RSOs differ in midterm pre-election approaches Multiple partisan and nonpartisan student groups on campus are working on voter registration and campaign efforts as the midterm election approaches. Combining resources, Illini Democrats is working with an Illinois Student Government task force, a nonpartisan group, creating a space where students can come together to discuss the midterm elections and register to vote. Illini Democrats is also planning to put up directions on where to vote for certain voting locations, such as the fourth floor of the Illini Union, since it may be difficult for students to locate, according to Audrey Dombro, president of Illini Democrats and junior in ACES. Other midterm election efforts from the organization include participating in Get Out The Vote, a nationwide effort to increase voter registration, and knocking on doors in the ChampaignUrbana area to canvass. “Our first approach has been registering voters, and so we’ve been in campus residence halls this past month working on getting voters registered either here in Champaign, at their new places of residence, or at their home place of residence,” Dombro said. As an out-of-state student at the University, Dombro felt she did not have adequate information on how to vote. As a result, she makes it a priority for students to

but said there is no guarantee of an allergen-free beverage due to shared equipment being used throughout the store. “Now if someone has a specific allergy, we’ll take one of our pitchers to the back and sanitize it with hot water and sanitizing solution,” Hong said. Krti Tallam, senior in ACES and president of University Vegetarians, has experienced a rise in concerns with her orders at Starbucks as a vegan. “I’ve noticed that unless you say you are allergic, there is very little respect for that kind of decision,” Tallam said. “So there is very little concern for what’s going in the drink.”

The 2015 video of marine biologist Christine Figgener pulling a straw from the nostril of a sea turtle while it bled circulated the internet, gaining more than 30 million views on YouTube and inspiring conversations and legislation to ban single-use plastic straws. Now, Espresso Royale and the University are joining the movement. Douglas McCarver, regional manager of Espresso Royale, said the company is looking for a permanent solution to eliminate plastic-straw usage, but it has run into issues with suppliers of environmentally friendly straws. “The main obstacles currently are suppliers not being able to keep up with the sudden and sharp rise in demand for compostable and paper straws,” McCarver said in an email. McCarver also said Espresso Royale customers may have already started to notice compostable straws in stores and will see more in the future. Compostable straws are straws made entirely out of renewable resources. “We currently do use a mix of plastic straws and compostable straws, as we are in (the) process of looking for a consistent, permanent solution and supplier to eliminate the plastic straws entirely,” McCarver said. Madeline Armetta, junior in Media and member of student sustainability group Act Green, said she thinks Espresso Royale’s choice to eliminate plastic straws will have a big impact on campus. “There are people who buy iced coffee or another beverage every day that use a plastic straw, and them seeing the campaign and

Milk label removal sparks concern Students worry over Starbucks’ policy change BY YOOJIN SON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Starbucks began enforcing a policy change in early July that removes labels from milk pitchers behind the counter, raising concerns about crosscontamination in its drinks. The unannounced policy change was brought into the public spotlight on July 10 when a Washington Starbucks barista, Coralee Snow, alerted customers with dietary restrictions and food allergies through a Facebook post. “The removal of the sticker was consistent with, and fur-

ther emphasizes, our stores’ use of shared equipment throughout our store,” said a Starbucks spokesperson in an email. Starbucks’ past allergenfriendly stance has been removed from its website since the announcement of the policy change, said Drew Hong, sophomore in LAS and Illini Union Starbucks barista. However, Hong does not believe the newly enforced policy drastically changes the safety of Starbucks beverages. Even prior to the no-label policy, equipment could not be ensured to be allergenfriendly, Hong said. Though milk pitchers were labeled for specific liquids, Hong has seen baristas forget and grab the wrong pitcher through-

out her time working at Starbucks. “If you don’t specify that you have an allergy, we might forget or it will go to the back of our minds,” Hong said. Equipment cleaning is an element that also raises concerns of cross-contamination and sanitation. After each use, the pitchers are steamed with the only present steam wand attached to the store’s espresso machine. Then, pitchers are wiped with a sanitizing towel that sits in a bath of a chlorine-based sanitation solution, which is changed every hour. Starbucks applied the new policy to establish a transparent relationship with its customers, according to the email. Starbucks advises customers to communicate with their barista about concerns

Illini Tower residents call for resolution of flooding BY ZIHAN WANG STAFF WRITER

Three weeks after several floors were flooded at Illini Tower, students whose rooms were affected still have no idea when they will be able to return to their original suites. They are frustrated by the housing facility’s response. The first to fourth floors of Illini Tower, a private certified housing facility, flooded the night of Sept. 25. Students living on these floors were moved to different locations on campus, and some are living with students they’ve never met before. Ronnie Davis, general manager of Illini Tower, said the flood was caused

by a sprinkler in a student’s apartment, and Illini tower was only able to turn the fire alarm system off once the fire department came. “We have a number of students impacted by the flood, so we worked to try to make the impact as minimal as possible,” Davis said. Yuhan Li, freshman in Media, said carpets on the affected floors were wet, and the walls, soaked with water from the flood, bulged. Li said she spent the first two days after the flood living in the Illini Union hotel, and then she stayed at Illinois Street Residence Halls for a week. Since then, she has been living in a separate SEE ILLINI TOWER | 3A

A recently released data set highlights a stark divide in household incomes between the University and the communities north of campus, revealing the effects of historical disparity. The Opportunity Atlas is a study that mapped the household incomes of people born between 1978 and 1983, taking into account race and gender, to understand which neighborhoods offer people the best opportunities to rise out of a low-income status. In Champaign-Urbana, the data shows a sharp contrast between higher income households closer to campus and lower income households outside the University area. “Both Champaign and Urbana have a long history of being very sharply racially segregated,” said Julie Cidell, associate professor in geography and geographic information science. The areas with lower household income begin north of University Avenue. The areas with higher household income include

the campus and surrounding communities to the east and west. Cidell said the Opportunity Atlas reflects how the past can affect the present, which is likely why the divide in income is still present in the map of the two cities today. Households in lowincome areas often have decreased access to parks and recreational resources, health care, transportation and increased exposure to flooding, pollution and noise than higher income households, Cidell said. “Lower income neighborhoods flood more,” Cidell said. “Anything that can be done, like the Boneyard Creek, the Second Street Basin, from what I understand, has really improved the situation in some neighborhoods when it rains a lot.” The City of Champaign constructed a basin for Boneyard Creek in 1997 to protect the surrounding area from flooding for up to 100 years, according to Hitchcock Design Group, which aided the city in this project.

