New rule Jesse McCartney serenades students bans all tobacco THE DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
All tobacco products will be regulated under the 100 percent tobacco-free campus policy starting next August, Chancellor Robert Jones announced in an email Wednesday. Building on the SmokeFree Campus policy implemented in 2014, the policy will now prohibit all forms of tobacco, including snuff and chew. Vaping devices, which recently gained popularity, were already part of the old policy, said Michele Guerra, director of Wellbeing Services. “Typically when college SEE TOBACCO | 3A
Campus hosts first Indigenous People’s Day
ELISABETH NEELY THE DAILY ILLINI
Artist Jesse McCartney, teen heartthrob throughout the early 2000s, performed Saturday at Foellinger Auditorium. McCartney was brought to campus by a group called Star Course, which exists through the State Farm Center. The audience was sent into a screaming frenzy as McCartney stepped onstage, starting off the show with his song “She’s No You.” He performed a mix of old and new songs throughout the show, including his other hit, “Beautiful Soul.”
VR aids second language acquisition

In 1867, the University was founded on land inhabited by indigenous people. To honor those who lived in Central Illinois, the Native American and Indigenous Student Organization is hosting the first-ever campus-wide celebration for Indigenous People’s Day. “It is a day to recognize Indigenous People’s of the Americans ... to recognize the political realities and status of Native people, to celebrate the diversity and significance of Indigenous cultures and to remind people that we’re not simply the original people of the land,” said John McKinn, associate director of American Indian Studies Program, in an email. At the celebration, a sugar maple tree will be planted on the South Quad to commemorate the growth of the University’s relationship with the tribal nations. Charlene Teters, University

Professor leads student team to prestigious award BY DANIEL RENTERIA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
University chemistry professor Christina White has become the first woman to receive the award for Creative Work in Synthetic Chemistry from the American Chemical Society, which was first awarded in 1957. White’s research focuses on the use of carbon-hydrogen bond reactivity to cre-
ate catalysts that streamline the process of complex molecule synthesis. “Three of these catalysts are now commercially available and have been used by academic and industrial chemists to simplify the process of making and diversifying molecules of medicinal interest,” White said in an email. White said she is proud to lead a group of scientists
who have made discoveries that are being recognized for changing the way other scientists think about the reactivity of C-H bonds. Some of the catalysts developed by W hite’s research team are named after both herself and the graduate students who helped work to develop them, such as the WhiteParadine catalyst, named after former Ph.D. student
Shauna Paradine. “Many of these students are deeply engaged problem solvers who have discovered solutions that I could not have envisaged,” White said. “This award is shared by all of the White group members past and present.” White also attributes much of her success to Eric

Journalism department creates pop-up course to explore relevant content with larger audience of students
Theft was reported at the D-9 news@dailyillini.com
Students who are looking to add an eight-week course for the second half of the semester now have the option to take a journalism course called Trumpaganda — The War on Facts, Press and Democracy. This semester is the first time this journalism course is offered, and it will explore the Trump administration’s combative relationship with mainstream media and its subsequent labeling of certain news outlets as “fake news.” The course will be taught by Mira Sotirovic, associate professor in Media, who is a Karin and Folke Dovring Scholar in propaganda. Sotirovic also published a chapter in the book “Communication in the Age of Trump,” which discusses the unconventional nature of Trump’s presidency and his prominent usage of Twitter to release important information and opinions. The cou rse w i l l prompt students to rec-
ognize the varying strategies and tactics the Trump administration employs to deal with the press, and how the usage of propaganda exists in a democracy, Sotirovic said in an email. “Propaganda is effective only if it is concealed and camouflaged as something else, such as news, advertisements or PR releases, and it is critical to learn how to detect propaganda and recognize propagandistic features of any communication, including presidential,” she said. Sotirovic said students should take this course because propaganda is a form of communication and influence that could be anywhere. Stephanie Craft, head of the journalism department, said students in all types of majors are encouraged to take this course to become better informed about the Trump administration’s way of communicating to the press. “This pa r t ic u l a r course is the first of what we hope will be a series of what we’re thinking as pop-up courses, where we’re trying to identify things that are very in the news and build an eight-week course around it that would be of interest to the broader University community, not just journalism

Elise Guillen, freshman in LAS, said in a message she is interested in taking Trumpaganda because she wants to learn about how things portrayed by different sources of the media impact how she personally view things in the
society as a whole. “Based on the name of the class, I can tell that I would probably learn a lot about Trump and propaganda,” Guillen said. “Although I’m not the biggest fan of Trump, it’s important to know what the president is doing and how we, as Americans, are inf luenced and even portrayed with things like his tweets.” eidao2@dailyillini.com

Scott Denmark, professor in chemistry, is one of the three University recipients. He received the award in 2009. “Recognition by the ACS is something that we greatly appreciate,” Denmark said. “What Christina has done to earn this award is to develop ways in carrying out a kind of chemical transformations that were previously not believed to be possible.” Denmark said White has introduced methods allowing for the selective conversion of C-H bonds into other kinds of bonds. “She has developed a very eloquent solution that is of use to chemical industries that want to make products, drugs and materials that we all want to use in our everyday life,” he said.

