Center for East Asian and Pacifi c Studies along with the Chinese language program in the Depart-ment of East Asian Languages and Cultures.
“We thought the content of the proposal fi t with our research missions. It’s a research-orient-ed proposal,” said Nicholas Bur-bules, chair of the University General Policy Committee. “I think it’s another step toward the University being an international partner with nations around the world.”
A $150,000 startup grant from the Chinese Ministry of Educa-tion, matched by already commit-ted funds from campus, the Col-lege of Education and the Offi ce of International Programs and Stud-ies, will provide initial funding for the institute.
At the end of the fi ve-year peri-od, the institute will go through a review process, and if the review indicates it is successful, a pro-posal may be made to make the institute permanent.
In May 2006, fellow Big Ten member Michigan State Univer-sity, in partnership with the Open
University of China, established its own Confucius Institute as part of its College of Education.
“The mission of our CI is to pro-mote Chinese language learning for U.S. students,” said Ruhui Ni, associate director of MSU’s Con-fucius Institute.
MSU’s institue has been named Confucius Institute of the Year by the Chinese Ministry of Edu-cation for three years in a row.
According to Ni, who has worked at the institute since it opened almost seven years ago, MSU’s institute makes materials available on their website free of charge to encourage students from elementary to adult levels to learn about the Chinese language and culture.
Hua-Hua Chang, professor of educational psychology, will be the director of the University’s institute.
According to the proposal, the board of directors for the institute will be composed of representa-tives from Illinois, the Chinese partner University (Jiangxi Nor-mal University) and Confucius Institute Headquarters.

Clark said that police offi cers are participating in social media efforts because they believe that it is benefi cial for the public.
“It’s an information world,” he said. “And I’m just trying to get more information out there to the public about what’s going on with the city of Champaign.”
Survey would let professors rate their departments

CONFUCIUS
BY LAUREN ROHRSTAFF WRITER
Faculty members could have the chance to voice their opinions and concerns regarding shared governance at the college and department levels by the end of the academic year.
At the Senate Executive Com-mittee meeting Monday, Nicholas Burbules , chair of the Senate’s General University Policy Com-mittee, led a discussion regard-ing his drafted proposal for an “evaluation of shared gover-nance practices in departments and colleges.”
This Web-based survey would allow faculty members to rate their departments and colleges on communication between fac-ulty and administrators, accord-ing to the draft. Survey questions would cover the topics of budget-ing, hiring faculty and governing bylaws within each department.
Burbules said this would be a broad, general survey of about 10 questions and would allow facul-ty members to anonymously rate their departments without identi-fying their specifi c departments.
“We don’t have enough infor-mation based on this survey to draw conclusions about individual units,” Burbules said.
He added that responses show-ing any specifi c or major con-cerns may trigger further inqui-ry and investigation.
Although the survey is in pre-liminary discussion stages, Bur-bules said he hopes to keep dis-cussions continuous throughout the next couple of meetings.
SEC member Joyce Tolliver said senators should also think
about whether such a survey should be administered by the SEC or the General University Policy Committee .
At last week’s Senate meeting, faculty members were split on the issue of unionization. While some believed collective bargaining would be a benefi cial change for faculty members, others stood by the current departmental struc-ture of shared governance.
Burbules supported the idea of shared governance, but said if individual faculty members see a problem in the current sys-tem, they should be able to freely express their concerns.
“We can think that shared gov-ernance is working just great at the campus and University lev-els,” he said. “But if the indi-vidual faculty members are in agreement that they aren’t being listened to ... it’s our job as the Senate to get that information so that these situations could be iden-tifi ed and hopefully remedied.”
SEC member John Kindt said he believed all faculty members should be alerted of their depart-ments’ bylaws before a survey is conducted, as some may be unaware that their units have any sort of set rules.
Although no decisions regard-ing the survey were made at the meeting, Burbules said he hoped a formal proposal could be reviewed at the next SEC meet-ing on March 11. If approved, he said the survey would ideally be administered by the end of the academic year.
Pentagon considers scaling back dronesBY LOLITA C. BALDORTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. — The Pentagon for the fi rst time is considering scaling back the massive buildup of drones it has overseen in the past few years, both to save money and to adapt to changing security threats and an increased focus on Asia as the Afghanistan war winds down.
Air Force leaders are saying the military may already have enough unmanned aircraft systems to wage the wars of the future. And the Pentagon’s shift to Asia will
require a new mix of drones and other aircraft because countries in that region are better able to detect unmanned versions and shoot them down.
If the Pentagon does slow the huge building and deployment pro-gram, which was ordered several years ago by then-Defense Secre-tary Robert Gates, it won’t affect the CIA drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere against ter-ror suspects. Those strikes were brought center stage last week during the confi rmation hearing for White House counterterror
chief John Brennan, President Barack Obama’s pick to lead the CIA.
Gen. Mike Hostage, command-er of Air Combat Command, said senior leaders are analyzing the military’s drone needs and discus-sions are beginning. But he said the current number patrolling the skies overseas may already be more than the service can afford to maintain. Overall, Pen-tagon spending on unmanned air-craft has jumped from $284 mil-lion in 2000 to nearly $4 billion in the past fi scal year, while the num-
ber of drones owned by the Penta-gon has rocketed from fewer than 200 in 2002 to at least 7,500 now. The bulk of those drones are small, shoulder-launched Ravens owned by the Army.
The discussions may trigger heated debate because drones have become so important to the military. They can provide 24-hour patrols over hotspots gather intel-ligence by pulling in millions of terabytes of data and hours of vid-eo feeds, and launch precisely tar-geted airstrikes without putting a U.S. pilot at risk.
Pope’s resignation a matter of old age, fatigue BY MARILYNN MARCHIONETHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The world seems surprised that an 85-year-old globe-trot-ting pope who just started tweet-ing wants to resign, but should it be? Maybe what should be sur-prising is that more leaders his age do not, considering the toll aging takes on bodies and minds amid a culture of constant com-munication and change.
There may be more behind the story of why Pope Benedict XVI decided to leave a job normally held for life. But the pontiff made it about age.
He said the job called for “both strength of mind and body” and said his was deteriorating.
He spoke of “today’s world, subject to so many rapid chang-es,” implying a diffi culty keep-ing up despite his recent debut on Twitter.
“This seemed to me a very brave, courageous decision,
especially because older people often don’t recognize their own decline,” said Dr. Seth Landefeld, an expert on aging and chairman of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Age has driven many leaders from jobs that used to be for life — Supreme Court justices, mon-archs and other heads of state. As lifetimes expand, the woes of old age are catching up with more in seats of power. Some are choosing to step down rather than suffer long declines and disabili-ties as the pope’s last predeces-sor did.
Since 1955, only one U.S. Supreme Court justice — Chief Justice William Rehnquist — has died in offi ce. Twenty-one others chose to retire, the most recent being John Paul Stevens, who stepped down in 2010 at age 90.
When Thurgood Marshall stepped down in 1991 at the age of 82, citing health reasons, the
Supreme Court justice’s answer was blunt: “What’s wrong with me? I’m old. ”
One in 5 U.S. senators is 70 or older, and some have retired rath-er than seek new terms .
The Netherlands’ Queen Beat-rix, who just turned 75, recently said she will pass the crown to a son and put the country “in the hands of a new generation.”
In Germany, where the pope was born, Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is 58, said the pope’s decision that he was no longer fi t for the job “earns my very high-est respect.”
“In our time of ever-length-ening life, many people will be able to understand how the pope as well has to deal with the bur-dens of aging,” she told report-ers in Berlin.
Experts on aging agreed.“People’s mental capacities
in their 80s and 90s aren’t what they were in their 40s and 50s.
Their short-term memory is often not as good, their ability to think quickly on their feet, to execute decisions is often not as good,” Landefeld said. Change is tough-er to handle with age, and lead-ers like popes and presidents face “extraordinary demands that would tax anybody’s physi-cal and mental stamina.”
Dr. Barbara Messinger-Rap-port, geriatrics chief at the Cleve-land Clinic, noted that half of people 85 and older in developed countries have some dementia, usually Alzheimer’s. Even with-out such a disease, “it takes lon-ger to make decisions, it takes longer to learn new things,” she said.
Even so, England’s Queen Eliz-abeth, 86, is still working. Add Abdullah bin Abd al-Aziz al-Saud, king of Saudi Arabia, 88 and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court associate justice, 79, to that list.
As Russia, Kyrgyzstan end their programs, American adopters struggleBY DAVID CRARYTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The lone U.S. adoption agency accredited in Kyrgyzstan is shutting down because of fi nancial troubles, a sudden new setback for about 15 American families battling since 2008 to complete adoptions there. At the same time, another U.S. agency, which specializes in adop-tions from Russia, also is closing.
“We see no other choice but to close our doors,” said Chris-
tian World Adoption, which had handled Kyrgyz adoptions, in an email to the waiting families. The agency, based in Fletch-er, N.C., said an array of fac-tors, in Kyrgyzstan and else-where abroad, had boosted its costs and cut its income to the point where it would fi le for bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Adoption ARK, based in Buffalo Grove, Ill., said it would shut down, blam-ing Russia’s recently imposed
ban on adoptions by Americans. It said its program in Russia had provided more than half its income.
The two closures highlight the challenges facing many U.S. agencies that specialize in international adoptions at a time when those are dwindling year after year. Americans adopted 8,668 foreign children in the 2012 fi scal year, down 62 per-cent from the peak of 22,884 in 2004.
Chuck Johnson, CEO of the National Council for Adoption, said he expected that many more agen-cies would be closing. Those with the best chance of persevering, he said, would be agencies with pro-fessional fundraising operations that have lessened their reliance on client fees.
For the families trying to adopt from Kyrgyzstan, most of whom have spent many thousands of dollars on their quests, the sud-den shutdown of Christian World
Adoption came as a shock. The families said they had received no prior warnings before get-ting an email from the agen-cy on Friday announcing that it was ending operations “effective immediately.”
There was no immediate response Monday to emails and phone messages sent to agency offi cials seeking further comment.
A Christian World Adop-tion client, Shannon Fenske, of Reeseville, Wis., said she and
her husband, Kevin, were dis-mayed by this latest of many setbacks in their quest to adopt a Kyrgyz girl they were matched with in 2008.
“They did not reach out to us beforehand to allow us time to try and make any sort of arrangements,” Fenske said of CWA. “They just dumped it on us on Friday afternoon and ran. We have no idea what the future holds or what our options are at this time.”

