More than 180 years ago, back before the Iowa City skyline was ruled by tall city and campus buildings, the first set-tlers of European descent in Johnson County called log cabins home.

Today, two log cabins built in the late-1880s stand as a reminder of the area’s history, but they are in need of repair.

The Upper City Park cabins are un-der a three-phase system for total resto-ration, said Marlin R. Ingalls, archaeol-ogist and architectural historian at the Office of the State Archaeologist. The first phase will begins with the roofs, foundations, and walls, and then work-ers will addresse other elements, such as the cabin interiors, Ingalls said.

“[The cabins] are special because they are the last visible link to the pioneers who settled Johnson County,” Ingalls said.

After the two log cabins were added to the National Register of Historic Plac-es last year, Iowa City staff applied for a $50,000 Resource Enhancement and Protection grant to start restoration. The Iowa Department of Natural Re-

sources will review the grant this fall, allowing the project to begin this year if approved.

Originally built in 1889, with the relo-

Park’s cabins set for restoration

The new University of Iowa dormi-tory could be named the Mary Louise Petersen Residence Hall pending a vote by the state Board of Regents.

In addition, the new residential learning commons could be named after Theodore M. “Ted” Rehder.

The regents will vote on both the pro-posals at their April meeting.

Petersen graduated from the UI Col-lege of Education in 1951 with a bach-elor’s degree in science education. She was appointed to the regents in 1969.

Petersen served as the regent presi-dent from 1973 to 1981. She also served as a member of the UI Foundation Board of Directors from 1991 to 2006.

Redher was the first director of Dor-mitories and Dining at the University of Iowa, a position he held for 30 years until he retired in 1976.

He graduated from the UI in 1935 and was named associate director of the IMU.

During his time at the UI, the university added five new residence halls — Daum, Burge, Stanley, Rienow, and Slater.

A lounge in the Quad is currently after Redher, but with the impending demolition of the Quad, university of-ficials hope to continue memorializing his service to the university by naming the learning commons after him.

The new dorm will house 501 stu-dents and will include a student dining sports grill.

Officials expect it to be completed by May 2015.

City to hike feesBy Daniel seiDldaniel-seidl@uiowa.edu

Iowa City officials have taken a step toward increasing fees to main-tain services.

“Our infrastructure is starting to suffer, and we need some more in-come,” City Manager Tom Markus said.

The Iowa City City Council passed the first consideration on two ordi-nances increasing fees for city ser-vices on Tuesday. Both of the consid-erations passed on 7-0 votes.

The first ordinance would increase solid-waste collection fees by 40 cents per month, effective July 1. The cur-rent waste fee is $11.40 per month, and this is a 3.5 percent increase,

A popular diet plan may not have many health benefits or long-term results.

By aleKsanDra VujiCiCaleksandra-vujicic@uiowa.edu

Some Iowa City residents are squeezing their fruit so they can squeeze into their summer clothes.

The juicing diet — or juicing cleanse — replac-es eating whole fruits and vegetables by extract-ing the juice, and it can be used as a substitute for meals. A juicing cleanse can last as little as a few days or up to a couple weeks at a time. The juicing process has been touted as a way of detoxifying the body as well as helping shed a few pounds.

But Katherine Mellen, a Uni-versity of Iowa lectur-er in health and human physiol-ogy, said juic-ing has no documented health ben-efits.

“ J u i c i n g is pretty p o p u l a r , ” she said. “I always tell students you’re better off eating the pulp you throw away instead of drinking the juice you just made.”

Mellen said even though it may seem as if all the nutrients are being

fire engulfs iC warehouse

Firefighters from eight different departments responded to a warehouse fire at 2339 Heinz Road on Tuesday afternoon.

Officials said it is unclear what caused the fire.

The blaze broke out at around

3:30 p.m., and smoke was still com-ing out of the building at 5:30 p.m.

According to an Iowa City press release, the fire disrupted bus routes along the road and closed several stops including those at Heinz Road and Scott Boulevard.

The building is valued at

$868,310 and is owned by Francis and Nancy Schneider of San Carlos, Calif., according to the Johnson County Assessor’s Office.

Iowa City Fire Department officials said trucks from Iowa City, Coralville, Hills, Solon, West Branch, North Liberty, Riverside, and Lone Tree were called in to

respond to the fire.“I didn’t see much of anything,”

said witness Bonnie Harding. “Just everything going up in flames.”

She said she saw smoke billow-ing from one of the storage bays of the building before the building went up in flames.

Green tomatoes, the new spinachBy aBigail Meierabigail-meier@uiowa.edu

Maybe spinach wasn’t the only thing Popeye the Sailor should have eat-en — green tomatoes can strengthen muscles, too.

According a team of University of Iowa sci-entists, a compound found in green toma-toes can boost muscle strength and protect against muscle atrophy.

The group of research assistants led by Christo-pher Adams, UI associate professor of internal med-icine and molecular phys-iology and biophysics, discovered the compound tomatidine and its abili-ty to strengthen muscles within patients suffering from muscle atrophy.

“After we found tomati-dine, we tested its effects on cultured muscle cells from people, and we found that it caused human muscle cells to grow,” said Adams. “We then tested tomatidine in mice and found that it increases muscle mass, strength, and exercise capacity, and it prevents and treats muscle atrophy.”

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention, muscle atrophy is defined when

muscle wastes away be-cause of inactivity or a major injury or illness causing inactivity of legs or arms.

According to the CDC, people suffering from atrophy become weak, which could dramatical-ly influence their quality of life and possibly make them more prone to injury due to falls and fractures. Nearly 50 million Ameri-cans are affected annual-ly, and almost 30 million of those are over the age of 60 and are forced into nursing homes and rehab facilities.

Adams said research-ers also found that toma-tidine decreases fat, which is a beneficial side effect of muscle growth. However, Adams said while tomatidine can prevent muscle atrophy in mice, he is working to determine if the com-pound is safe and effec-tive in humans.

“Tomatidine appears to be safe in mice, but more studies are needed be-cause many things are un-safe when taken in high doses for a long time,” he said. “Thus, I don’t rec-ommend that people eat tomatidine until further studies definitively prove that it is safe.”

Adams said the study began with a search for small molecules whose effects on cellular gene expression are opposite to the gene expression changes that happen in people when they suffer from muscle atrophy.

Scott Ebert, a UI post-doctoral research schol-ar, used a system-based approach to identifying different compounds that correlated with gene expression.

“During graduate school, I and a couple of other students iden-tified new molecular pathways involved with skeletal muscle atro-phy,” Ebert said.

Michael Dyle, a UI graduate student in mo-lecular physiology and biophysics, said he has been working roughly 60 hours a week on research with Adams.

“It was a very valuable experience to understand-ing how the research ad-dresses issues that are im-portant to understanding human disease, and what we can do as researchers to eliminate some of those issues,” Dyle said.

Adams said Dyle has been a major help during the few years since the study began. Dyle has

been conducting experi-ments, planning and an-alyzing data, and feeding and administering com-pounds to mice.