Tech aids documentary screening THE DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Two anthropologists at the University contributed to a four-part documentary that utilizes animation and 3D computer modeling to provide viewers a closer look into sites of Cahokia Mounds, a pre-Columbian Native American city. “Native America: Cities of the Sky” focuses on an alternative perspective of history and urbanism during indigenous America. The documentary will screen at the Spurlock Museum at 7 p.m. Wednesday. “I’m very proud of our work — and the new information that we’ve been able to contribute to the understanding of Cahokia and the lives (and deaths) of the people who lived there,” said Kristin Hedman, assistant director of bioarchaeology and contributor to the documentary, in an email. Hedman said the work reflects the collaboration of several individuals and builds upon decades of Cahokia research by others. Descendants of the people who lived in Cahokia share their cultural history in the documentary, similar to the oral storytelling tradition that was passed down through numerous generations. Hedman said she is honored to be included in the project and is happy Cahokia
is getting nationwide attention. She said she looks forward to the conversations and new research directions that might come from the documentary, such as the prevalence of women at Cahokia. The people of Cahokia lived in a respectful environment in regard to their culture and religion. Evidence shows their practices, like human sacrifices and urban complexes, were similar to that of indigenous people in Mesoamerica. Hedman said she wishes to be careful not to sensationalize the death and burial of the young women in the mounds. She said it is important to be mindful of the biases and preconceptions we bring to our interpretations of the past. Timothy Pauketat, anthropology professor and contributor to the documentary, said in an email animation and 3D computer modeling used in the film will radically change the way people do archaeology and the way they incorporate the public into the studies they conduct. “Here, I am referring mostly to computeraided visualizations, especially those that put the
student, user or viewer in the model, which is to say back in the very site where something was or where something happened,” he said. “At the Illinois State Archaeological Survey we are rapidly moving to use drones, 3D scanning and augmented reality applications to document, reimagine and hopefully preserve the spaces in which history happened.” Pauketat said he is excited to be contributing to the documentary to the general public. He says it is important to help students come to the realization that archeology can produce new insights to history. “Moreover, I think students may come to understand through this documentary that history isn’t just what is written down on a page, but is instead what is inscribed on entire landscapes of human experience,” Pauketat said. “All people have such histories, and histories shouldn’t be flattened into stereotypes.” news@dailyillini.com

TOBACCO students start using tobacco, it’s an occasional social practice or perhaps a stress-management technique, but this often escalates to regular or daily use by the age of 21, and about a third of the users will continue smoking into adulthood and will die prematurely from tobacco-related disease,” Guerra said. Mikayla Mix, senior in LAS, said everybody above 18 is allowed to smoke outside of campus, which would make it difficult for the school to enforce this policy. “I don’t think much could be done because especially with Juuls, it’s already less tobacco than a cigarette,” Mix said. “That was the whole point of making them.” Much like the 2014 policy, the newer policy will pertain to all people on campus: students, faculty, staff and visi-
tors, the email said. Jeremiah Seal, senior in LAS, said he does not think the policy is a bad idea, but it would be hard to implement. A campus task force, comprised of students, faculty and staff, has been assembled to make sure those on campus understand and follow the policy. Unless the task force catches and fines people smoking, people will do it anyway, Seal said. Smoking and vaping in all campus-owned property is banned, including private vehicles parked on campus. “I understand the attempt to improve health and reduce tobacco addiction, and also the ability to have clean air and surroundings for people around campus, especially people with allergies or whatnot,” said Samuel Jesse, graduate student in Engineering. “But also, it seems a little restrictive against what people may want to do in their
own space and time.” Jesse said the policy might not be successful because people will still find ways to smoke or vape. “It’ll definitely stop maybe a couple of people from doing it in obvious places, but people will just avoid them,” he said. College-aged students are in the primetime span when people start to use tobacco, as most tobacco users start before age 26, Guerra said. The University is not the only college to enact this policy, she said. Over 2,000 colleges have smoke-free campuses. Campus Wellbeing Services will also be administering focus groups with various campus stakeholders to further discuss the policy. “I think the faculty, staff and students will be very happy that we will be supporting and helping an enchanting environment on our campus,” Guerra said. news@dailyillini.com

This will allow us to bring these special collections together and provide a better environment for the services and materials,” Wilkin said. Wilkin said the older part of the Main Library’s stacks are no longer suitable for the collection, and the project offers an opportunity to replace them with a better space for the students while supporting the University’s world-class collection. The excess books from the Main Library will be moved to other facilities, like the Oak Street Library. David Henry Ward, head of the UGL, said there are not any definitive plans for the project at the moment, and he is unsure if the library will temporarily

Begoña Arechabaleta Regulez, doctoral student in Spanish and Portuguese, said virtual reality can also help students learn a language by immersing them in the cultural context of the language they are learning. With the technology, Regulez said, students can travel while still being in the classroom and learn the culture as well as the language. Regulez said she is still collecting data from student subjects, but students who have participated have enjoyed the experience. Regulez’s technology uses VR to place students in cities such as Madrid, where students answer questions in Spanish about the city and an additional structure built in the Main Library and it would be a very large book storage facility. All six stack ranges would be demolished and a much larger building would have been built. That was too large for the university and part of the problem. We won’t do the original plan but it will be sufficient for our needs,” he said. The new plan will be similar to the original plan, with the RBML moving into the UGL, but the rest of the changes will be much less dramatic than the original plan had proposed. Though there is no set date for when the project will embark, the additions and renovations to the library are expected to be finished in 2024. “We don’t know the logistics for the demolition and the construction,” Wilkin said. He said the library staff also need to do considerable work to plan for the

Funds still need to be raised to help move the project along. “I’m excited by the possibility of our university working together to write the next chapter of our great Library’s history.

alum and academic dean at the Institute of American Indian Art in New Mexico, is featured as the keynote speaker at the event. Nichole Boyd, director of the Native American House, said Indigenous People’s Day has been celebrated for decades with the efforts of Native American students on campus, along with the La Casa and Native American House. “We’re really talking about how do we take this to a campus level, and what would it look like to really have something that signified not only the the root of moving forward that the University is taking, but the growth in how we’re working with indigenous communities and how we’re working with tribal nations,” Boyd said. Jorge Mena, interim director of La Casa, said with the effort of La Casa, Native American House and Native American Student Organization, they can become aware of how the University was founded in the space that was once inhabited by indigenous people. “I believe the Native students on campus have spearheaded this effort and brought attention to the day,” McKinn said. “From my perspective, there is an inclination for Native students to talk about who they are and to build bridges with non-indigenous people … something that hasn’t always been generative on campus.” Mena believes it is students’ efforts in the past decades, along with faculties in the cultural houses, that make this year’s celebration a campus-wide one. “It’s really important for folks to show up on Oct. 8 at 11 a.m. and meet some of these indigenous leaders who are coming from all over America and to celebrate indigeneity,” Mena said.

