Former secretary of labor
addresses economic issues

JK8==NI@K<I
Elaine Chao, former secretary of
labor for the George W. Bush admin-
istration, spoke at the Illini Union
to a group of approximately 50 stu-
dents Monday night.
At the lecture, held by the Illini
Union Board, Chao addressed the
current economic climate in the
context of her life story as the fi rst
female Asian Pacific American cabi-
net member.
Before the event, Chichun Fang,
graduate student, said he anticipat-
ed hearing Chao’s remarks.

As K-12 school budgets are
being cut statewide, the Cham-
paign Unit 4 Board of Educa-
tion fi nalized over $2 million
in budget cuts for fi scal year
2010-2011 in March.
“Anytime we cut person-
nel, it’s dramatic,” said school
board President Dave Tomlin-
son. “It’s harder on the per-
sonnel themselves because
losing your job through no
fault of your own is difficult
no matter what.”
He said three directors
were cut, as well as a special
education administrator and

the point of view of a former sec-
retary of labor with very different
policies from the current secretary
(Hilda Solis),” he said.
“The current administration is
more pro-labor within the academ-
ic arena.”
Chao addressed the problem of
high job turnover in the American
workforce.
“America is a diverse country
with 150 million workers,” she said.
“The average worker, age 40, has
held 10 jobs... Before the recession,
the average 27-year-old had held 14
jobs already.”
She discussed some of the rea-
four teachers.
“Every person or service
on that list has value to the
district,” said Beth Shepperd ,
assistant superintendent for
human resources. “The area
that is hit hardest is going to
be administration because
that is where the majority of
the cuts came.”
Tomlinson added that every
time cuts are made this time
of year, the RIF, or Reduction
in Force, notices are traumat-
ic. An RIF notifies a teacher
their employment is ending,
although many are hired back
the following year when state
funding is fi nalized. Tomlin-

sons employers have been hesitant
to resume hiring.
“Employers are concerned about
uncertainties; uncertainties sur-
rounding health care, government
regulations and the possibility of
higher taxes,” Chao said.
She also talked about China’s per-
ceived economic advantages.
“China’s competitiveness is not
because of the low cost of labor, it
is because of low taxes,” Chao said.
“(In China) the cost of capital is
attractive to job creation.”
America also lacks skilled work-
ers in important fields, Chao said.
“There are not enough plumb-
ers, carpenters or electricians in
the United States,” she said. “We
are going to need 3.4 million health
care workers.”
Yun Jin, freshman in business,
introduced Chao at the event.
“Chao has received numerous

“One of the direc-

tion that we eliminated

enough that the per-

awards for her service and was
named among America’s newest
generation of leaders by Newsweek
magazine,” Jin said. “She was the
longest serving secretary of labor
since World War II and is a truly
great role model.”
However, not everyone was so
sure of Chao’s record. Mike Snid-
er, research field specialist for the
Illinois State Water Survey at the
University, said he was skeptical
of Chao.
“I am curious about the way the
event was advertised,” Snider said.
“She’s being held as a role model
when in the case of the West Vir-
ginia mining incident (in 2006), she
fi red the investigators whose job it
was to make sure safe business was
being done.”

48-hour time limit

film-making skills

The Illini Union Board spon-
sored its fi rst annual 48-Hour
Film Contest on Friday, April 9.
Students on campus were encour-
aged to participate in developing
a five-minute fi lm within a 48-
hour timeframe.
Distinctive challenges were
given to the teams on Friday eve-
ning and their works were turned
in at the Illini Union Sunday. The
winning films in order from first
to third were; “Just for Now,”
“Twilight Zone,” and “Eloise.”
The Illini Union has hosted
other artistically driven projects
in the past, such as dancing and
singing contests, but they wanted
this year’s project to be different,
said Grace Sears, the Illini Union
Board Director of the Arts and
sophomore in Business.
“This year, we decided to show-
case other forms of student art
that are not as frequently exhib-
ited on campus,” Sears said.

He said the magnitude of the
cuts are due to the lack of action
in Springfield, and they need to
get their budget house in order.
Gayle Jeffries, assistant super-
intendent of human resources
for the district, said 17 teachers
were cut from next year’s bud-
get: six from elementary schools,
six from middle schools and five
from high schools.
Each team was assigned a dif-
ferent challenge, such as incor-
porating certain lines.
“When I saw the sign for the
contest, I knew that this would be
another chance for me to try my
skills at fi lmmaking,” said John
Marsaglia, freshman in Media
who participated in the event.
“To be honest, I’m surprised it’s
taken so long for the University
to come up with a contest like
this.”
Because of the time limit, it
was difficult to meet their ide-
als for the fi lm, said Marsaglia,
who participated on a team with
three others.
“I wasn’t sure if I would be able
to produce a quality fi lm under
such time constraints, but if
you’re doing something you love,
you’ll find a way to make it work,”
Marsaglia said.
After deciding the story line,
Marsaglia began casting avail-
able actors, wrote the script and
planned the filming schedule and
locations.
“Living in a dorm, I didn’t have
the luxury of using a home, kitch-
en or furniture, so I decided on an
idea that would utilize our cam-
pus” he said.
Finally, Marsaglia said he sat
Jeffries said current class siz-
es are around 20, but with the
cuts they may increase to 23.
“Classes will be a little larger;
however, they will still be within
the limits of the contract,” she
said.
Schultz said the 139 faculty
under the RIFs will be laid off
June 30, but the district should
know by July 1 if grant mon-
ey that could potentially help
keep these positions will come
through. However, Schultz said
grant money has not always
in front of his computer for hours
to complete editing the fi lm.
Elyne Tran, freshman in ACES,
said she stopped to see Marsa-
glia’s team during its fi lming.
“It’s an interesting concept. It
provides an alternative way of
expression for students,” Tran
said.
Monday evening, there was a
public screening of each film, and
judges gave each work scores
“based on story, clarity of nar-
rative, dialogue and cinematog-
raphy,” according to the board’s
Web site. The top three teams
were given fi nancial rewards for
their work.
Sears said the program was a
success, as they received 15 reg-
istration forms and 10 complet-
ed fi lms.
“Events like this and other
student performing arts pro-
grams on campus allow students
to express their creativity and
become more cultured,” Sears
said.
Marsaglia said he agreed that
the competition benefited the
community on campus.
“Creative differences are not
only beneficial to filmmakers, but
to the entire community as well,”
he said.
been determined by July 1 like
it is supposed to. Sometimes, he
said, the verdict on the grant
money is delayed until August
or September.
“There’s not a state budget that
tells us how much money we’re
going to be allocated next year,”
Jeffries said. “So naturally the
school districts have to operate
on the reserves until they fi nd
out what’s going to be available
for them.”
nois is a review program that
will look at how the academic
enterprise is structured into the
work of colleges and schools.
According to a press release,
a small group of people exter-
nal to the campus were asked to
visit the campus for discussions
about this review.
The group plans to meet with
the deans of the four college/
school units under review, the
chair of the project’s team Tom
Ulen , the Steering Committee
and Chancellor Easter.
If time permits, the group
will also meet with the Council
of Deans and the Senate Lead-
ership team.
The press release said the vis-
it is meant to be consultative.
The group will not be asked
for formal recommendations
and will not be expected to pro-
duce a report.
People who agreed to attend
the review on May 3 include
Larry Faulkner, president of the
Houston Endowment, Edie Gold-
enberg, professor at the Univer-
sity of Michigan and Jane Don-
aldson , founding partner of the
Phillips Oppenheim Group.

WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama optimistically
opened a 47-nation nuclear sum-
mit Monday, boosted by Ukraine’s
announcement that it will give
up its weapons-grade uranium.
More sobering: The White House
counterterror chief warned that
al-Qaida is vigorously pursuing
ingredients and expertise for a
bomb.
At the same time, Obama and
Chinese President Hu Jintao
sought agreement on potential
sanctions to discourage Iran’s
efforts to come up with its own
nuclear weapon.
Ukraine’s decision dovetailed
with Obama’s goal of securing
all vulnerable nuclear materi-
als worldwide within four years
— an objective that the White
House hopes will be endorsed
by all summit countries at a
closing session Tuesday, even if
the means to accomplish it are
unclear. The fear is that ter-
rorists or a nation other than
the major nuclear powers could
obtain crucial ingredients and
inflict horrendous damage.
Before formally opening the
summit, Obama held a series of
one-on-one meetings with lead-
ers from China, Jordan, Ukraine,
Armenia and Malaysia. Presiden-
tial aides billed the summit as the
largest gathering of world lead-
ers hosted by an American presi-
dent since the 1945 conference in
San Francisco that founded the
United Nations.
In a brief exchange with report-
ers at the White House, Obama
said of the summit: “It’s impres-
sive. I think it’s an indication of
how deeply concerned everybody
should be with the possibilities
of nuclear traffic, and I think
at the end of this we’re going to
see some very specific, concrete
actions that each nation is taking
that will make the world a little
bit safer.”

The talks are a centerpiece of
Obama’s broader agenda for rid-
ding the world of nuclear weap-
ons, a long-term process that he
says should include gradual dis-
armament by the nuclear pow-
ers, stronger steps to head off
a nuclear arms race and more
urgent action to lock down tons
of plutonium and highly enriched
uranium that are the key building
blocks of atomic weapons.
According to Harvard’s Belfer
Center, there are about 3.5 mil-
lion pounds of highly enriched
uranium and half a million
pounds of bomb-grade plutoni-
um in the world. Combined, they
could be used to build as many
as 200,0000 nuclear weapons, or
about 8½ times the world’s cur-
rent total of 23,360 warheads.
Not all countries share
Obama’s view that the nuclear-
materials problem is a priority.
Some think the bigger empha-
sis should be on disarmament,
particularly by the United States
and Russia, which despite recent
reductions still possess 90 per-
cent of the world’s nuclear arms.

ree and open communication
is the cornerstone of a strong
democracy. However, this
freedom to exchange thoughts,
art and knowledge suffered a ma-
jor setback last week.
In a federal appeals court rul-
ing April 6, Comcast and other in-
ternet service providers won the
ability to “block or slow specific
sites” and charge sites to deliver
their content faster.
We are appalled at this short
term victory for Internet service
providers. In an effort to increase
profits, Comcast now has the po-
tential to destroy the closest thing
to a free, open and robust ground
for exchanging ideas – the Inter-
net.
This new ability may not seem
to be such a serious change. Com-
cast is an independent company
that has the right to provide what
services it will to its custom-
ers. However, Comcast now has
the power to slow, chill and even
completely silence speech from
anywhere in the world.
Now, Comcast can legally
charge certain sites to be seen
by its customers. For instance,
if there is a blog you enjoy about
arts and culture in New York, and
Comcast happens to not like that
particular blog, it can charge the
owner of the blog thousands of
dollars to be accessed on its net-
work. If the owner does not have
thousands of dollars to spend, the
blog could cease to be seen on a
computer connected to “Comcast
Internet.”
The problem gets infinitely
worse if Comcast has an open po-
litical agenda. Silencing politi-
cal speech from any party or only
favoring one type of political
speech is a censorship problem
that must be taken into account
when assessing Comcast’s inten-
tions with its services.
The Internet is the closest thing
to a true marketplace of ideas
that we have today. The barriers
to entry – the difficulties to get-
ting your thoughts and ideas out
and seen by the whole world – are
very minimal.
Access to the Internet should
continue to be like access to wa-
ter. There’s no premium city wa-
ter. It’s simply on tap every-
where.

I’m curious as to the sorts of
fact-checking that were used
when writing your column
about the recent arms treaty.
As I don’t have the space to
respond to your overall rea-
soning, I’ll instead look at two
patently incorrect statements
you made within your article.
The first deals with Russia
and the US reducing their weap-
ons by 30 percent, and “since
Russia is sufficiently behind
the US as far as weapons go,
of course they are the most
thrilled about this new treaty.”
It confuses me how you came
to this conclusion, as a sim-
ple internet search for “nucle-
ar weapons states” shows the
exact opposite. According to the
Federation of American Scien-
tists, as of April 6th, the US has
9,400 total warheads stockpiled,
with 2,626 operational. Russia,
on the other hand, has approxi-
mately 12,000 stockpiled, and
4,650 operational. To claim that
Russia is “sufficiently behind
the US” goes well beyond any
stretch of the imagination.
The second is that, according
to the treaty, “even if a coun-
try attacks using biological,
chemical, or any other weapon
or attack mechanisms, the US
will be unable to use a nucle-
ar weapon against it.” In fact
the treaty instead states that, in
the event of biological weapons
threats, the US “reserves the
right to make any adjustment
to this policy.” Again, we find a
statement shown as fact, when
the reality is instead completely
the opposite.
For statements such as these
to be presented in your article
indicates one of two things: 1.)
You have willingly misunder-
stood the new policy for the ben-
efit of presenting your opinion,
or 2.) You simply didn’t bother
to fully check and read up on
what you were writing about.
My guess would be the latter,
but neither of these possibilities
should really be acceptable in
any level of journalism...

s it really nerdy to say that

Court Justice? It’s proba-
bly not quite as nerdy as say-
ing that I can name all the
members of the Jedi Coun-
cil or every National League
strikeout leader since 1968,
but almost. Nerdy or not, for
as long as I can remember,
my favorite Supreme Court
Justice has been John Paul
Stevens.
If they made Supreme Court
action figures, I’d buy Ste-
vens’. If legal celebrities were
like musicians, I’d have his
poster up on my wall. If John
Paul Stevens was a pro ath-
lete, I’d wear his jersey and
buy his trading card. You
get the picture. So you will
understand my disappoint-
ment when I recently learned
that John Paul Stevens will
be retiring at the end of the
court’s present term. For a
Supreme Court fanboy like
myself, it’s akin to The Bea-
tles breaking up. Truly, it’s
the end of an era.
The reason for my devo-
tion to Justice Stevens is not
because of his political lean-
ings (ostensibly liberal, but
frequently centrist) or the
President who appointed
him (Gerald Ford. Remem-
ber him?). I’m a Stevens-ite
because of what he represents
on a court that has, during his
nearly 35-year long tenure,
changed markedly.