The Opportunity Atlas maps household income difference. The lower-income areas are in red and blue represents areas with higher household income.

many low-income families do not have enough money to purchase cars and because the MTD bus service is either limited or not available at night and on weekends, jobs and places where low-income families can live are affected. The incomes of families are negatively affected by the lack of transportation because jobs must be with-

in a walking distance. “People don’t really need a car ‘cause they could take a bus … It’s a falsehood arising from ignorance that people have because of their economic and social class.

PRE-ELECTION know how they can vote and encourages them to plan ahead, such as submitting an absentee ballot. “I like to really engage students about where their vote is going to count the most, because for me, that’s what matters,” Dombro said. She also encourages students to vote early to dodge the long lines at the polls on voting day. Dombro said people who want to get involved in election efforts should join campaigns they believe in. She also said other partisan groups on campus agree with Illini Democrats on the importance of voting. “We are on comfortable terms with the Republicans and the Libertarians on campus, and it’s been nice to see that voting is not a partisan issue,” Dombro said. “Everyone should have the right to vote and we all recognize that.” Jack Johnson, junior in Engineering and president of Illini Republicans, discussed his views. According to Johnson, although the organization supports voting efforts, it usually focuses on long-term goals for the club, such as having speakers at its meetings, instead of focusing all of its time on the midterm election efforts. “We’re not going to spend our time harassing people on the Quad when they’ve already been asked six times, when there are bigger and better fish, at least for our regards, to fry,” Johnson said. He said although Illini Republicans may not be directly involved with campaigning, there are many

members in the club who campaign independently from the group for people running in upcoming elections. Johnson said Illini Republicans participated in a debate with Illini Democrats that ISG moderated this month, with the goal of spreading conservative viewpoints and ideas.

In addition to hosting the debate, the ISG created a GOTV task force this year and has a list of activities to help with midterm election efforts, said Aishwarya Shekara, sophomore in LAS, student senator and chair of community and governmental affairs in the ISG. “We’re also hopefully planning a dialogue series.

That’s something that I’ve been working on, between the Illini Democrats, the Illini Republicans and the Illini Libertarians, which is going to take place on Nov. 1, but that’s a resolution,” Shekara said. “It’s still a work in progress.” The dialogue series will serve as an extension to the debate held earlier in the

midterm election series, she said. The ISG task force is also planning to host midterm election-viewing parties, where students can come together to watch debates between candidates. Shekara said since ISG is the voice of the student body, she is trying her best to include all sorts of voices

Starbucks’ emphasis on equipment shared between different ingredients has been a known concept to baristas like Hong who work behind the counter, yet the international coffee franchise has not officially announced its policy change to customers. Meggie Gaddy, junior in ACES, was unaware of the policy change until recently. As a vegan, Gaddy is worried the policy will increase the likelihood of receiving a beverage mixed with the wrong milk. “By removing labeling they’re saying, ‘hey, this is what happens, we’re owning up to it instead of enforcing it,’” Gaddy said. If cross-contamination concerns reach the point of continuously having to look over the counter to watch baristas mix her drink, Gaddy said having to worry about the safety of her beverage would not be worth it. “In anything, if my concern gets that bad, I just honestly won’t shop,” Gaddy said. “I just won’t buy their products anymore.” Eric Zarnesky, Urbana resident and social outreach chair of University Vegetarians, sees Starbucks’ effort of becoming transparent as a positive element but does not look favorably upon the policy as a whole. “The fact that they’re being open, I think it is really a wonderful sign,” Zarnesky said. “Who doesn’t want to know what the person on the other side of the counter is doing and why?” Zarnesky is confused, however, as to why Starbucks has become open about its misuse of labeled containers rather than acting to resolve a critical problem to consumers with specific dietary restrictions. “I can’t imagine, I mean, there are people who avoid dairy products for religious or spiritual reasons or reasons that are deeper than just dietary and this really alienates image,” Zarnesky said. “It doesn’t seem like a wise decision.”

changing their daily behaviors can have a great impact in the long run,” Armetta said in an email. “It can also have a domino effect in the way that people will not buy plastic straws at the store anymore because now they know about the issue.” The University also hopes to eliminate plastic straws from dining halls by replacing them with paper straws or another more ecologically friendly option, but it will not do so until current plastic straw inventories are exhausted. “Once we get to a place where we are close to exhausting this inventory, we will begin to further assess biodegradable options,” said Chelsea Hamilton, senior assistant director for communications and marketing for University Housing, in an email. Rebecca Vining, senior in LAS and president of Students for Environmental Concerns, said plastic straws only make up a small percentage of plastic waste pollution and movements to ban them may be efforts by businesses to garner publicity. “I personally think that it’s great to lead a more sustainable lifestyle, but until we check the corporations in power, we will never be able to save the planet,” Vining said in an email. “Trying to minimize straws is a great step in the right direc- msf3@dailyillini.com

ILLINI TOWERS suite in Illini Tower with a new set of roommates. “This makes me a little bit not satisfied because I want to settle down and because I have a lot of work to do. But their placements are always temporary,” Li said. “It’s really annoying.” Danming Wang, freshman in DGS, said ISR was inconveniently located, and she wants to settle down because she had midterm exams at the time. Li said when she asked the Illini Tower staff why the residents were being moved around, the staff told her she could stay at ISR if she wanted, but she would have to foot the bill herself. Davis said they had to act fast after the flood, and the Illini Union Hotel could only provide two days of accommodation. Illini Tower also provided shuttle ser-

vices and meal plans for students who were relocated. “I’ll tell you that we did what we thought was in the best interest for the students,” Davis said. Shuhan Huang, freshman in LAS, said when she received the email notifying her she’d be living in Illini Tower again, she assumed she’d be going back to her original room. However, she and her roommates were separated and placed in different suites with strangers. “I originally lived in a two-bedroom with my roommates, but now we have to be separated,” Li said. Wang said Illini Tower compensated them for living in suites that cost less than their original locations. She said they have to live with students with different living habits, and it is inconvenient. Huang said the repairing process was inefficient.

