By using a new laboratory technique which can detect the structure of enzymes and measure the DNA unwind- ing process simultaneously, two research laboratories in the University collaborat- ed to study the relationship between the structure and function of specific proteins called helicase, which is crit- ical in DNA sequencing and the DNA repair system. “Helicases are a large fam- ily of proteins that exist in all living organisms. These enzymes can unwind the double stranded helix of the DNA like a zipper,” said Sinan Arslan, primary researcher and the postdoctoral research associate in Ha’s laboratory. His group is studying two different types of helicase, Rep and PcrA, and associate professor Yann Chemla’s is studying another, UvrD, but both are in the same class of helicase. Taekjip Ha, a professor in the College of Engineer- ing, and Chemla discovered there are two structures of helicase, open and closed, but the closed helicase is the functional structure. They attempted to respond to debates in the community about the helicases. Chemla said the first debate is on how many heli- case are required to carry out the function of unwinding DNA, and the other is what the functions of the helicase are in the open and closed states. Chemla said the innova- tion has the potential to be applied to several biological systems but will also hope- fully answer questions people haven’t been able to answer before. He said it will also have the potential to regu- late the activity of helicase — which is critical to DNA repair — in cells. Arslan said the study of super helicase could be used for purposes beyond DNA repair, as well. He said they wanted to develop the super helicase into a diagnostic tool that makes it easy to detect the pathogenic organisms, such as HIV and Ebola, under every condition without the limits of temperature. He said, for example, the process for detecting Ebola could be expedited to take a matter of minutes, rath- er than 21 days. Arslan said people could add a sample of possibly infected material into boiling water and dip a strip of paper made of super helicase to confirm whether the material is infected. If a pathogenic organism, like Ebola, existed in the mate- rial the paper would change colors. Additionally, Ha said the super helicase is able to kill cells by completely unwind- ing the DNA. “My fantasy is to do the same with the human enzyme and then maybe you can use this trick to kill cancer cells,” Ha said. “If you put this super helicase into human cells and target them only to the can- cer cells. Maybe the cancer cells will die.” Chemla said the research is fundamental to under- standing how nature works and will provide insight into the inner workings of the human body.

The climate of academic freedom at the University is “at best uncertain.”
After months of investi-gation, the American Asso-ciation of University Pro-fessors released a report Tuesday stating the Uni-versity violated princi-ples of academic freedom and tenure in the rescind-ment of Steven Salaita’s appointment.
Salaita was hired as a tenured associate profes-sor in the American Indi-an Studies department in October 2013. In August 2014, weeks before Salai-ta was to begin teaching at the University, Chancellor Phyllis Wise emailed Salai-ta to inform him that the Board of Trustees would not approve his appoint-ment to the University
faculty. He had recently posted tweets regarding the confl ict in Gaza.

Body of student missing since spring break found in lakeDAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
The body of missing Uni-versity student William Hempy was found in a body of water on the northeast side of Rochester, Minneso-ta, at approximately 7 p.m. Sunday.
According to Sgt. Kirby Long of the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office in Rochester, a group of people fishing dis-
covered Hempy’s body float-ing in a quarry in the 4600 block of East River Road NE.
The body was transport-ed to the Southern Minneso-ta Regional Medical Exam-iner’s Office for an autopsy. The results of the autopsy are still pending, but authori-ties said no foul play is sus-pected and that “from pri-or experience (the autopsy
is) going to take about two months” to yield results on the details of Hempy’s death.
Hempy was first reported missing by his family from their Rochester home on March 26. Family members last saw him on March 25 around 5 p.m. when he said he was going out for a run.
Hempy was a senior study-ing computer science. He
was visiting home for spring break and was set to return to campus the following day.
In a previous interview, Patrick Wade, University of Illinois Police Department spokesman, said the police department was not active-ly investigating the case, but helped the Rochester Police Department as much as possible.

above written policy would be edited to refl ect that,” Hohn said.
Dubois said these rules are in place because soror-ity houses are kept in bet-ter conditions. If the ban was lifted, he said, sorority houses would have to deal with the messiness of alco-hol or parties and potential destruction resulting from it. Typically, fraternities host parties that sorority women are invited to attend, often at no cost to them.
Dubois said he does not see the current standard as unfair for fraternities, despite the hassle having alcohol in a chapter house can cause.
“It comes off as the tra-dition of how it (has) been done is that the fraternity has always been the place
to go when you have a social event with the sorority and that has just kind of stuck,” he said.
Doherty said if the alco-hol is coming from the fra-ternities, members of the sororities cannot be sure of where the alcohol is coming from or what kind of alco-holic drink it is.
She said it is “scary to think about” because there is the potential for drinks to be drugged, but wom-en attending would not be aware.
Doherty said in her three years at the University she has become close friends with the men in certain fra-ternities so she never wor-ries about her well being. However, for girls who are just meeting members of fraternities, such as fresh-men, she said they may feel hesitant.
Taylor Gibson, freshman in LAS, said sorority poli-
cies on alcohol do not pro-mote equality within Greek life. She said giving frater-nities full control over what is provided during a fra-ternity party is unfair and unsafe.
“Honestly, girls have no control over what (fraterni-ties) are giving us. We don’t honestly have any way of knowing if they are being respectful or if they are tak-ing advantage of us,” Gib-son said.
If the alcohol rules were more lenient, she said, potentially risky situations could be eliminated.
Dubois said safety and comfort is a priority for his fraternity and the chapter strives for all members to be respectful toward women.
“The men who have a bal-ance of social and school are also the men who are a lot more respectful and can create that type of environ-ment when sorority girls do
come over,” Dubois said.Hohn said all college cam-
puses in the country, includ-ing the University, are deal-ing with this issue as they address campus culture change.
In a recent initiative proposed by Dartmouth Unveristy, President Phil-ip J. Hanlon created a plan called “Moving Dartmouth Forward.” In the plan, all students on Dartmouth Uni-versity’s campus regardless of their age will be prohib-ited from possessing hard alcohol on campus.
When asked if a plan like this would succeed on the University campus, Dubois said, “Hard alcohol would be driven underground. Kids in college drink, there is not much you can do about it. You have just got to be mindful and manage the risks associated with that.”
professors commit to work for the University.
“I think you’ll fi nd the sen-ate has been very active in
trying to pursue a number of different resolutions,” Camp-bell said.
Davis said the adminis-tration has been reluctant to accept the senate’s propos-als; AAUP concerns about the administration’s reluctancy
were refl ected in the report.In terms of reversing
AAUP censure, Davis said a reasonable fi rst step would be offering Salaita employ-ment, even though she thinks it is unlikely.
“I want the administration
to make unequivocal state-ments about the right of fac-ulty to make opinionated speech in their classrooms as long as they are fulfi lling their jobs,” Davis said.