my time holding on for dear life,
and I wanted this one to feel
more focused. I love nothing
more than self-evaluation. Thus,
“The Goal Poster” was born.
It’s an awkwardly large collage
of the ten things I wanted to do
this semester, like keeping my
room cleaner (I’m organization-
ally deficient), being better at
returning phone calls (because
I hate talking on the phone) and
getting into a sum-
mer journalism pro-
gram at Georgetown
(which my friends
are probably going
to duct-tape my mouth
closed if I don’t shut
up about). As the
semester is
drawing to
a close, I’ve
been think-
ing about
how far
I’ve come
on some of
these goals,
and how far
I have to go
with others.
Oddly
enough, the
hardest goal on
there has been
one of “Trashing
Trash Talk” (adorably placed
upon the magazine cutout of
a dumpster). Now, I’ve never
been an intentionally malicious
or gossipy person. But being
almost halfway done with col-
lege, I’m starting to realize how
completely unattractive gossip
is to me. At this point, people
our age have pretty much decid-
ed to a) grow up and behave like
adults, or b) act like they belong
on As the World Turns. Sadly, I
feel like most belong in the lat-
ter category.
To be fair, we’re living in a
place and time that seems to
thrive on this kind of behavior. I
don’t know if people in our gen-
eration are just genuinely more
interested in other people, or
ty impressive things.
I know it’s human nature to
be curious about the people
around us. But attacking non-
present people verbally isn’t
just a waste of time; it’s a scar
on your own reputation. I was
gung ho to vote for gubernato-
rial candidate Dan Hynes in
the Democratic primaries ear-
lier this year... that is, until the
shameless insult-hurling began
between him and opponent Pat
Quinn.
Bashing
each other
was perhaps
supposed to win
the voting hearts
of Illinoisans, but
I think it’s safe
to say most of us
thought it was just
embarrassing.
Trash talk, from
where I stand now,
isn’t much more than
a reflection of some-
one’s own feelings of
inadequacy. Let’s face
it—Hynes including a
clip of a former Chicago
mayor calling Quinn a “totally
and completely undisciplined
individual” in an ad didn’t make
his own worth any greater.
Me talking about how terri-
ble someone’s outfit is doesn’t
change the fact that I wore a
Pink Power Ranger outfit for 3
weeks straight the summer of
1995. So shouldn’t we find some-
thing better to do with our time?
There’s a quote from an
unknown author that goes,
“Great people talk about ideas.
Average people talk about
things. Small people talk about
other people.” I don’t think I
could put it a better way than
that.

“We’ve found out over the
years that we can use vegetable
oil lubricants (in certain vehicles)
instead of traditional hydraulic
fluids to reduce damage if there’s
a spill,” Lindsey said.
Fossil fuels take a long time to
degrade, while vegetable oil is
biodegradable, Lindsey said. In
the case of vegetable oil, when it
spills, it will be eaten by micro-
organisms, as opposed to staying
around for awhile and harming
the environment.
A few companies are inter-
ested in using bio-lubricants,
while some already do, Lindsey
said. Caterpillar, a company that
builds tractors, bulldozers and
other industry motor-vehicles,
is interested in using a bio-lubri-
cant instead of oil. The company
that built the elevators for the

Contrary to the popular reac-
tion we all take part in when
laughing at what a “joke of a
class” these technologically
inclined classes may seem, in
reality it shouldn’t be that fun-
ny. Because guess what? We’re
all paying for that “joke of a
class.” Whether it is you per-
sonally or your parents, sooner
or later, we’re going to real-
ize the joke’s on us. For even
though I love to joke around
about how easy some of my
classes have been, the fact of
the matter is the only thing it
is helping is my GPA.
For instance, I have come to
the realization that I am not
learning anything from tak-
ing Spanish 200. I memorize
the vocabulary and skim the
stories, but the fact that I nev-
er have to speak the language
while taking this online class
is starting to strike me as a
bit problematic. Because God
knows, when the time comes
to use the language to inter-
act with another actual person
(and not a “submit” button) I’ll

“Big places that use it are in
sensitive areas, like a water-

sey said.
Another important sector of
the ISTC is led by Dr. Kishore
Rajagopalan, Associate Direc-
tor for Applied Research of the
center. His group focuses on the
relationship between water and
energy.
“To produce electricity (ener-
gy), you need a lot of water,”
Kishore said.
Because of this, a lot of his
research involves finding ways
to use salt water instead of fresh
water to produce energy. At the
ISTC, Kishore is developing a
desalination process that uses a
method called forward osmosis to
remove salt from salt water.
“Forward osmosis is advanta-
geous for three main reasons: it
is a low pressure process, it uses

probably end up saying how
“embarazada” I feel for my
lack of skill. Then, the person
I’m talking to will presume
to stare at what he believes
to be my pregnant stomach.
And that is just a whole mess
of confusion for everyone
involved.
So where does convenience
interfere with actual learning?
Here, right here. By forfeiting
their right to teach students
face-to-face, professors who
rely heavily on online-based
coursework are giving us an
easy out for our education. And
even though we may not need
to know half of the stuff we
are being taught in our general
education requirements, when
we leave this place behind, it
is not about that. It is about
principality over probabili-
ty; retaining something rath-
er than memorizing it. It’s a
double-edged argument, and I
am taking a side — Professor
Liebersohn’s in fact. My His-
tory 142 professor is often dis-
mayed and slightly saddened
by the lack of attendance at his
lectures because he has some-
thing worth saying, and many
students skip out before even

in order to keep the class-

dents must strike some kind of
compromise.

from the rest of campus, the Illinois Sustain-

with activity for such a quiet location.
The ISTC is one of five survey groups that
form the Institute of Natural Resource Sus-

in Illinois for over a century and the ISTC
is one of its newest survey groups.
“The agency was founded to help indus-

ports define our lives
beyond our teams’ win-
ning and losing. We all have
heroes; a special athlete that
we admire. We don’t always
realize how important these
heroes are, but the impact
they can have on our lives is
extraordinary.
Along with being a sports
fanatic, I’m also a huge film
buff. This weekend I decided
to combine the two and watch
the movie “Looking for Eric,”
in which an English soccer fan
experiencing a midlife crisis
and dealing with thoughts of
suicide seeks help from his
hero, Manchester United leg-
end Eric Cantona (or rather, a
hallucination of him). It really
struck me what a profound
impact our sporting heroes
can have on our lives.
Cantona happens to be one
of my heroes; that’s the rea-
son I had chosen to watch that
movie. Sadly, his career was
coming to an end early in my
days as a fan, but I remem-
ber his swagger on the field.
He seemed so nonchalant, but
when the ball came to his feet
he could produce magic. I still
love watching his highlights on
YouTube.
He’s just one of many ath-
letes I hold as heroes. I looked
up to Michael Jordan as a kid.
Certain Manchester Unit-
ed players have become my
heroes. Ryan Giggs for his
commitment, having played
all 19 years of his professional
career at the club — a rare feat
in any sport.
I’m sure all of you have
heroes. Since this is Illinois,
I’m sure a lot of you saw Jor-
dan as a hero, too. It might be
Wayne Gretzky for you hock-
ey fans. If you love extreme