“Every time we get to our floor we saw there are no workers repairing in the room,” she said. Davis said he understood the students’ perspectives, and he said he is not claiming everything is being done to perfection, but they tried their best to help students. “When we asked when the work can be done, they said ‘We don’t know,’” Wang said. Davis refused to disclose an exact time for when students would be able to return to their rooms. He said they need to make sure the floors affected by flooding are safe before students return. “It makes us have no idea about what we should do. Maybe one month later they tell us, ‘Now you can move back,’ so we have to spend more time to move our stuff back again. It really wasted us a lot of time,” Li said. zihanw4@dailyillini.com

tion, but it’s a baby step, and it’s token justice.” Vining said it will eventually be necessary for people to find alternatives to all single-use plastics for the sake of the environment. “The best thing about the straw-ban movement is that it’s getting people in power talking about environmental issues,” Vining said. California was the first state to sign a law banning the automatic distribution of single-use plastic straws. Customers at California restaurants must ask for a plastic straw if they wish to use one. According to a report by the Associated Press, supporters of the new law in California view it as a step toward reducing ocean pollution. Armetta said plastic straws can end up in oceans where marine life may mistake them for food, which will ultimately result in them choking and dying. Vining encourages people to explore other options when faced with the decision to use plastic straws, but she recognizes not all people are able to drink from reusable or paper straws. “I personally am lucky enough to not need any straw, and I’d advocate for that over any of the options,” Vining said. “In short, if you don’t need a straw, don’t use one. If you do, that’s OK. You aren’t single-handedly causing global warming.”

Look both ways before crossing streets

thy happy children (of the present), As students, we must remember to be courteous to bikers on our morning commutes. We must be aware of our surroundings for the safety of ourselves and others. We must harken back to the wisdom our parents told us during our childhoods: Look both ways when crossing the street. Now, as the mother of this University, I understand this sentiment is one of common sense and courtesy. I also understand that, as students, you have many responsibilities and other priorities to at-

tend to. But, we cannot forget we are students of this University. Therefore, just as our academics and extracurriculars are held to the utmost standards, our manners should be held to those standards as well. Let me provide a quick refresher to proper road crossing etiquette. First, we must look to each side when crossing any road. This seems self explanatory, but I can see each and every one of you as you cross a street looking directly down at your phones. We cannot exclude bike lanes either. With the advent of the controversial Veo-

Ride bikes, bike mishaps are more abundant than ever. But wait, there’s more. It’s equally as important to know when to cross a road, as it is to know how to cross a road. Cars almost always wait longer than they should at stop signs because so many students who aren’t near the road speed walk to catch up. Let’s also remember that even if the crosswalk indicates we can cross the road, that doesn’t mean drivers will always receive the same message. They will not always see you, especially as the days grow shorter. And of course, do not be the student who blindly cross-

es traffic, especially a two way street, with full knowledge of what is going to happen. Remember that I can see all of you, walking through Wright and Green streets. Many times I have witnessed a student look both ways, acknowledge that there are multiple cars coming, yet still cross the street. Even I cannot decipher why some of my students do this. For those of you who enjoy the sweet sounds of one of mankind’s greatest gifts (yes, this is music), be sure you are extra keen when crossing. By only hearing what’s coming through your phone and

not the sounds of cars or their horns, you are instantly at a greater risk of danger. Preoccupying yourself by responding to a text or checking social media as you walk only amplifies the potential for disaster. At that point, you’re essentially crossing without sight or sound. Our campus may be inclusive and welcoming to all, but we are not so welcome to a lack of common sense. Love,

Frat culture brings hyper-masculinity JOSEPH DILLIER COLUMNIST

raternities are obsessed with status: who has the coolest house, who blocks with the hottest sororities, who gets featured on “Total Frat Move,” who has the strongest bar pull, etc. In this status-centric culture, looking good to the outside world is key. This is why brands like Vineyard Vines, Supreme and Patagonia have become so popular. They are clearly expensive, easily recognizable (having a giant whale in the middle of your shirt makes it obvious what brand you are wearing) and often these brands use flamboyant colors and patterns, bringing attention to the wearer. Being stylish is a double-edged sword for frat guys, though. Be too stylish and you look effeminate, but appear ill dressed and you risk looking lame. Both ends of the spectrum scare status-driven and hyper-masculine fraternity brothers. In their attempt to circle this square, they have created their own style. The key is wearing clothes that

are clearly expensive so the girl they’re chatting up at Red Lion on a Monday night knows their dad has money, but at the same time isn’t too fashionable. This results in outfits where bright pink shorts are matched with a Patagonia pullover whose design looks like a stitched up hotel carpet and chunky boat shoes. Or maybe it’s American Flag Chubbies with a Southern Comfort T-shirt and a JUUL in the “frocket” because it’s “lit.” The fear of looking effeminate many frat guys harbor is not really their fault. It is the result of many complicated and masculinity reaffirming narratives we have been telling young boys for years. However, this problem doesn’t only frat guys. Another clear example of this is sneaker culture. The sneakerhead community is a loose, mostly male internet group dedicated to discussing, trading and fanboying over expensive, name brand shoes — and they are usually straight men. The r/Sneakers subreddit is probably the biggest community, with over 563,000 subscribers. Incidentally, there’s a lot of overlap of sneakerheads who are also fraternity bros.

