Dads boost Illini victory

Dating apps examine racial stigmas BY YOOJIN SON STAFF WRITER

A University professor is researching racialized sexual discrimination across dating apps, such as Grindr and Tinder, toward gay or bisexual black men based on stigmas surrounding their identities. While this phenomenon is understood within LGBTQ communities, Ryan Wade, lead researcher and assistant professor in social work, said it has not been widely studied, and this research will be breaking new grounds. “It’s been kind of a part of the popular discourse within LGBTQ communities for some time, but there’s not a lot of empirical research on it,” Wade said. From this research, Wade hopes to provide preliminary evidence linking experiences of racialized sexual discrimination to adverse psychological health outcomes. The study looks at self-worth and depressive symptoms among black bisexual or gay men ages 18 to 29. To identify and define the constructs of how racialized sexual discrimination manifests, focus groups were conducted to gather shared experiences and conclude a hypothetical four-domain structure. The four domains are exclusion due to race or ethnicity, rejection explicitly based on race, degrada-

Grant aids aging with disabilities BY CLARE BUDIN STAFF WRITER

Nicole Principe, senior in ACES and public relations chair of IWCC, said flies can land on animals and bury their eggs deep in the animals fur. “It actually works really well in kind of scraping off dirt and these egg larvae off these animals because the bristles on the brush are so close together,” Principe said. “It’s really good at

A group of researchers at the University is working to help those who are aging with disabilities maintain their independence using technologies that are commonly associated with the younger population. The research is made possible by a five-year, $4.6 million grant from the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research and is in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology. The grant will be put toward research at TechSAge, a University research center focused on the development of advanced technology to promote aging in place, or allowing those independently living in a residence of their choice to stay in that residence for as long as possible. The research team is led by Wendy Rogers, project director of TechSAge and professor in AHS. Rogers said while nearly everyone will experience certain health issues that may limit mobility or accessibility as they age, those with pre-existing and permanent health conditions face unique challenges that need to be adequately addressed. “As these individuals

The Women’s Glee Club fall concert on Sunday, titled “Nevertheless, She Persisted,” will focus on women’s rights and gender equality, which was inspired by the issues the choir has experienced. Elizabeth Zarley, junior in FAA and president of the Women’s Glee Club, said the organization feels pressured to work harder in order to get the same level of attention as its male counterparts. “The Women’s Glee Club faces what society puts on us,” Zarley said. These issues are what motivated Andrea Solya, Women’s Glee Club director, and the choir to create a concert based on women’s rights and equality. “This semester specifically, we are more so talking about women’s rights, so it’s more specifically focused more toward that,” said Julia Welle, junior in FAA and member of the Women’s Glee Club. “We do have a lot of music that’s just talking about rising up and being able to be part of society a little bit, and it’s a lot about giving ourselves voices in society.” Zarley and Solya agree the Women’s Glee Club is not as appreciated for its

Mascara wands are collected by students in Illini Wildlife and Conservation Club to help clean small and baby animals.

Mascara wands help wildlife BY XIN DING STAFF WRITER

While mascara is most commonly associated with cosmetic use, the Illini Wildlife and Conservation Club has found a different purpose for used mascara wands. Mascara wands can be used to clean dirt, bugs and larvae eggs off the fur of small and baby animals, such as kittens and ducklings. The organization has been collecting mascara wands since October to donate them to the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge, an organization that provides care for injured and

IWCC is an organization in ACES that allows students who are interested in wildlife care, conservation and veterinary medicine to learn about animal sciences. Elisa Schwertfeger, senior in ACES and the philanthropy chair of IWCC, said they chose to work with the refuge because it allows students to help animals without having to give money. “In a college campus, nobody wants to spend money. So if we say, ‘Can you donate your old mascara wands?’ There (are)

The University is participating in the Big Ten Voting Challenge, in which universities are competing to get the most students to vote in the Tuesday midterm election. The challenge is being conducted by the Association of Big Ten Students and has already registered over 32,000 students to vote in this midterm election through the campaign. Efforts at the University are being carried out by the Illinois Student Government. The purpose of the Big Ten Voting Challenge is to drive civic engagement by getting students out to vote and to drive competition between schools in the Big Ten conference, said Kirsten Peterson, junior in LAS and co-chair of the ISG Get Out the Vote task force. Peterson hopes the creation of the task force and other new events will help increase voter turnout at the University and give it a better shot at success in the challenge.

“Illinois, historically, has not done very well in these competitions,” she said. Since the competition between Big Ten schools in academics and sports is high, Peterson thinks it is a good idea to reallocate that competitive nature to things such as civic engagement and voting. “Our age demographic tends to be the ones that don’t participate and that don’t turn out the most,” Peterson said. According to the challenge’s website, trophies will be given out to two universities for the highest eligible voter turnout and the most improved turnout, respectively. Peterson said her main goal for the University is to receive the trophy for most improved in voter turnout. Rahul Raju, senior in Engineering and co-chair of the task force, said votes are being tabulated after elections through the National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement at Tufts University. Raju said although ISG has committed significant

To make the University more competitive with other school efforts, Raju said he and others have plans to adopt some of the effective tools used by Big Ten peers. “This can’t just be an

picking up that small stuff that a normal brush can’t get. It’s really gentle for these little animals.” Juliette Nye, senior in ACES and president of IWCC, said the cleaning process is very important because it helps prevent infection that could be transmitted to other animals. Schwertfeger said IWCC chose October because students might use more makeup and mascara for Halloween parties. The organization has a total of 11 collection boxes on campus located in areas where people frequent and where networking events are commonly held, such as the 4-H House and St. John’s Catholic Newman Center. The organization is aiming to collect 100 mascara wands, Nye said. As of Friday, it has collected about 60 wands. “Using these mascara wands is a cool way to reuse stuff that we already have in our house instead of throwing it away, (and it ends) up being more plastic in our landfills and stuff like that,” Principe said. “So it’s cool that (it) helps animals in a lot of different ways.”