Pope Benedict XVI gestures from his popemobile as he leaves a youth gathering in St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican on March 25, 2010. He announced his resignation Monday. When he became pope at age 78, Benedict XVI was already the oldest pontiff elected in nearly 300 years. He's now 85, and in recent years he has slowed down signifi cantly, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences.
Petition posted for student fee for Assembly Hall renovationsDAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
A petition has been posted on the Fighting Illini website to support an Assembly Hall committee proposal to add $25 to the student fees for next fall.
According to the site, the total cost of renovations to Assembly Hall will be $160 million, and the increase in student fees will only provide for around 17 per-cent of the total cost.
Renovations are expected to
begin March of 2014 and contin-ue until August of 2016.
According to the website, renovations should not inter-rupt future basketball seasons. The renovations are to include air conditioning, extra bath-rooms and concession stands, an indoor atrium, a new Illini fan store and a Hall of Fame area. The site also promises increased seating and a private student entrance.
During high school, I thought I had everything figured out. I was the perpetual planner and
worrier. I would go to this college, I would graduate with this degree, I would get this job in this city and live in this building and of course, I had my car picked out. Little did I know how much all of this would change.
The summer going into college, I realized I didn’t like my plan. I didn’t want to go to the Universi-ty of Illinois. I didn’t want to be a surgeon anymore. I didn’t want to suffer through pre-med, medical school, residency, fellowship and so on.
I suddenly had no idea what I wanted to do. And it scared me. I was direction-less. I didn’t like where I was going to college, and I was totally unprepared. All I knew was that I wanted to be at Northwestern.
I was miserable throughout my freshman year. I didn’t want to be here, yet I wanted to do something about it and do something different than other freshmen. Perhaps this was what fueled my desire to get away from this dark place. I always wanted to travel the world, so I looked to studying abroad, by far my biggest risk yet. Thankfully, the University offers short-term study abroad courses during the breaks, which are amazing programs for students not interested in studying abroad for a full semester or year.
Not having been out of the coun-try before, I chose to study abroad in Paris, a relatively safe place compared to the other options, yet a true cosmopolitan city. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for, but I dove in with an open mind.
It was here where I really start-ed to understand the global impact a business could have. It was here where I saw how people of differ-ent cultures and ideas could live in harmony and not despise each other for their beliefs. Studying abroad inspired me to pursue business as a path to opening up an endless amount of doors and to contributing to the global community.
Walking down The Avenue des Champs-Elysees felt like I was walking down Michigan Avenue, worlds apart yet brought together by globalization of business and cul-ture. Global businesses enable con-sumers to participate and engage with each other in new ways, spark innovation at new levels and pro-mote a shared language across cul-tures. And I want to be a part of this.
As a business student, I have always heard stories of people spending 20 to 30 years at one company and retiring there. Two weeks ago, in one of my accountan-cy courses, I had a group presen-tation of a case study on Lincoln Electric, where it was abnormal if an employee didn’t start and retire there.
People of all ages see this as the ideal life, where you work a nine-to-five with nice benefits, get mar-ried, have two children, move every seven years and retire at the same company you started with. It’s the perfect story for the baby boom-
er generation, and it’s what they expect of our generation.
This sounds like a boring, unful-filled and dreadful life.
However, I don’t think that anti-quated life is what we want any-more. It’s certainly not what I want, and recognizing this is a big step, maybe even a little unconventional.
But, because of my experiences, I now see college as an opportunity to explore my interests, to find new friends and to figure my life out. It is a time to take risks and to find my passion.
You should not waste your time and money at college, especially if you don’t need it. It is not a time to follow your parents’ dreams or to be afraid to follow your own dreams. You have an opportunity to explore the unfamiliar and to put yourself in new situations.
If you do find your perfect career, follow it. It’s by far more impor-tant to be happy with what you do. Though, it is equally important not to be afraid to do the unexpected or afraid to do something for you and not for the expectations of others.
At the end of my senior year, I still have no idea what I want to do. But I love that. I don’t think I will ever be able to settle on doing just one thing; there’s just too much to do.
You see, no matter how much you plan, prep and think you have everything figured out, the universe will look at you and laugh, hysteri-cally. It doesn’t care what you want, but you can still find your passion and make use of the time that is given to you. Now is the right time.