Since this suspension, Jose Reyes continued to play MLB with the New York Mets with a $2 million dollar salary, crossed the 500-career-stolen-bases mark and participated in playoff games. Essentially, once MLB acknowledges the incident enough to appease public outcry, incidents like these are forgotten and these players continue making millions of dollars while America looks up to them. A perfect example of the toxic attitude this policy creates is this statement from the Yankees’ owner regarding another notorious domestic-violence perpetrator, Aroldis Chapman: “He paid the penalty. Sooner or later, we forget, right? That’s the way we’re supposed to be in life. He did everything right and said everything right when he was with us.” If MLB does not amend its policy to create harsher punishments, such as termination, domestic violence within baseball will continue and ambivalent attitudes toward domestic violence in the United States will continue to persist as well.

each time they make the half-mile trip to the Illini Union or another dining hall for a meal. Of course, the greatest factor to consider with students living in a construction zone is the potential for hearing loss it could cause. The Mayo Clinic lists both exposure to excessively loud noises, and occupational noises from construction as risk factors in the development of hearing loss. While exposure varies on the student’s proximity to the construction, it’s still a risk to consider. Considering these factors, it is beyond me that the University would have kept this residence hall open while it is undergoing renovations. Walking through the residence hall, you can see workers near the building welding in the daylight, using hydraulic backhoes and generally attempting to build a grander future for the students of ISR. However, for the people looking out their window into this mess, I can’t help but feel like the sacrifice is lost on them. Collin is a sophomore in DGS. cvc2@dailyillini.com
prime example of the possibilities in a positivesum world. If more people across the globe had money to pay for cancer treatment, say 5 billion people instead of only 1 billion, cancer research funding would exponentially explode. Because of the nature of innovation and the profit incentives it entails, we’d find more effective means for treating and potentially curing cancer in a shorter amount of time. Essentially, imagine if the world collectively put in five times the current total amount of money put into curing cancer. We would have more efficient research labs, acting to benefit all of humanity, in every corner of the world — not just in the West. The ideal way to do this would be to invest in poor and developing countries to ensure they’re developing in the right direction and their populations are educated and equipped with the right resources. Bill Gates recently launched a billion-dollar project aiding India in becoming more energyefficient as it continues to develop and populate at one of the fastest rates in the world, meaning it would also pollute at one of the highest rates in the world if something wasn’t changed. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also pledged developed countries would send $100 billion annually to poor countries by 2020 to help them pay for the energy transition. These projects not only help poor countries, but they also help our own people live better lives through environmental security for generations to come. These are the types of actions needed to ensure a better humanity for all of us in the present and for the future generations we bring into the world. The Industrial Revolution served as the catalyst for what humans are capable of when we cooperate and, even until now, we may have only seen a preview of it.

Independent Native American film debunks classic stereotypes BY SIDNEY MADDEN STAFF WRITER
On a Saturday morning at the Goodrich Savoy 16 IMAX theater, community members and moviegoers shuffled into the 9:30 a.m. screening of the independent Native American film “Neither Wolf Nor Dog.” Once the credits rolled, the audience members remained in their seats, taking a moment to reflect on the film they saw. “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” an independently made and self-distributed 2016 film, has an audience score of 95 percent on rottentomatoes. com. The movie will be playing at Goodrich Savoy Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 11 at 3 p.m. The film, based on the book of the same name, follows real-life author Kent Nerburn as he is asked to document the lessons learned from one of the last generations of Lakota elders. “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” depicts modern Lakota life and the generational effects of government-led displacement and assimilation efforts on native reservations, specifically the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre where 300 Sioux people were killed. The film’s director, Steven Lee Simpson, attributes much of the film’s success to 95-year-old lead actor Dave Bald Eagle, who played Lakota elder Dan. “(The audience has) fallen so in love with Dave and what he’s done with this film and the journey around it,” Simpson said. “It’s how he’s made them feel that’s made them vote the way they have.” Bald Eagle, who passed away before the film’s release, is the heart of the movie. His character inherently demands respect by his status on the reservation, but his individual charisma is captivating as well. Bald Eagle’s

GENDER and which ones have changing stations. The driving force behind the surveying project, Beard said, is because transgender students, faculty, staff, visitors and other folks do not feel safe using multi-stall restrooms. “That’s for many reasons, not just the fact that trans people are way more likely to be attacked, experience violence and discrimination,” Beard said. “It has happened

“Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” is an independent Native American film currently playing at the Goodrich Savoy on Oct. 8 and Oct. 11. Based on a novel, the film provides insight to modern Lakota life, and has had widespread success across the U.S., with a 95 percent on rottentomatoes.com. (From left to right) Dave Bald Eagle, Chris Sweeney and Richard Ray Whitman were the central cast.
from his individual-first approach. For him, Simpson said the last thing someone should ever do is approach a film from a cultural standpoint because then it immediately fails. “Then you draw on stereotypes and too great of a simplification,” he said. “My role was to know who Dan was, (who) Grover was, Winona and various other characters as individuals. And if I create those individuals truly, then everything else falls into place because everything that is true to them, cultural and otherwise, will be in place.” There are various campus efforts happening at the intersection of art and native representation too. Nichole Boyd, director of the Native American House, is organizing the events for Native November. Various artist talks with visual artists Ryan Young and Broadway star Ty Defoe will be held throughout the month in addition to bead making, basket weaving and cooking demonstrations. “Oftentimes people hear (of) Native American art, and they put natives in this,” Boyd said. “(So) if you’re not producing stuff like this quintessential warrior on a horse riding through the plains, then people have a hard time grappling whether that’s in their box when they think of Native American art.” Simpson has already taken the film overseas, where it outperformed other films at a Belgium film festival. He hopes to take it to other places in Europe. “In Europe, there’s more of a general cultural fascination,” he said. “Everyone in Europe is so used to American movies, but this is taking them into the country in ways they’ve never been before.”
comedic timing combined with his gentle yet commanding onscreen presence demonstrates the versatility of his talent. He can elicit the most laughter from the audience with one-liners and simultaneously deliver thought-provoking monologues. Simpson actually had Bald Eagle improvise a climactic scene of the movie, filmed at Wounded Knee. Bald Eagle, whose own family was more directly affected by the massacre than the character, channeled his own history to convey the vulnerability and honesty of the moment. “We set the camera on close-shot on him and told him, ‘Tell us what you feel,’” Simpson said. “And he switched into an emotional place and poured his heart.
At the end of the sequence, he turned to Christopher Sweeney who was playing Nerburn, the author opposite, and said, ‘I’ve been holding that in for 95 years.’” Since its release in 2016, the film has been in nearly 200 theaters across 15 percent of the country. Simpson said that some dedicated fans drive six hours or even hop on a plane just to see the movie. Melody and Holly Bass, mother and daughter and descendants of the Standing Rock tribe, took off of work and drove from Decatur to Savoy to see the film. They were impressed with the full theater and the overall response. “I’m not sure there would have been as big of a turnout in Decatur because I don’t
think people think that way there,” Melody said. “But here, because of the University, because of the value on education, there was a good turnout.” They haven’t always been impressed with the University. Holly, former student in ACES, transferred amid the Chief controversy. She felt like her feelings didn’t matter to other students and faculty. “We like to say we’re people with a past, not a people of the past,” Holly said. “I’ve lived in Illinois my whole life and I’ve grown up around nonnatives and they’re like ‘You still exist?’ It’s like to be told people don’t even realize you exist.” Both Melody and Holly thought the film debunked cultural stereotypes and
filled a disparity for modern representation of reservation life in media. Suzanne Wannemuehler, volunteer at Red Feather Development, a nonprofit that builds homes on native reservations, found both the book and film to be enlightening. “As a white person going to the reservation, I made so many cultural mistakes, never even realizing how many cultural mistakes I was making,” Wannemuehler said. “This book I read helped teach me about what not to do. And quite frankly, the movie versions many of us have about what it means to be Native American are just that: make-believe.” Simpson believes the authenticity of the film stems sidneym2@dailyillini.com
on this campus and many other places where a trans person has walked into a multi-stall restroom and somebody has said something to them about (how) they shouldn’t be there or reported them. Nobody should have to worry about feeling safe and having to use the restroom.” However, it is not only transgender people who benefit from gender-inclusive bathrooms; families, parents, people with trauma, people who have been assaulted and those with anxiety disorders also benefit. Sarah Colome, Women’s
Resources Center director, said in an email that when places have gender-specific restrooms without a genderinclusive option, it can create a feeling of exclusion for gender-queer people. She said at the end of the day, everyone deserves to feel safe when using the bathroom. “Providing gender-neutral restrooms is a way for a location or company to assert that they recognize the humanity of all people and that we shouldn’t be limited to prescribed notions of gender,” Colome wrote. Leslie Morrow, LGBT
Resource Center director, said gender-inclusive bathrooms are important because everyone needs to use the bathroom. “There are students, staff and faculty that do not feel safe and basically have not gone to the bathroom all day until they can get to a space where they feel safe to do so,” Morrow said. “That has serious implications for their health, physical as well as mental and emotional.” Beard said the committee sees this as an accessibility issue because everyone should be able to access and
use restrooms. If our campus is truly going to be accessible, she said, we need restrooms that meet the needs of everyone and that they also feel safe using. One of the things Morrow said they are working on at the center is training and education, to help people understand why gender-inclusive bathrooms are important. They plan to release PSAs explaining the importance of gender-inclusive restrooms, but also other pieces on issues like the importance of pronouns. Beard said she thinks many
people don’t understand why gender-inclusive bathrooms are important. The fact is, she said, that every human on the planet needs to use the restroom; it’s one aspect of life which all people share no matter who they are or what they look like. “If you’ve never had to think twice about what restroom you use, then you’ve got a privilege that you haven’t recognized, because there are people who have to worry about this everyday,” Beard said. emmacp2@dailyillini.com

Illinois welcomes professional fraternity Students incorporate sustainability on campus BY MEGAN BRADLEY STAFF WRITER
Madeline Barone’s interest in the environment stems partly from her citizenship in Costa Rica, an environmentally conscious country ranked the happiest in the world because of its sustainability practices, according to the Happy Planet Index. Now, the junior in LAS has found a way to bring some of that environmental consciousness to campus. Epsilon Eta, which Barone discovered by spending time at another university, is a professional environmental fraternity that is open to any student with an interest in sustainability or the environment. “I wanted to start Epsilon Eta at Illinois because I knew it existed at other schools and there are professional fraternities for so many other majors, so why not environment?” Barone said. “There was nothing for environment majors, and I think doing environmental service is extremely beneficial to our campus.” The fraternity focuses on three pillars: professional, volunteer and social. Recruitment interviews will start soon, and then Barone said she hopes to organize events and begin volunteering in the community. Barone, along with the rest of her executive board, has been working on bringing Epsilon Eta to campus since the summer. She keeps in contact with Epsilon Eta nationals to ensure all the correct paperwork is done for the Illinois chapter as well as working with the University to register Epsilon Eta on campus. Sydney Spencer, junior in LAS and Epsilon Eta’s vice president, said she had been in the process of looking for an environmental organization to join when Barone asked her to become involved