K?<8JJF:@8K<;GI<JJ
To borrow an NHL slogan
from seasons past, the big-
gest question heading into this
year’s postseason can be sim-
ply summed up as: Is this the
year?
Is this the year the Detroit
Red Wings and the defending
champion Pittsburgh Penguins
give other teams a chance to play
for the Stanley Cup?
If so, will the San Jose Sharks
fi nally step up in the Western
Conference and live up to their
lofty regular-season marks and
shake their underachieving rep-
utation? If not, will the upstart
Chicago Blackhawks or surpris-
ing Phoenix Coyotes unseat the
Red Wings, who won the Cup in
2008 against the Penguins and
then fell in seven games a year
ago in the rematch?
The answers will begin to
unfold Wednesday night when
the 16-team Stanley Cup tourna-
ment gets under way with four
games. Three other series will
start Thursday, and the Central
Division-champion Blackhawks
will host the Nashville Preda-
tors on Friday in Game 1 of that
Western matchup.
San Jose finished first in
the West last year and was
knocked out in the fi rst round
by No. 8 Anaheim. The Sharks
(51-20-11) fi nished on top again

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. —
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger will not face
charges after a college student
accused him of sexually assault-
ing her at a nightclub last month,
authorities said Monday.
Ocmulgee Circuit District
Attorney Fred Bright said the
20-year-old student’s accusations
could not be proven beyond a rea-
sonable doubt, and her lawyer said
in a letter that she did not want to
press charges.
“Therefore there will be no
arrests made nor criminal pros-
ecution against Mr. Roethlisberg-
er,” Bright said.

advance against Colorado, back
in the playoffs after a one-year
absence.
“I don’t think we can look at
any numbers because for the
past so many years we suppos-
edly have been better than any-
body in the league and we came
short,” goalie Evgeni Nabokov
said. “All the numbers, all the
talk does not really matter. We
have to come out and win the
hockey games. That’s the only
way we can get away from all
those talks.”
If the Sharks do get past the
Avalanche, they could face
Detroit in the second round.
“You’ve got to catch fi re,” Red
Wings coach Mike Babcock said.
“Sometimes you’re not great in
the early rounds, but you’ve got
to catch fi re. There’s got to be a
belief system, and you need role
players to step up and your best
players to be good.
“It’s a great, great trophy.
It’s a prize worth chasing. It’s
hard to win, which makes it so
special.”
The Red Wings will face the
Coyotes in the fi rst round. Phoe-
nix hasn’t been in the playoffs
since 2002, joining the Los
Angeles Kings for the longest
gap between appearances for
this year’s qualifiers. The No. 6
Kings will meet the No. 3 Van-
couver Canucks, who won the
Northwest Division.
The Penguins should face seri-
ous challenges out East as they
begin their quest for a third
straight trip to the fi nals. Pitts-
burgh entered the fi nal week-
end of the regular season with a
chance to win the Atlantic Divi-
sion and the No. 2 seed, but a loss
to Atlanta on Saturday ruined
those hopes. Now the Penguins
are assured of home-ice advan-
tage in only the fi rst round
board just behind manager Tony
La Russa and third base coach
Jose Oquendo.
Cheers for McGwire dwarfed
the response both La Russa and
Oquendo received. After bound-
ing out of the truck, he shook
hands with Cardinals Hall of
Fame Stan Musial.
Lee Carroll of Chesterfield,
clad in a red Cardinals T-shirt in
the upper deck of Busch Stadi-
um, said McGwire has endured
enough scrutiny since admit-
ting in January to using perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs during
his career.
“You guys leave him alone,”
Carroll said. “It’s over. He’s
apologized, now move on. Forget
about it, he knows hitting and
he’s going to do a good job.”
McGwire suited up in his old
No. 25 at home for the fi rst time
since retiring after the 2001
The woman told an officer
Roethlisberger sexually assault-
ed her early March 5 at the Capi-
tal City night club, where he was
drinking with friends.
Bright said the investigation
showed the woman was heavily
intoxicated that night. She and her
sorority sisters had met Roethlis-
berger at a different bar earlier in
the night, and he invited them into
and ordered them shots. When the
woman walked down a hallway to
¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾
a VIP area at the Capital City club
a small bathroom, Roethlisberger
followed her.
What happened in that bath-
room is unclear, Bright said. A
doctor who examined the wom-
against the Ottawa Senators.
“We just know what is expect-
ed of each other,” said Penguins
captain Sidney Crosby, who
scored a career-high 51 goals
this season. “Everyone gets a
pretty good idea when you go
through that many games and
adversity and all those things
together. The expectations are
high within this room, and hav-
ing that familiarity with what we
need to do is important.”
Don’t write off the Penguins
just yet. Pittsburgh was the
No. 4 seed in 2009 and took out
No. 2 Washington in the second
round.
“I’m certainly not looking for-
ward to playing them,” Capitals
coach Bruce Boudreau said. “ If
we have to play them, we have
to play them. They’re the cham-
pions. No reason to think they
can’t do it again. They got the
same cast of characters.”
Capitals captain Alex Ovech-
kin ceded his hold on the Maurice
Richard Trophy, given each sea-
son to the NHL’s top goal scorer,
after a two-year reign. Ovech-
kin, the league MVP the past two
seasons, fi nished one goal behind
Crosby and Tampa Bay young-
ster Steven Stamkos.
Ovechkin trails Crosby in sev-
eral areas, most importantly in
the championship department.
In the past 12 months, Crosby
has captured the Stanley Cup
and an Olympic gold medal —
two things that have eluded the
Russian star.
“I think he’s like any other
player, he gets excited for the
playoffs and will ramp it up a
little bit,” Boudreau said of
Ovechkin.

includes forwards Nicklas Back-

“It’s one of those things where
an could not say if she was raped,
and while some DNA was found,
there was not enough to determine
whom it belonged to.
“We are not condoning Mr.
Roethlisberger’s actions that
night,” Bright said. “But we do
not prosecute morals. We prose-
cute crimes.”
He said local and state inves-
tigators spent weeks question-
ing witnesses even though the
woman sent a letter urging pros-
ecutors not to move forward with
charges.

for the 13th straight season, the
second-longest current streak in
the league to Detroit’s 19 con-
secutive appearances.
Philadelphia played poor-
ly down the stretch and nearly
missed the playoffs after being
considered an early Stanley Cup
contender. The Flyers should
carry confidence and momen-
tum into the series with the Dev-
ils, a team they beat in five of six
meetings this season.
The right-hander, who signed
a $15 million, two-year contract
with Washington as a free agent,
was an All-Star with Colorado
last season.
The Phillies came back from
a 4-0 margin by scoring twice in
the fourth and chased Marquis
with five in the fi fth.

DETROIT — Jose Guillen hit
a two-run homer after his two-
out foul popup was dropped by
Detroit fi rst baseman Miguel
Cabrera , sending the Kansas
City Royals to a 10-5 win Mon-
day and ending the Tigers’ four-
game winning streak.
Guillen took advantage of
Cabrera’s error for a go-ahead
homer in the fourth inning.
Scott Podsednik had four hits,
including a two-run single in
the sixth that helped the Roy-
als pull away.
Luke Hochevar (1-0) won
despite allowing five runs in
five-plus innings.
Max Scherzer (0-1) gave up
five runs — just two earned —
in five innings.