As powdered alcohol, or Palcohol, could start being sold this summer, some Illinois senators and house representatives have sponsored a bill to ban the substance .
Palcohol has not even hit the shelves yet but is already banned in Alaska, North Dakota, Utah, Virgin-ia, Louisiana, South Caroli-na and Vermont.
Palcohol creator Mark Phillips explains his rea-soning for creating it on his website . As an active person, he always wanted to relax with alcohol after a long day exercising, but said it was hard to carry bottles of wine and beer .
Phillips said he teamed up with scientists to create an alcoholic powder, which is about 80 calories per serving, not including the calories in the drink mixed with the powder .
He said he does not believe banning powdered alcohol is about public safe-ty. He believes liquid alco-hol is a bigger threat to public health, yet it is com-pletely legal . Phillips said the movement to ban Pal-cohol was likely sparked by the novelty of the idea and because people are unsure of how it will alter the nation’s drinking culture.
Roy Acree, captain of the University Police Depart-ment, said the police have not yet dealt with Palcohol
but see this as a problematic new issue for the campus.
“It’ll be easier to conceal Palcohol and will be next to impossible for us to iden-tify it,” Acree said. “This will cause people to sneak alcohol into class and cause issues for venues like foot-ball games or Unoffi cial St. Patrick’s Day.”
Illinois Sen. Julie Morri-son, D-29, said she is con-cerned about the new sub-stance affecting the state’s youth. She is a co-sponsor on the powdered alcohol ban that passed the Senate unanimously and is cur-rently being discussed in the House.
“U.S. Sen. Chuck Schum-er (D-New York) is pursu-ing a federal ban, saying, ‘Underage alcohol abuse is a growing epidemic with tragic consequences and powdered alcohol could exacerbate this,’” said Mor-rison in an email.
“Liquid alcohol is easier to conceal, easier to spike drinks and easier to use to binge drink,” Phillips said. “Even though liquid alco-hol is a proven public health problem, we don’t ban it ... We’ve learned that prohibi-tion doesn’t work. We can’t legislate behavior.”
According to Phillips’ website, Palcohol would be sold in liquor stores and regulated the same way as liquid alcohol. Phillips stat-ed that an unintended con-sequence of the ban is that it would make it easier for
underage drinkers to get it on the streets and abuse it.
Even though it would be sold in liquor stores , Acree said it would be just as easy for underage drinkers to get powdered alcohol from an older person as it is for them to get liquid alcohol.
As the debate over ban-ning Palchol continues, some Illinois legislatures
continue to push for the ban as the bill is discussed in the House.
“Whether you are con-servative or liberal, no one wants a nanny government telling its citizens what they can and cannot drink,” Phil-lips stated on his website.
Powdered alcohol ban reviewed State concerns 1. People will snort powdered alcohol and it will allow them to get drunk in a new way.2. Powdered alcohol will make it easier to sneak alcohol into venues.3. It will be easier to spike drinks and drug people.4. The alcohol content is too concentrated.5. It will be easier for minors to obtain, conceal and abuse powdered alcohol in all environments. This will increase the underage drinking epidemic.6. Palcohol appeals to underage drinkers due to its accessibility.7. Users can sprinkle the powder onto someone’s food to intoxicate them.
Mark Phillips’ defense 1. Liquid alcohol is easier to snort. Snorting powdered alcohol is painful and diffi cult to get drunk from.2. A shot of liquid alcohol is easier to conceal and is 1/4th the volume of a shot of powdered alcohol.3. Liquid alcohol dissolves 30 times faster in a drink.4. Palcohol contains the same alcohol by volume as a normal mixed drink.5. If it is regulated, it will be sold in liquor stores just like liquid alcohol.6. Palcohol costs four times more than liquid alcohol, so minors would likely not be willing to purchase it.7. It’s unlikely a person could consume enough of it on their food to equal one drink and it would not get them drunk.
CHICAGO — A CTA rail operator who fell asleep at the controls and crashed a Blue Line train into the O’Hare station last year did not report to work adequate-ly rested as she juggled dif-ferent starting times, and the transit agency failed to properly manage her sched-ule to reduce the risk of fa-tigue, an investigation by the National Transporta-
tion Safety Board conclud-ed Tuesday.
Citing those factors as the probable cause of the ac-cident on March 24, 2014, the investigation also found that contributing factors in-cluded the CTA’s failure to provide suffi cient speed re-strictions and stopping dis-tances in the event of an emergency as a train en-tered the station.
KATHMANDU, Nepal — With the death toll from Ne-pal’s massive earthquake topping 4,600 on Tuesday, police, soldiers and a Chi-nese rescue team searched for signs of another body as construction equipment dug deep into the wreckage of the Budget Hotel in Kathmandu.
Police said about 25 peo-ple were in the five-story brick hotel Saturday when the 7.8 quake struck. At least 15 fl ed to safety, while one was saved from the rubble that day.
Searchers have since re-covered nine bodies. On
Tuesday, they were still look-ing for at least one more.
The missing hotel recep-tionist was a friend of Par-wan Yadav, 21, a college student waiting anxiously among the crowd watching the recovery effort.
“In many places, people are missing still,” Yadav said.
Three days after the earth-quake struck, the death toll in Nepal reached 4,680 with more than 9,000 people in-jured, according to a govern-ment spokesman. At least 10 of the dead were foreigners, including four Americans.
discuss whether to recom-mend censure at the end of May, Rudy Fichtenbaum, AAUP president said. Fich-tenbaum said he believes it is “pretty certain” the com-mittee will recommend cen-sure. If recommended, the AAUP will vote on whether to censure the University at its annual meeting in Wash-ington D.C. on June 13.
Wilson said that based on the report, censure is likely. To be taken off the censure list, Fichtenbaum said University policies would have to be changed and there would have to be “clear redress for the indi-vidual who was harmed.” However, Fichtenbaum said, currently it does not seem as if the administra-tion is concerned or inter-ested in avoiding censure.
According to the report, “The stated reasons for the rejection of the Salai-ta appointment by the chancellor and the board of trustees violated Pro-fessor Salaita’s academic freedom and have cast a pall of uncertainty over the degree to which academic freedom is understood and respected.”
The report also stat-ed Wise’s decision to dis-miss Salaita’s appointment before contacting those who recommended him was in violation of “widely accept-ed” standards of academic governance.
According to the report, investigators sought to answer fi ve questions about Salaita’s dismissal.
In drafting the report, investigators questioned: the sequence of events leading up to Salaita’s dis-missal; Salaita’s status with the University at the time his appointment was rejected; the relevance of extramural expression; the role of “civility” in assess-ing faculty qualifi cations; and the overall climate of academic freedom at the University.
Members of the com-mittee found that although Salaita’s tweets were relat-ed to his fi eld of study, they were addressed to the larg-er public and had “social, political, economic or other interest,” and therefore fi t the defi nition of extramu-ral speech.
The AAUP’s “Statement of Principles on Academ-ic Freedom and Tenure” asserts that extramural speech is not grounds for dismissal.
Fichtenbaum and Hen-ry Reichman, vice pres-ident and Committee A chair, originally issued a statement about Salaita’s appointment on Aug. 7.
Fichtenbaum and Reich-man responded to media reports about the dismissal stating if the reports were accurate, it was very possi-ble Salaita’s rights were vio-lated. However, the recently released report is the fi rst offi cial AAUP statement asserting that Salaita’s rights were indeed violated.
Salaita and his legal counsel fi led suit against the University in the feder-al court of the northern dis-trict of Illinois, on Jan. 29.
Specifi cally, Salaita is suing the Board of Trust-ees, Wise, President Rob-ert Easter, Vice President for Academic Affairs Chris-tophe Pierre and unnamed donors.
In the suit Salaita claimed the University, and those mentioned in the suit, violated his consti-tutional rights, including free speech and due pro-cess. Additionally, he sued for breach of contract and for intentional emotional distress.
Salaita is seeking mon-etary relief and the job for which he was originally
hired.The committee likened
Salaita’s dismissal to a sim-ilar 1963 University case involving Professor Leo Koch. Koch was a biology professor who was suspend-ed and later dismissed after writing a letter published in The Daily Illini defend-ing trial marriages and pre-marital sex.
After evaluating Koch’s dismissal — which led to the University being cen-sured from 1963 to 1967 — the association stated it hoped the University would take a broader view of its function in the world and the value of academic freedom.
It stated the University must act in the communi-ty in which it is located but consider the national and global implications of its actions, as well. The 1963 censure led to serious revi-sions of University policies and procedures on academ-ic freedom and speech.
The report states, “More than half a century later, the undersigned subcom-mittee expresses its simi-lar hope that the current controversy will ultimately yield a similar result.”