Quick, what’s your grade point average? If you’re apply-ing for graduate school or a
scholarship program, you prob-ably already know. But when else will you need your college GPA after graduation? Practically never.
That’s right, ladies and gentle-men, the number that seemingly drives our lives now will weigh next to nothing once we exit aca-demia. Why is this? And if this number truly doesn’t matter for those entering the workforce, why do we think it does?
Call me the ultimate hypocrite for what I’m about to say, but worrying about your grades can actually lower your performance levels. And if the work you do suffers, so does your chance of success.
This goes beyond the socio-logical argument of “feeling like a number.” Not only should you avoid pigeonholing yourself by academic standing, you need to recognize that for the vast major-ity of potential careers, rank will not be a factor. With the excep-tion of medical practice and law school (both advancements in academia, however practical), no employer will open an interview and ask about your GPA. They don’t care about a number. In fact, they don’t even care about you — not yet. They care about the work you have done and the work you can do for the business. So start counting your practical skills (common sense counts for 2 points), because that is the num-ber you’ll want to improve.
Do I care about grades? Of
course I do. I used to obsess over test scores (and mine were never very high) to the point of nau-sea. I equated success with high academic standing, and for some, that may hold true. But then I started interviewing for jobs. I started interning. I started see-ing the truth.
While every job is different, employers told Forbes that they look for five key components in a successful future employee: Professionalism, high-energy, confidence, self-monitoring and intellectual curiosity. What about test scores? Academic stand-ing? More often than not, no one cares.
Of course, some entry-level positions focus on college GPA because they have little else to go on. Evidence of leadership, team-work and flexibility can rough-ly be deduced through GPA. A November column in the New York Times blamed high GPA in 2012 to a sense of entitlement, not the skills and discipline required, according to those CEOs and 135 graduates the reporter surveyed.
Full disclosure, I don’t have a job yet. But as a second semes-ter senior intent on not living my life out of my parent’s basement, my free time has now become my networking agenda. And I’m starting to notice a trend in job searching: good work, not high approval, is what matters. We have been conditioned to think that one leads to the other, but what is good for one professor or boss is abysmal by scale of anoth-er. Subjectivity — it’s what GPA is supposed to eradicate. Num-bers are supposed to be unbiased – fair – but they aren’t.
I have been advised NOT to put my GPA on my resume. The argu-ment is that an employer that interprets a GPA is highly sub-jective. An abysmal score indi-
cates poor academic standing, perhaps even laziness. But a high score does not guarantee com-prehensive interpersonal skills. It’s a lose-lose situation; too low or too high, employers read into numbers. And they are not hir-ing a number — they are (hope-fully) hiring you. Look into your field — see if GPA is absolutely required for a resume. If they don’t ask, you don’t tell. It’s not so much outsmarting the employ-er as it is giving an honest dis-play of who you are. If you are the type of person that the mod-ern academic system conditions, you’re probably not the ideal job candidate. Focusing on the quan-tity of a grade point average over the quality of your work is where GPA fails you and your future employers.
Besides, you will never need your GPA to establish a bank account or apply for credit. You cannot use a 4.0 to purchase a car, refinance a home mort-gage or develop a comprehensive retirement plan. Understanding of the legal system, good human contacts and sound investing skills, however, are things that can serve you for the rest of your life, no matter how your career evolves.
The ability to hold a coherent, much less engaging conversation is valued beyond any test score. People skills are what employ-ees want, even if an internship or job description doesn’t mention eye contact and a firm handshake on its list of requirements. It is true that a high GPA opens doors to further education and scholar-ship aid, but in the world beyond academia, “the real world,” one number is just as good as any other.

Dividing the line between
sympathy and empathy
Your GPA? Meh
EDITORIAL CARTOON DANE GEORGES THE DAILY ILLINI
Passions waiting to be discovered
I think a lot about words: how they fit together, what they mean in a given context, if my usage of them
remains accurate even as their defi-nitions change. As Valentine’s Day approaches, empathy and sympathy occupy my mind most.
Empathy is the ability to under-stand someone else’s pain; you’ve been through what they are going through, and as a result, know exact-ly what they are dealing with. Sym-pathy is different. It lacks the per-sonal connection to the event and doesn’t have near as much power.
That personal connection to an event or issue defines us. What we experience and whom we experi-ence it with shapes our identities. Dick Cheney, for example, one of the staunchest Republicans, sup-ports gay marriage. Why? Last June, his daughter married her longtime partner, Heather, with whom she has two children. But the former vice president has supported gay rights since before her marriage, stating in 2009, “I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish.”
John McCain, again standing in opposition to conventional views of his party, has consistently advocated against the use of torture in military interrogations. McCain also spent more than five years as a prisoner of war, held by the North Vietnamese.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio comes from a family of immigrants, and while he hugs the party line tighter than any upcoming Republican, he has constructed his own immigra-tion reform bill, endorsing a path to citizenship. He’s giving the response to President Obama’s State of the Union address — in English and Spanish.
Now there is no reason why indi-viduals such as Cheney and Rubio couldn’t support these contrasting causes without personal involve-ment. But it remains highly unlike-ly. Think about the abortion issue. According to a 2012 Gallup poll, men lean pro-life over pro-choice 53 per-cent to 38 percent, a 15-point mar-gin, while women are roughly equal, voting 46 percent and 44 percent, respectively.
When events touch us personally, it’s hard to not be changed. It’s hard not to get involved, to want what you went through to be the last time any-one goes through that kind of thing again.
Five years ago, on Valentine’s Day, Steven Kazmierczak entered an oceanography classroom at North-ern Illinois University and opened fire. He killed five people and injured 21 others before killing himself. The first news reports released merely said there was a shooter on cam-pus. The second reports said he had entered a geology classroom. My dad has taught geology at Northern since I before I was in kindergarten. He had a class that day. Cellphones don’t work very well when every-one calls out, and it was hours before we heard from my dad. And you tell yourself things like “He’s fine” and “It’s a big campus” and then his sec-retary calls and asks if you’ve heard from him and all of those small com-forts go away again.
And then you find out he just locked the door to his classroom and kept teaching through the crisis and you punch him and your mom tells him to call next time and it becomes a kind of joke, the tough professor who kept teaching, and you go on. But any time a shooting occurs or a bomb threat gets called in, those same feelings rush back, regardless if it’s idiots playing a prank on your high school or even if it’s on the oth-er side of the country.
I am immensely lucky that I don’t have to be reminded of that every day. That although we knew some of the injured, we didn’t lose any-body. We didn’t lose my dad. So I’m glad I can only sympathize. But the empathy that accompanies personal involvement is an important one. It’s the realization that walking a mile in someone else’s proverbial shoes really can change minds, change hearts, and, say, change legislation on a national scale.
Can sympathy still bring us together? Sure, but it’s empathy that gets things done. It’s empathy that moves us forward, together, forward; it keeps us passing laws, chang-ing societal norms and remember-ing what we would feel like — to be unable to marry the person we love, to feel unsafe at work or school, to be imprisoned, to start from nothing, to work our way up alone.
W endy’s golden, pearly gates opened to its ethereal insides Mon-day at 9 a.m. And so began a new tradi-
tion for our collegiate communi-ty’s post-2 a.m.-on-a-weekend con-sumptive habits. No longer will it be called the “Freshman 15”; instead, this time of our lives will be remembered as the “When-Wen-dy’s-Finally-Reopened 15.”
Officially, we turn to the mighty hamburger in our inebriated states. And officially, we turn to our beloved Wendy’s after an all-nighter at Grainger.
But Wendy’s return to campus-town signals more than just a change in our dietary habits — it will mark a shift in the Universi-ty’s restaurant and dining scene.
Fifteen years ago, campus-town was host to a number of fast-food chain restaurants no longer with us: McDonald’s, Burger King (which was located on the lot of 309 E. Green St.) and, yes, even Wendy’s. Back in the day, Wen-dy’s occupied the building that now houses Chipotle and Noodles & Company. And the business cli-mate, overall, was very different. There used to be a movie theater where the Green Street Towers apartments now are. Four lanes congested traffic, and no one had 20 seconds to spare for a diagonal crosswalk.
The campus’s atmosphere was toxic, unsafe, infested with a gen-eral feeling of “bleh.” It was gen-erally perceived as uninviting to the University’s own students for a variety of reasons (such as pedes-trian safety), and it was a detrac-tor to potential applicants who were considering their future in Champaign-Urbana.
For these reasons, then-Chan-cellor Michael Aiken launched Campustown 2000, a partnership between the city of Champaign and the University to rebuild and refresh the campus’s landscape. The $8 million face-lift was com-pleted with dazzling results: a refined campus able to keep its patrons for a longer time than it takes to walk to class.
In turn, the construction gave way to new, burgeoning business-es, such as Chipotle, Urban Out-fitters, Mia Za’s, Panera and the like. Businesses remaining on this prime real estate property contrib-uted to a 10-year tax to maintain the aesthetic feel of the communi-ty, which eventually drove out less profitable businesses in the area. And, like the Windy City after the Chicago Fire, campustown hasn’t been the same ever since.
The tentative plans for construc-tion at Lot J, next to Legend’s Bar and Grill, will change the kinds of businesses introduced to Green Street and the surrounding area, much like how the Campustown 2000 project did.
According to Matt Wavering, director of commercial brokerage at Coldwell Banker Commercial Devonshire Realty, Wendy’s saw an opportunity for increased busi-ness because the nearby construc-tion, which would house a hotel, apartment building and retail, would bring out-of-town custom-ers. Entrepreneurial decisions like these will determine the variety in dining options and the types of retailers we students will have available to us. It is the decisions like these that make it competi-tive for non-chain stores to remain viable on Green Street (Sliders, anyone?).
As the city of Champaign pushes to become more micro-urban, we’ll see businesses like Wendy’s come back to town.