Solya also said the problems persist outside of the Women’s Glee Club. She said the mixed choirs are more popular than the Women’s Glee Club because men are a part of those choirs. However, at the same time, Solya said, society’s treatment of women has been improving over time, and she sees the concert as a way of promoting this better treatment. “Our concert will also showcase music with advice for all people,” said Rowan Ownby, junior in FAA and member of the Women’s Glee Club. “The message it’s based off of is to rise up and be the best you can be,” she said.

Phone scams target international students BY HONGBIN JEONG STAFF WRITER

International Student and Scholar Ser vices sent out an email recently informing its recipients that a large number of international students have been targeted by phone scammers in the past two weeks. Craig Stone, executive director of public safety and chief of police at the University, said a University student received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Chinese Consulate, who told her she would be arrested if she didn’t wire the caller $30,000. The student followed through with the wire transfer only to realize she had fallen victim to a phone scam. The student’s identity has not been made public as investigations are ongoing. The email from ISSS said the callers pretend to be from government agencies and attempt to scare their victims, lying that their immigration status

or ability to remain in the U.S. would be in jeopardy unless they pay a large sum of money. Stephanie Dvorachek, associate director of ISSS, declined to further comment in an email because the relevant information is private and anecdotal in nature. Two phone scam incidents targeting international students had been reported to the University’s Police Department, but Stone said the cities of Champaign and Urbana could have received reports as well. Stone said the email was necessary to make sure students know how to take precautions to protect themselves from phone scams. “We find people are targeting students,” he said. “They’re vulnerable and may not be aware that people are using false pretenses to try to get their personal information.” International students are more likely to fall victim to phone scams because

they could receive calls from scammers pretending to be a representative of their consulate and threatening deportation if money is not wired, Stone said. “The consulate is here to help students and be an advocate for the students,” he said. Oscar Chen, senior in Computer Science and Chinese international student, has had two incidents with phone scammers, but did not report them because he recognized that they were scams. Chen said his passport was expiring when he received his first call, which almost caused him to fall victim to the scam. “I soon realized that they were not who they claimed to be because they claimed they were the Houston general consulate. But from where I am, if there was to be a call from the consulate, it should be from Chicago, not from Houston,” Chen said. Chen said he hung up the phone call after the alleged Houston general consulate

Tips to keep in mind when dealing with unknown callers: 1. Maintain a healthy skepticism of callers who claim to be a government official. 2. Government officials — including tax or immigration officials — will never ask you for money over the phone. 3. If you feel unsure about a caller’s identity, you should hang up and call the listed number for that agency to verify the caller’s identity. 4. If you are still unsure, hang up and call police for advice. A legitimate government official will never try to discourage you from taking steps to verify their identity.

GRANT age, they experience agerelated changes in vision, hearing, mobility, cognition and speed of processing,” Rogers said in an email. “They may also have to manage chronic conditions such as hypertension, arthritis, heart disease and diabetes. Consequently, everyday tasks may become more challenging and additional supports may be needed.” One project is focused on the development of an app that evaluates and mitigates fall risk among elderly populations, which is a huge cause of death and injury, especially among those with preexisting mobility issues. “One of the projects actu-

ally looks at the ability to use a smartphone to measure fall risk in older adults who utilize wheelchairs,” said Jacob Sosnoff, team member and professor in AHS. “We can use the sensors embedded in the phones during tests to measure their fall risk, and then we make recommendations based on that prediction.” Sosnoff said most of the projects that are part of the grant involve taking technology that has been designed for younger, healthier populations and making it more usable and accessible for older populations with disabilities. “Often what happens is technology is used and made for younger generations, and we inadvertently leave people out of using it, so we’re

trying to overcome those barriers and make sure that the technology people develop and design is suitable for a wide range of people,” Sosnoff said. Another member of the research team is Kesh Kesavadas, professor in Engineering and director of the Health Care Engineering Systems Center. “The center’s interest is looking at voice-activated systems and social robots to help those with disabilities who are hoping to continue independent living,” Kesavadas said. One of Kesavadas’ main projects is a sensor system that connects patients’ vitals, such as blood sugar levels and heart rates, to an iPad, allowing them to be easily tracked and read

asked him to provide information that they should already know, such as his name and his location. In the second incident, the caller claimed to be from a shipping company and said Chinese customs had intercepted a suspicious package from Chen, full of fake passports and fake credit cards. They said that if he did not cooperate with them, he would be facing deportation, Chen said. Scammers may try to get student’s date of birth, social security number and bank account information, Stone said. “They say that ‘oh you’re going to get arrested’, or you owe taxes, or just making up fake claims to try to get you to have empathy or sympathy with these people and thinking that you are really in trouble, or they’re in trouble and you need to help them,” Stone said. “But it’s totally false.” Another way scammers attempt to get money is by encouraging their victims to go to CVS or Walgreens to buy gift cards for them, Stone said. Students and scholars should hang up the phone immediately and not engage in the conversation if they receive this type of phone call, he said. UINs, social security numbers, bank account and other personal information should be protected by students, Stone said. “Protect that information, and don’t let that information out,” he said. hbjeong2@dailyillini.com

by patients and their doctor. He said the projects are able to bring ideas on modern usability and accessibility to life. “While people on the public health side are more interested in usability, like how people use technology and how they would adjust to more innovation, people in engineering and controls are more interested in what algorithms and data can get systems to work and to be intelligent and safe,” Kesavadas said. The researchers from the team are spread across multiple disciplines, with professors collaborating from the fields of engineering, computer science, biostatistics, kinesiology and community health to address different accessibility concerns.