WASHINGTON — Scott Ackerman and Jamie Car-penter, from Lexington, Kentucky, stood among hun-dreds of people in front of the U.S. Supreme Court build-ing Tuesday, hoping that the nation’s highest justices can be convinced that the two men have a right to be married
The scene in front of the Supreme Court on Tues-day was a melange of car-nival, protest and political rally, as the justices inside heard arguments on whether there’s a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.
Most in front of the court-house appeared to support
same-sex marriage, and there was a prevailing air of confi dence that the justices would side with them. Pro-testers of same-sex marriage were also there, calling oth-ers in the crowd perverts.
Carpenter and Ackerman were married last year in California, but their home state of Kentucky won’t recognize the union. Ken-tucky is one of four states whose bans on same-sex marriage were being chal-lenged before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, and Car-penter and Ackerman stood in line to see the arguments.
Carpenter marveled that he was able to witness a landmark case that will determine marriage rights in America.

Ever since we were chil-dren, our diets have been, in large part, controlled
by others. Growing up, most of us were told by influential adults to “eat our vegetables,” “finish our plates” and “leave some Nutella for the rest of us” (my mom).
With the exception of that last one (because I will never outgrow Nutella), we cease to hear most of these comments about our eating habits by the time we finish high school.
So you can imagine how annoyed I was last week when, as a 21-year-old, my enjoyment of a gluten-free cake was dis-rupted by the comment, “Oh you shouldn’t be gluten-free.”
And this is not an isolated incident. Many people on glu-ten-free diets are exposed to a slew of derisive remarks and eye rolls made by people who falsely presume we are gluten-free because it’s a “fashion-able trend.”
Unless one is engaging in really dangerous behavior, dietary habits are clearly a personal choice. Thus, peo-ple should avoid being overly judgmental about what dietary choices others make.
For those who may not know, gluten is a protein found main-ly in wheat that has been med-ically proven to cause adverse reactions when consumed by individuals with celiac dis-ease. The test for celiac dis-ease is a blood test and the treatment for it is a gluten-free diet.
Even though celiac disease is estimated to affect 1 per-cent of the population, about 30 percent of adults in Amer-ica are cutting back on their gluten intake due to sensitivi-ties, allergies and other health concerns. The issue of a glu-ten-free diet has been subject to heated controversy, as many deem it a fad diet for most of the population.
I’ll have to admit that I understand why people have the misconception that it is just a diet craze. As shown in a segment done by Jimmy Kim-mel, most people don’t know what gluten is, let alone what constitutes having a sensitiv-ity or intolerance.
It’s probably true that this unfamiliarity exists among some of that 30 percent in America trying to cut back, as well. But not everyone who commits to eliminating a sig-nificant portion of foods from their diet is doing it because it’s trendy.
This is not to trivialize celi-ac disease in any way; it is a very serious condition that can
mean life or death for those affected by it. But due to the stigma that surrounds going gluten-free, even those with a diagnosis feel the blunt end of the doubts and snide remarks made by individuals who think their ability to digest wheat makes them experts. In real-ity, there are plenty of studies supporting the relief even peo-ple without celiac disease feel when avoiding wheat.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study con-ducted by the Monash Univer-sity Department of Medicine and Gastroenterology showed results in support of the exis-tence of wheat sensitivities in people without celiac disease.
Additionally, follow-up stud-ies have found other dietary contributors to the effects of gluten sensitivities, such as sugars called FODMAPS found in glutinous wheat prod-ucts and other foods. These studies show that just because there isn’t a definitive blood test for gluten sensitivities like there is for celiac disease, it doesn’t mean that other peo-ple don’t find legitimate health benefits from avoiding wheat.
The fact that some have no problems eating gluten does not mean they know what is best for me, my health or my comfort more than I do. I am sure others would be annoyed if, upon seeing someone eat-ing a slice of bread, I began
preaching about gluten-free diets.
I don’t advocate for avoid-ing wheat. I have simply found that following a gluten-free diet has helped improve my digestive health, avoid head-aches and feel less fatigued, among other positive health benefits.
Despite the relief I and mil-lions have felt after changing our eating habits, people still jump to the conclusion that all of us are just hipsters on bandwagons or are all some-how delusional enough to sys-tematically exclude an entire group of foods for no apparent reason.
Whether someone has a sen-sitivity, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, Colitis or any other reason to avoid wheat, it’s a personal matter. I and many who are gluten-free have to constantly deal with misin-formed individuals who don’t take us seriously.
To those who have passed judgment on people who avoid gluten: try and recog-nize that not all of us are on a bandwagon.
Additionally, we are well beyond the point in our lives where we should nitpick about what is and isn’t on someone else’s plate. After all, we are grown-ups for crying out loud.