The sneakerhead forums are places where you can watch straight men excitedly talk about Kanye West in the same way women stereotypically talk about designers like Marc Jacobs. Yet no one will question a brother’s sexuality because they are associated with traditionally masculine things like sports, famous rappers or popular athletes. Their forums are a safe space for guys who genuinely care about fashion without feeling less masculine. They use unique lingo like “flex,” “clout” and “hypebeast” that set themselves apart from the otherwise feminine, mainstream fashion community. In the pursuit of looking cool without wearing anything too fashionable, men have started many ironic and ridiculous trends. The fact Eminem’s Air Jordan 5 are $27,000 — an indication that collaboration between an athlete and a rapper can double a price tag — or that frat dudes are willing to go out in public wearing shorts with a blazer, shows how far they are willing to go to avoid being classified as anything other than the perfectly straight, rich man.

obsession with a collective identity and authoritarianism diverges from conservatism. The National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi hate group, states in its “25 Theses” that nations are bound by “shared race, culture and identity.” To preserve such identity, American democracy must give way to a oneparty state monopolizing mass media to repel outside influence. Likewise, the Patriot Front condemns democracy for racial defilement and wants “a new Caesar” to revive a nation descended from European conquerors. Even the Ku Klux Klan, while paying lip service to democracy, focuses greatly on “being white” with an almost cult-like hierarchy. In each case, the alt-right demonstrates a willingness to sacrifice individual rights hoping that a strong leadership may shield their common identities from the onslaught of modernization and demographic change. Worse still, the altright inadvertently spells the death of individualism because their monolithic, often race-based ideology resents what Mill calls a “variety in types and character.” Authoritarian beliefs also explain the menacing aesthetic of alt-right posters and memorabilia. To them, the Bald Eagle is no longer a symbol of enduring freedom, but an icon of absolute power, or a reincarnation of the Roman Aquila, the standard of their military legion. Charlottesville proved the alt-right is still a force to be reckoned with. Associating itself with traditional right-wing politics, the alt-right continues to prey on disgruntled voters using a veneer of patriotism and traditional values. Yet one way or another, American conservatives must wholly disown the alt-right, as it is fundamentally antithetical to individual liberty. Guzi is a freshman in LAS. guzihe2@dailyillini.com

Sustainability RSO provides project funding BY COURTNEY STONE STAFF WRITER

Across the country, universities strive to take initiatives to implement sustainability on campus. The Student Sustainability Committee gives the University a chance to reach this goal. SSC is a student-led committee dedicated to reviewing both student and faculty sustainability project ideas for potential execution on campus. The committee also decides which proposals will receive funding. “The more enduring mission goal for SSC is to provide students on campus with essentially opportunities to: one, facilitate innovative sustainability projects, and two, to make a difference, an impact, related to sustainability on campus,” said Adrian Chendra, SSC chair. In fact, all students on campus make a contribution to the sustainability efforts of the University already. Though few are aware, students actually pay two fees to the University as a part of their tuition. The Sustainable Campus Environment fee goes toward green buildings, recycling energy efficiency, environmentally responsible purchasing and engaging of the University community. The fee is $12.06 per semester. The Cleaner Energy Technologies fee is to provide pollution-free renewable energy and to reduce campus energy consumption. This fee is $2 per semester. All students are ultimately helping the University

become more environmentally friendly with almost no additional work. “That’s why we often try to put such an emphasis on the student outlook because we’re paying through the students’ money, so we want to make sure that we can provide the best services for students,” Chendra said. The students and faculty who do apply for funding for their ideas go beyond just financing sustainability. Students who apply for funding need to have a good idea and strategy for executing their plan. Then, they turn in the application on SSC’s website by the deadline stated. “We have students that

come in sometimes that they don’t know what to do actually. They just have a good idea, and they’re passionate about it, and that’s great. We love to see that as well,” Chendra said. “We just want to see people who are interested.” Not all projects have to be large-scale efforts for the University, either. SSC also provides students with the opportunity to receive a microgrant, which is a grant for projects that are fiscally feasible with up to $750. For this grant, students simply have to submit the proposal, and the committee will vote whether to award the grant at their earliest convenience, most likely

their next bi-weekly meeting. Each project will be given an advisor by SSC to provide insight and administer guidance, if necessary. This faculty member of the University is just another example of the resources SSC provides for students looking to improve sustainability efforts. Sarah Gediman, external vice chair of SSC, is another recourse of action for project members. She works to spread the word about sustainability and the SCC outside the scope of its members. “If anything comes up where I can make SSC more available to the community and let people know that we exist, because we are a big

resource that a lot of people don’t know about, and my job is to kind of let people know that we are available and how to apply for funding,” Gediman said. A perk of being in SSC is members get to listen to ideas of future sustainable innovations that could one day be implemented on campus. “That’s actually one of the things I like about SSC, that I get to learn about the different ways people want to be more sustainable,” Gediman said. “I want people to know that they can both be on (SSC) and that they can use the funds for their own sustainability projects.” Justin Vozzo, senior in ACES and education working group chair of SSC, is one example of a student who is not only apart of the organization but has a project funded by the committee, too. Coming into the University as a freshman, Vozzo took a class that inspired him to create a project involving aquaponics. Upon researching, he found out about SSC and its ability to fund student sustainability projects, enabling him to build his actual plan. “Aquaponics is essentially using aquaculture, which is growing fish, and kind of a hydroponic systems, so like plants grown in water, in unison,” Vozzo said. “So you’re kind of emulating a natural ecosystem and how nutrients would cycle in a natural ecosystem.” Vozzo’s agriculture aquaponics system was approved by SSC for nearly $5,000

and is currently located in the Turner Hall greenhouses on campus near the ACES library. Vozzo is still part of SSC to this day. He has served as the food and waste grouping chair, land and water grouping chair and is now the education working chair. With a large working knowledge of the organization and a passion for sustainability, Vozzo helps his fellow members and the student body stay educated on environmental awareness. “So when you submit a proposal, it is put into one of those categories. The main role of the subcommittee chairs is to kind of oversee each individual category and go over those projects with the people submitting the proposals,” Vozzo said. SSC members such as Vozzo seek to help those interested in sustainability by offering support in developing new and innovative ways to make the campus, and ultimately the Earth, more green. “It’s still a really important part of sustainability, you know, just getting people to think about it in general,” Vozzo said. “Education about our native ecosystems is really cool and also an integral part of sustainability, just learning about what was here before we were and how we can utilize that to our own benefit and, you know, make our campus more of a sustainably conscious ecosystem.” cestone2@dailyillini.com