ponent of dating apps is an aspect to which Wade attributes the larger manifestation of racialized sexual discrimination online compared to in-person interactions. “The difference is like we walk into a gay bar you don’t see people wearing T-shirts saying ‘not into black guys,’” Wade said. “But if you are on Grindr you see these profiles.” Grindr, a popular dating app for men in the LGBTQ community, has recently established an initiative to combat racialized sexual discrimination named Kindr. “We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment and abusive behavior,” Grindr’s Community Guidelines states. “Anyone found bullying, threatening or defaming another user will be banned.” Kindr encourages users to police profiles and report users breaking the Community Guidelines. The initiative provides informative videos on its website to start a conversation on discriminations such as racialized sexual discrimination. Ratliff said he thinks initiatives such as Kindr should be promoted and seen by more people. “They’ve been starting a conversation that has needed to be started for a while now about racial preferences, about trans shaming, about femme shaming, about body shaming and all this stuff that happens on Grindr where if they’re not white, muscular, masculine, making them feel like they’re less than or they’re not as attractive,” Ratliff said. “All that needs to stop.”

tion by making a denigrating comment based on racial or ethnic group in profiles and eroticization of a certain race or ethnicity based on stereotypes, which is broken down into the categories of physical characteristics and assumptions. “People assume that because you are of a certain race (or) gender identity background you will assume a certain role in sexual activity,” Wade said. Darius Greenleaf, firstyear graduate student in architecture who identifies as a gay black man, said he sees erotic objectification on dating apps a lot. “I mean of course that’s inappropriate, but at the same time, it’s known and it’s been a thing for sure,” Greenleaf said. Jordan Ratliff, sophomore in FAA who identifies as a gay black man, has also experienced erotic objectification when using dating apps stated as a personal preference in profiles. “As a man who is African-American, you’re usually either discriminated against or fetishized,” Ratliff said. Wade investigated racialized sexual discrimination in a series of focus groups and through an online study including a sample of nearly 2,000 black gay or bisexual men. The results of the online study and findings from focus groups are being further analyzed to study the psychological effects of racialized sexual discrimination when using dating apps. The anonymity com- yjson2@dailyillini.com Rogers said research naturally becomes more wellrounded with a team that can bring multiple perspectives to the table. “The kinesiology and community health members of the team take a person-centered focus in the design,” Rogers said. “This perspective complements the engineers’ focus on the device, product, or system characteristics. This results in a strong interdisciplinary approach in our research and development efforts.” Sosnoff shared Rogers’ view on the importance of interdisciplinary research. “Something I tell my students often is, more or less, all the simple projects have gotten solved, so just having basic knowledge of our own field isn’t going to solve

the problem,” Sosnoff said. “We need to work with these experts in engineering and computer science to better inform our research and give it greater impact.” Despite the groundbreaking work that will be performed at the center, Rogers said there will still be work to be done in the future to provide more accessibility to this specific demographic. “Our initial research suggests that this segment of the population continues to face challenges in their everyday activities,” Rogers said. “Ideally in 10 years we will have made advancements in accessibility that enable aging in place and full participation in society for everyone.” claredb2@dailyillini.com

Parties encourage students to vote by location BY JOSE ZEPEDA

STAFF WRITER

For the midterm election Tuesday, University students have the option of voting using their Champaign County address or their hometown address; however, there are different considerations as to where students should cast votes. The number of students voting as Champaign County residents varies per election, ranging anywhere from a couple hundred to as many as 15,000 students, said Gordy Hulten, Republican candidate for County Executive and incumbent County Clerk. Maryam Ar-Raheem, chair of the Champaign County Democrats, said in an email that Champaign County is evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. “In the 2018 primary, however, Democratic ballots outnumbered Republican ballots by nearly 5,000, with a voter turnout of 26 percent,” ArRaheem said. “In contrast, the 2014 primary had voter turnout of 21 percent, and Republican ballots exceeded Democratic ballots by more than 6,000.” If students’ hometowns are located in less competitive districts, Ar-Raheem believes their votes may have more of an impact in Champaign, where the 13th Congressional District election is unusually competitive. Though students can vote either in Champaign or in their hometowns, ArRaheem said students should vote as Champaign County residents. “Students spend at least nine months of the year in Champaign County,” ArRaheem said. “By voting here, they have a say in local policies and the selection of local and county leaders — as well as selection of legislative, state and federal elect-

ed officials — that affect their lives and livelihood on a daily basis.” However, Mark Ballard, chairman of the Champaign County Republicans, said he believes University students should vote as residents of their hometown because they have deeper roots where they’re from. He also said students tend

to know their hometown much better than Champaign-Urbana, so they have a better chance of knowing the candidates back home than the candidates in Champaign County. As the Nov. 6 Election Day approaches, students still have an opportunity to register to vote. “At this point, the only

option left for students to vote in Champaign County, if they haven’t already registered, is to take advantage of what is called grace period registration and voting, also sometimes called same-day registration,” Hulten said. Same-day registration allows voters with a photo ID to register on-site at their voting location.

Hulten said same-day registration occurs all day at early voting locations and Election Day voting locations until the polls close at 7 p.m. Hulten said voters can find their registration information, sample ballots and polling places on the Champaign County Clerk website. Voters can visit the Champaign County Democrats’ and

Champaign County Republicans’ websites to learn more about the respective candidates running for office at the state and county levels. “We’re friendly,” said Rhonda Wrona, volunteer at Champaign County Republicans. “We want to help people.” jzeped4@dailyillini.com