M I N N E A P OL IS — The
Minnesota Twins are off to a
sunny start at Target Field.
After nearly three decades
inside the Metrodome, the
Twins moved outdoors and beat
the Boston Red Sox 5-2 Mon-
day behind hometown star Joe
Mauer in the fi rst regular-sea-
son game at their new ballpark.
Jason Kubel hit the fi rst home
run and Carl Pavano earned the
fi rst victory.
Red-white-and-blue bunting
hung from the ledges and com-
missioner Bud Selig was in
attendance for the celebration,
as the crowd of 39,715 snapped
cell-phone pictures of the fi rst
pitch by Pavano.
The unpredictable spring
weather played right along, too,
with a blue, breezy 65-degree
afternoon.

preached the importance of stay-
ing present and forgetting about
the past — both the wins and
losses — and this situation is no
different.
“You’re not going to go very far
in the season if you don’t also deal
with losses,” Sullivan said. “They
have got to just motivate you to
come back with vengeance.”
Zymkowitz is taking her coach’s
advice and focusing on forgetting
her team’s dismal performance
Sunday, while keeping her eye on
what’s in front of her.
“It’s hard, but you just have to
move on,” Zymkowitz said. “In
sports, you’re up and down. You
just have to try and be consistent.
But after a game like (Ohio State
on Sunday), you just have to for-
get about it right away.”
Senior Hope Howell seconded
the notion of having a short mem-
ory when it comes to wins and
losses. She said her team needs to
forget and move on, because there
is a lot riding on this game.
“We don’t have a choice,” How-
ell said. “Our record, our season
and our program depend on it.
We don’t lose two in a row. So,
obviously, we have to play for a
win.”

sports, maybe it’s Tony Hawk. It
doesn’t matter who; I’m sure any
sports fan has some athlete they
see as a hero.
For me, there has always been
one athlete who has been my
biggest hero: David Beckham. I
own eight jerseys with the name
Beckham on the back. I’ve read
his autobiography. He’s the only
player to leave Manchester Unit-
ed that I’ve continued to follow
after his departure.
I can safely say that, while
not as extreme of an example as
in the movie, Beckham has had
some influence on my life. My
first semester at college, I really
struggled to adapt. I never had
to study in high school; I thought
I could do the same at college.
It’s safe to say my first semester
ended horribly. I thought maybe
I wasn’t cut out for college.
Then I remembered my hero

Lefty embraces
wife after victory
K?<8JJF:@8K<;GI<JJ
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Phil Mickel-
son was doing his best not to cry
again as he slipped on another
green jacket and tried to put into
words things that he couldn’t
possibly put into words.
He had already shed a tear
on the 18th green, though he
wasn’t alone. Anyone who knew
the story had to shed a few, too,
as Mickelson latched onto the
tiny blonde woman who had been
through so much and shared an
embrace that neither seemed
willing to end.
He had struggled on the golf
course all year, but that meant
nothing. Nothing compared to
the struggles Amy Mickelson
went through while battling
breast cancer.
There would be plenty of time
later to talk about the shot that
will live in Masters lore, plenty
of time to reflect on what a third
title means to his career.
As the fading sun added some
drama to the victory ceremony
on the practice putting green,
though, Mickelson wanted to
talk about something closer to
his heart — his wife.
“We’ve been through a lot this
year; it means a lot to share some
joy together,” he said. “She’s an

The Illini offense is led by out-
fielders McMurray and Argo.
McMurray, a junior, is batting
a team-high .398 with four home
runs and 28 RBIs, while Argo, a
sophomore, is hitting .389 with
two homers and 18 RBIs.
“We’ve got to concentrate on
these two games,” McMurray
said.
“We’ve got to come out ready
and prepared so we can get
things rolling going into a big
series this weekend (against
Michigan).”
The Illini have also gotten
strong hitting from freshman
third baseman Brandon Hohl.
Hohl has batted .337 with two
homers and 23 RBIs so far this
season.
McMurray added the recent
emergence of Shelton has
further improved the team’s
hitting.
“He’s done great,” McMur-
ray said.
“He’s had a few opportunities
to pinch hit and he’s been hitting
balls really hard. They gave him
an opportunity to DH last Sun-
day (against Iowa) and he took
advantage of it, so hopefully
he’ll continue to do that.”
and the determination he showed
through adversity. Following the
2006 World Cup, England’s coach
told Beckham he was no longer
part of his plans. The then-31-
year-old Beckham was seen as
too old.
Rather than give up, Beck-
ham went back to his club team
motivated. He played some of
the best soccer of his career,
forcing the coach to recall him
to the national team. I was in the
stands as Beckham took the field
against Brazil in London, nine
months after he had been told his
international career was over.
I used that as inspiration and
I turned it around. In fact, last
semester I even made Dean’s
List. I can honestly attribute that
to the inspiration I found from
my hero.
Some athletes change and
define their respective sports.
They do what most cannot, and
in doing so, they become heroes.
For those who think sports are
just a game, I respectfully dis-
incredible wife, an incredible
mother. She’s been an inspira-
tion for me this past year, seeing
what she’s been through.”
It couldn’t have been more
sincere. It could hardly have
been more appropriate.
All week long the talk at the
Masters was of another golfer
and other women. The circus
that surrounded Tiger Woods
blew into town on Monday, and
the tent was still up as the lead-
ers teed off on a Sunday after-
noon brimming with drama.
Mickelson hadn’t been
ignored, but he had certain-
ly been overlooked. He wasn’t
alone, because the drama sur-
rounding the comeback of Woods
overshadowed the entire week at
Augusta National.
Until early Sunday evening,
that is. That’s when the week
that golf feared suddenly
became the week golf fans will
always remember.
It started with a shot a Vegas
high-roller would have never
dreamed of betting on. It end-
ed with a scene so touching
it washed away any lingering
memories of the stain Woods had
put on this Masters.
The man who stands for every-
thing Woods doesn’t stood wear-
ing the green jacket Woods so
desperately coveted. Even bet-
ter, when he looked up on the
18th green, his wife — who had
been bed-ridden most of the
week — and his children were
there to share it all with him.

agree. These heroes can change
lives.
Maybe it’s the athletic ability
that inspires you and makes you
want to be a great athlete. May-
be it’s the characteristics they
show, such as work ethic, com-
mitment or dedication. Beck-
ham’s work ethic and determi-
nation motivated me to turn my
academics around. In “Looking
for Eric,” the main character
was saved from himself by his
hero Eric Cantona.
In the book “The Bro Code,”
Article 41 states that a bro
should never cry. It then lists
three exceptions, one of which is
if a sports legend retires.
Thirteen years after his
retirement, I can still hear the
fans sing Cantona’s name when
I watch Manchester United
games. How many people can
truly make such an impact in
people’s lives?

“I was just really glad she
was there,” Mickelson said. “I
wasn’t sure if she was going to
be there today. I knew she would
be watching. I didn’t know if she
would be behind 18. To walk off
the green and share that with
her is very emotional for us.”
If it was emotional for Mick-
elson, it was also therapeutic to
golf. The throngs who crowd-
ed every hole as the leaders
made their way around Augus-
ta National may not have been
quite sure how much emotion
they were going to invest with
Woods, but with Lefty there was
no doubt.
They cheered him on every
shot, pulled for him at every
turn. And when he hit the shot
on No. 13 no one will ever forget,
they roared with delight.
The swashbuckler danced
with danger and pulled it off.
Mickelson couldn’t help him-
self because, while the risk
was great, the reward was even
greater.
He’s taken that approach his
whole career, and he’s lost some
big tournaments because of it.
Mickelson was red-eyed, seem-
ingly shell-shocked, the goofy
grin that so often adorns his face
gone for the moment.
Amy, though, was all smiles.
“Good to see you guys,” she told
them.
Surely it was. But not nearly
as good as it was for golf to see a
champion and his wife, together
once again.