“The most interest-ing thing about this research is that it is a natural compound that could potentially have a physical impact on hu-mans,” Dyle said.

Adams said the next step of research will be done through his bio-tech company which he recently started called Emmyon. He said fund-ing will be received from the National Institutes of Health, which will help expand techniques and research for preserving muscle mass for patients suffering from aging and muscle atrophy.

The company is also studying the effects of ursolic acid — a natu-ral chemical that can be used for new medicines targeting muscle atro-phy and obesity.

“We set up this com-pany to try to develop something for age related muscle atrophy, trying to develop a nutrition-al product to help these patients,” Adams said. “This new compound can lead to some tremendous new medicines.”

City moves on riverfront Crossing

City officials are moving ahead with a plan for the Riverfront Crossing District.

The City Council deferred first consideration of the Riverfront Cross-ings form-based code and decided to continue a public hearing concerning the code on a 7-0 vote on Tuesday.

The public hearing will be contin-ued at the council’s May 6 meeting.

The code contains various require-ments for the zone, including distance of buildings from the street, maximum and minimum number of stories,

required amount of frontage facing the road, and parking requirements.

Several goals will be achieved, including making parking consistent throughout the city, fostering development in Riverfront Crossings, and allowing fraternities and dormitories to be built in the district with special exceptions.

Council oks new uisg liaison

A new University of Iowa Student Government liaison will attend Iowa City City Council meetings.

The council approved the appoint-

ment of UI junior Evan McCarthy as the UISG student liaison with a 7-0 vote on Tuesday. McCarthy will replace the current liaison, Alec Bremer.

McCarthy will serve for the 2014-15 academic year.

City inks design contract for downtown

Iowa City is moving forward with downtown improvements.

The City Council approved a design contract with Genus Landscape Archi-tects for the downtown streetscape plan with a 7-0 vote on Tuesday.

The plan aims to improve down-

town. While the plan is mostly a guide for future decisions, it also includes several “quick-start” projects to be acted on in the coming year. These in-clude improvements to the Pedestrian Mall and Black Hawk Mini Park.

The contract with Genus, totaling $247,250, covers schematic design services for Washington Street (Clinton Street to Linn Street), Dubuque Street (Iowa Avenue to the Pedestrian Mall), the Pedestrian Mall, and Black Hawk Mini Park.

City staff members expect a second contract to be developed for detailed design of the Ped Mall and Black Hawk Mini Park projects.

which would total $4.80 increase over one year.

Councilor Jim Throg-morton said this increase is relatively small.

“I think the refuse in-creases are really trivial,” he said. “The water one is 5 percent for the next two years — that’s much more significant.”

The second ordinance would increase the fee for water use by 5 per-cent in fiscal 2015 and an additional 5 percent in fiscal 2016.

Both of these fees come as a result of a dispari-ty between expenditures

and income in these ar-eas. Mayor Matt Hayek said this is a relatively normal happening.

“Periodically, we look at our rates, whether it’s for refuse collection or water or otherwise, and adjust those rates,” he said. “They have to sus-tain themselves.”

The solid waste fee in-crease would generate an estimated $73,000 per year, leading to a project-ed $11,177 increase in the refuse collection fund in fiscal 2015 rather than a $61,823 decrease.

The water fee increase would generate an esti-mated $408,392 in fis-cal 2015 and $428,812 in fiscal 2016. While this isn’t projected to lead to

an increase in the water fund, it will slow the pace of decline. Over the past four years, the fund has decreased approximately 52.9 percent.

Markus said this sig-nificant decrease is be-cause the council did not act in the past.

“We had originally proposed five years ago some rate increases,” he said. “Those did not get implemented.”

Hayek said he cannot remember why the coun-cil didn’t approve the in-crease five years ago, but it was probably due to a lack of urgency.

“At the time there must have been a sense that we didn’t have to,” he said. “We are at a point where

we now have to.”While there is some

necessity, Hayek said the council is always careful with fee increases be-cause the hikes can make the city a less attractive place to live.

“We take any tax in-crease or fee increase se-riously,” he said. “Cities compete for businesses and residents on various

levels including the level of taxation.”

However, he noted, these increases are need-ed to maintain a good in-frastructure.

“At the same time, we know that operating a high-quality water plant … and the like make us a more attractive commu-nity,” he said. “We’ll have more money to repair

more pipes and do the things it takes to operate.”

Throgmorton said he is concerned about the effect the water fee increase will have on people.

“I understand the staff ’s rationale, but it could be a significant cost for ordinary consum-ers,” he said. “They need to know that the fee in-crease is coming.”

cation of replica log build-ings to City Park in 1918, the cabins were the center-piece for annual patriotic celebrations and summer picnics for the Old Set-tlers’ Association of John-son County until its end in 1939, according to the Na-tional Park Service.

Program supervisor of the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department Joyce Carroll said the cab-ins are examples of com-memorative efforts by the Old Settlers’ Association to celebrate and reflect on its pioneer heritage.

“The citizens of Iowa City deserve to have a visi-ble link to those who came before them and a way to connect to the communi-ty’s history,” Carroll said.

“I have always felt the cab-ins most desirable quality is their ability to educate.”

Director of the Johnson County Historical Society Alexandra Drehman said the numbers of groups, or-ganizations, and commu-nity numbers that would benefit from this resto-ration are huge.

Drehman said the cab-ins will provide the safe, fun atmosphere they once had while showcas-

ing how preserving and interpreting our history is an integral part of our community.

“I think it’s important for people to know where they came from and how people lived in the past,” said Ralph Christian, his-torian of the State Histori-cal Society of Iowa.

Christian said the build-ings need “some help” to survive another century. The cabins are a reflection

of maintaining local his-tory and provide the city with various educational programs, he said.

Other than the use of cabins for the Old Settlers’ Association events and meetings, the cabins were used for a pioneer muse-um, class field trips, Girl Scout cookouts and over-night trips, summer histo-ry camps, and Iowa City’s first Children’s Museum.

Carroll said the city

Parks and Recreation De-partment hopes to allow public use of the cabins for educational programs, folk arts programs, natural- science programs, and the future return of summer history camps for children.

“[The restoration] is a fantastic example of the importance of local histo-ry,” Drehman said. “And saving it for our future generations to experience and enjoy.”

squeezed out of the fruit or vegetable, a lot is be-ing left behind.

“Anytime that you juice a fruit or vege-table, you also remove some very beneficial components of it that are found in the fibrous parts of the plant,” Mel-len said. “So when you remove those, you are left with just the juice. You have far fewer ben-efits than if you actual-ly ate the whole fruit or vegetable.”

UI sophomore Lizzy Wagner tried a three-day juice cleanse in which she only consumed six juices a day, with fla-vors ranging from beets

to spinach to lemon. In-stead of juicing the fruit, she ordered juices from a company called Blue-Print Cleanse.

A three-day cleanse with BluePrint Cleanse costs up to $195.

Wagner said she want-ed to try the cleanse in or-der to detox-ify her body and to feel healthier.

