its bodies when necessary (Bertrand dove over the scorer’s table right in front of me at one point and almost crushed a dude’s laptop).

No one wants to hear about moral victories in the midst of a seven-game losing skid,

but you’d have to be a fool to ignore the progress that took place on Saturday. Illinois stopped talking about togeth-erness and toughness and started demonstrating it.

There’s fi nally something to take away from a loss for the Illini. Groce took risks, mix-ing and matching youthful lineups, and the results were encouraging. Maybe he found something in Nunn and Hill that’s more than a fl ash-in-the-pan. The duo combined for 14 points and fi ve assists in only 24 minutes. Maybe he found something in letting Ber-trand get his turn as the pri-mary ball handler. Maybe the team realized what ball move-ment and unselfi sh play can accomplish.

Yes, Illinois is 13-9 and light years away from an NCAA tournament berth, but this team showed the grit, tough-ness and selfl essness neces-sary to be an upper-tier team. There’s no shame in that.

The win also gave Carroll a slice of coaching history as he became just the third coach to win both a college national title and a Super Bowl — the others being Jimmy Johnson (Miami, Dallas Cowboys) and Barry Swit-zter (Oklahoma, Dallas Cowboys).

having won just a combined nine games in the previous two years, and surprisingly fi ring coach Jim Mora after just one season.

Carroll was anxious to show he could succeed at the highest level of the game.

He, too, set a high bar when the season began, saying the team expected it could get to, and win, the Super Bowl.

And if there was a time that seemed an unbelievable thought, it doesn’t anymore.