Atius-Sachem pairs to present fun, energetic skits
9P9<KJP;I8QE<I
JK8==NI@K<I
For most, Moms Weekend is a chance to
visit with a parent and have a nice meal out.
For those involved in the Mom’s Day Sing, it
is an opportunity to get together with friends
while singing and dancing to themes like
High School Musical, The Lion King and The
Hangover.
The Mom’s Day Sing is an event produced
by members of Atius-Sachem, a “leadership
honorary society that recognizes students
who are very involved on campus,” said Tori
Frobish, programs chair for the event.
The performers come from 22 fraternities
and sororities and are paired up to create 11
groups. The groups that perform in the Sing
are primarily Greek because it is easier for
them to already have a group formed, said
Frobish.
Each group picks a mini theme to fit within
the overall theme chosen by Atius-Sachem.
This year, the theme is “Every Little Sing She
Does is Magic.” The groups make costumes,
skits and change the lyrics to popular songs
to be about moms or college life.
“Each team has to say the title somewhere
in their dialogue during the show,” said Sarah
Rybicki, vice president of Atius-Sachem. The
title “Every Little Sing She Does is Magic,”
refers to the moms and is an effort to appre-
ciate all that they do.
The groups begin practicing when they
return from winter break, and continue orga-
nizing all the way through the week before
the event.
“It’s not the biggest time commitment, so
it’s good to be in, but you have to stay on top
of people to make it the best it can be,” said
Mark Baker, vice president of internal opera-
tions for Atius-Sachem.
And although Atius-Sachem does oversee

## 
Kl\j[Xp#8gi`c(*#)'('

AljkdpZlgf]k\X
the event, much of the responsibility lies with
the individual groups.
“It’s usually a combined effort between
the paired up chapters, and they write and
choreograph their skit themselves,” said
Rybicki.
Baker said being involved in the Sing is an
easy way to meet new people while also doing
something for the parents who do so much for
their kids. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said.
The Mom’s Day Sing is an event “moms
want to come back to every year, even if their
kids aren’t in it,” said Frobish.
“I think most moms appreciate the humor
of it all, especially seeing all the fraternity
men getting up on stage and dancing and
singing,” said Rybicki. “And of course it’s all
about the moms, so I’m sure that makes them
pretty happy too.”
“A lot of moms and other Greeks come to
watch it,” said Baker.
The Mom’s Day Sing performances are
Friday at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 7 p.m. in
Foellinger Auditorium. Tickets are $15 at the
door or $10 ahead of time. The money raised
from the performances contributes towards
the next year’s venue rental, programs and
tickets said Frobish.
The show is an event students and parents
alike look forward to all year. Rybicki said
she was involved in the Sing last year and
enjoyed it so much she decided to help orga-
nize it this year.
“It’s a serious thing but at the same time
it’s meant to be fun, it’s meant to be funny,”
Baker said.
Although the show does have a comic angle,
the main point is still geared to honor Uni-
versity mothers. K?<;8@CP@CC@E@=@C<G?FKF

It’s hard to try and quantify why my moth-
er is special to me and why she deserves
recognition.
First, I would say that my mother is an influ-
ential and important person in the lives of
more people than just my siblings and mine.
A respected sister amongst her siblings, she
is the godmother of a handful of my first and
second cousins.
Secondly, my mother has an undying com-
mitment to helping the betterment of others.
I’m certain that my commitment to service
is directly related to her always volunteering
her time to help others.
And lastly, I think my mother should be rec-
ognized as mother of the year because of her
commitment to family and community; she

Being part of the Latino community, fam-
ily is a very central part of our being, cul-
ture and upbringing. And as such, it makes
sense that mothers are the central figures
in our concept of our family. My maternal
grandparents had passed away prior the
birth of my siblings and me, but that nev-
er stopped my mother from stressing the
importance of family.
So when I got older and started asking
questions of our family ancestry, my moth-
er was always willing to teach me who was
who and where we came from. So much so,
that when I was 16 she took me with her to
the hometown of my grandparents in Mexi-
co so that I could get to know her aunts and
uncles and other cousins of mine. Since
then, we’ve actually gone every other year
or so, and actually manage our online fam-
ily tree site together.
She has always supported my inquisitive
nature and always does her best to partici-
pate with me in my educational journey.

t was a cold, wet day in the fall semester
of 1981. It had not been raining, but the
air held the dampness of many fall days.
The phone rang and Dave gave me the bad
news, Bogie had died.
“Do you want to go with me to bury him
on the Quad?” he asked.
“Do you have anything to dig with?” Liv-
ing in the Armory House, with close-knit
relationships with the hall staff, I contacted
the RA who had a key to the kitchen. Find-
ing a large metal spoon, Dave picked me up,
toting Bogie in a brown paper bag. It was a
sad occasion. Bogie had brought us much joy.
While chatting over beers and the tunes of
the ‘80s, Bogie would skitter across the liv-
ing room carpet, reminding us of the real
world out there. The real world had pets, and
babies, and the elderly. But we lived on the
island of the university, where common day
realities weren’t apparent. Dave was a metic-
ulous type, so Bogie’s tank never smelled of
the matted mulch that some rodents create.
Bogie was our friend.

As we parked near the Quad, Dave men-
tioned how appropriate it was to honor
Bogie with this burial location. We hid
under a tree next to a bench and dug a hole.
With a few words about the life of an Illini
guinea pig who lived and died on campus,
we said our final good-byes to Bogie. With
the metal spoon, we scratched a cross on
the back of the concrete bench, which sur-
prisingly would be visible after almost 30
years. Over the years of family visits to
campus, the cross has marked a connection
of my past, to my children’s future.
Fast forward to 2010, and three of my
four daughters are now attending Univer-
sity of Illinois. As their mother, I have a
new opportunity to connect with campus,
and with my children. I didn’t have to look
far for a way to get involved. The Parent’s
Association had a table at Summer Regis-
tration, and my husband and I signed up.
That first fall, we worked the Move-In Day
Picnic, handing out boxed lunches. We
met many other Illini parents and had fun
swapping stories about our children and
our day. I also became a County Represen-

tative for the Moms Association, answering
questions for local parents about campus
and the college transition. In September
2008, when our second daughter moved
to campus, I joined the Moms Association
Board of Directors. The Moms Board is
for mothers who have enjoyed being Den
Mothers, Scout Leaders, and members of
PTO. It is also for those who never had
time to be involved, but have the time now.
It is for moms who like to meet other wom-
en who have common experiences regard-
ing their children. The Association is for
mothers who want an excuse to visit their
children on campus and to contribute in
monumental ways to the well-being of their
offspring as young adults, students and
leaders. It is for parents who like to net-
work, influence, guide and support.
I love being on the Moms Association
Board. We have only four meetings a year,
but there are many other opportunities to
represent the organization on campus. I
learn something new about the Universi-
ty of Illinois at every meeting and event I
attend. I’ve heard Barbara O’Connor, our
impressive Campus Police Chief, speak
several times about the improvements
for campus safety. I’ve listened to Esther
Patt, our knowledgeable and entertaining
Director of the Tenant Union, talk about
the “Dos and Don’ts” of campus apartment
rentals. Ed Slazinik, our down-to-earth
Kl\j[Xp#8gi`c(*#)'('
director of the Illini Union, updates us at
every meeting about what’s happening on
campus. Our Parent Programs Manager,
Becki Galardy, keeps our Association goal-
directed and running smoothly, with her
focused approach and friendly demeanor.
My personal favorite volunteer event is
Summer Registration. The Moms and Dads
Associations use this occasion to speak to
new Illini parents about the student transi-
tion to college. Meeting the enthused new
students and their intrigued parents is
energizing and inspiring. I also take this
opportunity to relive college days. Because
we work consecutive days, I am able to
stay at Sherman Hall with my college
roommate, who is also an Illini parent.
Some thirty years ago, I made a mark
on a concrete bench, which left visible evi-
dence of my connection to campus as a stu-
dent. Today, in a much more crucial and
significant manner, I continue to connect
with the University of Illinois as a parent
and a member of the Moms Association
Board. I encourage all mothers who under-
stand the intrinsic benefits of volunteer
work, to get involved in the Moms Asso-
ciation (www.uofiparentprograms.illinois.
edu).