“ D u r i n g my juice di-et, I felt re-ally healthy because I knew every-thing I was putting into my body was very natural and good for me,” she said. “I lost a couple pounds but quickly gained them back after the cleanse was over. Overall, it

made me feel energized, healthy, and refreshed.”

Local dietitian Cathy Gehris said some peo-ple who may not be ac-customed to eating lots of fruits and vegetables add this process to their normal diet to bring in more nutrients. As far

as a cleansing effect, she said, there are certain vegetables that have been shown to help de-toxify the kidneys and liver, but it’s a matter of choosing the right ones.

Gehris echoed Mellen and said juicing doesn’t give an individual 100 per-cent of the benefits they could get by simply eating the fruit or vegetable.

“I’d rather encourage a person to do smooth-ies because then the whole fruit or vegetable

is in there,” G e h r i s said. “It’s dr inkab le , yet it’s all there, and it’s a whole lot less ex-pensive.”

According to a 2012

U.S. Specialized Industry Report from IBIS World, less than 3 percent of the juice and smoothie bars industry is established in Iowa. California is leading the country with

more than 20 percent of the juice and smoothie bar industry.

The negative effects of a low calorie diet, such as this one, include feel-ing hungry, moody, and unable to concentrate, Mellen said.

Wagner seemed to show similar side effects when she tried the cleanse.

“One huge downside is obviously the hun-ger,” she said. “It’s really hard to only drink liq-uids for three days, and I had a headache two of the days from not eat-ing,” Wagner said.

Both Gehris and Mel-len said that adopting a “quick fix” diet plan isn’t the best way to get last-ing results.

“Whenever it’s some-thing that’s only for a short period of time,

like two or three days, it’s not a way of eating or a lifestyle that can be sustained,” Gehris said. “The best thing to do is to have an eating lifestyle that is easy for you to sustain and be healthy for you at the same time.”

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Oscar Pistorius wasn’t supposed to be a killer; he was supposed to be a runner, a role model, an inspiration.

To most, Pistorius was an Olympic and Paralympic track star from South Africa. He was the double-amputee that proved anything is possible. He was “Blade Runner, the fastest man on no legs.”

That all changed, however, on the morning of Feb. 14, 2013, when Pistorius shot and killed his then-girlfriend, South African model Reeva Steenkamp.

More than a year re-moved from the incident, Pistorius has spent that past few weeks in a South African courtroom, reliv-ing that morning over and over during his trial.

Throughout the cross-examination, Pis-

torius’ audible sobbing makes even the most apathetic of listeners see themselves in the courtroom, experiencing his emotional response to the prosecutor’s diffi-cult questions.

Numerous times, Pistorius has broken down as he describes the details of that morning and the months that followed. Pistorius contends that when he fired his gun through the bathroom door, he believed the individual on the other side not to be his girlfriend but a dangerous intruder.

As the world watches the trial unfold and finds bits of information that have trickled through the cracks by media coverage, they are quick to form (and offer) opinions on the track star turned slayer.

Pistorius’ case is unique in that it receives much more coverage than other high-profile individuals’ homicide trials because not only is Pistorius of sizable fame, but his reputation arises from athletic prow-ess, a fact that gives a sec-ond army of media outlets — ESPN and other sports networks — an excuse to cover the trial extensively.

Perhaps it is this wide-spread coverage that has garnered an excess of preconceived notions around the country. We seem to have developed an extreme confidence in our collective opinion that Pistorius is a liar who killed Steenkamp, not mistaking her for an intruder, but in cold blood.

It is this widespread certainty among the American public (well outside the country in which the crime was com-mitted and is being tried, no less) that sickens me.

This type of hair-trig-ger mass condemnation, unfortunately, is a famil-iar phenomenon.

This same collective certainty was also pres-ent before, during, and even after the trial of George Zimmerman. Con-fident that they knew the entire story, Americans were quick to throw away the concept of “innocent until proven guilty” and subsequently undermine the legal system in the United States (and, now, South Africa).

After the Zimmerman case, I found myself questioning people that remained steadfast in

their belief that Zimmer-man was guilty of a hate crime, just as I will con-tinue to question those that claim Pistorius’ guilt prior to the verdict of the trial.

In the United States, 12 people make the decision as to whether an individual is guilty — not the entirety of the American public. These 12 people are the most well-prepared citizens to deliver their verdict when the time arrives. They are more informed, more aware of the physical and emotional states of those involved and more educated on what happened in the courtroom and during the incident than any person other than those involved in the crime.

While the South African judicial system relies on the verdict of a single judge, rather than a jury of Pistorius’ peers, the idea holds true. It is true, that these cases are often predictable, but on the off chance that our preconceived notions provide us with false conclusions, let’s avoid turning “innocent until proven guilty” upside down.

The presumption of guilt

COLUMN

There was some turbulence on Twitter last weekend.

A 14-year-old girl from Netherlands set off alarms when she tweet-ed to American Airlines, “hello my name’s Ibra-him and I’m from Af-ghanistan. I’m part of Al Qaeda and on June 1st I’m gonna do something really big bye.”

American Airlines re-sponded saying, “Sarah, we take these threats very seriously. Your IP address and details will be forwarded to security and the FBI.”

She probably didn’t expect such a response, because soon after, she frantically started tweeting mostly apolo-getic things.

One of her first replies was, “I’m so sorry I’m scared now” (LOL. I would be too. But then again, I wouldn’t tweet something so stupid).

She also tried to blame someone else, tweeting, “I was joking and it was my friend not me, take her IP address not mine.”

And finally, when nothing else had worked, she hoped that good old racial profiling would save her.

“I’m just a fangirl pls I don’t have evil thoughts and plus I’m a white girl.”

Unfortunately for her, American Airlines was not dissuaded by her pleas and reported her name and IP address to author-ities, leading to her arrest in Rotterdam.

Many people are say-ing that American Air-lines overreacted to the girl’s tweets. Some teens are even tweeting out against, making bomb threats and asking the airline if they’re going to be arrested as well.

One tweet from @non-

freak reads, “release her or I’ll bomb your HQ. you gonna arrest me now?”

Attempts to play down the severity of the girl’s actions, however, are ridiculous. A threat is a threat — no matter who it comes from, and I’m very glad to see that American Airlines took the matter seriously. Not only does it make me feel safer as a customer of the airline, but it also shows some progress in the issue of racial profiling when it comes to national security.

I remember traveling to and from the United States with my mom when I was younger. Airport security, or whoever they were, would always tell my mom to step aside and then ask me if I know who she was. As I got older, I became the one they told to step aside for “random” screening.

I thought it was simply a part of routine secu-rity checks. Later on, I realized that it was in fact about national security, but a lot more of it had to do with racial profiling.

People of color, espe-cially people of Southeast Asian backgrounds, are more than often labeled as potential threats.

It’s hard, of course, to know what a potential threat really looks like and that is why anyone who makes an open threat or claims to be a member of a terror-ist group — regardless of their age, race, or national origin — is probably not someone you want to overlook.