BY BARBARA ORTUTAYAP TECHNOLOGY WRITER
HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) — The East Coast woke up under a blanket of snow this weekend and collectively documented the experience on the myriad social and mobile inventions of the past decade. Facebook, Twitter and other technologies make it increasingly difficult to stay isolated —even if you’re stuck home alone.
“The funny thing is that I actually checked my Instagram feed before I even looked out my own window,” says Eric Witz, who lives in Medford, Mass.
On Saturday, Witz posted a photo of his car stuck under a “6-foot-high snow drift”. “I always have my phone on me. So checking these things is some-thing I do instinctively when I wake up,” he says. “That proba-bly makes me a sad social media cliché, but it’s the truth.”
As Northeasterners posted photo after photo of kids sled-ding in Central Park and sub-urbanites conquering Mt. Snow-more with their shovels, West Coast wags teased with tweets of sunshine and snapshots of palm trees.
Call it what you will: The Hashtag Snowstorm, the latest Snowpocalypse or Snowtori-ous B.I.G. The weekend white-
out was a lifetime away from the blizzard of 1978, a world not just without social media but one devoid of endless Weather Channel warnings and the life-line of mobile phones. Even the last two years have upended the way we receive information. We’ve moved from text to pho-tos and videos taken on smart phones and we can’t let go.
Kathy Tracy was in junior high school when that famous snowstorm hit Westhaven, Conn., 35 years ago. She still lives there today and some things haven’t changed. Snow is still snow, and people still wait for the streets to be cleared, hoping there is enough food and toilet paper to get by.
“The roads were so bad that my father and I took a sled and walked two miles to the grocery store,” says Tra-cy recalling the ‘78 storm that left as much as 27 inches of snow on the Northeast.
Getting updates of the ‘78 blizzard meant turning on the radio or watching evening news programs. This weekend, Tra-cy says she turned to Twitter and nonstop news coverage to stay informed. She also fol-lows a meteorologist on Face-book and receives updates from CNN, The Wall Street Journal and other news outlets.
While Tracy talked with a reporter on the telephone on Sunday, she was still waiting for plow trucks to clear the three feet of snow the storm heaped on her neighborhood. But the information at the tips of her fin-gers made being stuck at home somewhat more tolerable.
“I guess what’s better is that you are not sitting here wait-ing for the 6 o’clock news, wait-ing to find out what’s going on,” she says.
Still, no matter what century you live in, there are few cures for cabin fever.
“You still have to deal with waiting for the plow,” Tracy says.
A s p e o -ple across the Northeast await-ed plow trucks, looked for flights to resume or simply tried to kill time as the storm passed, they plucked away on their sm a r t ph o ne s
and tablet computers to doc-ument just about every inch of the snowfall. On Facebook, mentions of the word snow jumped 15-fold from earlier in the week, the company says, though it did not give specif-ic numbers. On Sunday, one of the most-used terms in status updates was “no school tomor-row” as students rejoiced and parents shared updates with one another.

the people were dangerous. “You never know,” Cortina
said. “You always hear about sketchy stuff happening due to online interactions.”
Not all are so convinced on the fun, quirky ways to meet a future significant other. Mela-nie Angarone, freshman in LAS,
said she isn’t into online love connections.
“Maybe when I’m older,” Angarone said, “but for now, I’m good meeting people the old-fashioned way.”
Tarah Lim, freshman in LAS, said that she wouldn’t use an app to meet people because she prefers her connections to come naturally.
Regardless of what one may think of apps like Tinder, it’s
hard to deny that the app with over 35 million user profiles is adding to the ever-changing way people are connecting. With the never-ending stream of new technology, there is no telling what might come next with apps and the unique ways they will connect us to those we might not have known otherwise.
Due to technological advanc-es within the last decade, communication seems
to be defined by its conve-nience. Students can text their friends rather than call them, email professors and associ-ates rather than meet in-person and download entire lectures from class online rather than actually attend. But where is the line drawn between using technology for efficient com-munication and lazily averting responsibilities?
Certainly, when it comes to reporting crimes, implement-ing technological methods was meant to improve on a citizen’s responsibility to protect one’s community. But I don’t think that has been its only effect.
Many U.S. states and cities started to use the Crime Stop-pers program, “Text-a-Tip,” in 2008 as a tool to encourage citizens to assist police forces in fighting crime. The service, available on this campus, allows people to report information about a crime anonymously by calling 217-373-TIPS or texting TIP397 along with the message to CRIMES (274637).
This service seems pretty beneficial at first. Due to the general popularity of texting, this widely opens communica-tion between police forces and average citizens. Victims or wit-nesses can contact police with-out bringing attention to them-selves by speaking out loud. You would think it’s a win-win.
The anonymous factor seems to be a positive aspect of the service, but it calls into ques-tion what should be encour-aged when it comes to reporting crimes. Even though anony-mous, fabricated information intentionally given to the police can still result in a criminal charge. However, when it’s true, should someone be afraid to speak out? Is reporting a crime something to be ashamed of? I would think not, but these ser-vices allow the user to think so.
Deputy Chief of Police Skip Frost explained how implement-ing technology has been a chal-lenge for the campus police. It becomes a problem when ser-vices, such as the Department of Public Safety email, are used to report a crime, Frost said. Because there’s no feedback ele-ment, the police have no way of receiving more information in real time like they would if that person had called in.
For some, advances in tech-nology not only make communi-cation easier, but they set new standards of communication as well. So in cases where conve-niently texting isn’t available, that witness may not contact the police at all.
The University has 627 emer-gency phones located across campus in bus shelters, eleva-tors, parking garages, stair-wells, inside buildings and out-side. In 2012, calls for actual emergencies on average com-prised 9.5 percent of the emer-gency phones’ use, with 42.5 percent being for accidental activations and the other 47.9 percent for “other” uses. One of the many ways emergency phones can provide assistance is if someone in need of help
is without a cellphone or other mobile device. But will that per-son search for other resourc-es, like the emergency phones, or forego contacting the police altogether?
Years ago, there was an inci-dent on the Quad, Frost related, and a person involved walked all the way to their apartment with-out contacting the police. When Frost asked why they didn’t use one of the emergency phones, that person responded that there were none on the Quad.
“Well, there’s one on every corner of the Quad and in every building,” Frost said. “I don’t understand how you walk by them and don’t notice where those are at.”
It may have been a simple issue of not being aware of the safety resources available, but that is a major issue in itself that many are now skipping over. With smart phones and their seemingly limitless com-munication capabilities within your pocket, it’s easy to think that you don’t have to prepare for an emergency.
But cell phones aren’t able to assist in all situations. You may find yourself without one, or one that doesn’t work properly when you need it most. Ultimately, it’s still each citizen’s responsi-bility to know the safety tools at their disposal around them and to report the crimes they witness in order to serve their community.
While technology may seem like your best friend, it cer-tainly shouldn’t become your crutch.