Relationship strong after son
goes to college, joins fraternity
9PK@DDL<CC<I
:FEKI@9LK@E>NI@K<I
K
here is no doubt that most of our
relationships in life are constantly
changing. We may have experienced
a childhood playmate moving away or
our best friend from high school attend-
ing a different university. While these
relationships do not ever have to end, the
strength of our relationships may fluctu-
ate based on the frequency of time spent
together. There is one relationship, how-
ever, that has never wavered in my expe-
rience: my relationship with my mom.
Before I was even born my moth-
er loved me enough to carry me in her
womb for 8 months (Yes, I was a month
premature). That is really a pretty phe-
nomenal thing if you take the time to
think about it. As a young child, I remem-
ber loving spending time with my moth-
er, especially the time before bed when
my mom would sit on my bed and read to
me. I really looked forward to it because
I knew that I would always have that time
to spend with her. I especially remember
looking forward to reading during the
Christmas season, as we both call it our
favorite holiday.
Throughout middle school and high
school, my relationship with my mom
blossomed into the friendship we still
share today. She was always willing to
help me study and learn as a young stu-
dent, and to this day is still willing to edit
essays for me. When I became involved
in sports, she always made an effort to
come watch me play, no matter how crazy
it made her schedule. When I began run-
ning year round in high school, my mom
traveled across Southern Illinois to my
cross country and track meets to make
sure she could cheer me on from the
sidelines.
My mother has given me a number
of valuable pieces of advice. One thing
she has always taught me was to strive
for perfection in the classroom. Being a
perfectionist herself, she pushed me to
stay focused on my schoolwork. Look-
ing back on my academic history, it is
easy to attribute earning the honors of
valedictorian in grade school and high
Kl\j[Xp#8gi`c(*#)'('
13
school to the importance she placed on
my academic achievements. In fact, I
think she is the reason I am studying
here at the University of Illinois in the
first place.
One thing my mom and I have always
shared is our faith in God. From a very
young age, my mom read me religious
stories or talked to me about church and
God. We spent time together leading
our church youth group, and we have
both spent time volunteering at our par-
ish as Sunday School teachers. Even
today we are constantly having conver-
sations about our religion and giving
each other books on the topic that we
find interesting.
When I first left for college, it was an
entirely new experience to come home
at night without ever seeing my mom,
but she encouraged me to embrace the
college life and enjoy my time here.
Just as she did before I left for col-
lege, my mom was always supportive of
whatever I decided to devote my time
to. When I decided to run a half-mara-
thon on campus last year, she would
call me to talk about my training and
brought the whole family to Champaign
to watch the actual race. She was even
supportive of my choice to join a frater-
nity, which may seem strange to some
mothers, given the negative stereotypes
some people choose to associate with
fraternities. My mom trusted that I was
making the right decision and now loves
to see all the opportunities I have had
because of my fraternity. Not only has
being involved with my fraternity (Pi
Kappa Alpha) and the Interfraternity
Council given me the chance to meet
hundreds of other students I would have
never met otherwise, but it has also
provided me with the chance to take on
leadership roles and make a positive
impact on campus.
Throughout my life my mom has been
more than just a mentor and a parent:
She has been one of my best friends.
She has always been there to support
me no matter what, and I thank God
every day that I was blessed with such a
loving and caring mom.

Five things to do with mom this weekend to make her feel special

Those who know the Ibrahim girls
know we are a close bunch.
Like the Bennet family, the March
sisters or the Gilmore Girls, we have
earned a reputation among our friends
for having the greatest fondness for each
other.
This Moms Weekend, however, my
mom and I will abandon the rest of the
gang to conquer and explore Chambana.
This weekend, I’ll play the Kate Hud-
son to my mom’s Goldie Hawn, the Chel-
sea to the Hillary Clinton, the Mary
Shelley to the Mary Wollstonecraft.
And I couldn’t be more excited.
I have devised a to-do list for this
weekend’s shenanigans.
Feel free to take inspiration from this
and adapt it for your own Mom’s Week-
end plans.
Keep in mind these tend to be mother-
daughter oriented.

Oatmeal, peanut butter or whoopie pie,
these delicacies can draw the attention of
any girl from any walk of life.
This applies most especially to my mom
and I, connoisseurs of the culinary arts.

No kidding, this may be the best thing
I ever do for my mom.
There have been countless times
where I couldn’t get home from work or a
friend’s place until well into the night.
My sisters have since shared with me
how, on these occasions, my mom is plas-
tered to the phone and stalking the “cell
phone-locater” Web site endlessly until
I call to reassure her I made it safely to
my bed.
The least I can do this Moms Weekend
is acquaint her to the campus so that the
next time I don’t pick up her 17 missed
calls or don’t reply to the six missed
texts, she’ll remember I’ll probably call
her back after I’ve left the lecture hall.
* 9lpXYXkZ_f]Õfn\ij%
Yes, these won’t be practical to haul
around campus, and no, there probably
won’t be a vase in the hotel room.
Still, this may be the sincerest way to
thank her for the many years of diaper
changes she had to go through. It might
be the only way to amend for the smell.
Now that I think about, I’ll buy some
perfume, too.

Let’s admit it, moms don’t have it easy.
From chauffeuring to cooking, bud-
get managing to tutoring, moms take
on a myriad of jobs in the span of a day.
\y mom is certainly no exception. So,
though she may not find the time to take
for herself on a regular basis, she and I
will put the age-old adage “walk it off”
into fruition.

It can be a cup of any form of caffeine,
really.
And if not caffeine, we can make it hot
chocolate. If not hot chocolate, make it
milk.
Regardless of the beverage type, my
mom and I often find ourselves chatting
into the depths of the night. As I have
learned, moms find real joy in talking to
their kids in a conversational manner.
And nothing, and I mean nothing, can
strike up more enthralling conversations
than the ones shared over a cup of Joe.
So buckle your seat belt, Chambana,
because my mom and I will be taking the
town in storm. The Liza Minnelli to her
Judy Garland, the Natasha Richardson to
her Vanessa Redgrave.