The Education Trust recently released a study titled “Funding Gaps
2015” that focuses on severe funding inequities between high- and low-poverty districts on a per-pupil basis.
The report reveals that Illinois has the widest fund-ing gap in the country, as “the highest poverty districts receive nearly 20 percent less state and local funding than the lowest poverty districts.” Note that this report does not examine federal funding.
Roughly speaking, this reported gap exists partial-ly because local funding for a school district stems from local property taxes, which are naturally higher for high-income districts and lower for low-income districts.
The funds Illinois distrib-utes to the low-income dis-tricts do not make up for the variation in local funding. As a result, these districts too often end up with inadequate school funds per pupil, especially compared to higher-income areas.
For example, New Trier is a public high school with 4 percent low-income students; Centennial High School in Champaign has 51 percent low-income learners. While the state does account for a higher percentage of the total fund-ing at Centennial High School
as compared with New Trier High School, the discrepancy is still glaring because of the local property taxes.
New Trier High School has $21,372 of operational spend-ing per pupil in the district. Comparatively, Centennial High School has $12,719 of operational spending per pupil in the district.
Illinois’ funding system must better account for dis-crepancies in districts’ local funding. The fact that stu-dents already from low-income areas are receiving signifi-cantly less funding than their counterparts is a backwards concept that warrants serious examination.
A conversation needs to take place about reducing, restructuring or eliminating the degree to which education funding relies on local prop-erty taxes. We need a system that allows for satisfactory funding for both high-income and low-income districts.
The study conservatively estimates that a school needs to spend about 40 percent more money to educate a low-income student to the same level as a student who is not from a low-income household.
This percentage accounts for the fact that low-income students more often have knowledge deficits upon enter-ing school, need additional learning periods, need outside care, etc.
With that in consideration, underfunding these students is beyond unfair; it likely wid-ens the education achievement gap between low-income learn-
ers and their counterparts. Because socioeconomic status is so intricately tied to race, this funding formula factors into the racial achievement gap, as well.
School funding affects whether a district is able to attract and retain strong educators, and it affects the facility and atmosphere in which students learn. It par-tially determines what sorts of learning expectations are placed on students.
Emily Sheridan, president of Epsilon Delta teaching fra-ternity and junior in Educa-tion, spoke to the necessity of funding.
“(Funding) can enhance the experience by providing mul-tiple mediums for learning to give all students who learn dif-ferently access to the general education curriculum,” Sheri-dan said. “It can hinder the experience by not providing proper resources.”
Although the issue is ampli-fied in Illinois, inequitable funding is problematic in many other states, as well.
The report finds that nation-ally, “the highest poverty dis-tricts receive about $1,200, or 10 percent, less per stu-dent than the lowest poverty districts.”
As this issue is one of national concern, the report relies heavily on the inter-section of education and the American dream, a connection that has always been apparent in my mind.
“As Americans, we love to think of ourselves as living in the land of equal opportunity,
a country where anyone will-ing to work hard can make it. But we have to look no further than our schools to know that today, the opportunities that our country provides are any-thing but equal,” the report states.
While poor school funding practices are not the sole bar-rier to social and economic mobility in this country, the quality of education has an undeniable and vast effect on whether a student will contin-ue on to college, which leads to a wider range of economic opportunity and mobility.
This report therefore speaks not only to the intersection of education and the Ameri-can Dream, but it more widely calls attention to the existent intersection of education and the wellbeing of American youth.
Underfunding low-income schools also leads to a weaker overall state and national edu-cation system. It is not exag-gerating to then suggest that these weaker educational sys-tems lead to less knowledge-able, less cultured generations.
Equitable school funding will not fix America’s public school system, just as a per-fect education system would not fully solve the issues of economic and social mobil-ity in this country. But there can be no question that better and more equitable funding will move forward the effort to ensure that all students have access to quality education.

Fraternities, sororities

T he University boasts one of the largest Greek com-munities in the na-tion. With 37 soror-
ities and 60 fraternities on campus, about 23 percent of the undergraduate student body is Greek affiliated.
Oklahoma University’s Sig-ma Alpha Epsilon members’ racist chant, the Universi-ty of Florida’s Zeta Beta Tau members’ alleged spitting on veterans and many other re-cent controversies in Greek communities have made many question if the tradi-tion of Greek communities should be halted altogether. Instead of eliminating Greek life, we believe that eliminat-ing the vast, gendered dif-ferences between fraterni-ties and sororities could be a way of solving many of these problems.
One of the major differenc-es between fraternities and sororities is the fact that so-rorities cannot possess al-cohol in the chapter house. Some even ban males from all areas of the chapter house except the first floor common area. These regulations are instilled nationally, as well as with some houses on this campus.
This is believed to solve problems, but instead, we be-lieve these gendered regula-tions could cause inadvertent harm. While we understand these regulations are put in place by a chapter’s national headquarters, having one de-finitive, equal rule for male and female Greek organiza-tions could be far more effec-tive.
For example, administra-tors at Dartmouth College have established a new pro-tocol called “Moving Dart-mouth Forward,” which prohibits all students at Dart-mouth from possessing hard alcohol, including fraternity and sorority houses.
In contrast, an article from The New York Times pub-lished in January showcased Greek members who believe sororities should be allowed to host parties where alco-hol is available. They believe this could make women feel more comfortable simply by being on their “own turf,” and potentially lower the risk of sexual assault, especially since female members would know the exits and layouts of their house, which is not the case for many partygoers at fraternities.
While we aren’t advocating for either of these protocols, necessarily, they are two ex-amples of students and uni-versities tinkering with dif-ferent ways to ensure safety and heightened gender equal-ity in Greek systems. Each Greek system operates dif-ferently, has different prob-lems and therefore has dif-ferent solutions. None is inherently correct, but new reforms are needed to lower future problems.
Greek life is a long stand-ing tradition at the Uni-versity and deserves to be maintained and im-proved. The reputation of our Greek community and Greek communities nation-ally can only be bettered by reforms that will allow houses to operate safely and equally, no matter the gender of their members.