Smartphone app makes dating easy in college BY KAYLA BURNSSTAFF WRITER
Dating and matchmaking services are no new concepts. From sites like match.com that are accessible to anyone with Internet connection, to the reality TV show “Millionaire Matchmaker,” which helps the wealthy fi nd suitable mates, there are endless ways for peo-ple to connect. Now, these services have expanded to smart phone apps.
When they were fi rst gaining popular-ity, dating services were largely target-ed at an older demographic . But in the days of abundant apps and social media platforms, it was only a matter of time before the creation of a service geared toward the college-aged demographic.
Smart phone apps like OkCupid, Grin-dr and Blendr paved the way for servic-es that send notes to those in the user’s vicinity using the phone’s GPS. “Tin-der” is a new app in the category that is currently on the market for Apple and Android users.
Tinder is free to download and puts a new spin on the age old “Hot or Not” idea. The user simply logs into his or her Facebook through the app, and the app accesses some of the user’s Face-book information.
The user’s Tinder avatar is his or her current Facebook profi le picture. He or she can add a personal biography and choose up to four more pictures. The app then shows the user’s profi le to oth-ers in the area. Other users can also see how many mutual Facebook friends they share with a potential match when they view his or her profi le.
If the other users likes what they see, they simply swipe right. If they aren’t interested, then they swipe left. If two users, “like,” or swipe right, they are notifi ed that they have been matched. From there, the users can message back and forth.
The app was launched in the fall of 2012 by co-founders Sean Rad, Justin Mateen, Jonathan Badeen and Chris-topher Gulczynski. Since then, it has slowly been gaining a large following on college campuses.
Grace Cortina, freshman in LAS, has been using Tinder for about a month. She learned about the app from a friend from another school.
“I thought the app was fun and it’s exciting to fi nd matches,” Cortina said. “It’s addicting to go through and say yes or no to others.”
The addicting aspect of the app that many are talking about could be because there is no notifi cation of some-one rejecting your profi le.
Users never know if someone said “no” to them but can see when some-one said “yes.”
Cortina said one of her dislikes of the app was being matched up with someone who lived really close to her. She noted that it made her nervous she would run in to an admirer who could easily spot and approach her. She also didn’t feel safe giving out her location, even though she didn’t feel like any of

TRADITION
BY TAYLOR ELLISSTAFF WRITER
When looking for tradition on campus, University students don’t have to look much further than Zorba’s Restaurant locat-ed at 627 E. Green St. After
being in business for 40 years, it seems as though the Greek restaurant’s main dish is still doing the job — the gyro.
Matt Mortenson , who has been work-ing at the restaurant for over 30 years and has been the owner for the past 15, explained that Zorba’s legacy is kept alive by their traditional gyros. Their legendary gyro consist of pita bread, gyros meat, cucumber sauce — or Tzatzi-ki sauce, as it’s called in Greek — toma-toes and onions.
Zorba’s also offers several vegetables that customers can add to their gyros. Different sauces, cheeses and a spicy feta spread are other popular options that customers can add to customize their gyro.
Mortenson believes that the unique taste of the gyros and the restaurant’s homemade cucumber sauce that goes on the sandwich is what makes the dish so popular among customers.
“I’ll have people ask me for the recipe and I say, ‘No, if I tell you, I’d have to kill you,’” Mortenson said. “It’s something that’s been here forever and I think mak-ing our own sauces is one of our trade-marks here.”
To accommodate the fact that many restaurants are increasing their portion sizes, Zorba’s has also done the same. Instead of having the option of a two, three or four-ounce gyro, customers now have the choice of a four, six or eight-ounce sandwich.
The gyros, which are 80 percent beef and 20 percent lamb, are already made into cones when they’re delivered to the restaurant. They’re then roasted on a vertical broiler, or “gyros machine” as Mortenson calls it.
“We actually used to build our own when I fi rst worked here, which was a really interesting job,” Mortenson said. “I could still do it if I had to, but it’s just a more consistent product now.”
Consistent taste and the tradition of the restaurant are very important to Morten-son. He explained that even though many establishments are trying to create some-thing new for their menus, Zorba’s is doing just the opposite. After a 2011 fi re damaged the restaurant, it was reopened with a new layout, but the food stayed the same. By always using the same recipes, Zorba’s is able to keep their returning customers satisfi ed and their reputation on campus alive and well.
However, that doesn’t mean that Mortenson is reluctant to try a few new things with the gyros. For example, when ordering a combo meal with fries, cus-tomers can ask for the fries to be placed inside the gyro.
Mortenson explained that, in the past, he has also experimented with the pita bread that’s used for the gyros by using it for items such as egg sandwiches.
Mortenson said some customers are uneasy about eating a traditional gyro because it contains lamb meat. There-fore, in order to accommodate more peo-ple, chicken gyros are also offered by the restaurant.
“We’ve had the chicken gyros for several years, it’s really popular,” Mortenson said. “It’s not super spicy but we usually make it with a honey dijon sauce that we make ourselves. That sauce to me is like the best honey dijon I’ve ever had in my life, so I put it on all kinds of things.”
Mortenson is ultimately trying to keep the tradition of the restaurant alive while giving alumni a familiar place to return to when they come back to campus. By creat-ing the same gyros they’ve always had and a similar atmosphere, Mortenson makes Zorba’s “a place people can come back to.”
Zorba’s is open Sunday through Thurs-day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.

“The country where the generals are super-stars is a lame country,
I mean it’s a lame country. ... I hate that. ... It’s about time to give more space to beautiful people, nice people, young peo-ple. ... No, not the politicians, I mean every country where politicians are superstars is a lame country, like (Joseph) Stalin-style or (Ruhollah) Kho-meini-style. I don’t like that. I like normal people to be super-star; I like talented people to be superstar. I like people who work, people who work hard. People who make nice poetry, nice songs, I like that.”
These are the words of Damir Niksic , a Bosnian Mus-lim (Bosniak) who fl ed his homeland of what is now Bos-nia and Herzegovina to avoid Europe’s bloodiest confl ict since World War II. In the post-war Balkans, many young and old alike saw polarizing politicians that led the region to a genocidal war as heroes. Hearing Niksic’s words struck a chord with me because it made me realize that even though I grow tired of hearing about how amazing athletes, such as Ray Lewis and Lebron James, are, our cultural idols could be much worse than athletes.
Growing up in the Midwest — almost seven years in Indi-ana and the rest in good old Illinois — I know all too well how our youth turn to idolize basketball and football play-ers. Living in Fishers, Ind., during the twilight of Reg-gie Miller’s career and Pey-ton Manning’s heyday, it was hard to fi nd any male (myself included) that didn’t idolize the Indy superstars. Their skills and feats were impres-sive, but in the end what are any of these athletes really accomplishing?
Let’s say Illinois men’s bas-ketball were to win the nation-al championship this year. What would that do for the world? What would it do for you?
Perhaps a short econom-ic spike to the University for licensed-merchandise sales, our school plastered on ESPN for weeks, but America’s prob-lems and our problems would still persist. Unemployment would still hover around 8 per-cent, our national debt would still be more than $16 trillion and your tuition would contin-ue to increase.
As an aside, I want to iterate that I love sports. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t cover hockey and football for this paper. What I don’t like is how success-ful athletes are often far more revered in our culture than those who truly make a differ-ence in this world; it infuri-ates me.
While college students have the opportunity to learn how to help fi x some of the world’s problems, some waste entire lectures browsing through ESPN.com pretending that Mel Kiper actually knows what he is talking about. Unfortunate-ly, they are not taking advan-tage of what so few worldwide are afforded: a world-class education.
But Niksic’s words made me take a step back. Yes, the over-infl ated importance of athletes in American culture is absurd, but it is a hell of a lot better than our youth idolizing genocidal dictators, leading to the true hatred of one’s neigh-bor , like Niksic’s fellow Balkan dwellers have done.
Ever since I watched the crooked-nosed Owen Wilson depict downed Naval pilot Scott O’Grady and fellow Dan-ville, Ill. native Gene Hack-man depict his commanding offi cer in the movie “Behind Enemy Lines” in fi fth grade, I have been enthralled with the confl ict.
How could such awful atroc-ities happen in 20th century Europe, only 322 miles away from Rome? We are talking over 100,000 people dead, the longest siege of any city (Sara-jevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina) in modern history, rape com-mitted as an act of war and concentration camps — yes, you read that correctly, con-centration camps in 1995 . All in a country that hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics.
Unfortunately, even after peace had been negotiated, some in the Balkan states have