There have been gruesome attacks on the nation and around the world that we can’t afford to let happen again, and there’s no telling who is capable of doing what. That’s exactly why Ameri-can Airlines reacted the way it did to that dumb teenager’s tweet. It doesn’t matter that she wasn’t Afghani or part of Al Qaeda.

Anyone who claims to be a terrorist should be treated like one. The risk of her threat being true is too high.

GOP scion Paul Ryan paid a visit to Iowa over the weekend to preach party uni-ty, just a day after the House passed his

most recent budget with the support of all but 10 of his fellow Republicans.

The Ryan budget, passed last week in the House, but without any real prospect of becoming law, would cut the federal Pell Grant program — a need-based financial-aid program that provides grants that don’t have to be paid back — by $125 billion over 10 years.

While we understand that the cuts proposed in Ryan’s plan will not be realized — the budget will never see the light of day in the Senate — they re-flect the misplaced priorities of Rep. Ryan, R-Wis., the self-styled very-serious policy wonk of the Re-publican party, and his many acolytes. Under his direction, the party has rallied behind regressive spending cuts that would harm the nation’s low- and middle-income students, 24.8 million of whom received Pell Grants during the 2012-13 school year.

Ryan’s plan would effectively cut federal grant aid for higher education by freezing the cash-val-ue of Pell Grants at their current level for the next 10 years. The real value of Pell Grants has fallen in recent decades as tuition costs have risen — in 1972, the maximum-value grant covered 72 per-cent of average tuition costs, but today the maxi-mum grant of $5,730 covers only about a third of those average costs. A decade long freeze would al-low the value of these grants to be eroded by infla-tion and rising college costs, further diminishing the program’s ability to provide tuition support for low-income students.

According to a report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the real value of these grants would fall by 24 percent by 2024 under this plan, and some formerly eligible middle-income students would lose their grants entirely.

Much of Ryan’s reasoning for these cuts is built on the dubious idea that federal grant money is actually causing tuition costs to rise.

“I think we have to look at the fact that we are feeding tuition inflation,” Ryan told The Daily Io-wan. “There’s a lot of good work that has been done, Richard Vedder’s studies, lot of these studies are showing that the federal government is in many ways feeding high tuition inflation, and we need to go at the root cause of that as well.”

But even a cursory look at the pressures forcing tu-

ition costs upward gives lie to Ryan’s argument. Cer-tainly, these forces are complex, but in Iowa particu-larly, most of the public-university tuition hikes over the last decade have been enacted in order to replace falling public funding for higher education. Ryan’s plan amounts to an effort to fight a problem born of falling public investment in higher education by fur-ther reducing public investment in higher education.

Ryan’s budget proposal demonstrates more than mere disregard for low-income students, howev-er. The budget includes deep cuts to Pell Grants while leaving Social Security untouched and ac-tually increasing defense spending. No reasonable fiscal plan could seek to balance the budget by sacrificing important investment in higher edu-cation while propping up the bloated institutions perpetuating U.S. deficit spending.

The plain truth is that Ryan’s budget seeks to ap-pease core Republican constituencies — older Amer-icans and corporate interests, most notably — by fo-cusing his draconian cuts on groups with relatively low political power. The Ryan budget doesn’t repre-sent a bold new vision for American fiscal policy; it’s merely a regressive attempt to balance the budget on the back of low-income students, Medicaid bene-ficiaries, and food-stamp recipients.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORWhy cutting foreign language in schools is a mistake

Lilly Brown says that “German is beneficial [because] it helps students learn proper English grammar …”

I learned English grammar in ninth-grade English class. When my bilingual son attended City High, I was informed by his English teacher that they don’t teach grammar anymore. My son’s Ger-man teacher explained that he had

to teach the students grammar before they could grasp German. I agree with Lilly that “these changes in our foreign-language programs are not acceptable,” but I also believe that learning a foreign language could be more effective if our children learned the struc-ture of their native language along the way. I am not current on trends in the philosophy of education, but the curriculum changes in the Iowa City School District seem misguided to me.

Getting better on sexual misconduct

With the recent expulsion of a student from the UI for sexual assault and the increasing number of sexual-misconduct reports on campus, it is important members of the university community re-member things are getting better, not worse.

From RAINN, 60 percent of sexual assaults are not reported. Having an increase in numbers is not always a bad thing. Instead,

it shows students on campus are becoming more comfortable with reporting than generations past. Just because one college records a smaller number of sexual assaults does not mean its campus is safer.

In fact, it could instead show the culture on that particular campus is so entrenched in victim-blaming few are willing to come forward. Though we still have a long way to go, it is im-portant to not forget the positive strides we have taken.

UIHC seeks rate increase

The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Board of Trustees has requested a 6 percent rate increase effec-tive July 1.

The state Board of Regents will vote on the request next week.

Competitive rates with respect to other university health systems and the limits on charge increase in contracts are the determining factors in rate increase.

The UIHC system charges are in 30th percentile of Universi-ty Health System Consortium, relatively low compared with members of the consortium.

The consortium includes 120 academic institutions and 302 affiliated hospitals.

There are also contract stipula-tions that limit annual increase to no more than six percent.

UI seeks capital improvementsUI officials would like the re-

gents to authorize a list of cap-ital improvements.

If approved, the proposals authorize the UI to proceed with planning for the Power Plant air-regulation-compli-ance project. The estimated cost is $9 million.

The project will update the plant to meet the new federal emissions requirements for the steam gener-ating boilers at the Power Plant. The regulations require compli-ance by January 2016.

The UI Hospitals and Clinics is asking for approval of the de-sign and budget for the pediatric cardiac catheterization reloca-

tion and expansion, as well as the level five and six Pappajohn Pavilion Connector to the UI Children’s Hospital.

In addition to those updates, the university is requesting ap-proval for the design and bud-get for the UIHC Centralized Emergency Power Generation Facility Project.

This would provide an emer-gency power service to the main UIHC campus.

Officials expect these proj-ects to cost approximately $34.3 million.

The university is also seeking approval for upgrades to the Oakdale Chilled Water Plant. The upgrades would improve reliability of chilled water at the UI research campus by ex-tending chilled water lines; of-ficials expect the project to cost approximately $5.6 million.

UI wants to purchase pediatri-cian practices

UI officials are requesting re-gent approval to purchase three pediatrician-practice buildings.

The buildings and their adja-cent parking lots, 605 E. Jeffer-son St. and 2591 Holiday Road, Coralville, are sites for Pediat-ric Associates of Iowa City and Coralville.

UI Health Care will pur-chase the clinical practices to develop the pediatric health delivery system, allowing UI Health Care to further develop the system in the area.

The physicians would con-tinue to work at their locations under the name of Pediatric Associates of UI Children’s

Hospital. Officials expect the purchase

of both the buildings and their adjacent parking lots to be a to-tal of $4.11 million.

Regents to select new leadersThe regents will elect a new

president next week. The regent president and

president pro tem will start their terms on May 1 and will serve for two years, according to Iowa Administrative Rules.

Regent President Bruce Ras-tetter’s and President Pro Tem

Katie Mullholland’s terms will expire on April 30.