Kennedy Browne exhibit critiques 21st century Krannert Art Museum to host conceptual art exhibition BY TRISTAN JACOBS STAFF WRITER

On top of the tallest building in Dublin, an actor sharpens a pencil to the nub. In a green room, another actor reads a script drawn from the Dell employee blog that details the firing of an entire division, while in the corner, young boys are celebrated for disabling their cribs and dropping out of school at an early age. These are some of the quirky scenes from the Kennedy Browne Exhibition at the Krannert Art Museum. The pieces in this exhibit are created by Gareth Kennedy and Sarah Browne, two artists whose work is bestknown throughout Europe. Their work presented here is conceptual art. The exhibit will be on display from Oct. 4 to Feb. 9. Deja Cook-Reynolds, sophomore in Engineering, entered the Kennedy Browne exhibit without any knowledge of the works that would be available to her. “I literally just walked into that exhibit. I was like, ‘What is this?’” Cook-Reynolds said. She saw Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets in the center of the room and was instructed on how to use them to enjoy the 360-degree video experience. The video detailed the dangers of social media and data collection by big technology corporations. She said she found the experience interesting and rewarding. “I enjoyed the experience of being in a virtual work,” Cook-Reynolds said. “He was walking me somewhere, and I could not stop looking around. I was like, ‘Wow this is so amazing’… I thought that experience was very cool.” The video is titled “Real World Harm (Act I)” and includes subtle references to Palmer Luckey, the inventor of Oculus. The 360-degree experience holds underlying hints toward his involvement in the 2016 Presidential election as a “troll” of the Clinton campaign, according to Amy Powell, the exhibition’s curator. Powell gave more insight into some of the pieces presented. Through their work, the artists are trying to make critiques of multinational tech corporations and globalization, she said. Throughout the exhibit, viewers will find familiar items, but those items will

Gareth Kennedy and Sarah Browne allude to economist Milton Friedman’s 1980 Monologue of pencil as an object of the free market. It is expressed through an actor shaving a pencil while overlooking Dublin, a city with that speaks over 167 languages. The video is exhibited at the Krannert Art Museum.

be placed in a different light. “The artists are distilling materials from these scenarios of 21st-century capitalism and making work out of it,” Powell said. Among those materials is a pencil. One of the artworks in the Kennedy Browne Collection features an actress sharpening a pencil from its original store-bought stage up until it’s nothing more than the eraser. “The pencil is a good

example because it comes from Milton Friedman, and all of our ideas culturally and politically about the free market … he made this speech in 1980 about the pencil being the perfect object of the free market,” Powell said. Viewers can see a pencil and easily understand its working components and the value it presents to consumers. What they don’t think about is the amount

of human interaction the finished product receives, Powell said. “The rubber for the eraser comes from one place, the graphite comes from another place, the wood comes from another place and the workers never have to see each other ... we can buy this pencil for super cheap and it’s that wonderful,” Powell said. However, Powell said this idea is something the artists are critical of.

“It includes centuries of forced labor, and it actually isn’t this big happy system, so they start to interrogate that as an idea,” Powell said. Jessica Hung, a junior in Business, is working as a marketing assistant for the museum. She said that while the pieces may be confusing, it’s gratifying once the true meaning is discovered. What’s interesting about the museum, she said, is it provides students with the

opportunity to see something they may not have been exposed to in the past. “The museum really prides itself on taking exhibitions of a lot of different kinds of art,” Hung said. “For something like this, it’s something newer, and it’s not everyone’s taste, but when someone comes here, they can explore the different kinds of art.” tjj3@dailyillini.com

Professor shines light on CU food insecurity BY ERIN CADY STAFF WRITER

The issue of food insecurity focuses on people who do not have easy access to affordable and nutritious food. Craig Gundersen, professor in ACES, has spent his career conducting research on national food insecurity. He suggests students at more prestigious universities should not be the primary population of focus. “(Food insecurity) is a very small proportion of the University campus, maybe 2 to 3 percent, so it’s a very small amount if you compare it to other groups in Champaign County,” Gundersen said. Gundersen acknowl-

edged there are some students who may suffer from food insecurity; however, University students are at a lower risk than other populations overall. “If you’re looking at groups with disabilities or you’re looking at houses with single-parent incomes, there are much, much higher rates,” Gundersen said. According to United Way, anon-profit that fights for financial stability, of Champaign County, over 33,000 residents experience some level of food insecurity. Volunteer Coordinator of the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, Lynn Hall, knows food insecurity is not only a growing issue but a hidden one. “When Daily Bread first

opened, it started in a small place, and they used to serve just 50 people,” Hall said. “Now, we serve 180 folks on any given day at the beginning of the month, and toward the end of the month you see upwards of 230 to 250 people.” Hall believes food insecurity is often misunderstood as being only for people who are jobless, homeless or below the poverty line. “The big misconception is that people who come here are homeless,” Hall said. “Most people who come have jobs, but they need to pay other expenses too.” In fact, Gundersen believes if we want to talk about campus food insecurity, we should focus attention toward people working at the University. “We should be paying closer attention to the people who work in the cafeterias, the janitorial staff or our support staff,” Gundersen said. “These

people are at much higher risk of food insecurity. Why aren’t we talking about support staff making $10 an hour? They’re the ones at greater risk.” Still, University Place Christian Church campus connector Jessica Delost believes food insecurity is a prevalent issue, however, it is hidden underneath the reputation of the University. “I always wonder if part of it is because of the prestigiousness of the University. With the University, a lot of people assume that most people are well-off just because of the reputation that the University has,” Delost said. A major part of this issue, Delost said, is most people assume a majority of people at the University come from Chicago suburbs. “My experience at the University is that there’s this expectation that you probably come from the suburbs or your parents are