Local cancer patient joins pink-clad Illini at Play 4Kay game
BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGERSTAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s basket-ball team had a new face on its bench during Sunday’s Play 4Kay breast cancer aware-ness game.
Jen Smith wore a pink auto-graphed Illinois jersey as she high-fi ved team members coming off the court and lis-tened in on head coach Matt Bollant’s directions during timeouts.
Although Smith didn’t con-tribute on the court, she gave the team something to pon-der during a pregame break-fast when she shared her story with the team.
In 2007, Smith, who was 30, was nursing her newborn son, Corbin, and she noticed a lump on her breast. Doctors identi-fi ed the lump as breast cancer and prescribed six months of chemotherapy.
After the chemo ended, Smith thought the worst was behind her, but three months
later, she realized she was mistaken.
In 2008, Smith’s cancer had spread to her bones, mean-ing that she now has termi-nal Stage IV breast cancer. Her life expectancy from that point was three years.
“Statistically, when I should have been dead two years ago, I left my dream job as an adviser at Parkland Col-lege,” Smith said. “I loved working there, but I knew my body couldn’t hold up with working full time, being a full-time cancer patient with treatment all of the time and, most importantly, taking care of my son.”
When Smith was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer, she made it her goal to see Corbin go to kindergarten in fi ve years. The fi ve-year sur-vival rate for Stage IV can-cer was 15 percent. In August, at 35 years old, she saw that

For the fi rst time in the last three years, Illinois won back-to-back games against top-25 teams. But while wins against Indiana and Minnesota amount-ed to a week of glory, they weren’t without some famil-iar lows. In each game, Illi-
nois found itself facing signifi -cant defi cits that aligned with much of the Illini’s last month of basketball. Fueled by gritty defense and clutch playmaking, however, Illinois initiated two comebacks that propelled it to victory.
Illinois’ D.J Richardson fi nishes a layup with a defender on his back during the Illini’s win over No. 1 Indiana at Assembly Hall on Thursday . Richardson helped fuel consecutive comebacks over Indiana and Minnesota.
The Illini trailed the Hoosiers by 12 at halftime and didn’t make a field goal for the first 9:30 of the first half.
Illinois stared down a 62-49 deficit to Indiana on Thursday with a little under 10 minutes to play before proceeding to rip off a furious comeback to secure the upset victory.
Here’s what the Illini accomplished in those final 10 minutes:
Went on a 25-10 run Forced five turnovers
Went 3-for-6 from 3-point range.Went 8-for-13 from the field and 6-for-7 from the free-throw line
Against Minnesota on Sunday, the Illini finally woke up with 4:30 remain-ing in the first half. Aus-tin Hollins had just nailed a pair of free throws to give the Golden Gophers a 12-point lead, their largest of the game. From there, Illinois went on an 17-4 run that ended with a D.J. Richardson 3, sending the Illini into the locker room with a one-point lead at halftime.
Here’s what the Illini ac-complished in those final 4:30 of the first half:

IllinoisIllinois Then-No. 18 Minnesota
I consider myself a procras-tinator. I tell myself I’ll get things done, and then ... well,
you know. Told myself to do work on Thursday night, after the Illini game. Plans changed drastically, in about 0.9 sec-onds. Told myself to do work on Saturday night, but Notre Dame and Louisville decided to serenade me with fi ve over-
times. Didn’t even consider doing work on Sunday, the Illi-ni and the Grammys were on. Double whammy.
To think that my lack of pro-ductivity streak would culmi-nate at the beginning of anoth-er class-fi lled week with the occasional session of FIFA 13 would most likely be the right answer. “Valentine’s Day this week, right? Someone spe-cial on your mind, Maxwell?” My subconscious would be half correct in that instance because it’s not so much some-one on my mind but something. Alas, we’ve reached the knock-
out stage of the UEFA Cham-pions League. Sixteen teams and 32 fi xtures played over the course of a month to cut the fi eld to eight. One match on each teams’ home soil with the winner determined by aggre-gate scoring. So compelling for how dragged out it sounds.
As the January transfer window closes, teams have been either strengthening or declining due to the climate of big money, European soccer. So with eight teams in action this week in their fi rst legs of action, I’m about to take you on a column-sized Eurotrip.

Women’s basketball raises breast cancer awareness, secures win over Minnesota
2B Tuesday, February 12, 2013 The Daily Illini | www.DailyIllini.com
Dear Tyler,I’ve never been one for
writing letters, but given the spirit of the holiday season, I feel I owe you an apology.
You see, Tyler, I doubted you. Actually, doubt is not a strong enough word. I wrote you off, stuck a fork in your back and kicked you to the curb. It would have been hard not to.
The sparks were flying for a while there in November and December. Things were fresh, exciting, new. You were shoot-ing better than 50 percent from the 3 and actually cleaning up a bit on the glass as well. I was nervous you were leading me on for the first few weeks, but after you sent Gardner-Webb pack-ing at the last second, I start-ed to believe we had something special.
Then the cracks started to sur-face. It wasn’t obvious at first — a 1-for-7 appearance here, a one-rebound performance there — but they slowly grew into chasms that were too wide to ignore.
The chemistry from Decem-ber was simply gone. The easy-going confidence and stroke were nowhere to be seen. It reached a tipping point after you
stood me up twice in one week. I ended my Christmas break early, driving all the way back to Champaign from Nashville, to see you and you failed to show up. All I got for my troubles was a scoreless, two-rebound no-show against Minnesota before the truly abysmal, two-point, one-rebound showing in Madison against Wisconsin.
It was clear we needed a break. You were stripped of your starter’s duties and relegated to the bench, but nothing seemed to get your attention. You looked lost out on the court, your mojo a thing of the past. You were afraid to shoot. You had become a stretch-the-defense power for-ward that no longer could stretch the defense. You were a punch line (OK, so admittedly many of
the jokes were mine).Things reached rock bottom
against Wisconsin the second time, a laughable performance in which you played just eight minutes, your lowest total of the season, and recorded only one stat kept in the official box score: a single personal foul. It wasn’t even fun to poke fun at you any longer, I just felt sorry for pil-ing on.
The fork was dug so deep in your back the prongs were dug into the floor. You hadn’t con-nected on a 3 in more than a month, a remarkable 0-for-22 stretch. There was no way you could rekindle the flame, espe-cially not with top-ranked Indi-ana next on the menu.
And then it happened, random-ly, spontaneously, serendipitous-
ly. Incredibly, you returned from the dead. It started with a couple rebounds, a few hustle plays. You were showing that you still cared. I took notice and made a couple notes of it, but thought nothing more of it.
But down 11 with 16 minutes left and Indiana on the verge of blowing the game open, you nailed your first 3 in weeks and my heart skipped a beat. Six minutes later you sunk another one.
And then, improbably, came that fateful moment when you slipped free from your man and found yourself all alone under the basket. In 0.9 seconds, every struggle and strife was erased, as the ball slid from your fin-gertips off the backboard and through the hoop, and the crowd
swarmed the court.But you didn’t stop there,
instead following up on that magical moment with a 16-point effort that saw you drain four more 3’s to aid the Illini’s top-pling of Minnesota on the road.
There is still work to be done, certainly, and the cracks have yet to totally heal. Hurt that deep tends to linger, and while you’ve sucked me back in, a voice in the back of my head is warning me from getting too emotionally invested.
But for now the times are good, so I’ll ignore that voice and live in the moment.
Love,Daniel