Political correctness ruins free expression ELLEN BARCZAK COLUMNIST

eople hate honesty. They also don’t seem to care for freedom of speech. Don’t agree with me? Take a look at NBC’s recent firing of Today Show host Megyn Kelly for making racist remarks concerning Halloween costumes. Kelly, during a conversation about the evermore stringent politically correct rules for costumes, discussed how blackface was acceptable when she was young and defended Luann de Lesseps from “The Real Housewives of New York City” for dressing as Diana Ross for Halloween. “When I was a kid, that was OK as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character,” Kelly commented. Blackface is not cool. It’s classless, distasteful and offensive. But Kelly was not saying she wanted to do blackface for Halloween; she was merely defending one’s right to dress as they wish, however offensive. In another portion of the segment, Kelly mentioned the University of Kent has proposed a ban on certain costumes, including that of a cowboy, claiming they only enforce offensive stereotypes. Kent also provides a list of acceptable costume ideas including, get this: letters of the alphabet. “Isn’t the whole purpose of Halloween to dress up and pretend you are something other than yourself?” Kelly remarked. Most people have a sense of what is right and

what is wrong, what is nice and what is mean, and they will usually choose the right, nice option. But if they don’t want to, they don’t have to. In other words, if you want to dress up as a racist idiot, that’s your prerogative. And it’s everyone else’s prerogative to say you look like a racist idiot. I looked up a picture of Luann from “The Real

Housewives of New York City” as Diana Ross, for which she was forced to make a public apology. She looked like she put on too much fake tan. If that’s blackface, it looks like a lot of fake-tanned white people need to make public apologies. I’m afraid the people who criticize Kelly have taken her remarks out of context, for they seem to

Combat seasonal depression KAITLYN MCCANN COLUMNIST

he time is here again; it’s fall and the sun is gone. For those of us who are not October lovers or “spooky season” enthusiasts, this only calls for a lack of vitamin D and a lack of positivity. Since most of you wanted it so badly and wished summer away, let’s see these winter outfits you’ve been preparing. For the rest of us, myself included, the only clothes we want to put on in the fall are sweats. At least during the summer, I could easily make comfy look cute. During this time of year, there seems to be a dramatic shift. This could be in sleeping patterns, the music we listen to, motivation, overall mood or worst of all: the switch from iced coffee to hot coffee. This can’t be a coincidence. There is a significant divide in the people who thrive in the winter months and the people who thrive in the summer months. I feel consistently happy in the summer. I feel healthier, more beautiful, more confident and more relaxed. At the end of the day, no matter how bad things could be going, how upset can you really be, considering it’s summer? The lack of sunshine during this time of year is something that can have a major effect on students here at the University, especially as coursework and exams seem endless. It may be difficult for some to understand, but the feeling of being constantly cold directly upsets me. It makes me not want to leave my bed. It makes me want to spend the entire day in a hot shower. There

is nothing nice about looking out of your window at 5 p.m. only to see pitch black. When considering how poorly lit our dorm rooms are, this is a major bummer. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a feeling of sadness that appears with the coming and going of seasons. This often sucks energy out of people and can greatly hinder productivity. One way to tell if you’re affected by SAD is if you generally feel “off” throughout the colder months. This includes feeling lonely, gaining weight, having difficulty concentrating or even losing interest in normal activities. For students who are not used to the freezing Illinois weather (maybe if you’ve come here for college from somewhere warm), this could be a feeling you’ve never felt before. But seasonal depression can be combated in some unconventional ways. First of all, something that seems obvious: Wear the warmest clothes possible. Being a bit hot in your class is so worth not being ter-

ribly cold on the walk over; plus, you could always just take off the layers as needed. Really, if you need to give up your cute fall outfit to wear a hoodie, do it. Drinking warm drinks also helps a ton. Whether you’re a coffee or tea person, having something warm in your stomach is always a good feeling. And if you’re like me — my hands become ice cold even if it's only slightly chilly outside — try to keep some hand warmers nearby. For more severe cases, purchasing lamps that emulate sunlight can work wonders. More commonly known as “happy lights,” these lamps are supposed to provide the light that is so minimal during wintertime. When battling sadness in the colder months, just know it is normal and your emotions are valid. It’s always easier said than done, but try to power through and stay productive. Before you know it, summer will be just around the corner again. Kaitlyn is a freshman in Media. kmccann3@dailyillini.com

est to make a bigger deal out of this segment than was necessary; not to mention the credit the show earn from the easily offended crowd. Megyn Kelly is unapologetically honest, a quality few value today. She didn’t just smile, nod and agree with what people told her to think and do. She was fired for questioning it and being honest about her feelings. She was fired because her feelings weren’t the right feelings. This hypocrisy is frankly repugnant in a crowd so focused on protecting the feelings of … everyone? Excluding Megyn Kelly, of course, as she doesn’t agree with them. Kelly has since given a tearful, heartfelt apology for the honesty that has offended so many, saying that she was wrong and has learned something from this situation. In the original segment, Kelly asked, “What is racist?” Her question was answered with termination. Failing to be politically correct may not only result in people not liking you. It might cause you to lose your job, to be publicly disgraced, to lose everything for which you have worked so hard. Even trying to understand why something “needs” to be politically correct, as was the case with Megyn Kelly, is cause enough for your downfall. Freedom of speech is dead. Let’s celebrate and dress up as letters of the alphabet.

University needs to allocate spending better WILHELM HULTIN COLUMNIST

uring the introductory talk for all exchange students arranged by the University, an officer from the University of Illinois Police Department walked on stage. He told us the department is strict on jaywalking, definitely doesn’t permit any smoking on campus and constantly looks for underage drinking. On the University’s website, it states, “Individuals found to be noncompliant with this policy will be subject to a system of fines, sanctions, and an appeals process as set forth on the Smoke-Free Campus website.” The officer was quick to remind us of this. America, and the University, is “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Or so I thought. Upholding all these bureaucratic rules is extremely expensive, and some of these costs are unnecessary. Every time I see a University police car speeding down the streets with its sirens on, I can’t help but think the police received an anonymous tip of a jaywalker. This all boils down to a larger issue, however. The University spends enormous sums of money on campus life, which in turn is reflected in the fees it charges its students. The cost of educating yourself in the U.S. prevents a decent chunk of the population from becoming educated as it’s simply too expensive. According to a 2018