Bikers ride for cancerBY BRITTNEY NADLERSTAFF WRITER
They end at the Golden Gate Bridge, weave past accident-prone casual bikers, and glide down one final hill before reuniting with their families on a beach after 73 days apart.
They are Illini 4000, a reg-istered nonprofit and Regis-tered Student Organization that raises money for cancer research, patient support and services through annual bike rides each summer.
On May 23, 28 students will embark on a 4,519.1 mile journey from New York City to San Francisco. But between getting lost, chang-ing the course for safety rea-sons and going off path to see spectacles, the mileage can vary.
They begin by recruiting at the start of the school year, and by early October, the team is finalized. Each poten-tial member goes through an informal interview before they’re selected.
Then, the training begins.“(The first day of train-
ing) is funny because usu-ally the team barely knows each other. They’ve may-be been to one or two meet-ings together,” said Kenny Shaevel, director of market-ing and senior in Engineer-ing and LAS, who rode in 2012 because his father was a cancer survivor. “They get to know their teammates as they do push-ups together.”
The team begins by meet-ing twice a week at the Activi-ties and Recreation Center on Saturday mornings and once in smaller groups throughout the week, Shaevel said. They jog, run and cross-train.
After spring break, the biking begins. They bike in and around Champaign County and always begin at the Armory.
“On Saturdays, we do a big team bike ride, and they get longer, so our first one is 30 miles, the next one is 45, and they go up by 15 miles up to 90,” Shaevel said. “Dur-ing the week, we do 20 to 25 mile rides in smaller groups.”
Since it began in 2007, 198 students (including this year’s team) have ridden and raised more than $800,000. Each member is required to raise at least $3,500 through-out the year. This year’s group has already raised more than $85,000.
After a year of prepara-tion, their journey begins in New York City. Josh Weis-berg, director of logistics and sophomore in Engineering who rode in 2012, describes
the first day as the toughest.“They’ll have 80 miles and
about 4,500 feet of climbing, which is pretty significant, and that’s from going up Manhattan,” Weisberg said. “It makes Illinois look super flat, but it’s nothing compared to the West, where they’ll be climbing mountains.”
Weisberg is in charge of routing the trip and explained that there are many unexpected difficul-ties, such as last year’s wild-fires. Currently, Weisberg said one of their intended routes is blocked and they are “out of reroutes,” meaning all nearby alternatives have also been deemed unsafe.
The group will bike an average of 71.9 miles per day for seven hours a day. They will pass through forests in Colorado and climb moun-tains that don’t flatten or go downhill. They’ll also pass through deserts and the hole-filled roads of California, which Weisberg described as Swiss cheese-like.
Preparing for hills is dif-ficult in Champaign, where there are hardly any slopes to practice on, said Tory Cross, president and senior in LAS, who rode in 2012. Shaevel said he used parking garage inclines to prepare for his ride.
Come rain or shine, Illini 4000 bikes through all condi-tions unless there is a safety threat, like lightning.
Illini 4000’s trip allows them to cross paths with dozens of people across the country who have also been affected by cancer. They document these experienc-es through a project called The Portraits Project and typically collect between 40 to 60 stories each summer,
Cross said. Cross recalled a couple she
met in Minnesota during her ride in 2012. Tracy Shaw and her husband, owners of a gas station, asked what the team was doing and read their jer-seys. Tracy broke down in tears and went into the back of the store.
“Her husband came back and explained their son had passed away from prostate cancer when he was four, which is extremely rare,” Cross said. “So it’s things like that where we stop and we just talk to people and people start talking to us.”
Sarah Halko, senior in LAS, will be riding this summer. When Halko was in eighth grade, her grand-father was diagnosed with cancer, but it was detected early. He is now in remission.
Her grandmother is the one who continues to push her to ride. She passed away over winter break and never had cancer but was touched by the cause and what her granddaughter was trying to do, Halko explained.
“Even when a lot of peo-ple were saying, ‘Can you do this? It’s going to be hard,’ right away she said, ‘You can do this. It’s going to be a great thing,’” Halko said.
When the 73rd day hits and riders return to their every-day lives, riders like Shaev-el remember what inspired them.
“I’ve never really been super athletic, and I’ve always hated the outdoors, but what attracted me to Illi-ni 4000 was that it worked for a cause I was really passion-ate about,” Shaevel said.

solving a puzzle or escort-ing someone to a designat-ed place; however, all of the missions correlate with the backstory of each game. The final mission is given Sun-day, and if completed by the humans, they ultimate-ly win the game. Willis said the missions are what truly test players’ quick-thinking and dexterity.
“It makes you feel like you are challenging yourself, but you also feel a sense of pride when you finish a mission,” he explained.
HVZ is a well-known game created by Gnarwhal studios in October 2005. It originally started at Goucher College in Baltimore and eventual-ly spread nationwide, reach-ing the University campus in 2010.
Jen Alinger, president of HVZ and sophomore in Engineering, thinks this rise in popularity is due to the unique quality the game brings to people’s everyday lives.
“It’s a nice break from the monotony of classes,” Alin-ger said. “It’s something dif-ferent to do. You still have
your daily routine, but it somehow is a little bit bet-ter because you have to avoid zombies or have to chase the humans.”
Joe Sklover, co-founder of HVZ and Gnarwhal studios, said that the game is a help-ful tool in bringing people together to create a commu-nity. He has run the game in many conventions and even various corporations as a team-building exercise.
“It gets a rag tag group of people together,” Sklover said. “Where else are you going to see the captain of the lacrosse team defend the life of a kid that is in the mag-ic club?”
Alinger also agreed that meeting other people is an important aspect of the game.
“I personally have made most of my closest friends through this game,” Alinger said. “It introduces you to people that you would have never met otherwise.”
In addition to HVZ’s emphasis on community, Kersting believes that the game also allows students to explore the campus in a fun and interesting way.
“For freshman, it is a great way to see the campus and a great way to learn about
where everything is,” Ker-sting said. “People find the most random ways to get around campus without hav-ing to step foot outside.”
Currently Sklover said HVZ has 2,282 games and 141,000 registered players through Gnarwal Studios. He said the purpose of the com-pany in regards to the game is to make sure that HVZ is free for everyone. In addi-tion, they also offer differ-ent software to help manage larger HVZ games, includ-ing the one at the Universi-ty. He also said that anyone is welcome to start a game and modify any rules to their pleasing.
“It is a fun option that will guarantee you the opportu-nity to meet new people,” Sklover said. “It is just going to introduce you to all these new people and all of these new creative minds. From TAs, to students, or even professors, all are welcome to join in on this apocalyptic adventure happening again this fall.
“It is a great way to explore (and) get involved, and the community is just amazing,” Kersting said. “Win or lose, everyone has a great time.”

It was a night near Halloween. The humans scurried toward the hill in the Arboretum in hopes of completing their final mission. With only the
moon as their source of light, they began building a fort they were asked to create.
They were told to work fast. They were told to always check their sur-roundings. This was life or death.
But then zombies, cloaked by the darkness, began to creep up the hill. They surrounded their unknowing opponents and waited with anticipa-tion for the right time to strike. As soon as a yellow headband was spot-ted, there was nothing left to do but run. The previously silent garden was now filled with screams as the humans sprinted down the hill and scattered into the darkness, terrified
by the thought of a zombie’s touch. Some lost their way in Orchard Downs. Others were not able to get away and became what they previ-ously feared the most. But it was only a game: Humans vs. Zombies.
That night was an experience that most players said they would never forget.
“It was like a zombie movie, where the humans are getting chased down a hill while zombies were running after them,” said Bret Kersting, Humans vs. Zombies mediator and senior in LAS. “It was absolutely epic.”
Humans vs. Zombies, also known as HVZ, is a game offered to anyone on campus that is willing to with-stand days of paranoia. There are two games during the fall semes-ter and one game during the spring semester. It involves two differ-ent teams, one being the humans,
the other zombies. The goal of the zombies is to tag as many humans as possible, while the humans try to avoid being tagged for as long as they can. Zombies can tag humans at any moment during the game except when they are within the safe zones: anytime they are indoors, anytime they are 15 feet from a dorm, and anytime they are at work or an RSO event.
“The way that I would describe it is, a campus-wide, week-long, modi-fied game of tag that takes place any-time you are outside,” Kersting said.
The spring game started on April 14 at midnight, with everyone wear-ing blue headbands, the visible indi-cation of a human. Among these players, however, are three to four original zombies. Once a zombie tags their first human, the victim switch-es to a yellow headband, which is the recognizable sign of a zombie. Zom-
bies then try to convert as many blue headbands as possible by tagging their opponents. Humans, however, can avoid getting tagged by throwing socks at the zombies, which “stun” them for a certain period of time.
“The uniqueness of it all is what made me attracted to it,” said Delvan Willis, HVZ executive board member and junior in LAS. “When I first saw the game going on, I was confused of what people were doing and why peo-ple were running around and throw-ing socks. I think that it is these type of questions that make people inter-ested in it.”
In addition to the main objective of the game, each day there are various missions that the humans must com-plete, while simultaneously trying to avoid the zombies attempting to stop them. The missions can vary from