helping you in some way or another, and it just seems like a subject that students don’t talk about,” Delost said. And for those students who fall within Professor Gundersen’s two to three percent — the ones who aren’t from the suburbs and don’t have familial support — Delost says you might be able to find them at the UniPlace weekly community dinners. “We have, let’s say, 120 people who come to our weekly community dinners. I would say at least 20 of those people are students,” Delost said. “We have a pretty consistent number of students.” When it comes to the University itself, Lynn Hall believes the money and prestigiousness of the University could be used to help both students and staff. “The University has got money to do some wonderful things there, some

wonderful research projects, and they may want to start thinking about using those programs to serve a meal for only $2 or something in one of the University buildings,” Hall said. “Daily Bread actually gets food from the University, so they could start using some of that food to serve meals in one of their buildings, too.” Professor Gundersen also wants to emphasize the importance of government programs and local food banks as a tool in the fight against food insecurity. “SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is critically important in our efforts against food insecurity, and we need to make sure that this program becomes even better,” Gundersen said. “I also think we need to recognize the critical role that food banks across the country are playing in combating SEE FOOD | 5A

Illinois to work on improving defense BY TATIANIA PERRY STAFF WRITER

Illinois football travels to Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday to take on No. 23 Wisconsin with both teams coming off lopsided defeats. The Illini suffered a devastating 46-7 loss to Purdue at home, while the Badgers fell 38-13 at No. 6 Michigan. After being the first on the board last Saturday, the Illini gave up 46 unanswered points over the course of the game. “When you don’t have a lot of answers for what happened, you go back to work, which we’ll do,” said head coach Lovie Smith. The team is now 3-3, the best record in Smith’s time with Illinois at the halfway point of a season. This weekend marks the 85th meeting between the Badgers and the Illini. Wisconsin leads the series with a 41-36-7 edge alltime and has won 12 of the last 13 meetings. Illinois’ most recent victory came in Champaign in 2007 with a 31-26 win over Wisconsin, which was ranked No. 5 at the time. Last season, Wisconsin came to Champaign and took home a closerthan-expected 24-10 victory during Homecoming weekend. The Badgers collected 303 total yards, 168 rushing and 135 passing. With Wisconsin standout running back Jonathan Taylor, a sophomore, the Illini defense is faced with a familiar challenge against the run. “He’s definitely a scholarship player,” Smith said. “Excellent speed, runs low to the ground, good runner inside, but of course with the speed can break them on the outside.” Turnovers are, traSEE FOOTBALL | 3B

Quade continues to reach new heights Junior is a leading Big Ten performer BY RACHEL SPENCER STAFF WRITER

When a program is as prominent as No. 7 Illinois volleyball is in 2018, it’s hard to pick any one

player who stands out. But week after week, one name continues to rise to the top of the box score — junior Jacqueline Quade has played a crucial role throughout the 2018 volleyball season. Whether it’s picking up an ace at the serving line, which Quade has done 19 times this season, or grabbing a personalbest 26 kills against Wis-

consin on Saturday, she proves set after set she’s productive anywhere on the court. Head coach Chris Tamas points out Quade’s flexibility as a hitter is one aspect of her game that sets her apart. “She hits the ball from a high spot, and she’s able to move the ball around a little bit,” Tamas said. “We

call that hitting with range, and when you have a range like that, it’s really tough for defenders to kind of sit in one spot and wait for you defensively. So if she’s able to continue with her success, she’s going to have to be able to do that and still add in more shots to her game.” Tamas hasn’t been the only one taking notice.

Quade continues to improve while also developing new skills. Senior Jordyn Poulter spent a lot of time on the court with Quade during the 2017 season — Poulter and Quade were the only two players to start for all 34 matches, playing in all 127 sets. SEE IOTW | 3B

BY JARED FARMER STAFF WRITER

The road wasn’t friendly to the Illini hockey team this past weekend. Going into last Thursday’s match against Minot State, the Illini held on to their No. 3 overall ranking in the ACHA but came out of the weekend with three straight losses to the Minot State Beavers and the Jamestown Jimmies. “Obviously, we didn’t want to come home with three losses, especially with two going to overtime,” said junior forward Evan Sabo. “They were all close games, but I think it was a matter of capitalizing on our chances and staying disciplined throughout the games to come out with a win. We just didn’t do that last weekend.” In Thursday’s game against Minot State, an early goal attempt by Kacper Ryba was blocked mid-flight by the Beavers’ goaltender Josh Bykowski. The Illini also had a 5-on-3 opportunity halfway through the first, but they couldn’t convert it into a score. Minot State got on the board first in the second period after a goal from Davis Sheldon, and Illinois responded when Justin Ries scored his fourth goal of the season to tie the score 1-1.

Coming off a recordbreaking performance at the Illini Women’s Invitational, the No. 20 Illinois women’s golf team is set to compete at the Cardinal Cup this weekend. The University of Louisville hosts the annual tournament in Simpsonville, Kentucky. Last year at the Cardinal Cup, the team finished second in a field of 15 teams, falling eight points behind Louisville. The Illini are having a strong fall season, finishing no lower than third in all three of the tournaments played. Including the Cardinal Cup, there are only two tournaments left to be played in the fall, and the team believes there is still room for improvement. “Obviously, Medinah was a record-breaking tournament for us, so we are very excited about that,” said Coach Renee Slone. “But the golf course was set up in a way that lended itself to birdies, and we left a lot of birdie opportunities. So we have been focusing on putting quite a bit and scoring opportunities and then also just the keys to playing the golf course at Louisville well.”

Strategizing for the course in Louisville has been the main focus in the team’s recent practices. While still practicing the fundamentals, the Illini have been concentrating on the difficulties this course can bring. “I think specifically for this course, (the focus) is course management,” said Tristyn Nowlin. “We have been discussing playing the percentage shot because there are some holes out there that maybe the aggressive shot isn’t the right play. There is some thick rough and the greens are pretty sectioned-off, so we are focusing on accuracy off the tee and distance control with the irons.” Having competed in the Cardinal Cup twice before, Nowlin is familiar with the course, but the Richmond, Kentucky native is also accustomed to the area. While Nowlin is always excited to compete, this tournament holds a special meaning for her as her family and friends will be in attendance. Freshman Crystal Wang is also very excited for this tournament as she feels the team has been putting in a lot of hard work to sucSEE GOLF | 3B

Purdue dominates Illinois in every aspect BY GAVIN GOOD STAFF WRITER

On Homecoming Saturday, Purdue outclassed Illinois across the board of the game. The result was a 46-7 loss in front of a packed student section. The Illini have dropped to 3-3 on the season with a 1-2 record in Big Ten play.