Madeline Barone, junior in LAS, is the president of a new-to-Illinois professional fraternity called Epsilon Eta. The fraternity’s new chapter focuses on sustainability and is working to promote a more environmentally friendly consciousness on campus.
with Epsilon Eta. Although Spencer is excited to be part of the founding class for the fraternity, she said she is surprised an organization like this did not already exist on campus, especially because of the University’s sustainability efforts. Because sustainability is becoming relevant to many fields of study on campus, Epsilon Eta is an organization for any student to join and be able to network. “Sustainability is being implemented more in every single major — architecture, industrial design, engineering — there are so many different majors here that are really starting to focus on it,” Spencer said. “I’d tell people that no matter what major you’re in, there’s always a way to tie it into sustainability.”
People sometimes avoid conversations about the environment because they can be disheartening, but Spencer said talking about these issues is an important way to initiate change. Students who join Epsilon Eta will reap the benefits of a professional organization through speakers who will be brought in and other networking opportunities. Epsilon Eta members will also be volunteering in the community to fulfill the second pillar of the organization. Jimmy Liberto, junior in LAS and Epsilon Eta’s treasurer, said the opportunity to be part of something that promotes and protects nature while being surrounded by students with similar passions made the decision to join Epsilon Eta easy. “Epsilon Eta is an impor-
tant organization to have on campus because it allows like-minded individuals who care for the environment and want to make a career out of it to have a place to meet, grow together and help the environment together,” Liberto said. Barone, Liberto and Spencer all believe Epsilon Eta’s main goal, for now, is to attract the best new member class possible to have a successful year. Barone said she’s excited for the opportunity to talk to and meet many new people through Epsilon Eta. Members can expect to be part of an organization with a low time commitment and a diverse group of people. “I’m really excited to be able to talk to everybody and see — business-wise, architectural-wise, engineeringwise — what sustainabili-
ty means to them,” Spencer said. The environment is an important part of people’s lives, no matter where in the world they live. Experiences such as Barone’s citizenship in Costa Rica and the year Spencer spent as an au pair have allowed them to see the sustainability practices and environmental issues that occur in other countries like South Africa, where there is extreme water stress, and India, where Spencer saw beaches littered with garbage. Students can apply environmental interests on campus and in the ChampaignUrbana area, which can create a larger impact over time. “Nature gives us many benefits, such as clean air and recreation,” Liberto said. “Our
service to helping nature will allow the whole community to benefit.” Spencer said she wants students to do their part in environmental issues and to feel comfortable acting in environmentally conscious ways, which being part of Epsilon Eta will help make possible. The Illinois chapter of Epsilon Eta plans to have an impact on the community, students and the environment in general. The executive board is excited to foster informative environmental discussions and activities. “If we can educate people on stuff that they don’t know about and get them to act on that outside of Epsilon Eta, I think that would be the one thing that I want most for this,” Spencer said. meganmb2@dailyillini.com
Lack of all-gender restrooms excludes LGBT community BY EMMA PALATNIK STAFF WRITER
Two years ago, a group of students surveyed 129 campus buildings to identify where the single-user restrooms were located as part of an assignment for one of their classes. This sparked the efforts of the LGBT Resource Center to identify gender-inclusive bathrooms on campus. The class worked with faculty and staff to come up with a checklist to help them identify appropriate information about each bathroom.
“It’s important that you know other things about the bathroom: Is the bathroom accessible by a wheelchair? Is there a deadbolt? How is the bathroom marked? Is it marked as a gender-neutral single-use restroom? Or has the new signage, the genderinclusive signage, been added to it?” said Jacqueline Beard, McKinley Health Center staff psychologist and former LGBT Resource Center advisory committee chair. “Does it have a changing station, for example, for somebody that might have children?”
When the year finished, the project wasn’t officially complete. There were still 151 buildings left to survey. During her last year as the advisory committee chair, Beard decided it was necessary to finish surveying campus buildings for gender-inclusive restrooms. “I said, ‘This is just ridiculous that this hasn’t been completed yet,’” Beard said. “So if we’re really going to try and get something done this year that’s tangible and concrete — and this is my last year — I want us to get some-

thing done. The committee, they backed me up, basically, and said, ‘you want to do this, let’s do this.’” The committee created two events, one in the fall and one in the spring. They organized scavenger hunts, where volunteers helped go through campus buildings and identify gender-inclusive restrooms. A total of 60 volunteers helped across both scavenger hunts. For the remaining restrooms, a couple of committee members set aside some time to survey the rest.
With the completed project, Beard wanted to find a way to make the information available. The LGBT Resource Center has a copy of the file available on its website. Beard reached out to people in Information Technology to look for other ways to share the information. She contacted Joel Steinfeldt, an editor and policy analyst at the University who runs the campus map. Beard said Steinfeldt saw this information as important and offered to add this information to the
campus map. Once the information is available, users will be able to click a link on the campus map that says “single-use restrooms.” It will list where in the building the bathroom is located. Beard and the LGBT Advisory Committee hope to create a mobile application with the gender-inclusive restroom information. They also want to integrate other information, like which bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible SEE GENDER | 5A

Illini back on track after win BY BRIAN BINZ STAFF WRITER
After the Illini sustained their first two losses of the year last weekend back-toback against No. 3 Nebraska and No. 6 Wisconsin, two of the top teams in the Big Ten, Saturday’s match was more than just another run-of-the-mill sweep. “In practice after Wisconsin, we got in the gym and really dialed in and honed in on ‘what team do we want to be?’” said senior Ali Bastianelli. “We decided what we were against Wisconsin is not what we want to be.” Illinois racked up 52 errors in the games against Nebraska and Wisconsin and hit a combined .1915 hitting percentage between the two 1-3 matches. “Even in some of our early wins, there were things that stuck out, but until you actually lose and have that pit in your stomach after losing, it doesn’t resonate as deeply,” said senior setter Jordyn Poulter. After the Wisconsin game, Poulter said the Illini’s communication, or lack thereof, led to the loss of easy points. Against Northwestern, she thought the communication and passing was phenomenal. The Illini and coaches are well aware of the challenges of playing in the Big Ten, which they say is the best volleyball conference in the nation. Other coaches agree, with five of the top 10 teams in the national coaches poll hailing from the Big Ten. “Everyone comes from the best of the best,” said head coach Chris Tamas. “The budgets are big, so we are able to recruit from all over, so you’re going to see a tough opponent.” But it isn’t just the top of the conference that makes it so tough, according to Poulter. “Any given night, home or away, you can be stripped of a victory by anyone,” Poulter said. “If you win against one, you’ve got another tough one either the next day or the next Saturday.” Bastianelli agreed and said every team gives a different challenge along SEE VOLLEYBALL | 3B

Illinois breaks Big Ten losing streak in road win BY TATIANIA PERRY STAFF WRITER
In recent years, the Illinois football program has set fans up for disappointment during Big Ten play. But after losing 13 straight Big Ten games, the Illini broke their losing streak. In a matchup defined by big plays, Illinois defeated Rutgers 38-17. “This is a big win for us. Every time you get a Big Ten win, it’s a big win,” said head coach Lovie Smith. “Getting a Big Ten road win is even
harder.” Quarterback AJ Bush saw his first start after a hamstring injury kept him out of the last two games. The graduate transfer collected his first and second career rushing touchdowns as an Illini in the first half and totaled 116 rushing yards, only outrun by running back Reggie Corbin. “It was great to be back out there with my guys,” Bush said. “I feel pretty close to 100 percent now. We just have to fine-tune some
things, but I thought it went pretty well.” Bush also threw for 89 yards, with one passing touchdown and no interceptions. The performance was quite different for Rutgers quarterback Artur Sitkowski, who on his first possession of the game was picked off by freshman Jartavius Martin. Sitkowski gave up two more interceptions throughout the game to Del’Shawn Phillips and Nate Hobbs.
The first interception, marked as Martin’s third of the season, set the team up for its first score. “Our statistics aren’t great right now in the overall picture, but we didn’t have any turnovers today; we were plus-three today,” Smith said. “We had a fourth-down stop. You’re going to be able to win games that way.” Chase McLaughlin kicked a 39-yard field goal for the first points of the day, but it was Rutgers that scored the first touchdown.
The Illini defense, though they had their struggles throughout the game, came out strong and didn’t waiver after leaving some clear gaps for Rutgers running backs Jon Hillman and Raheem Blackshear. Both Rutgers backs ran for a combined 110 yards and one touchdown. On the other side, the Rutgers defense struggled with keeping the gaps closed, and Corbin took full advantage. He gained 137 yards with SEE FOOTBALL | 3B