UI wants early bond refundThe UI is asking the regents

to consider allowing the refund of an estimated $8.3 million in bonds that were used to pur-chase space in the about $13.5 million Old Capitol Town Cen-ter in 2005.

If approved, the request would be an early refund of the bonds. The proceeds of the bonds would be invested in U.S. Treasury Obligations or other

permitted investments. Interest rates on refunding

the bonds are anticipated to be lower, therefore refunding the bonds early would result in an estimated saving of $374,000.

These bonds are due to be re-funded June 1, 2015.

The UI will do the same for the $10.96 million IMU bonds, refunding an estimated $7.495 million in bonds. Interest rates for the bond are also anticipat-ed to be lower, which would re-sult in savings of $305,000.

By Brent Griffithsbrent-griffiths@uiowa.edu

Dramatic cuts to federal student aid pro-grams are included in House Budget Com-mittee Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget which passed the Republican-controlled U.S. House last week — a decision he argues is focused on the long term.

A visit to Iowa’s GOP Lincoln Dinner on April 11 marked the

second stop in Iowa for the former vice-presidential candidate since the conclusion of the 2012 election. Under his proposal, the maximum Pell Grant award would be frozen at $5,730 for a decade, and the fund-ing of the overall program would be at Congress’ discretion. Currently, funding is mandated each year. The goal of Ryan’s proposal is to balance the federal budget by 2024 through $5 trillion in spending cuts.

Ryan’s budget passed the House 219-205 votes just one day before his visit to the home of the first-in-the-nation caucuses.

Ryan said these student-aid cuts are different than the approach taken in President Obama’s budget, which the Janesville, Wis., native characterizes as being full of “emp-ty promises.” Ryan recognizes his budget will not even be considered by Democrats who control the U.S. Senate, but argues it avoids a “cliff” in funding.

Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, joined all of his Demo-cratic colleagues in voting against the bill. He said freez-ing the maximum grant would erode a Pell Grant’s ability to help ease college costs.

“As a former educator, I am committed to ensuring that college is accessible to all who wish to pursue further education, and this proposal would accomplish exactly the opposite,” he said in a statement.

More than 4,000 University of Iowa students, or 20 percent of undergraduates, received a Pell Grant in the 2012-13 academic year. These cuts would rest on their shoulders, said Mark Warner, the UI assistant provost for Student Financial Aid.

“It’s detrimental to students with the highest need,” he said. “[The budget] is a signal in the near and long-

term that there is less support for education at the federal level.”

Freshman Waale Gbara said she would be unable to attend the UI without the scholarships and grants she received this year. She said cutting Pell Grants “defeats the purpose to break the cy-cle” of helping students with financial need afford college.

Warner looks at financial aid as a four-pronged part-nership made up of federal, state, university, and private sources. He said it’s no secret that state funding is far less than it used to be, which puts further pressure on the whole system.

Mark Kantrowitz, the publisher of the FinAid and Fastweb websites, said at first the cuts to part-time stu-dents outlined in Ryan’s budget seem helpful, but the savings are not redirected to other students. Kantrowitz says it’s a pure spending cut to a program that is really beneficial to students who need assistance.

“It’s telling low-income students, college isn’t really possible,” he said. “…America is no longer the country of equal opportunity, because increasingly college is be-coming something only the wealthy can afford.”

Kantrowitz said at a time when the U.S. economy is still struggling, the government is failing to make the easiest investment.

“We’re failing to invest in our greatest asset, which is our people,” he said.

Ryan told The Daily Iowan his proposal is strik-ing at an unaddressed issue in the landscape of college affordability, which is how the federal gov-ernment’s efforts to make college more affordable actually pushes the price up.

“There’s a lot of good work that has been done – [for instance] Richard Vedder’s studies — a lot of these stud-ies are showing that the federal government is in many ways feeding high tuition inflation,” he said.

Researchers who study this specific topic say Ryan is overstating his argument. While some studies show aspects of inflation it is difficult to tie the increase di-rectly to Pell Grants.

“In general, it is difficult to disentangle trends in tuition from other economic trends and say for sure these are caused by Pell Grant increases,” said Lesley Turner, an assistant professor in economics at the Uni-versity of Maryland.

Turner’s research focused on the cost of tuition for

specific students, not the so-called “sticker price.” She found public universities offer less aid to students with Pell Grants, but it’s a low amount — only about 15 cents less one every dollar.

Larry Singell, executive dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences at Indiana University, said Ryan’s opin-ion is “not an accurate assessment of reality.”

Singell, who has also published research on the sub-ject, said the current scope of research does not support such a definite opinion.

“To me this is an academic exercise, [Ryan] is trying to ascribe motive, which is an unfair way to characterize a university,” he said.

Event focuses on women in politicsBy JordYn reilandjordyn-reiland@uiowa.edu

While voters in Iowa have a chance to send its first woman to Washing-ton this November, officials from the state and Iowa City community will meet this weekend to discuss the on-going issue of electing more women into political office.

The symposium — presented by the Public Policy Center in part-nership with the Iowa Women’s Archive — will be held in the Old Capitol Museum Senate Cham-bers all-day this Friday, and will feature keynote speaker Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.

A record number of six women are running for Congress this election, including Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Red Oak; Marianette Miller-Meeks, for-mer director of the state Depart-

ment of Public Health; and former state senator Staci Appel.

Former Rep. and Sen. Jean Lloyd-Jones, D-Iowa City, is the co-head of the 50-50 in 2020 Program, a bipar-tisan initiative to achieve political eq-uity electing females to fill 50 percent of the Iowa Legislature.

She said the fact that guests from outside of the state are going to be in attendance is critical to accomplish-ing the goals of strengthening the number of women in political office.

“We’re not operating in a vacuum here,” she said. “We may feel like we’re the only people pushing for it, but in the last four years we’ve seen a real growth in getting the number of women in public office up.”

Friday’s events include an exam-ination of why women do or don’t run for political office, how they govern if elected, and the documentation of the

history of women in politics.UI Public Policy Center Director

Peter Damiano said this is not the first event of its kind. Three years ago, the UI held an event on politi-cal discourse with a panel on wom-en in politics.

Lloyd-Jones said these types of large events bring awareness to the issue.

Kären Mason, the curator for Iowa Women’s Archives at the Main Library, said events such as this one are important to the campus for a number of reasons.

“Having these events on cam-pus is great for the students that are here because it gives them the chance to meet people in the field of political science and history,” she said. “I hope that it gives some stu-dents a chance to get involved in poli-tics and maybe run for office.”

Boston Strong, 1 year later after bombing

By DENISE LAVOIEAssociated Press

BOSTON — Survi-vors, first responders, and relatives of those killed in the Boston Mar-athon bombing marked the anniversary Tuesday with tributes that com-bined sor-row over the loss of inno-cent victims with pride over the city’s resil-ience in the face of a terror attack.

“This day will always be hard, but this place will always be strong,” former Mayor Thomas Menino told an invita-tion-only audience of about 2,500 people at the Hynes Convention Cen-ter, not far from the fin-ish line where three peo-ple died and more than 260 others were injured a year ago.