report by the Lumina Foundation, only one-third of Americans have a bachelor’s degree. At the same time, people with a university degree “earn more; they also vote more, are healthier, are more likely to marry and have higher levels of social trust” than those who don’t, according to a 2015 article by Forbes. Regarding this information, one would presume keeping educational costs to a minimum would be a societal priority. There are, however, many aspects of life here at the University that do not live up to this expectation. A few examples range from the University’s funding of the ARC, fireworks at football games or the Krannert Art Museum. Out of the University’s budget for the 2019 fiscal year, $7,852,000 goes toward funding the various activities of The Division of Public Safety — the UIPD. Very well, you may say. These funds help keep us safe. However, the UIPD is also responsible for upholding the University’s tobacco ban policy. By itself, the tobacco ban doesn’t make for a costly project, but employing police officers to chase after teenagers who smoke isn’t exactly a sound economic investment to me. Moreover, this reflects a bigger problem at hand— the University spends money on irrelevant luxuries instead of focusing on education and making it available to more people. If just one more student could be enrolled at the University solely because some rules were dropped, wouldn’t it be worth it? When I first received the introductory emails

from Chancellor Robert Jones concerning the University’s tobacco policy, I laughed. Loudly. In the two months I’ve been here, it’s fair to say my idea of how life in America would be was slightly different from how it is in reality. However, never in my wildest dreams did I think that in the same country Clint Eastwood roamed with a revolver, I’d be forced to hide in a dark alley like a 15-year-old to smoke. In Sweden, 18-yearolds are allowed to smoke and drink. There, I also wouldn’t have access to a gym via the University — or have five police officers watching my back at all times — but to me, it’s worth it, especially since it keeps the University’s expenditures down. In Sweden, the country also pays your tuition. To make that possible, it has to cut down on unnecessary expenditures to make room for necessary ones. There is much more to freedom than simply being able to smoke, of course, because there is also the aspect of social freedom or “mobility” as well. Since people are guaranteed a university education, if they have sufficient grades, the country’s population has greater social mobility than Americans do. The tobacco ban policy serves as a perfect example of the sometimes-misguided economic priorities of an American university keeping down mobility. With all this in mind, would you still say America is the “Land of the Free”? I think not. Wilhelm is a junior in LAS. whultin2@dailyillini.com

Course aims to raise HIV/AIDS awareness promises that are just as easy to forget as they are to make. In addition to his letter, Berg is going to be volunteering at the awareness event on Friday. Berg talked about how learning about diseases is not just a medical concern. “Beyond the public health side of it,” he said, “there’s a lot of focus on stigma and discrimination and how that influences how disease spreads.” The groups are hoping they can start a conversation on campus about this pandemic. Buckley said the U.S. still has over 40,000 new cases of HIV infection every year. Simons said the young adult population is most susceptible to getting HIV/AIDS. Part of this project is to destigmatize condoms and discussions about STIs. Buckley said it is really just another health decision that people need to make. “You brush your teeth, right?” Buckley said. “If you choose to be sexually active, there are also safe health procedures you can follow and you should consider.” Berg said while they are hoping to make a splash and reach a lot of students, if they can educate and influence just one person, it will be a success. The class spends a lot of time talking about how those already at a disadvantage within society are more susceptible to diseases. Berg wants to draw attention to this problem through this event. “Once people start talking, stigma and discrimination erode,” he said. “They disappear because people are actually willing to talk about it.”

Kaitlyn Simons, freshman in LAS, and each member of her group project have been going to McKinley Health Center and collecting a package of condoms every two weeks. This is part of a project to fulfill the “external engagement” requirement of their class, GCL 146: Fundamental Causes of Disease: The HIV/AIDS Pandemic. The end of the project will result in an event Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Main Quad to raise awareness of the disease. Simons said she took the class because there’s generally a lot of confusion surrounding this topic. “People don’t really have a solid idea of what HIV/ AIDS is, the groups that are affected by HIV/AIDS, how it’s spread,” Simons said. This class was developed for several years by sociology professor Cynthia Buckley. Buckley created the undergraduate course while she was a professor at the University of Texas, Austin. When she came to the University, she wanted to try teaching it again. Buckley taught it first as a topics course in sociology. She was then invited to teach it as part of the vice provost’s Grand Challenge Learning Initiative. This initiative was designed to revitalize and re-envision undergraduate education, Buckley said. As a result, the class is capped at 25 freshmen. Buckley said she strays away from exams and focuses on experiential learning. The class is also interdisciplinary, with students pursuing engineering, medical school, law school, history and more, according to Buckley.

The class looks at HIV/AIDS using Buckley ’s sociology background. It looks at transmission, different strands of HIV and geographical spread as well as the fundamental causes of disease. “We are really focused on how the HIV/AIDS pandemic shows us how social factors are the real drivers in international pandemics,” Buckley said. An important part of the course is the external engagement requirement. This a ssig nment requires students to bring the knowledge they gain from this class into their communities, whether they be local, national or global. “It’s the idea of taking

t h e knowledge gained and making it of use to the larger community,” Buckley said. Students have several options to get involved. They can volunteer for organizations working to raise awareness of HIV/ AIDS. Some students write op-eds to raise awareness. This year, three groups of students are working together to host an event on the quad. One group will be hosting a bake sale to raise money

f o r an A IDS orphan school in Uganda. Another group will be having a trivia quiz on information regarding HIV/ AIDS with small prizes. The final group, Simons’ group, will be passing out free condoms to which they attached facts about HIV/ AIDS and safe sex. The three projects are supposed to raise awareness for three different areas of the issue. The bake sale brings attention to the global

issues and the scale of the pandemic, the triv ia qu i z raises knowledge about how the disease can affect communities at home and the condom distribution directly interacts with students to make them aware of their resources and how they can be taking steps to protect themselves from this disease. Aidan Berg, freshman in AHS, is volunteering for this event. For his actual project, he decided he would write a letter to JB Pritzker. He said Pritzker has made several campaign promises regarding HIV/ AIDS and LGBTQ youth, but he thinks those are eis3@dailyillini.com