For Illini hockey head coach Nick Fabbrini, there is no place like home, but soon enough he will be 5,791 miles away. Fabbrini was recently named an assistant coach for the 2019 U.S. Men’s National University Hockey Team. He will help the team during the 2019 Winter World University Games, taking place March 2-12 in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. “It’s really exciting; it’s definitely an honor to represent your country,” Fabbrini said. “We’re really looking forward to it. For me, the highest level that I’ve coached at to this point, and you’re basically coaching against current and former professional players, so I definitely look to take some things and figure out ways to apply them back to here.” Debuting in 1960, the games are held every other year (with the exception of 1980) and will host 76 events within 11 different winter sports. For Fabbrini, receiving an offer to help coach his country is greatly appreciated, but his ideal job remains here in Champaign. Fabbrini, a decorated Illini

It was an overcast Friday, not unlike other October Fridays in Champaign, but inside the Ubben practice facility, it wasn’t just another Friday. Head coach Brad Underwood addressed the media for about half an hour before taking pictures with his team, marking the beginning of a new season for Illinois basketball. The Illini look to bounce back from a season where they went 14-18 and 4-14 in the Big Ten, including a 0-9 start to Big Ten play.
New faces
Few teams in the Big Ten have to face the roster turnover that the Illini have. After losing six play-
ers from the 2017 team, Underwood added eight new players to the roster — six of them being part of Underwood’s first real freshman class. Out of the six players who departed, five started at some point in the season, and Michael Finke and Leron Black took up the large bulk of frontcourt minutes in 2017. The Illini will look to replace that with a mix of freshmen like Samba Kane and Giorgi Bezhanishvili, as well as veterans like graduate transfer Adonis De La Rosa and junior Kipper Nichols. Illinois also bolstered its backcourt with new arrivals like five-star PG Ayo Dosunmu, four-star wing Tevian Jones and a group of three-star guys like JUCO transfer Andres Feliz and freshman Alan Griffin. While the inexperience may be a hurdle for the team to overcome, Underwood said the team has a “youthful exuberance” SEE BASKETBALL | 3B

Early on in the game, he made his presence known, jumping in front of a route to intercept quarterback Arthur Sitkowski’s pass. When considering the early suspensions to key
players in the secondary, Martin’s consistency has been a blessing for Hardy Nickerson’s defense. Paired with six solo tackles and one assisted tackle, Martin has proven he is a capable Big Ten defender, and the staff has rewarded his performances with a significant role in the defense.

O FFEN S E Illinois controlled the game on Saturday, and that’s not something that can often be said about this team in recent years. Rod Smith’s offense posted 419 total yards; granted, it came against a Rutgers offense that has struggled mightily on the way to a 1-5 start to the season. But progress is progress,
Three interceptions by Illini defenders changed the game dramatically on Saturday. Martin’s early interception gave Illinois a boost early before Del’Shawn Phillips added one, and then Nate Hobbs denied Rutgers near the goal line to seal the win late in the fourth quarter. After giving up 387 rushing yards in the 63-24 loss
and that’s exactly what Smith’s group has shown so far this season. Illinois averaged 6.8 yards per play and an impressive 7.7 yards per play on the ground. If it can do that against the likes of Purdue next week, and down the stretch as the season wears on, Illinois will be competitive in a lot of games.
to Penn State its last time out, Illinois only allowed 119 yards on the ground to Rutgers. Defending the run still seems to be an area of concern, especially when Illinois is going up against more talented offensive line units, but combined with that and only allowing one passing touchdown, the defense did a solid job overall on Saturday.
RUTGERS NOTEBOOK BY GAVIN GOOD
BUSH R ET URN H ELP S SPA R K O FFEN SE The Illinois run game powered Lovie Smith’s group to its first Big Ten win in nearly two years on Saturday, as the Illini posted 330 rushing yards. After only rushing for 78 total yards in 2017, junior running back Reggie Corbin ran for a career-best 137 yards on just 11 carries, averaging 12.5 yards per carry. In the second quarter, Corbin broke out on the right side — following quarterback AJ Bush’s lead block — for a 73-yard touchdown run, the 25th-longest in
school history. Sophomore Mike Epstein added 63 yards on nine carries, most of which came on an explosive 41-yard scoring burst late in the fourth quarter to seal the 38-17 win. In his return from a hamstring injury he suffered in week two, Bush added 116 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. It was Bush’s second game this year with over 100 yards on the ground — he rushed for 139 yards against Kent State in the season-opener on 21

carries. No Illinois quarterback has had multiple 100yard rushing performances since 2008, when Juice Williams had two. Coming in as the No. 18 rushing offense in the country at 243.5 yards per game, the Illini were expected to attack Rutgers (No. 109 rushing defense, 208.8 yards per game) on the ground. Bush went to the air only 18 times and the Illini controlled the game for most of the way, despite a brief 10-7 Rutgers lead in the first quarter.
PAS SI N G GA M E H AS RO OM FOR I M P ROVE M E N T The Illinois coaching staff was glad to have graduate transfer Bush back running the offense, but it likely won’t be satisfied with the production in the passing game. It’s not all on Bush. His receivers are partly at fault for not making plays on some catchable passes — a dropped deep pass in the end zone by sophomore Carmoni Green comes to mind. But at times throughout the game, Bush was a
tad slow on his release and placement. Perhaps if he had gotten a bit more juice on the pass to Green, he would have had more separation from the defender and come down with what would have been a big touchdown before the half. On another occasion, Bush evidently stared down Sam Mays on a route, and the Rutgers defender was able to close and break up the ensuing pass. Some rust on Bush’s part
is expected; he just missed significant time with an offense he is still developing chemistry with. In the end, Bush brings the Illinois offense more versatility and tools than his true freshman counterpart M.J. Rivers. Bush has the clear advantage in the running game, and that helps open up the run-heavy Illini offense even more. @itsallG_O_O_D gavinrg2@dailyillini.com