 But things in Champaign have certainly Scanlon who packed the place with his the-
changed since I went to school here.
I may be a bit biased, but I believe the Uni-
versity is a great place full of traditions.
My earliest memories are of my par-
ents bringing me to Fighting Illini foot-
ball games.
The beginning of my love of Illini foot-
ball games was the fun of tailgating, and
the excitement of the band marching across
the field before the game playing the state
song.
When I arrived as a freshman in 1975, I
joined the Block I and will admit that I was
“passed up” to the top of the west side.
Those football games are still loads of
fun and yes, I was the crazy mom in the
student section at the last home game this
season dancing, cheering, singing the
fi ght songs and of course thrilled to see
the Chief.
When Courtney paid her visit to the cam-
pus as a junior in high school, I walked
down Wright Street with a group of people
I had never seen before in my life and pro-
claimed to all “How could anyone want to
go anyplace but here for college? This is
the best university anywhere!”
Both Courtney and her 12-year-old sis-
ter, Cara, were shocked at my behavior.
The memories were flowing.
Some things never change, like the hike
from FAR to the Quad each day. Are the
green houses still there? I’m sure The Mor-
row Plots still stand, but what about the tun-
nel connecting the libraries? Do Psych 101
students still have to participate in “stud-
ies” to get credit for the class? Bevier Hall,
the Child Development Lab and most of the
Quad buildings don’t look like they have
changed. (Please tell me they have been
updated and the asbestos removed). And the
apartments in Champaign! I believe I sat
on the same couch when I was a junior that
atrical lecture.
What happened to “The” in Assembly
Hall? The drinking age was 19 and we went
to T-Bird - now Canopy Club - for bucket
night, Boni’s, Red Lion, Second Chance,
Mabel’s and White Horse on Fridays after
we watched “Dallas” on TV.
Every once in a while I will hear a Billy
Joel song and I just smile, remembering
having so much fun with great friends.
Once I took a tour of The Plaster Cast
Museum that was in either Greg Hall or
the English building.
Why travel the world when one could see
so many great works of art at Illinois?
I saw my fi rst performance of The Nut-
cracker at Krannert and gave my mom the
best gift ever when we attended a concert
of opera singer Leyontyne Price.
Uncle John’s Pancake House turned into
Aunt Sonya’s and was recently demolished.
What happened to the memorabilia?
And I was a very proud alumna when the
basketball team made it to the fi nal game
of the NCAA playoffs two years ago.
Now I am waiting for the football team’s
exciting season next fall.
The University was founded to educate
students from Illinois.
I was from the small town of Robinson
in the southern part of the state when I
arrived in 1975; Courtney arrived as a grad-
uate of one of the largest high schools in
the Chicago metropolitan area in 2003 yet
we both met people from all over the coun-
try who have become fast friends that will
last a lifetime.
One of the great things about U of I is
students can be themselves. If the Greek
system is for you, great! If not, that’s great
too!
There are plenty of majors and friends
for all.

Many mothers still might not see their
college-age children as adults.
Instead, they see them as little boys who
like to play in the mud or little girls who
still wear pigtails in their hair, both of
which might be true.
But college life is different from home
life.
The freedom available to college stu-
dents helps to expand horizons and to grow,
but other responsibilities, such as cleaning,
sometimes tend to go by the wayside with-
out mom saying “clean your room.”
Before moms come to visit for Moms
Weekend, some students will overhaul their
rooms to prove to mom they can keep clean
while away from her watchful eye.
Ashley Koelling, junior in Business,
said her room is normally pretty clean,
but she’ll probably do “a little dusting and
vacuuming” before her mom arrives to

make a good impression.
Scott McAdam, senior in ACES, said he
doesn’t have much to do before his mom
arrives this weekend.
“Everything is in order,” he said.
On the other hand, Trevor Woodland,
junior in LAS, said his mom has not seen
his room on a typical day, with things scat-
tered everywhere.
Aside from putting away items his mom
might deem “inappropriate,” he added he
would make sure his laundry is clean, fold-
ed and put away before his mom arrives
on campus.
“I just don’t want anything lying around,”
he said.
Some students may want to show their
parents they are here doing what they
are supposed to be doing: studying and
learning.
Jeff Lambert, junior in Engineering,
said he would put books out in his room
to show his mom he has working hard in
his studies.
Jennifer Lang, junior in LAS, said she is
excited for her mom to see her room since

she did not help her move in.
“She’s more excited probably,” Lang
said.
Clean rooms are not the only issue some
students think about when preparing for K_\]i\\[fdXmX`cXYc\kf
mom’s visit; entertaining their moms on

Tell your mother to leave the neon green
poncho at home when she comes down for
Moms Weekend.
And that skimpy dress she found in your
closet?
Don’t let her wear that, either.
Every one of the moms heading to cam-
pus this weekend have the potential to wear
something that will embarrass their Illini.
Don’t let it happen to you.
But how do you avoid a Moms Weekend
meltdown?
“Encourage your mom to look hip and
trendy, but don’t tell to her wear the same
things you wear,” said Pooja Desai, presi-
dent of Runway, a fashion RSO.
“An 18-year-old girl and a 60-year-old
woman have different body types.”
Desai, junior in LAS, said mothers should
dress conservatively but comfortably.
A knee-length dress and a cardigan
might work.
It’s okay to be creative. Just don’t let
K_\;X`cp@cc`e` s nnn%;X`cp@cc`e`%Zfd
K?<;8@CP@CC@E@=@C<G?FKFJ
your mom try too hard.
“They should wear something where
they’re not trying to look young, but look
their own age,” Desai said.
“If an older woman tries to pull off some-
thing very trendy, it usually doesn’t work
well.”
Desai said fabrics can be light, as long as
they are not transparent. Neutral is good.
Neon is not.
“Anything that’s flamboyantly colored -
stay away from that,” she said.
Your mom might want to relive her own
college days. Don’t let her.
Rebecca Lewis said her mother is com-
ing down next week, after the Moms Week-
end rush, but said she is not too concerned
about the clothing question.
“It’s my mom and she can wear what-
ever she wants,” said Lewis, junior in
Engineering.
“If someone doesn’t like it, that’s their
problem.”
In the end, keep your mom’s clothes
simple.
Keep them comfortable and classy.
And if you plan on taking her to the bars,
just keep them on her.

She is the picture of perfection: curly
brown hair, glowing green eyes and big
dimples when she smiles. She is my moth-
er, Jeanne Kennedy.
In college, my mom was always the life
of the party in her fashionable clothes and
fi re-engine red nail polish. She was often
seen telling a tale that kept her friends in
stitches for hours at a time. I am sometimes
the opposite: a quiet girl who would rather
stay in and watch a movie than go out and
party. Even though we have very different
personalities, my mom and I both found a
home at Sigma Kappa.
As a college student, my mother founded
a Sigma Kappa chapter at Elmhurst Col-
lege and became their second President.
More importantly; however, both my moth-
er and I have found a group of Sigma Kap-
pa sisters who bring out the best in us. We
found friends who help us become better

people. Throughout the past four years, I
have found a group of women in this chap-
ter who will be there when I need a shoul-
der to cry on, a friend to laugh with, or a
cheerleader in this crazy game called life.
It makes me happy to know that my mom
is still best friends with many of her Sig-
ma Kappa sisters. Her Sigma Kappa girl-
friends have adopted me as their second
daughter. They are my friends, my men-
tors, my support system, and most impor-
tantly, they are my sisters.
Although being a member of Sigma Kap-
pa has given me many things, one of the
things I am most grateful for is the spe-
cial bond my mom and I now share. Even
though U of I is far from home, my mom
has been an important part of my college
experience. She has supported me in all