Vice President Joe Biden, who attended the ceremony, said the cour-age shown by survivors and those who lost loved ones is an inspiration for other Americans dealing with loss and tragedy.

“You have become the face of America’s re-solve,” he said.

Biden also praised the 36,000 runners who plan to run the mara-thon next week, saying they will send a mes-sage to terrorists.

“America will never, ever, ever stand down,” he said, to loud applause. He added, “We own the finish line.”

In the evening, after the tributes were over and most people had left, police evacuated the area around the finish line to investigate two unattended backpacks and took a man into custody. They said the bomb squad detonated the backpacks as a pre-caution, but there was no immediate word on what was in them.

In Washington, Presi-dent Barack Obama ob-served the anniversary of last year’s deadly mar-athon attack with a pri-vate moment of silence at the White House.

“Today, we recognize the incredible courage and leadership of so many Bostonians in the wake of unspeakable tragedy,” Obama said in a statement. “And we of-fer our deepest gratitude to the courageous fire-fighters, police officers, medical professionals, runners and spectators who, in an instant, dis-played the spirit Boston was built on — persever-ance, freedom and love.”

Obama said this year’s race, scheduled for April 21, will “show the world the meaning of Boston Strong as a city chooses to run again.”

Authorities contend that two ethnic Chechen brothers who lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the Dagestan region of Rus-

sia planned and orches-trated the attack with two bombs in backpacks near the marathon finish line on April 15, 2013.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died following a shootout with police days after the bombings. Dz-hokhar Tsarnaev, 20,

has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and is awaiting a trial in which he faces a possible death sentence. Prosecutors say the brothers also killed MIT police Officer Sean Collier days after the bombings in an at-tempt to steal his gun.

Prosecutors have said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a hand-scrawled confes-sion condemning U.S. actions in Muslim coun-tries on the inside wall of a boat in which he was found hiding following the police shootout.

At the tribute, several survivors of the bomb-ing alluded to their in-juries but focused on the strength they’ve drawn from fellow survivors, first responders, doc-tors, nurses, and strang-ers who have offered them support.

“We should never have met this way, but we are so grateful for each other,” said Patrick Downes, a newlywed who was injured along with his wife. Each lost a left leg below the knee in the bombings.

Downes described Boston Strong, the slo-gan coined after the attack, as a movement that symbolizes the city’s determination to recover. He called the people who died “our guardian angels.”

“We will carry them in our hearts,” he said.

Downes said the city on April 21 will “show the world what Boston rep-resents.” He added, “For our guardian angels, let them hear us roar.”

Adrianne Haslet-Da-vis, a ballroom dancer who lost her left leg be-low the knee and has recently returned to per-forming on a prosthetic leg, said she’s learned over the last year that no milestone is too small to celebrate, including walking into a non-hand-icapped bathroom stall for the first time and “do-ing a happy dance.”

Gov. Deval Patrick spoke of how the attack has drawn people closer.

“There are no strang-ers here,” he repeated throughout his speech.

Carlos Arredondo, the cowboy hat-wear-ing spectator who was hailed as a hero for help-ing the wounded after the bombings, said he went to the tribute cer-emony to support survi-vors and their families.

“You can see how the

whole community gath-ered together to support them and remember,” Arredondo said.

After the tributes, ma-ny of those in attendance walked in the rain to the finish line for a moment of silence that coincid-ed with the time when

the bombs went off. Bells rang, and a flag was raised by transit agency police Officer Rich-

ard Donohue, who was badly injured during a shootout with the bomb-ing suspects.

Earlier in the day, a wreath-laying ceremony drew the families of the three people killed last year — Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, and Lu Lingzi — and Col-lier’s relatives.

Solemn tributes mark Boston Marathon bombing anniversary.

Which team is the favorite for the Stanley Cup?point/counterpoint

Boston BruinsWhen you get right down

to it, there is simply not a more complete team in the Stanley Cup playoffs than the Boston Bruins.

A Vezina-caliber goalten-der? Check.

A Norris-caliber defense-man who also just so hap-pens to be the most physi-cally dominant blue-liner in the league? Check.

The best two-way forward in the game and incredible scoring depth on all four lines? Check and check.

A Bruins team that came within two wins of the Cup last season retooled in the off-season, and despite some key departures, came back even stronger to win the President’s Trophy for most points by a team this season.

Not to mention that they have 13 guys leftover from the team that did win a Cup against Vancouver in 2011. This team knows how to win, and it can do it in a number of ways.

First and foremost, Bos-ton has the ability to run four lines that can all beat you up physically as well as make you pay on the scoreboard.

While Jarome Iginla and Patrice Bergeron are the B’s only 30-goal scorers, they have five who have scored at least 20, second to only Phil-adelphia, which has six.

In net, Tuukka Rask fin-ished first in shutouts with 7. He also finished in the top five in wins (36), save percentage (.930), and goals-against average (2.04).

Not to mention that a showdown with the Bru-ins means having to go up against defenseman Zdeno Chara, all 6-9 of him.

— Ryan Rodriguez

Detroit red WingsI’m going on a limb and

taking Detroit. First, be-cause Ryan gave me grief for taking Canada back when we previewed the Olympics — “shooting fish in a barrel” was the verbiage he used, if you were wondering.

Second, because I’ve ac-tually persuaded myself I’m right. Detroit is one of those teams that’s always around; in some periods of the last 23 years, the Red Wings have been in the playoffs, they’ve been favorites. But in some — including this season — they’re a team just lying in the weeds ready to cause a lot of trouble.

The key is getting through Boston, a physical

team less than a year re-moved from a Stanley Cup run. In short, the Bruins are a very good team also capa-ble of doing a ton of damage, but that won’t be enough in this opening series.

The Wings are very fast and capable of stretching the ice. That was the B’s downfall last season in the Stanley Cup Finals, and that’s been a large reason for the Wings’ 3-1 record against Boston. Oh, by the way, they’re the only team to beat the Bruins thrice this season.

I could be dead wrong; Henrik Zetterberg’s ab-sence (it’s very unlikely he’ll play in the first round) could be too much for the Red Wings to overcome. But Mike Babcock — arguably the best coach in the league — has found a way to get his young guys to play in-spired hockey and close out the season with nine wins in 15 contests.

Ryan might be in my head, but like I said, I’ve persuade myself I’m right here. If the Wings play speedy hockey and keep getting production from young guns, I see a first-round exit from Boston, a second-round return from Zetterberg, octopi on the ice, and a Stanley Cup back to Detroit.

chicago BlackhawksFor all my other hockey

fanatics out there, the next two months are what we look forward to all year. It also helps when your team is favored and has proved that it has what it takes to win. The playoffs are back, and there’s a potential for another original six Stan-ley Cup final this year.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the Blackhawks will be one of them and that they’ll take the cup. It’s been 16 years since the Red Wings won back-to-back titles, in ’97-98. It always amazes me how my uncles up in Michigan fit their boys back in the day under Scotty Bowman into conversation when the playoffs roll around. This year, the tides will change, and I’ll finally be able to brag about how I witnessed the Blackhawks dynasty take the throne three times in five years.