home, and they need that money,” Guerra-Pérez said. While the Latinx Resilience Program has shown much growth throughout the past four years, all three leaders of the program believe there is room for improvement in various aspects. “The program could be replicated through other services that we provide on campus,” Guerra-Pérez said. “Being conscious about the group that you’re work-

ing with helps to provide a different workshop so that the students don’t feel that the speaker is not actually speaking to them.” Along with this, Guerra-Pérez feels it is important to educate the campus as a whole on how mental health is viewed differently by various communities in order to create a culture of understanding. Gómez addressed the importance of advocacy work from everyone around

campus. “I always try to push individuals to be part of the community in the sense that they can definitely identify as allies and not necessarily part of the culture directly,” Gómez said. “You don’t have to identify as Latinx or Latino/Latina to talk about these issues.” Gómez also likes to participate in outreach efforts in all areas, including outreach for African American and international students

as well as other marginalized populations. “By reaching out to other populations, we can realize that mental health issues are something that all students, regardless of race and ethnicity, deal with,” Rodriguez said. Overall, most of the leaders in the Latinx Resilience Network agree that a change in mentality regarding social justice and mental health should occur, as they are essentially one and the same.

Gómez explained that when working with students, social justice is always relevant, especially in today’s political climate. “It is rewarding to know that we were part of their journey here,” Gómez said. “To hopefully have influenced them for the better and lent a certain part of their success and their story of being able to graduate after four years.” abarba9@dailyillini.com

Program launches peer-modeled support group Latinx Resilience Network aids students in improving mental health BY ALICIA BARBAS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Latinx Resilience Network, founded in 2014, provides resources for Latinx students in many areas of their lives. With a rise in mental health awareness in the University population, the network has decided to start implementing workshops that focus on Latinx mental health. Assistant Vice Chancellor of Diversity and Academic Inclusive Excellence Dr. Gioconda Guerra-Pérez was previously interim director of La Casa Cultural Latina. Guerra-Pérez defined the goal of these workshops and the Latinx Resilience Program as tackling mental health in the sense of educating students about the issue. “It is important that they learn to identify that some of the things they were going through and some of the experiences they were having were actually related to mental health, and there is nothing wrong with them,” Guerra-Pérez said. “Things like stress, anxiety, not sleeping; they were impacting them in their academic success.” Dr. Alicia P. Rodriguez, academic adviser and administrative coordinator for the Department of Latino/a Studies and one of the founders of the Latinx Resilience Network, said the resources provided at the time were not doing enough for students. So, she and her colleagues decided to build a peermodeled network, with students themselves being creators and facilitators of the dialogue on mental health issues. “We started out with a class that we offered in the spring of 2013 on Latino mental health and resilience, and then it was offered every spring,” Rodriguez said. The program soon evolved into workshops that aid students in understanding mental health issues. “Students are not trained to be counselors,” Rodriguez said. “That’s not the point. Students are trained to learn about mental health issues and to be resources for other students and guides to the Counseling Center.” In terms of the Latinx Resilience Network initiatives, Guerra-Pérez said within the four years the program has been in place, there have been some very

successful workshops. During the week before finals last December, the Latinx Resilience Network created a workshop with animals to show how to use them as a “source of comfort” while under stress, Guerra-Pérez said. “We had to move the workshop that was originally at La Casa because on Facebook, around 200 (students) said they were interested and around 100 actually said they were attending,” Guerra-Pérez said. This has been one of the most well-attended workshops of the program. “We also bring people from NYU or the University of Chicago to speak because these are well-recognized scholars in this area, which brings people to come learn about their experiences,” Guerra-Pérez said. Alejandro Gómez, clinical counselor, assistant director and Latina/o outreach chair at the Counseling Center said the idea of the program was to foster Latinx success and retention on campus. Aside from hosting hours at La Casa, Gómez is frequently involved in outreach efforts and helps coordinate some of these workshops.

“We have multiple outreach and prevention teams here at the Counseling Center that can collaborate with one another and approach us to present on a topic like eating disorders and awareness of alcohol and other drugs in the Latinx community,” Gómez said. One of Gómez’s most recent workshops was called “Healthy Relationships” and took place at La Casa’s “Lunch and Learn” Thursday series, which Gómez said focused on healthy relationships in general and how they are applicable within the Latinx community. For this specific workshop, multiple mental health outreach groups collaborated to provide a well-rounded perspective on the topic. “My colleague, whose specialty is trauma, came at it more from the trauma and relationship aspects of the topic, while I came more from the Latinx perspective of it,” Gómez said. Gómez further explained the roles of students in developing and maintaining the program. There are student workers at La Casa who lead workshops, as well as student ambassadors at the Coun-

seling Center, in the form of graduate assistants or counseling paraprofessionals, Gómez said. “What’s really nice about it was it built a community of self-care where students were looking out for each other very intentionally and very openly,” Rodriguez said. There is also a certificate available to students that requires them to attend at least four workshops throughout the year, providing good incentives for individuals to receive that kind of education, Gómez explained. A reason these workshops have been encouraged and successful is because the Latinx community faces many specific challenges that have the potential to negatively impact their physical and mental well-being. “In terms of culture, the way we see these things is not so much a taboo, but we just don’t talk about them,” Guerra-Pérez said. “Because of our resilience, because we have been able to accomplish so much, how is it that stress is going to keep us from going?” “We’re very family-oriented and we’re very tight-

knit in terms of especially mental health issues,” Gómez said when discussing the Latinx community as a whole. “Family members will usually say, ‘Don’t share your business with anybody else outside of the family, use prayers, use clergy to take care of your issues instead of mental health professionals.’” “What happens in these cases is that students don’t seek out mental help when they need it,” Rodriguez said. For this reason, the leaders of the program, who also understand these limitations, try to encourage seeking out available resources. Along with these cultural issues, Gómez said another important focus is the

increasing number of Latinx students being accepted into STEM programs, who can feel isolated because there are not a large number of other Latinx students in these programs. Rodriguez said students can feel a lack of self-belonging because of issues brought up on campus, including anti-immigrant sentiment. “Undocumented students are affected at probably a different level than the regular population when it comes to stress and anxiety,” Guerra-Pérez said. “That fear of deportation, that fear of being detained, that fear of being sent back to a country that they might not know because they have been here SEE LA CASA | 7A