Biking coast to coast for cancer

Editor’s Note:The Daily Illini sports desk sits down on Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
As the Illinois men’s golf season winds down, every mem-

At the Boilermaker Invi-tational April 20-21 in West Lafayette, Indiana, junior Charlie Danielson fi nished tied for fi rst with teammate junior Thomas Detry. Dan-ielson totaled a 65 in the second round of the tour-nament and nearly set a course record at the Kam-pen course.

In-state adversary West-ern Illinois entered its matchup with the Illinois softball team looking for a win against a Big Ten oppo-nent for the fi rst time since 2010.
However, in their fi nal home game of the season,
the Illini made sure no streak — winning or los-ing — would be broken at Eichelberger Field Tuesday night.
Illinois (25-24, 13-7 Big Ten) has now won its last four meetings with Western Illinois (16-21, 6-9 Summit League). The Illini suffered losses in their fi rst four
home games of the season, but have rallied to fi nish their home schedule 10-6.
“Coming into the club-house today, the team had their sights set on playing a quality softball game,” head coach Terri Sullivan said. “It was impressive how Jade (Vecvanags) and our defense were able to just
shut them down and offen-sively, we saw some exciting things, too.”
After a 1-2-3 top of the fi rst for sophomore pitch-er Vecvanags and the Illini defense, Illinois wasted no time securing an early lead. First baseman Alyssa Gun-

During the Illinois base-ball team’s player and coach media availability session Monday, designat-ed hitter Pat McInerney was asked what the Illini needed to do to make sure not to overlook Southern Illinois when the two met Tuesday night.
The sophomore began to answer before the question was fi nished and quickly pointed out that the Salu-kis handed the Illini one of their six losses this sea-son. McInerney said there was no reason why Illinois should expect an easy vic-tory in its trip to Carbon-dale, Illinois.
And it wasn’t easy, but behind another strong pitching performance from an Illini starter and a line-up that continues to hit well, the Illini (36-6-1, 13-1 Big Ten) won their 18th-straight game, 7-5 over the
Salukis (10-35, 5-10 MVC). Against the Salukis, the
Illini continued their April long success at the plate. The team has only scored fewer than four runs twice this month — once against Northwestern on April 3 and once against Purdue on April 13. With Colin Holderman on the mound for Southern Illinois — the freshman entered the game with an 8.85 ERA in seven appearances and one start — the Illini bats had little trouble driving home runs.
Illinois scored six runs in the fi rst four innings and chased Holderman out of the game after just three innings — fi ve of the runs were credited to the right-handed pitcher. First base-man David Kerian drove in two of the runs with a sin-gle to left fi eld in the fi rst inning and one in the third on a fl yout to center. The

Freshman makes All Big Ten team, sees room for improvement
BY CHRIS KENNEDYSTAFF WRITER
It wasn’t just match point, it was championship point. Aron Hiltzik tried not to look over at Court 1, where his brother Jared was locked in battle. He tried not to think about the sea of orange and blue holding its breath behind him with the Illini men’s ten-nis team up 3-0 over Ohio State in the Big Ten Tourna-ment fi nal. He tried to ignore the sound of the wind whip-ping against the banners that surround the courts at the Atkins Tennis Center.
He served. He powered balls from the baseline until his opponent’s shot dropped against the net. Aron dropped everything — he was swarmed by teammates and congratulated by support-ers. A few minutes later, he embraced his brother. Noth-ing had to be said. He had made his older brother proud.
“He’s the best role model I could have,” Aron said. “You could tell. The way he hugged me, the way after ... you could tell how proud he was.”
It’s been a long road for the Hiltzik brothers to get to this moment, but they’ve always been together. The pair com-plements each other, they admire each other and they are always there for each oth-er. Teammates once again as Illini, they’ve grown closer and that has helped Aron to grow up.
***Aron arrived on campus in
the fall of 2014 and it didn’t take long for the Hiltziks to pick up where they had left off at home.
In a mile run before the start of the season, Aron was ahead of Jared. Entering the fi nal lap, Aron led by a few seconds. Jared looked up — he couldn’t have that. Jared sprinted to catch up to his brother on the fi nal straight-away. The fi nal results: Jar-ed: 5:17, Aron: 5:18.
It’s a respectful competi-tion between the two broth-ers. They’ve always been great friends, even though their personalities and play-ing styles are polar oppo-sites. Their mother, Arlyn Stern-Hiltzik, said she never remembers the two fi ghting.
While Jared always had to show he had the upper hand as the older brother, whether in winning a mile or riding in the front seat of the car, they’ve always gotten along.
“They were always very, very close, and always com-petitive,” Arlyn said. “They always had the same coach, always did the same.”
After two years apart, they are back on the same team this year. The brothers have been essential to the Illini’s success. Jared is the team’s No. 1 singles player as a junior and has put together a 19-2 record this spring. Aron is 17-3 as a freshman and has won 15 matches in a row.
The brothers both say they’ve developed an even stronger bond on campus than when they lived under the same roof in Wilmette, Illinois. Arlyn thinks it’s because they share so much now.
A few years ago, the broth-ers ran together through the neighborhoods around the New Trier High School ten-nis courts. The boys were
late to school practice after coming from private tennis practice and had to run as punishment.
The two only had to run together for a year and a half with the Trevians. While Aron had always played on a younger baseball or soc-cer team, the brothers got a chance to play side-by-side as the team’s top two players.
Midway through 2012, Jar-ed’s senior year, they decid-ed to leave the team to focus on individual juniors tour-naments. Both carried high rankings that they wanted to maintain. Leaving the team was a show of solidarity for the brothers.
“They backed each oth-er up to leave,” Arlyn said. “It was a cool buddy-buddy thing. They weren’t treated very fairly about something that happened. They looked at each other and both said, ‘We’re not going to take this.’”
When Jared went away to Champaign, it was the fi rst time the brothers weren’t training together. But Aron frequently visited his brother and started to become a part of the team, two years before he would offi cially become an Illini.
Brad Dancer, head coach of Illini men’s tennis, was inter-ested in Aron as a recruiting prospect almost as soon as he met Jared. While seeing Jared play at a tournament, Arlyn said she remembers Dancer asking to see “Baby Hiltzik.”
While Dancer gave Aron space to consider other schools, Jared wasn’t as accommodating. Aron’s col-lege decision came down to Illinois and Georgia, anoth-er tennis powerhouse. Arlyn said she posted a picture on Facebook of Aron holding hats of the two schools, pon-dering his decision. When Jared saw the photo, he had none of it.
“Jared was pissed,” Arlyn said. “He goes ‘Aron, you can’t even consider anoth-er school. We need you. We need you here at our school.’ And that was it, that sealed the deal.”
Aron’s decision came early in his junior year.
“It just made a really hom-ey feel and an atmosphere that I really wanted to be a part of,” Aron said.
While Aron made his col-lege commitment early, he also decided to go away for his senior year of high school. Instead of fi nishing at New Trier, Aron attended the Junior Tennis Champi-ons Center in College Park, Maryland.
His previous private coach, Billy Heiser, was leaving to coach on the ATP Tour full-time, and he recommended the program to Aron. Despite that, Arlyn had worries. But the fi nal factor for the fam-ily was when Aron lost the senior parking lottery for the school year. Arlyn was also sold when New Trier said that Aron could still graduate.
Leaving forced Aron to mature. He was getting him-self up at 6:30 a.m. to walk over to the tennis facility, doing his own laundry and cooking his own meals.
While it was a tough transi-tion for Aron, it was also hard