The Hawks have youth, speed, chemistry, and for the most part, their health. With Kane and Toews expected to be

back in the lineup after their absence with inju-ries, I see no reason they can’t carry the Windy City Hawks all the way.

Chicago’s biggest downfall will be if it loses anyone in its thin line-up, but as of right now, it looks that the team will be strong. With the new playoff system in place, the Blackhawks will face teams that they are famil-iar with, too. They know how these teams perform, and there shouldn’t be any surprises, just some great hockey.

Whether it’s the league’s best playoff beards, Kan-er’s mullet, or my lucky playoff jersey, there is no reason to think that the Chicago’s best cannot capture that Stanley Cup magic one more time.

available at that juncture to sign him.

Wilson was put on the back burner for a while, but when money was eventually found, assis-tant coach Joey Woody dug out his information and got in contact with him.

“It was kind of late in the year, but I found out he was still available, so I flew down there and met with him, and he ended up committing the next week without even tak-ing a visit,” Woody said. “He really seemed to trust in what we were do-ing here at Iowa.”

On the flip side, Wil-son had the upmost faith in Woody and cited him and how he coached

as the reason he came to Iowa.

Once on campus, the bond between him and the team was almost im-mediate. But it wasn’t un-til Wilson crossed paths with senior captain Tevin Cee-Mincy that he really began to flourish.

“Tevin is the guy I look up to on the team; he pushes me a lot,” Wilson said. “Outside of track, he wants everybody to hang out, texts me wants to go eat — he’s a team-orien-tated kind of guy.”

That Wilson had the physical tools to com-pete in so many different events has impressed Mincy and has led to a high level of respect be-tween the two.

“He’s a helluva athlete, and with that talent, he can go far,” Mincy said. “He comes here and works hard, but he also knows

when to have a bit of fun, and that’s the great thing about him — he knows when to be serious and when to be fun.”

As the track season goes into its last cou-ple meets of the season, some of Wilson’s intangi-bles have also surfaced. Both his durability and the rapid improvement of his techniques has earned the trust of his entire team.

This is exactly why the coaches aren’t afraid to allow him to participate in quite a few different events. However, there is always the worry that they might be putting too much on his plate.

As for Wilson’s current thoughts? He’s more wor-ried about the weather.

“I didn’t expect it to be this cold … no one told me it was going to be this cold.”

Knowing the run rule

By Jack RossiJack-rossi@uiowa.edu

Iowa softball’s series finale against Nebraska ended after five innings last weekend. An 18-0 hole forced the umpires to call the game early.

A lesser-known rule in college sports, the mercy rule or run rule as it has been more commonly re-ferred to, has been around for a long time with the idea of keeping younger players from becoming too discouraged.

The run rule is a rare occurrence for sports past high school because of in-creased skill level of the athletes, but the players are used to the rule, hav-ing played with it their whole career.

“I’ve played with it my whole life,” Hawkeye Erin Erickson said. “It’s really just a standard rule that if a team scores 8 runs af-ter five innings, then the game is discontinued.”

The Hawkeyes have become a little too fa-miliar with the rule this year. Iowa has been involved in seven run-rule decisions so far in 33 games and are 2-5 in those contests, including two games last weekend against Nebraska.

“It doesn’t feel good, but you just have to bounce back from it and work harder,” said out-fielder Brianna Luna. “You have to pick your-self back up and get after it the next game.”

The rule was first adopted by the Inter-national Softball Feder-ation, but the thought

of erasing the rule all together in softball has been mentioned.

“In the rules commit-tee, we’ve talked about eliminating it because our game is one that you can score a lot of runs re-ally quickly,” Iowa head coach Marla Looper said. “Whether it’s talent level or the equipment that is manufactured. So a team that is lesser still could come back.”

While getting rid of the rule is something that go-ing to be difficult, Looper noted that the game has evolved a lot since the rule was implemented.

“The game has just changed; that 8-run rule has been in effect for a lot of years, and the game has changed through those years,” she said.

The fields are small-er and balls are liveli-er, making scoring runs more frequent.

“Unfortunately, there have been times that I have seen teams come back, and we have scored more than 8 runs in an inning,” Erickson said.

The Hawks will try to get back on track in a double-header against Missouri, another offen-

sively potent team, today at Pearl Field.

The Tigers come into the matchup with a 32-10 record and are riding a six-game winning streak. The Hawks last saw Mis-souri on Feb. 14, when they took the game to ex-tra innings but couldn’t hold on. The team ended up losing the game, 2-1, in eight innings.

“We were in the game then,” Looper said. “They are going to be a different club, and we are going to be a different club. I feel we have a good chance of staying in the ball game and have a chance to win. We are within centime-ters of taking advantage of these opportunities. We just need to grasp and hold on.”

encouraging, appearance for Hickman, who has yet to find his groove on the hill for the Black and Gold this season.

The Chicago native had a similar outing against Kansas back on April 8, his first start of the season.

“I definitely feel like this game was an im-provement over last time,” Hickman said. “I really cut down on the walks. Gave up quite a few hits, but not walking so many guys was my main thing.”

And while Hickman wasn’t great, none of the Hawkeyes seemed to be able to find their A-game against the Leathernecks.

Four errors as well as hits in the top of the fifth allowed Western Il-linois to storm out to a 5-2 lead.

“It was really disap-pointing to see how that played out,” coach Rick Heller said. “If you look back at some of the loss-es, we have a tendency to give up a big inning and then have to try to recover from it, which is something I thought we were past from a maturi-ty standpoint.”

Couple those errors with Iowa’s incredible lack of offense midway through (they recorded just 3 hits in the first six

innings), and the Hawks were in a constant strug-gle against themselves, fighting an uphill bat-tle that ultimately was their undoing.

Early on in the contest, the Hawkeyes took ad-vantage of a pair of infield errors by Western Illinois.

Catcher Jimmy Fran-kos drove in junior Jake Yacinich on a single to center, who had ad-vanced to third after an overthrow at first base. A few pitches later, sophomore Nick Roscet-ti scored from second, again on an overthrown ball at first.

However the Leath-ernecks scored three in-nings later, taking advan-tage of an Iowa defense that looked dazed and confused in support of re-

lief pitcher Matt Allen. “It was just a tough in-

ning and a tough night,” Frankos said.

And while the Black and Gold mounted a spirited comeback to tie it in the ninth, they came unraveled in extra in-nings, eventually falling in the 10th.

Factor in the nine combined hit-by-pitches and six combined errors, and you’re left with one of the ugliest games off all time, one that the Hawkeyes are most like-ly not in a hurry to dupli-cate anytime soon.

“If we’re going to take that next step and try to become a really good team, games like these are the ones we’re going to try to have to elimi-nate,” Heller said.

way to stop that, when it starts to go downhill.”