Griffey key in wins against Ind., Minn.
BY CLAIRE LAVEZZORIOSTAFF WRITER
Illinois’ top-seeded men’s golf team continued its early-season success with its first program win at the Big Ten Match Play Cham-pionships in Bradenton, Fla., on Saturday.
Playing the championships at The Concession Golf Club, a par-72, 7,177-yard course, the team swept both fifth-seeded Ohio State in semifinals and seventh-seeded Michigan State in the final — 5-0-0 in both matches.
The closest Illinois has ever
come to winning a Big Ten Match Play event was in 2009 and 2011, when the team placed fourth.
The Illini’s play allowed them to go 14-0-1 in three matches at this event, along with 12-of-15 individ-ual matches that concluded before the 17th hole.
“I thought we were very com-mitted,” head coach Mike Small said. “The conviction was there on our part. We haven’t played well here in the past, but this time,we put the pedal to the metal after a couple individual matches were won.”
At the start of the tournament, freshmen Thomas Detry and David Kim each won their match-es 4 and 3, while senior Mason Jacobs won 3 and 1. In addition, professional-to-be Thomas Piet-ers and freshman Charlie Daniel-son captured each of their match-es by one point.
Detry won holes six, eight and nine for a four-point victory over Tee-K Kelly from Ohio State. Kim and the Buckeyes’ Michael Ber-nard parred and bogied hole No. 15, respectively, letting Detry take the 4 and 3 win.
Holding the No. 5 position, Jacobs came from behind after being two holes down after 10 to win 3 and 1 after wins on hole Nos. 12, 14, 16 and 17 against Ohio State’s Matt Turner. Dan-ielson was also able to hold some ground to win 1-up with four holes remaining. Pieters was also able to win his match after Ohio State’s Boo Timko lost both the 14th and 15th holes.
That same afternoon, the Illi-ni took on Michigan State for the championship. All five Illini won their matches before reaching the
17th hole. Pieters claimed an 8 and 7 victory, Danielson won 6 and 5, Detry held a 4 and 3 win, while Kim and Campbell both won 3 and 2.
Small said no one specific play-er stood out in his mind at this event, calling it a “total team effort.”
“For us to win 14 ! out of 15 total points was fantastic,” Small said. “I was really encouraged by everyone’s efforts.”
Illinois men’s golf wins Big Ten Match Play Championships for 1st time
BY DAN BERNSTEINSTAFF WRITER
After three consecutive Big Ten dual-meet losses, the No. 8 Illinois wrestling team bounced back to beat No. 17 Northwestern 24-10 to finish off the conference dual season.
Jesse Delgado has been domi-nant for the Illini at 125 pounds this season, and Sunday’s match against Northwestern proved to be no different, as the sophomore defeated Dominick Malone by a 4-0 decision. With the win, Delga-do improved his overall record to 17-3 and his Big Ten record to 6-1.
The Illini then increased their
lead to 6-0 over the Wildcats after 133-pound No. 10 Daryl Thomas wrestled to a victory over North-western’s Garrison White 14-8. After the Illini’s Steven Rodrigues was defeated by Pat Greco 8-6 in the 141-pound match, 149-pound Caleb Ervin got the Illini back on track as he put four more points on the board by defeating Dylan Marriot by a 13-2 major decision, increasing the Illini lead to 10-3.
“It’s important to start off any meet winning,” head coach Jim Heffernan said. “I think we were really aggressive at almost every weight, which is what we preach every day. We hustled, we
had some emotion, and all those things are really good. Overall, we were pretty happy with the emotion and the fire the guys showed.”
At 157 pounds, No. 2 Jason Welch of Northwestern improved his overall record to 24-1 on the season, as he captured the major decision over the Illini’s Matt Nora. Illinois’ returning All-American at 165 pounds, No. 7 Conrad Polz, then defeated No. 10 Pierce Harger by a 2-0 decision to widen the gap to 13-7.
“I’m a little disappointed in my performance because I wanted to put some more points on the
board for my team,” Polz said. “I really think I need to open up my offense a little more on my feet earlier to get to my shots and focus on scoring early, but the win was important to get my seed for the Big Tens and to make the postseason a little bit easier on myself.”
In one of the more anticipated matches of the night, 174-pounder No. 8 Jordan Blanton took on No. 9 Lee Munster. Blanton lost his pre-vious three matches by close deci-sions against top-10 opponents, but this time was different. He defeat-ed Munster in dominant fashion with a 13-3 major decision.
No. 16 Tony Dallago and No. 14 Mario Gonzalez continued the Illini’s success on the night as they captured victories at 184 and 197 pounds, respectively. Dalla-go won by an 11-0 major decision over Jacob Berkowitz, while Gon-zalez was able to capture his 11th win of the season as he defeated Alex Polizzi 5-2.
The last match of the night ended in a Wildcat victory, as No. 7 Mike McMullan defeated the Illini’s Chris Lopez by a 6-2 decision.

Wrestling defeats No. 17 Northwestern to end conference dual season
DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE Basketball columnist
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Tyler Griffey fades away for a jumpshot during Illinois’ win over Indiana at Assembly Hall on Thursday. Griffy made the final shot with 0.9 seconds left on the clock and led the Illini with 16 points in Sunday’s win at Minnesota.
miere League, now 12 points clear of rival Manchester City. Rob-in Van Persie is having a Kevin Durant-like year, scoring at will and in volume. Emotions will be high, storylines a plenty, but the better back four will make it through.
Result: Manchester United 4-3 on aggregate
Valencia versus Paris Saint-Germain (Mestalla)
Qatar is the petit country host-ing the 2022 World Cup. Qatar is also the petit country that the investment group which owns Paris Saint-Germain hails from. These Qatari folk are not shy in the slightest to pull out their check-book. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Lucas Mora were signings that combined for more than $120 million for the French side that will have its logo next to the defi-nition of “superteam” in the latest dictionary. But its biggest signing this season was one that didn’t cost a dime, when 37-year-old David Beckham arrived on a free trans-fer from the Los Angeles Galaxy. Now, for someone who is at the end of his career, it’s not like he’d enter the club on a speedboat in a tuxedo like he did in the London 2012 opening ceremony. But Paris certainly still welcomed him like that. Old or not, Beckham is still a soccer icon. He’ll put fans in the seats and will make PSG into quite the contender in the final stretch of Ligue 1 and Champions League.
Result: PSG 3-1 on aggregate
Celtic versus Juventus (Celtic Park)
Celtic is the feel-good story of the entire tournament, your George Mason. I can’t call the team a Butler because we’ve yet to see consistency from it. Or a Scottish Brad Stevens. The Celtic green may be out in full force in Glasgow, but this isn’t the luck of the Irish. And St. Patrick’s Day is still more than a month away. Juventus, like its play in Serie A, has taken care of its business in the group stage. Cool as you like, with quality in all 11 positions. Hard-nosed, Italian defense. “Hanno intenzione di imparare oggi.” Italian for “They gonna learn today.”
Result: Juventus 5-1 on aggregate
Shaktar Donetsk versus Borussia Dortmund (Donbass Arena)
These are the two pleasant sur-prises of the tournament. Crazy to think that Dortmund was picked to finish behind Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Group of Death. The German side won the group. Jokes on you, Mancini. Not only did Dortmund win the group, the team dominated it. So much to the point where it is one of the favorites, despite being left in the dust by Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
Shaktar stole what was expect-ed to be Chelsea’s reservation in the round of 16. The Ukranian side, led by a Brazilian attack of Willian and Luiz Adriano, knocked out the defending European cham-pions from the group stage, a first in Champions League history. It was lucky not to lose any of its valuable players during the trans-fer window, but it will be a daunt-ing task when it takes on the most consistent side in the tournament so far.
Result: Borussia Dortmund 4-2 on aggregate