team added another run in the fi fth.
Seven runs would be enough for the Illini. After Tuesday’s win, Illinois is 24-0 this season when it scores more than fi ve runs. With 11 hits, the Illi-ni offense provided another strong performance for the pitching staff to keep safe.
Pitcher Rob McDonnell made the start for the Illi-ni. Of his eight starts this season, including Tues-day’s tilt, fi ve have come in the middle of the week.
Heading into the game, McDonnell held a 1.82 ERA and had struck out 46 oppo-nents in 11 appearances and 49 1/3 innings pitched.
McDonnell stayed the course against the Salu-kis on Tuesday. The senior pitched six innings, struck out six and allowed six hits. He cruised for the fi rst four innings before the Salukis broke up the shutout with two runs in the fi fth and one in the sixth.
Despite the strong per-formance from McDon-nell, the bullpen had some trouble with the South-ern Illinois lineup. Sopho-more Cody Sedlock came
in relief in the seventh and got into some trouble when the Salukis scored two unearned runs. J.D. Nielsen came into the game in the eighth and pitched one scoreless inning. Nick Blackburn came in the ninth to get the fi nal two outs and secure the 7-5 win for the Illini.
With this last win over Southern Illinois, the team has fi nished with a perfect April record (16-0) and now boasts the best winning percentage in the NCAA.

ther was the fi rst player of the night to cross home plate — driven in by right-fi elder Nicole Evan’s 14th double of the season. A Carly Thomas sacrifi ce fl y would round out the fi rst-inning scoring for Illinois to make the score 2-0.
Vecvanags (18-11) dazzled in the circle. She was work-ing on a no-hitter two outs into the fourth inning until Tierney Bottino looped a sin-gle to shallow center, giving the Leathernecks their fi rst base-runner after contact. Tuesday’s complete-game shutout performance was Vecvanags’ second of the season.
“I just try not to over-throw and make my pitches too perfect, because I know I have my defense behind me,” Vecvanags said. “My arm is up for the challenge and I’m ready to carry this team as far as I can.”
The Illini would follow up Western Illinois’ fi rst hit of the contest with some more of their own in the following two innings.
After third baseman Annie
Fleming led off the bottom of the fourth with a walk, a two-out double shot down the third base line off Kylie Johnson’s bat brought in the Illini’s third run of the night.
In the fi fth inning, Jess Perkins and Fleming would record a run, hit and RBI all by themselves, bomb-ing a solo homerun to right and a two-run shot off the scoreboard, respectively. An errant throw by Leatherneck catcher Kelsey Marlow on a pickoff attempt at second base allowed designated run-ner Danielle Trezzo to score from third, giving Illinois a commanding 7-0 lead head-
ing into the sixth.The sixth inning would
prove to be the fi nal inning as well Tuesday, after Evans’ two-run homer, her 17th of the season, gave Illinois the fi nal run they needed for a 9-0 mercy-rule victory.
“It felt awesome to give these seniors a win in their final game here,” Evans said. “We’re coming togeth-er so well right now and everything is working like it should. We’re defi -nitely peaking at the right moment.”

ers Tuesday, Campbell a fi rst-teamer and Meyer a second-teamer.
But freshman Nick Hardy hadn’t had a moment to shine all season.
His fall was fairly success-ful: He had a 72.45 stroke average in four fall tourna-ments and fi nished in the top 20 in all four tournaments. His play in the fall was con-sistent for the Illini but in a team with three golfers that had previously been named
All-Americans, Hardy hard-ly stood out.
That was until last week-end, when the freshman fi nally had his fi rst signature moment of the year leading Illinois to a commanding 32-stroke team victory in the Big Ten Championships and tying for the conference tournament individual title.
Hardy said he believes this win coming during his freshman year is a sign he has room for success.
“It feels good to get my fi rst win as a freshman, and that I know I have a few years to win a few more,”
Hardy said. “It feels really good, I struggled a bit this spring, but it feels great to be in the winner’s circle this year.”
This win is not only Har-dy’s fi rst of the season, but his fi rst individual triumph as an Illini.
The win could not have come at a better time for Hardy, according to head coach Mike Small.
“It’s great for Nick to win the tournament after strug-gling last week at Purdue,” Small said. “He came here this week and took care of business. He played hard and
won, and that is a big plus for our program. It shows the resiliency that these kids have.”
Hardy’s win is also encour-aging for a team that is los-ing one of its key contribu-tors at the end of the season: Campbell, who has been an irreplaceable member of the team since 2011, has brought Illinois tournament wins and accolades like Big Ten Play-er of the Year awards and PING All-American honors.
Hardy will look to repli-cate this success by taking his lessons from this season and adding them to his game
over the offseason.“(I’ve had) a lot of ups and
downs, but that’s what you go through as a freshman,” Hardy said. “I’m going to try and apply that knowl-edge over the summer and try to be the best I can next season.”
Hardy fi nishes a season that any freshman golfer in the country would envy, ending with a bevy of awards to his name that put him in the same league as some of the nation’s top collegiate players.
Hardy came away with the Big Ten Freshman Golf-
er of the Year award and is the only freshman on the All-Big Ten team with Campbell, Danielson and Detry.
At the end of the day though, medals and honors can be lost on just a single shot.
“I love that it came down to the last shot,” Hardy said of his fi nal hole. “I love the competition and seeing what I’ve got coming down the stretch. It feels great to have a team championship, also. I can’t wait to go get anoth-er one.”