Illinois gets series win against Illinois State BY JARED FARMER STAFF WRITER
Sparked by a late thirdquarter rally on Saturday, the Illinois hockey team completed a series sweep against Illinois State this past weekend at the UI Ice Arena. “I think we played well,” said junior Evan Sabo. “We had a few mistakes and our structure wasn’t the best, but everyone was working hard, the energy on the bench was really high and overall it was a good game for us. I think we would’ve liked to put more goals in as a group, but we’ll take what we can get.” Illinois contained Illinois State with some great defensive effort. For much of the first period on Friday, the game remained tightly contested, with neither team scoring in the first 15 minutes. With 4:27 left in the first, senior Stephen Quinn put the Illini up 1-0 while the Redbirds’ Adam Howey was in the penalty box. Twenty seconds later, junior Rick Hatton would score a second goal to put the Illini up 2-0. The Illini would score two more goals in the second and third periods by Sabo and fellow junior Luke Forfar, respectively. Early in the third period, goalie Jake Barnhart made a big save with his glove that kept the Redbirds from getting on the board as the Illini won the match 4-0. The victory marks the second career shutout for Barnhart. “I thought Friday was a pretty good game, but it was still a little sloppy in some
areas,” said head coach Nick Fabbrini. “Even though we shut them out, we gave up a few breakaways and some really good scoring chances that you don’t think you’d give up in a 4-0 win. That really was a big point of emphasis (Saturday) morning.” The Redbirds tightened up on some issues in the rematch. At the 12:08 mark in the first, Illinois was able to get on the scoreboard due to a penalty shot by sophomore Jon Moskaluk and go up 1-0. With multiple players on both sides sent to the penalty box throughout the second half, the Redbirds tied the game 1-1 on a goal by Connor Bosaccey. “A lot of the game consisted of penalties and special teams, so as long as we stayed focused as a team on the penalty kill and power plays throughout the game, we ended up fine,” Sabo said. “We were able to bear down on our chances which was exactly what we needed.” The Illini came out in the third aggressively, but were unable to connect on their shot attempts against goalie Cory Wasilewski throughout the first seven minutes of the period. After a couple of minutes exchanging possessions with the Redbirds, sophomore defender Joe Nolan scored off an assist by sophomore Drew Richter to put Illinois back up 2-1. A few minutes later with 5:21 left in the third, sophomore Thomas Kolaz would ice the game with another goal to put the Illini up 3-1. Richter would score another

what we do,” Fabbrini said. “It’s a 60-minute game. It’s not ‘play for 45 minutes and if that’s not working, go to something else’, so in that sense we did a good job sticking to what we do, play-
ing fast and getting bodies and pucks to the net, and towards the end, it finally paid off.”
of years, where we’ve certainly had a lot of talent but we don’t necessarily have all of the resources that a lot of the other top programs in our league have. It’s really a testament to our guys, their buyin and their belief in what we ask them to do.” While he’s away in Russia, Fabbrini will coach for and against top-level players, many of whom will, are or have been professional hockey players. And even
though he is going to be soaking in every moment, Fabbrini’s top priority is still being head coach for the Illini. “This is my dream job; I love it,” Fabbrini said. “I get to coach at my alma mater and coach guys that, while they’re not gonna be professional hockey players, are gonna be leaders in all different fields.”

na Bangert and coining the school record for career blocks. But for Tamas, Bastianelli’s impact on the program goes beyond just the stats. “Great player, even better person,” Tamas said. “She’s a great teammate, gets it done in the classroom, great student of the game and really has worked to improve her game since I’ve gotten here.” Bastianelli said the record is a reflection of the people she’s played with both in the past and now. Behind her, Illinois held Northwestern to under 20 points in every set, with none of its hitters able to get above a .15 hitting percentage on the night. The Illini were also efficient offensively, putting up a .368 hitting percentage overall, with four Illini picking up five or more kills. Illinois moves to 15-2, 4-2 in conference play, and has its sights set on a rematch against Wisconsin, just 10 days after the Badgers defeated the Illini in the latter of their two-game losing streak.
with a different style. The consistency of tough opponents forces a level of effort Tamas thinks gives the conference an edge during the postseason. “It preps you for having to take practice seriously,” Tamas said. “We’d do that regardless of who we are playing, but it really is that edge; it’s like, ‘Nice win, but we go to Minnesota and play at Wisconsin next week.’” Bastianelli said the losing streak is more of a learning experience than anything else. The Illini had standout performances against Northwestern from their usual cast: Jacqueline Quade led the team with 11 kills, Jordyn Poulter picked up a double-double with 26 assists and 11 digs and Bastianelli put down seven kills to go with five block assists. However, for Bastianelli, the night was anything but the usual fare. Bastianelli picked up her 654th block in her @Binzy_20 career, overtaking Johan- brianb2@dailyillini.com

While Underwood has yet to announce a starting five for the beginning of the year, he did mention that Dosunmu and lead returning scorer Trent Frazier have been matched up in practice. Frazier had a breakout freshman year that saw him transform from a relatively unheralded arrival on campus to becoming the face of the team by Big Ten play, garnering an All-Big Ten freshman nod. “We have very few noncompetitive moments in practice,” Underwood said. “We’ve had some great battles every single day between Trent Frazier and Ayo Dosunmu, and that’s fun to watch.” Frazier said it’s been a learning experience for him. “We learn a lot from each other,” Frazier said. “The thing that stands out to me is how well he defends; his length is challenging for me, we are always getting after it.”