idolized the perpetrators of this utterly inhumane violence.
Young Serbs took to the streets of Belgrade, Serbia, in protest when Ratko Mladic, a former Serbian general, was finally arrested. These national-ists were irate that the archi-tect of the Srebrenica massa-cre — an event that left over 8,000 dead at a former U.N. outpost — would be put on trial at the International Criminal Court for the Former Yugosla-via for his war crimes, which included genocide and wanton destruction.
Radovan Karadzic, former president of Republika Srpska, was so idolized that his name was chanted during Serbian soc-cer games as a sign of solidarity. Karadzic, known in the West as the “Butcher of Bosnia,” is still at The Hague on trial for orches-
trating genocide against Bos-niaks and Bosnian Croats.
Similar events occurred fol-lowing the indictment of for-mer Serbian President Slobo-dan Milosevic — the only head of state to ever be indicted at the International Criminal Court — but I think you get the idea.
Let’s put this into perspec-tive. Could you imagine Univer-sity students chanting the name of any American politician at Assembly Hall as a proverbial middle finger to whomever that politician opposes?
I want to be absolutely clear: I am not equating American poli-ticians to the murderous thugs that ran the YNA (Yugoslav National Army) and its infamous scorpion paramilitaries during the ’90s. I am simply saying that as Americans, we are fortunate to have the luxury to focus on the game, not politics.
That is what Niksic is saying and wishes for as well, and his words were nearly as refreshing
as the many brisk dips I took into the pure blue Mediterranean Sea when I studied abroad last year.
While I lived in picturesque Aix-en-Provence in southern France, I decided to spend part of time away from the per-fect Provencal lifestyle to visit Belgrade. I originally wanted to head to Sarajevo, but oddly timed flights and a concerned mother kept me in the slightly more-developed Belgrade.
With my usual travel compan-ions elsewhere in Italy, I boarded the cramped Alitalia flight to Belgrade alone. While visiting the city that the United States — technically NATO — had bombed only 11 years earlier, I saw many things that surprised me and some that didn’t.
During my second day in the country, I decided to visit the House of Flowers, the gravesite where legendary and respected dictator Joseph Broz Tito is bur-ied. The site is a shrine to the man who crushed the very thing
that tore the region apart after his death: nationalism.
I saw the ancient Kalemeg-dan fortress, which is where the iconic picture of the bombed Usce tower was taken dur-ing the 78-day NATO bombing campaign.
But it wasn’t until my final day in Serbia that I saw some-thing that would bring a smile to Niksic’s face. As I was walk-ing down Belgrade’s most famous commercial street, Knez Mihailova, at around 10 p.m., I heard a raucous crowd at a near-by bar. I decided to head down the dimly lit alley to see what the locals were so worked up about.
Not being a soccer fan, I had no idea that Manchester Unit-ed was playing, nor did I care. But for some reason a pub full of drunken Serbian men were glued to the bar’s single televi-sion screen to watch a team from England.
I ordered the house beer, and after some interesting experi-
ences with Serbian cuisine, I knew my chances of making it back to my hostel without some involuntary bodily functions occurring were slim.
I sat at a table near some locals, and as the game went on, the entire crowd would erupt whenever No. 15 would touch the ball. I asked the English-speaking bartender what the big deal was, and he told me that No. 15, Nemanja Vidic, is from Serbia, and he is a sporting hero throughout the country.
Even though it was an elec-tion year in Serbia, there was seemingly no talk of politics while the game was on. No, I cannot speak Serbian, but I could definitely tell that then men gathered around the televi-sion weren’t preoccupied with thoughts of their former gener-als, or even the current nation-alists running for office.
These men were doing what we Americans do: drink too much beer and yell at the tele-
vision when our team is doing poorly. Hopefully, for Niksic’s sake, that night at the Belgrade bar was a sign of progress.
While I would rather have Americans look up to people like Richard Holbrooke, the man who negotiated Balkan peace via the Dayton Peace Accords, I realized that ador-ing athletes isn’t so bad.
So next time I see an over-ly enthusiastic city enshrine their linebacker on the side of a building, I may instinctively grimace at the spectacle, but I will definitely think back to Niksic’s comments. Sure, sports are trivial and their players are merely pawns in that triv-ial game, but we are fortunate enough to live in a culture that is conducive to idolizing ath-letes instead of evil.

dream come true on Corbin’s first day at Booker T. Washing-ton Elementary school.
“I could have, the last five years, laid in bed and cried every day, but I would have missed out on five years.”
In the last five years, Smith has written two books, spoken at national conventions and trav-eled. She regularly updates her story at livinglegendary.org.
Sunday was Smith’s second time speaking to the Illinois women’s basketball team. She is
the sister of the team’s chaplain.She spoke to the team four
years ago, when Illinois’ cur-rent seniors were freshmen.
Smith has been attending Illi-nois women’s basketball games since she was in sixth grade and was a pen pal of a former Illini throughout middle school.
At the team’s pre-game break-fast, she shared her message:
“When I left my job, I decid-ed to focus on living, instead of dying, because technically I should have been dead, but I decided whatever life I have left, I will focus it on living.
“I came up with a theme called ‘living legendary.’ I talk-
ed to the team about no matter what challenge you’re going through, whether it be aca-demics, personal relationships or health issues, everyone has a challenge, but it’s how you respond to that challenge that defines you as a person.”
Illinois’ players took Smith’s message into the game with them.
“She talked about how she quit her dream job just to go live and cherish every moment,” senior Karisma Penn said. “It’s kinda like cherishing every pos-session in the game.”
Players across the nation wore pink jerseys, shoes and
headbands this past week in honor of the Play 4Kay game, which honored former North Carolina State head coach Kay Yow, who died of Stage IV breast cancer.
“We take this seriously,” junior Amber Moore said. “Being able to play in pink and represent everybody who’s fighting it or has beat it is very important.”
Smith was honored at center court during halftime, along with other cancer survivors, patients and caretakers. Coun-try singer Kristy Osmunson sang her song “Fight Like a Girl.”
Smith appreciated one spe-cific line: “When the doctor said ‘the cancer spread.’”
“That was such a powerful message because so often we hear of breast cancer, we hear people go through this icky part of their life with surgery and chemo and then they’re better and life goes on and back to nor-mal or the new normal,” Smith said. “But the song gives a very powerful voice to those of us living with stage IV cancer and trying to live with it as a chron-ic illness rather than a termi-nal illness. It helps make people aware that it doesn’t always go away and get better and your
life goes back to normal.”The Play 4Kay game brought
in the women’s basketball team’s second-largest crowd of the sea-son with 2,703 in attendance, the majority of whom donned pink in support of the cause. Cancer survivors and patients received free admission.
“I think the Play 4Kay game is really important because it brings out people and makes them aware of breast cancer,” Smith said. “But it also moves beyond that and looks at what are we doing about this.”