KAROLINA MARCZEWSKI THE DAILY ILLINIIllinois’ Jade Vecvanags throws a pitch during the softball game vs. Western Illinois at Eichelberger Field on Tuesday. Vecvanags pitched six shutout innings.
for Jared. Even when Jared was away
in Champaign for his fresh-man year, Aron was only a car ride away. Now, he was across the country. For brothers who had always been together, it was a new experience.
“I’ve always been with him,” Jared said. “That was really hard ... when I went home and he wasn’t there, that was a pretty diffi cult thing for me.”
***From infancy, Jared and
Aron have been different. “Jared was colicky, so he
just cried and cried. We have this swing, and we would put him in this swing and he would just yell,” Arlyn said. “Two years later, I have Aron and he’s in the swing nice, looking around and he’s calm. My husband goes, ‘I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be.’”
Those same tempera-ments are present today. Arlyn said that Jared has always been a worrywart. He’s always been organized, while Aron is lackadaisical. The contrast also extends to the tennis court.
“He’s more of a ‘free’ player. I’m more of an ana-lytical player that gets very focused,” Jared said. “He’s more fl ashy. I’m more solid.”
A central tenet of Danc-
er’s program is playing focused and purposeful points. Jared is a poster-child for Dancer’s approach. In junior tennis, Arlyn said that Jared could have a ter-rible attitude on the court. Now, he is always mental-ly locked in and strategic with his play. While Aron is more “free,” he’s working on becoming more of a focused player with the guidance of his brother and Dancer.
Aron attributed his com-posure at the Big Ten tour-nament to bringing more focus to the court. While earlier in the year, he said that he got distracted by the atmosphere, he’s improved at blocking it out.
“Jared was much more of a cerebral player before coming to college, but Aron was able to watch him for a number of years,” Dancer said. “We joked last year, he played a couple of “Jared Hiltzik” type matches and we thought that was a posi-tive thing.”
While Aron’s mental game is improving, Dancer wants to make sure that he still is able to stay true to his per-sonality while following his brother’s example.
“They both look up to each other about certain things,” Arlyn said.
While their personalities are opposites, both Jared and Aron hold themselves to extremely high standards.
“I’ve been able to push him hard. And he has people
around him that expect a lot from him, including myself,” Jared said. “Sometimes maybe I expect too great of things. I just push him even harder here.”
***Though Aron is growing,
Jared is still the big broth-er. At a tournament last summer, the two met in the fi nals. Arlyn said that Jared had maxed out on his tourna-ment payout, but since Aron was new, he could still win prize money. She was told the brothers agreed that Aron would win.
Jared went up 5-3 over Aron and reached match point before setting his rack-et down and walking to the net to shake his brother’s hand and concede the match.
“I could care less beating him and he could care less beating me ... it’s just push-ing each other to be our best,” Jared said. “It’s all about the end goal.”
The Big Ten champion-ship is not the end goal for the Hiltziks and their team-mates. They have national championship aspirations, and Sunday, surrounded by fans, teammates, and his brother, was just one of the fi rst big moments for Aron Hiltzik.
“No offense to that moment,” Dancer said, “But he’s got bigger moments in his mind.”

The best and most effective way of mea-suring the best col-
lege football conference is not by evaluating a confer-ence’s number of nation-al championships or bowl wins but by how many quality NFL players it produces.
If college football con-ferences were ranked by NFL players produced, then the Big Ten would invariably be in the con-versation for top confer-ence in the country.
From Tom Brady to Rus-sell Wilson to J.J. Watt, the Big Ten has certainly had a knack for producing big-time professional tal-ent. With the NFL Draft on Thursday in Chicago, we will soon find out who will be the next NFL play-maker from the Big Ten.
Melvin Gordon: Gordon, the top back in the Big Ten in 2014, is one of the most intriguing draft prospects among running backs. At Wisconsin, Gordon gave every defense he faced a migraine with his elite speed and agility in the open field.
His knack for exploit-ing gaps and embarrassing defenders attempting to tackle him once he hits the second level is an enviable trait for teams lacking a strong running back. It should be said that Gordon must improve as a inside runner, as a receiver out of the backfield and as a pass blocker. Still, his 40 yard dash time of 4.52, the best of any running back at the combine, is certain-ly hard to pass up.
Given his speed, don’t be surprised to see the Eagles swoop in and choose him in the first round. He has the poten-tial to fit perfectly into
a fast-paced Chip Kel-ly offensive system. The Cowboys and Ravens are two other possible landing spots for Gordon due to their lack of depth at run-ning back.
Trae Waynes: Like Gor-don, his high school team-mate, Waynes is equally known for his speed. He recorded the fastest 40 yard dash time of any cor-nerback at the draft com-bine and is arguably the best cornerback in the draft.
He was an extreme-ly well-rounded corner-back at Michigan State, who boasted the quick-ness to keep up with any elite receiver. Waynes also has a strong ability to break up passes and make tackles in the open field. Barring injury, whichev-er team drafts him in the first round will be set for years to come at the cor-nerback position.
Brandon Scherff: Offen-sive linemen may be the most boring, but most important, picks a team can make in the draft.
If NFL teams are look-ing to anchor their offen-sive line for the foresee-able future, then Scherff may be the smartest deci-sion. Scherff was selected as a first-team All–Big Ten selection and was awarded the Outland Trophy as the nation’s best interior line-man in his senior season at Iowa.
He boasts exception-al lateral movement and quickness, which gives him the ability to prevent rushers from hitting the edge. Another one of his strengths is his aptitude to generate a strong push against interior defensive lineman and to block in space. At 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, Scherff is a tena-cious run blocker who has the potential to anchor any right side of the offensive line for many years.
Teams with holes in their offensive line, espe-
cially the Bears, Giants and Jets, would be smart to consider Scherff at the tackle position. This may not be the sexiest pick for any team in the draft, but it has the least potential to be a bust.
Devin Smith: Smith is one of the more underrat-ed prospects of all the top wide receiver prospects at this year’s draft. Though he does not have the same
potential as Alabama’s Amari Cooper or West Vir-ginia’s Kevin White, Smith has enough upside to be a productive NFL receiver.
Last season, he emerged as one of the more danger-ous receivers in the Big Ten. His reputation as one of the best deep threats in all of college football was deserved — his produc-tion was a key cog in Ohio State’s national champion-
ship run. Smith accumulat-ed 931 receiving yards in 2014 along with 12 touch-down catches, though his most staggering statistic is his 28 yard per catch average.
His downfield speed makes him a threat to turn any short pass into a long gain. His biggest weakness is his ability to contend with physical corners that knock him off the line of
scrimmage. Smith is currently pro-
jected a second-round pick, and would fit comfortably on a team that lacks depth at wide receiver. Teams like the Bears, Eagles and Browns would be well advised to consider Smith in the second round.