The Illini begin nonconference play with Evansville on Nov. 8, kicking off a schedule that Underwood feels is among the best “in the history of the program.” The Illini will face Georgetown, UNLV, Notre Dame and Mizzou in the nonconference season along with a trip to Maui where they will face Gonzaga and other top programs from around the country. “To have Georgetown come in here, to have UNLV

with the fewest dunks in the Big Ten, Underwood said the new group will add athleticism to the team. Underwood emphasized DaMonte Williams, who is coming off his first healthy offseason in college. “Damonte is a guy that likes to walk around with his shirt off,” Underwood said. “There’s tremendous confidence in that he knows he’s healthy. He’s Above the rim explosive again.” After finishing last year Underwood said Wil-

Minorities take the wheel in ‘Men on Boats’ BY ISABELLE DYER STAFF WRITER
The Station Theatre of Urbana is kicking off its 47th season with its latest production, the gender-bending expedition tale of “Men on Boats.” “Men on Boats” tells the true-ish story of the 1869 expedition of a one-armed captain and nine loyal volunteer sailors navigating the Colorado River to map it for the U.S. government. Most times when we think of the most memorable moments in history, the tales are solely those of men. Female playwright Jaclyn Backhaus aims to shed a light on the absence of women not only from history books, but from the adventures and memorable moments themselves. She wrote that the show be cast with “10 ethnically diverse women, female-identifying, trans-identifying, genderfluid and/or non-gender-fluid conforming people.” Director Latrelle Bright has the same motivations in
putting on “Men on Boats.” She wants to show the hard work of the individuals who haven’t received recognition in all of the great triumphs in history. “Underlying this, as always for me, are the invisibles,” Bright said. “The Native Americans who had already explored these lands, the remnants of the Civil War lingering in the characters who fought in it, the woman and folks of color not given the opportunity for greatness and even the labor of the Chinese men who physically built the Transcontinental Railroad that carried the provisions for Powell’s expedition to the starting point near the Green River, finished just two weeks before they set out. The adventure of these men happened on the backs of many folks.” The Station Theatre has been working for the past five weeks under Bright’s direction to create the show. She has taken her own vision with the staging of the show
and brought it to life with her directing style. “I’m a minimalist at heart when it comes to directing,” Bright said. “In my mind, I begin with everyone in black with black boxes to move around and create environments. Then, I add it what is essential and that’s the jumping off point for designers.” The show includes both modern and historic elements, making it a captivating experience for the audience and portray the story accurately. “This show is then and now, as Jaclyn uses modern vernacular, so there are touches of yesterday and today, tangibles and pantomime,” Bright said. “My focus has been to emulate the sheer energy of both the raging river and the spirited souls who traversed it.” “Men on Boats” opened Oct. 4 and will run until Oct. 20. Tickets are available online at the Station Theatre’s website.

SCENE MAKER PROFILE
CONSTANCE SARANTOS AND RYAN CHOW THE DAILY ILLINI
Kamila Glowacki is a local musician, artist and influential member of the C-U DIY music scene. She plays in bands like Nectar and Kowabunga! Kid. Glowacki is also the creator of the Art Remastered program at the Krannert Art Museum which allows local musicians to create works of music to pair with an artwork in the museum each March.
Kamila Glowacki bridges gap between music, art BY ZOE STEIN STAFF WRITER
Kamila Glowacki has been involved in all things Champaign-Urbana for almost 10 years. “I’ve been living in Champaign-Urbana since 2009. I came here for school, I studied art education and painting in undergrad and I recently just finished my master’s degree in art education, so I’ve been here a while,” Glowacki said. More than academics, though, she’s been involved in the music scene throughout her time here, even after graduation and her time working at the Krannert Art Museum. “Right now I’m working as the education coordinator at the Krannert Art Museum, and I really love the work I’ve been doing there,” Glowacki said. “But also during that time I’ve been very active in the music scene. I was sort
of introduced to it here in 2010 and have been playing in bands ever since.” Her time spent playing music has helped shape her and her career. Since the beginning of her time here, C-U has offered endless opportunities and has given her lasting friendships. “When I first got here I had been writing music .” she said. “When I came to the University of Illinois, I met my current partner who really introduced me to the music scene here, and through that, I was able to meet so many people, make friends and form bands. And that has just led to a whole plethora of other opportunities,” she said. Her first band, Kowabunga! Kid, still exists today, though it isn’t playing as many shows as it did when it was first starting out. She’s also been involved with bands such as Chains Gang, Single Player, La Louve and

Carly Beth. “I’ve sort of dabbled in everything a little bit,” Glowacki said. Indeed, Glowacki’s experiences have given her the chance to work in various genres. Her new project, Nectar, has moved away from punk and more toward a poppunk sound. “I definitely started out more in the punk scene,” Glowacki said. “But I think I’ve moved away from that a little bit as I’ve been focusing more on Nectar. But I definitely have a special place in my heart for that time and genre of music.” While the genre may have changed, there’s no doubt that her time in punk and hardcore bands has influenced Nectar. “I’ve developed a sort of short, quick, to-the-point type of songwriting, especially with Nectar … I think that’s a direct influence from
other music.” The scene has undoubtedly influenced her personally as well. “I also think I’ve just been really inspired by my peers. Seeing my friends write music and being fans of their music pushes me to write and do better. Everyone is so supportive and very encouraging,” she said. Her friends, bandmates and peers, too, have been incredibly important to her over the years, providing encouragement and support. Particularly, her time in La Louve left a great impact on her. “(La Louve) was a really important project to me,” Glowacki said. “It was our first time playing certain instruments, or even being in a band for some, so that was extremely unique to me. It was a very different sort of energy to the band. After we’d write a song or a part that sounded good we’d
literally cheer and be so excited because there was a different sort of sense of accomplishment.” Glowacki is not just a musician—she’s an artist, too. She creates Nectar’s album art, merchandise and more. As both an artist and musician, she values the connection between the two types of mediums. “The album art and the way it’s presented visually has a very direct impact and can really communicate a lot. I give a lot of weight and thought to the visual aspect,” she said. She’s brought this intersection to the Krannert Art Museum, too, with a program called Art Remastered. “I created this new program where I have local musicians come and choose and artwork that inspires them in some way and they create a song in response … and perform it. It’s kind
of playing with that idea of using visual art as a catalyst for songwriting, and also connecting the two creative mediums.” The idea came from the artwork at the museum, and a desire to get more people into the building. “We have so much cool artwork that’s connected to topics and things that are being addressed through the music scene and local musicians,” Glowacki said. “I wanted to get people from the music scene into the museum and make those connections, but I wanted it to be a mutual conversation. It’s been very exciting and representative of the creative community here.” “I love connecting the communities. They’re very near and dear to my heart, so it’s exciting to connect them.” zstein3@readbuzz.com