Running struggles

Sophomore running back Mike Epstein had one carry against the Boilermakers, junior Reggie Corbin had six and quarterback AJ Bush carried the ball 20 times for 24 yards. Offensive coordinator Rod Smith admitted at Monday’s press conference he allowed Purdue to dictate the way Illinois called the game offensively. Smith also admitted he tried to get the running game going early but backed off too quickly and resorted to the passing game when his team couldn’t establish a rhythm. On many of his option reads, Purdue forced Bush to tuck the ball and run. The grad-transfer went up the middle regularly and was immediately met by a number of Boilermaker defenders. Bush’s decision-making in these plays was a major reason why Epstein and Corbin received so little action. “Their ends were squeezing quite a bit, making AJ keep the ball on some of the run stuff,” Smith said. “There were a couple reads where AJ could’ve handed the ball off, where Mike would’ve been the recipient of some carries. I’ve got to do a better job, I think, of making sure those guys touch it. Don’t let a defense dictate who carries the ball, who doesn’t. Part of that was on me.”

Miscues at quarterback, on offensive line

Objectively, Bush had his worst game of the year against Purdue. The quarterback went 12-for-25, passing for 170 yards as Illinois attempted to

establish some sort of offensive momentum. Head coach Lovie Smith noted in his press conference when a team plays poorly, it’s usually the head coach who has to answer for it, then the offensive coordinator, and then the starting quarterback. Both Lovie and Rod noted the receivers dropped a number of balls, and the team didn’t offer Bush much help. However, the two pointed out at Monday’s press conference the quarterback needs to perform better. “What we like for AJ to do is, just like we talk about with everybody else, is go back to work,” Lovie said. “AJ threw some good balls, we dropped some passes, but that’s just the life of the quarterback.” Rod also pointed to the play of the offensive line, which gave up three sacks to Purdue. It forced Bush to go on the run more and kept him from having the time to make

solid reads or to get Corbin and Epstein the ball. “We need locking, blocking, either inside or on the perimeter,” Rod said. “That’s not always a bad thing when (Bush) is pulling and running. We missed a couple of things post-snap with the quarterback that would’ve helped.” The biggest play of the game for the Illini came early on when Bush hit Corbin for a 52-yard reception in the first quarter to set up the only score of the game. It was a play-action set, and Bush hit Corbin on the side of the field, who broke away, nearly scoring. Not much else went well offensively for Illinois in the rest of the contest. “Give (Purdue) credit; they did a good job of really stacking the box and taking away our guys,” Rod said. “We tried to run a little bit early, not a lot of success.

Nickerson stressed the importance of defending the run better, especially next game against a Wisconsin team that is known for aggressively and openly running the football down opponents’ throats. “It just comes down to getting those run fits with the different personnel group,” Nickerson said. “Your spread offenses have more receivers on the field; you have more defensive backs on the field. We’ll add another linebacker to the field, (Dele Harding), and look to fit those things up pretty well.” @itsallG_O_O_D gavinrg2@dailyillini.com

FOOTBALL ditionally, what Smith’s defenses are known for. Illinois has forced a turnover in 20 straight games, the longest active streak among Power 5 conference teams. The Illini lead the Big Ten and rank 12th nationally in turnovers gained at 2.17 per game. The team’s 1.83 interceptions per game is tied for fourth nationally and ranks second in the Big Ten. Del’Shawn Phillips and Jartavius Martin are tied for ninth in FBS and second in the Big Ten in interceptions with three each. “For us, it’s about execution,” said defensive coordinator Hardy Nickerson. “We’ll rely on the better execution of our fundamental techniques.” Illinois also ranks No. 13 in the nation and second in the Big Ten in passes defended with 6.33 per game. The Illini have 38 passes defended on the year, 27 pass breakups and 11 interceptions. But after last week’s performance, the defense has a lot of adjustments to make. A lot of miscommunication on the field played into the defensive miscues, according to lineman Bobby Roundtree. “I was running plays that weren’t called, I thought I heard,” Roundtree said. “So just listening and asking questions before the offense snaps the ball, so just being on top of things.” The new Illinois offense,

under the direction of offensive coordinator Rod Smith, has jumped exponentially since last season. It has climbed the national rankings in multiple categories, including an over-

100-spot improvement in rushing offense. Illinois is averaging 228.8 rushing yards per game, 22nd in FBS, and over 120 rushing yards per game, better than last season’s per-game

average. Quarterback AJ Bush contributed quite a bit to the running game early in the season but demonstrated a bit of trouble keeping up with the Big Ten compe-

tition, based on the Purdue matchup. “AJ understands when we have a tough game, the first questions are going to come from the head football coach,” Lovie Smith said.