Illini bounce back strong against Gophers BY TATIANIA PERRY STAFF WRITER

Illinois broke its threegame losing streak with a home win against Minnesota to push its record to 4-5. The 55-31 victory started off hot on offense with a 72-yard breakaway touchdown by senior running back Reggie Corbin 39 seconds into the game. Corbin went on to collect 213 rushing yards by the end of the day. He had two 70-plus yard touchdowns, the first Illini to have multiple runs of such distance in a single game since Claude Henry K. (Buddy) Young in 1944. Head coach Lovie Smith described the senior as explosive and a weapon, but as he nears 1,000 total rushing yards for the season, Corbin does nothing but credit his offensive line. “I think (the 1,000 yards) would mean more to the offensive line,” Corbin said. “They don’t get a lot of credit, but they know that when they do that, they did a heck of a job. All I do is run in a straight line, it’s not that hard.” By the end of the first quarter, junior Dre Brown also collected a 72-yard touchdown to contribute to the highest scoring game of Lovie Smith’s time with the team. Following the resignation of defensive coordinator Hardy Nickerson, Smith took over the reigns to call the plays. “You look at the NFL, you look at college ball: there are offensive head coaches that are doing what I’m doing,” Smith said, “I don’t think it’s really that different We all became the head coach based on what we did on one side of the ball.” To start, the defense had a bit of trouble stopping the runs but quickly filled the gaps and stayed on its assignments. After a few mishaps in the beginning, Illinois started to look much more competent and together than it has for the bulk of the season.

play was overturned. The ruling on the field was an incomplete pass. “I was already tired,” Phillips said. “There was no way I was going back out there to play, but the defense did it

Feliz, Frazier lead exhibition BY JAKE HASAN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR FOR ON-AIR

It may have been just an exhibition game, but the Illinois basketball team did not take Illinois Wesleyan lightly on Friday night, winning the contest 83-67 with strong performances from its newcomers. Junior college transfer Andres Feliz made an impressive debut as an Illini, leading all scorers with 20 points in just 25 minutes. Feliz also tacked on five rebounds, two assists and a steal. The Illini guard came off the bench, but head coach Brad Underwood trusted him with ample court time, as Feliz registered more minutes than everyone except for sophomore guard Trent Frazier and freshman g uard Ayo Dosunmu. “We’ve been working since the summer, and

I think we did pretty good,” Feliz said. “I feel like I'm open for the team. Whatever coach asks me to do, that’s what I’m gonna do.” Frazier picked up right where he left off last season, scoring 19 points, three of which opened the game on a pull-up three-pointer. Frazier had an efficient night, shooting six-of-nine from the field and assisting on five other baskets. One of those assists was a lob to Dosunmu, who finished with a smooth layup. Frazier played his usual brand of basketball, seemingly f ly ing a ll over the court while also drawing most of Wesleyan’s defensive attention. “I tried to get going early so I could put myself in a good position for the team,” Frazier said. “Other than that, my main focus tonight was to try and get

these young guys going.” One of those young guys, star recruit Dosunmu, had a productive night. Drawing the start at point guard, he registered the most court time of any player at 29 minutes. Dosunmu ended the first half having shot just threeof-six from the field with six points but ended the contest six-for-10, scoring 13 points. The freshman only registered one assist and one rebound, but he was still active on the court with four steals. The star of the night, though, was freshman center Giorgi Bezhanishvili who started against the Titans. Bezhanishv ili had nine points by the end of the night, with both of his buckets being three-pointers. The freshman quickly became a fan favorite. SEE EXHIBITION | 3B

The Illinois Hockey team traded wins aghinst Robert Morris at the Big Pond over the weekend. Coming off two losses against Lindenwood, the recovering Illini squad

CROSS COUNTRY

Unified training produces breakthrough season for women’s team BY ASHLEIGH LEFEVRE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Illinois women’s cross country team has had a turnaround season — it finished in the top 5 every meet except for the Big Ten Championships last week. The stats speak for themselves, and the women have seen a steep rise in their USTFCCCA Midwest regional rankings from 24th last season to a ninth-place rank. According to the team, a shift in training could be responsible for this season's improvement.

Team training that focuses on cohesion rather than individual success may be the answer to the Illini’s ability to perform come race day. “This year, there has not been one situation where someone on the team has had to train alone, which we saw a lot of last year,” said head coach Sarah Haveman. “Everybody has a training partner or a training group.” The Illini women have managed to put their top five runners across the finish line within a minute of each other every single race so far. In

some races, it’s been less than 30 seconds. “One thing we have really worked on this year compared to last, now that we have the personnel and depth to do it, is to have quicker splits between one through five,” Haveman said. And this is a goal her team has been able to achieve. In their first meet of the season at the EIU Walt Crawford Open, there were only 25 seconds between first and fourth Illini finishers. Five races later, at the Illini Open, the Illini managed

to establish themselves as a unified force in a sport that is typically characterized as an individual one. There were just 27 seconds separating their first and fifth across the line. “We definitely try to pair up and work with each other during races, because I feel like it’s a lot easier to push yourself in a race when there is someone there with you,” said sophomore Allison McGrath. McGrath, in particular, has found another teammate on the course in almost every

meet of the season. Finishing just two seconds behind fellow sophomore Nicki Cast in the Commodore Classic and 0.6 of a second in front of sophomore Rebecca Craddock at the Loyola Lakefront Invitational, McGrath said the connection they have on race day is a product of the team chemistry they’ve developed during workouts. “For most of the season I ran with Nicki Cast and Emma Milburn, and recently I have been running with Rebecca (Crad-

dock),” McGrath said. “I guess running as a pack during workouts makes it easier to do that in a race, as it feels more natural to run with a teammate.” While the Big Ten Championships didn’t go as planned for the Illini — who finished 12th out of 14 schools — their strong team dynamic prevailed despite less-than-ideal circumstances. In a sea of 125 runners at the Championships, the Illini were still able to find SEE TRAINING | 3B