The Hawkeyes’ blun-der-filled game started in the fifth inning when Western Illinois’ Zack Burling hit a hard ground-er to Hawkeye third base-man Nick Roscetti, who bobbled the ball then tried to make a throw, throwing it past first baseman Tyler Peyton.

Burling advanced to second base on the error, and Iowa’s woes were just starting.

Following the Roscetti error, seemingly every-thing went wrong for the Hawkeyes. First, a throwing error by relief pitcher Matt Allen, then on a ball that ricocheted off Allen, an error by second baseman Jake Mangler.

“The first play was an error,” Heller said. “”The next two were just guys trying to make plays.”

And last, on a steal attempt, catcher Jim-my Frankos attempted to catch the base rob-ber but short-armed the throw, giving shortstop Jake Yacinich a tough hop he couldn’t handle, bringing in the 4th run of the inning.

To add insult to in-jury, a Western Illinois bunt attempt that was initially foul, rolled back into fair territory,

giving the Leathernecks their 5th and final run of the inning.

“We’re a team that prides ourselves on de-fense and being one of the best defensive teams in the country,” Frankos said. “Stuff like that, it’s inexcusable. We know that, and we’re going to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

But when Iowa played sloppy, Western Illi-nois returned the favor, sparking an Iowa ral-ly by plunking three-straight hitters in the seventh inning. Iowa used that to score 3 runs.

Western Illinois followed this up by almost literally throwing the game away in the ninth inning.

With two outs, Taylor Zeutenhorst dribbled a ground ball back to the pitcher, who threw the ball away, allowing Iowa to tie the game up. And in an attempt to win the

game, shortstop Jake Yacinich was waved home and tagged out at the plate.

“We were that close to walking out of here say-ing that we lived through a day where we didn’t play that well,” Heller said. “But unfortunately, that’s not the case.”

The play seemingly sucked the air out of Banks Field. Western Illinois scored 2 runs in the 10th, and in a per-fect ending to a sloppy game, a Nick Day shot was robbed at the fence to hand Iowa its 14th loss of the season.

Providing a solution to winning these games may not be simple, but providing a solution to moving on from these losses may be, some-thing pitcher Blake Hickman stated after-wards.

“We’ll try to forget about this one.”

NCAA panel OKs unlimited meals

A provision to approve unlimited meals and snacks for Division I student-athletes has tentatively been agreed upon by an NCAA Legislative Council.

The rule is in addition to the meal plans provided through each student-ath-letes scholarship, which previously allocated a total of three meals a day or food stipend.

Members of the Legislative Council have been in open discussions about the issue in order to ensure that all student-athletes get the necessary nutrition they require without jeopardizing provisions put forth in Pell Grants or any other types of federal aid.

The Division I Board of Directors will meet on April 24 to make a final decision on the matter.

The UI Athletics Department declined to comment.

Hawks drop ‘ugly’ game

By Jordan HansenJordan-Hansen@uiowa.edu

O’Shea Wilson has never liked being limited to just one event on the track.

“When I was little, I hated just doing one event or two events — that w a s n ’ t me,” the freshman said. “I tried every event that I could do, and I liked do-ing all the events.”

Among those events were sprints, including the 100 and his favorite event, the 200, the long jump, triple jump as well as a number of relays.

Versatile was certain-ly a word to describe the native of Houston while a prep competitor.

Even with all of that talent, he still was a bit of a late addition for the Iowa track squad. Orig-inally, his high-school coach sent the Hawkeyes his information, but there wasn’t scholarship money

It’s hard to find a good word to describe the start that Iowa pitcher Blake Hickman had in Iowa’s 8-6 loss against Western Illinois on April 15.

He wasn’t terrible. After all, he gave up no runs and struck out three batters in support of a 2-run Hawkeye second inning.

Then again, he wasn’t

all that great, either. He threw 60 pitches in just three innings and gave up 5 hits. He struggled to find the strike zone, and for the second-consecutive start, he gave up a free base on a wild hit-by-pitch that near-ly took off Western Illinois second-basemen Travis Stafford’s head.

After Iowa baseball’s 8-6 loss to Western Illinois, head coach Rick Heller spoke about what separat-ed the good teams from the great ones. This game was one of those aspects.

In a game that was filled with blunders from both teams, the Hawkeyes re-peatedly shot themselves in the foot and failed to take advantage of West-

ern Illinois’ blunders, ul-timately losing to a team that leaves this matchup with just 10 wins.

“If you look at a lot of our losses, it’s the big in-ning [that hurts us],” Hell-er said. “We’ve got to find a

ISU looks to up-grade Jack Trice Stadium

Almost a year after the University of Iowa received the green light to start making improvements on Kinnick Stadi-um, Iowa State University wants a similar treatment for Jack Trice Stadium.

ISU requested that the state Board of Regents consider the approval for the purchase of a new video scoreboard from Daktronics Inc., for the south end zone of Trice. Other enhancements, such as a ribbon-board and improvements to the sound system, are included in the purchase.

The regents authorized ISU to proceed with the planning for improvements to Trice in February. The planning included replacing and renovating the existing south end zone seating, upgrading the south end zone concourse infrastructure, upgrading the stadium south video board and sound system components, and constructing additional premium seating, according to the proposal.

The scoreboard and sound system in the south end zone that Iowa State wishes to replace was purchased in 2002, and the school would like the replace-ments to be similar to the north end zone scoreboard and sound system, which was implemented in 2011.

Iowa women’s soccer head coach Ron Rain-ey has been announced as the new women’s soccer head coach at Dartmouth.

Rainey has served as the head coach at Iowa since 2006, amassing a record of 80-67-17. He has the most wins in Hawkeye soccer history. This past season, the Hawkeyes won 15 games, won their first Big Ten Tourna-ment game in program history — they ad-

vanced to the Big Ten cham-pionship game, and earned the first NCAA Tournament berth in program history.

“We have hired a gem in Ron Rainey to lead our wom-en’s soccer program,” Dart-mouth Athletics Director Harry Sheehy said in a press release. “He has consistently improved every team he has coached, did some truly outstanding work

at Iowa, and will build upon the recent successes of our team here at Dartmouth. The Athletics Department and college as a whole are excited to have Ron, his wife, Margaret and three children join our family here in Hanover.”

Rainey-coached Iowa teams featured 34 Academic All-Big Ten honorees, five Big Ten Tournament appearances, and five Big Ten All-Freshmen team members.

Rainey joins a Dartmouth team that went 8-6-3 last season.

Iowa women’s tennis player Ruth Sea-borne has been named Big Ten Athlete of the Week for the second time this season.

The London native led the Hawks to a win over No. 42 Illinois last week after scoring a straight-set win at the top singles position and a 8-2 win at the No. 1 spot in doubles play.

The victory was the senior’s fifth straight, improving her record to 14-5 overall, 7-2 in the Big Ten.

Seaborne is the first Hawkeye since Sonja Molnar in 2010 to win the award two times in the same season.

Iowa will close its regular season at home this week with Big Ten matches against Ohio State and Penn State at the Hawkeye Tennis & Recreation Complex.