“What we’d like for AJ to do, just like everyone else, have to go back to work.” @tati_perry14 tp3@dailyillini.com

IOTW And Poulter has no doubt Quade can continue to be a reliable force — a reality that can make her job as setter go smoothly regardless of the competition. “I think she can go as far as she wants to, really. I think that she can be as good as she allows herself to be, which is exciting for me to have her as that consistent piece,” Poulter said. “She took some really courageous swings and big moments this weekend, and I think her having that confidence of knowing that she can do that in any situation should be exciting for her, and it’s exciting for me because it just solidifies

In practices, I have spent more time on my short game and the specific drills we do based on the tournament and the golf course; whether the course is hilly or has big greens has helped it a that trust a little more.” During a season filled with set- , match- , teamand career-highs, it’s no wonder Poulter continues to feel at ease with Quade on the court. W hether it’s posting back-toback 22-kill performances against Colorado all the way back in August, snagging her sixth career double-double on the road at Indiana or walking away with 22 kills after facing off against former national champion Nebraska, Quade has stayed consistent even when the odds were against her team. The national recognition and noteworthy performances may be something to be excited about, but for the seasoned veteran, there’s always more to

The Illinois cross country team is set to host its first home meet of the season at the University Arboretum on Friday. The women’s 5K race will kick off at 4 p.m., followed closely by the men’s 8K at 4:40 p.m. Used as a course since 2003 and having served as the site for the 2011 Big Ten Cross Country Championship, the Arboretum will be used for a different purpose on Friday. This Friday is just a week out from the Big Ten Championships, and head coach Sarah Haveman plans to rest most of her capped runners, focusing on individual rather than team results. “We’ll use this race to solidify our Big Ten lineup and give some of our redshirts and developmental kids an opportunity to race,” Haveman said. “Just like us, other teams will use this meet for individually specific goals, whether it be they are one week out from a conference meet or are trying to determine their conference lineups.” The men’s and women’s

teams head into Friday’s race coming off the back of a successful outing at the Bradley Pink Invitational a week ago, where both teams placed third overall. Once again, the women were led by freshman Madison Marasco, who placed 9th individually, while sophomore Allison McGrath followed closely behind. Narrowly beaten by Iowa State and South Dakota respectively, Haveman is particularly pleased with the team’s ability to remain consistent throughout the season. “Our women’s team finished 24th last year at the regions, and this past weekend, we were four points behind the team that is ranked fifth in the region, so the growth in the women’s team has been even a little faster than expected,” Haveman said. Haveman is equally happy with the men’s performance at Bradley, which marked their first return to the meet since 2015. “I’m very proud of the guys that have stepped up in the absence of some others — we redshirted a few and had some early adversity to overcome,” Haveman said. While senior Dan Lathrop led the team with a ninth-place finish overall, Haveman was equally pleased with the likes of juniors Jack Dale and Caleb Hummer for adjusting to the challenging

circumstances. However, with different lineups in mind and new competition, the Illini Open will serve its own set of hurdles to overcome. With a switch in focus from team to individual performances, Haveman says a good result will depend on each team member’s ability to execute their respective race plans and remain consistent. Yet the Illini will have geography on their side for the fifth race of their season as well as a home crowd. “Running at home, there’s definitely a comfort level,” Haveman said. “It will be nice for them to sleep in their own beds, and they don’t have to deal with travel, so we can just get on over there and make it a good day.” Heading into the Illini Open, Illinois is ranked No. 6 and No. 7 in the Midwest region for men’s and women’s teams respectively, per the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s regional polls. “Whether it be a workout session or a race, whether we are traveling or not, there’s a cultural piece of who we are and how we approach things that remains consistent,” Haveman said. “Our biggest goal this Friday is to add another layer to that consistency.” sports@dailyillini.com undefeated at home, going 4-0. Central Oklahoma is 5-3 on the season and 2-3 on the road. “At this point, I think just bearing down is important for us,” Sabo said. “I know that sounds simple, but really running our system, not committing too many turnovers and just making sure we’re getting to the puck first and moving around the whole game is important. We had a few penalties in both Minot and Jamestown that put us at a disadvantage as well, so as long as we stay disciplined and play our game, we should be fine going into next weekend.”

third. The game almost ended up in a shootout, but in the closing seconds of overtime, Jamestown’s Cameron Todd scored a goal to complete the sweep on Illinois. “A lot of it came down to turnovers and not running our system and playing our game,” Sabo said. “That means moving our feet and playing hard the full sixty minutes throughout the whole game, and I don’t think we did that.” Illinois will be looking to bounce back as it returns home to play a crucial series against No. 7 ranked University of Central Okla- @jaredefarmer homa.

all sounds are unique and custom. With the general mood of the record, it is packed with a generally upbeat sound, while also remaining incredibly chill from start to finish.

ALBUM REVIEW

Baird’s ‘Owl’ is a hoot BY BEN TSCHETTER STAFF WRITER

if there’s a set of specified material you have to perform in the near-term for a limited time, which is the case with my show with Linda, you usually run it once or twice with the group then go. Everyone hears the recordings in advance and knows the general arrangements and keys and vocal parts and so on. As far as general practice, it’s like

You know that feeling when you go into something with no prior knowledge and then you walk out satisfied by your experience? That’s how it felt after hearing Bill Baird’s latest record, “Owl.” Baird is a musician and artist known for his experimental works. His music dives into new realms as he plays with different sounds and combines genres. He has been creating music as a solo artist since 2006 and has 13 releases to date, with “Owl” being his 14th. Upon listening, “Owl” can be recognized as an experience just as much as it can be as a record. The tracks take you on an emotional journey as Baird plays with sounds to create individual tracks with different feelings and moods. Each song, however, seamlessly transitions to the next, allowing listeners to feel Baird’s thought process and emotions, as well as simply listening to the album as a whole, rather than track by track. Experimental is definitely the right word for Baird’s style. With a variety of indistinguishable sounds and effects carefully placed in, it is evident Baird wants to explore outside the box and combine different elements of music to make something new. The sounds, and even the overall style, remind the listener of a modernday Pink Floyd — the early Syd Barrett stuff. With “Owl,” Baird brings forth a unique sound, as each song is highlighted by a strong ambient presence that is weaved throughout the fabric of the album. Behind the ambiance is where the different styles come in, with much of the overall sound being close to alternative rock, light punk rock or psychedelic rock. However, paired with the hum of the electronic ambiance and with a plethora of effects and sounds added to season his creation, Baird creates an atmospheric, creative experience. Each track is an individual creation, though they all unify into one complete album. Tracks like “Wolf,” “Owl” and “Mosquito” sound like they are ready to become indie rock jams but are trapped in an electronic process, while “Megascops” rocks harder behind the surface. How-

Robbie Fulks will headline this year’s CU Roots & Folk Festival. Fulks will perform alongside Linda Gail Lewis, with whom he recently released a collaborative album.