THE DAILY ILLINI | WWW.DAILYILLINI.COM

ILLINOIS VS. MINNESOTA AJ BUSH This was AJ Bush’s best game as an Illini. No, he wasn’t perfect, but he was reliable, connecting on 18-of-25 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns. He had an ugly interception, throwing while on the run into a swarm of bodies, but he looks to have a good rhythm going with Champaign Centennial High School alumnus Dominic Stampley, who had eight receptions for 65 yards. Maybe even more encouraging for Illinois, Bush linked up with sophomore Ricky

Smalling four times — once for a 67-yard touchdown — for 86 total yards. To add to the Illini’s already sweet day on the ground, Bush totaled 127 rushing yards on 14 carries. He scored two touchdowns rushing, including a 3-yard run on the same drive that he broke one off for 44 yards. His throwing motion still leaves a lot to be desired, but Bush moved the offense consistently — through his legs when he needed and through the air with help from his receivers.

O FFEN S E Saturday a f ternoon belonged to first-year offensive coordinator Rod Smith. Smith looked like a mastermind, with his offensive line opening up major holes for Reggie Corbin to have yet another career game. His receivers were also able to get open and hold onto passes from Bush, who did a better job of delivering them on time and on target. Illinois hasn’t put up that many points at Memorial Stadium against a Big Ten opponent since 2008, when it beat Indi-

DEFENSE

ana 55-31. Illinois scored 65 in an overtime loss at Michigan in 2010, but the offensive output from Saturday was simply unheard of in the stadium’s recent history. Whether it’s Bush or true freshman M.J. Rivers playing quarterback next week at Nebraska, the offense proved it can execute against Big Ten competition. If Mike Epstein is healthy before the end of the season, the Illini could have one of the better rushing offenses around, which will open more of the field for the receivers.

It was much better. But how could it have gotten any worse? Illinois was absolutely torched at Maryland the last time out, giving up 63 points and spurring defensive coordinator Hardy Nickerson to resign. With head coach Lovie Smith calling the shots, the unit looked more together. Schematically, almost nothing changed. The Illini moved around up front and blitzed a bit more, but the results were uncannily different.

Three sacks and multiple quarterback hurries helped a young secondary hold up well against a capable Minnesota offense. Illinois held Minnesota to 4.2 yards per carry (178 rushing yards) and to a respectable 260 receiving yards. The unit came up with some big stops when the game depended on it. If they can do that against Nebraska, the Illini have a legitimate shot at their third road win in the Big Ten under Lovie.

GAME NOTEBOOK BY GAVIN GOOD STAFF WRITER

KEEPING THE MOMENTUM Del’Shaw n Phillips thought he had a touchdown — the whole stadium did. When the officials called back his scoop-and-score and whistled Illinois for a sideline interference penalty near the end of the first half against Minnesota, it reduced a 31-14 lead to 24-17 at the half. What could have been a commanding Illini advantage to start the second half was a one-score lead, something that could shift on the back of a single play. For an Illinois team that has struggled all season to put together a complete per-

formance, it felt like it could be the turning point in the game — the point where it all usually falls apart and the Illini let another one get away. Instead, the Illini defense held the Golden Gophers to a chip shot field goal and then forced them into a threeand-out on the opening possession of the second half. From there, the Illini took over the game, with graduate transfer quarterback AJ Bush leading the offense on a seven-play, 69-yard drive to stretch the lead to 31-17. Sophomore defensive back Tony Adams, who

returned from injury and moved to safety to replace injured starter junior Stanley Green, said the defense’s response was indicative of its character. “We’re savages; we keep fighting,” Adams said. “We’re always going to fight. That’s what I love about my brothers.” Head coach Lovie Smith thinks his team’s response is a sign of growth. “That (call) was one of the sidebars of the game,” Smith said. “Normally, that can crush momentum, to be that high and have to come down. But we’re maturing.”

IMPROVED DEFENSE UNDER SMITH’S DIRECT CONTROL The defense was much better on Saturday. From a simple point of execution, the Illini vastly improved from blowout losses the last three weeks against Purdue, Wisconsin and Maryland. The Illini allowed 438 yards — much more reasonable than the 712 Maryland put up — but were able to stop drives consistently. Minnesota was 6-for-15 on third-down conversions, and freshman quarterback Tanner Morgan was held to 14-for-27, though he did pass for 258 yards and two touchdowns.

The most notable difference for Illinois was its ability to get pressure on Morgan, who was sacked three times and forced into errant and risky throws throughout the game. Phillips, the lone senior defensive starter, called Smith’s changes as the defensive play-caller slight, but the Illini executed better as a result. “We had a little bit more movement up front, more pressure now and then,” Phillips said. “But our defense basically stayed the same. We just changed it up front a bit.”

Adams gave a lot of credit to the defensive line for its performance. It was key for the unit to step up against the Gophers, especially when the Illini were starting three true freshmen — Jartavius “Quan” Martin, Delano Ware and Sydney Brown — in the secondary. “The passing game is an 11-man game,” Adams said. “When they get good rushes, we don’t stay in coverage too long and the ball comes out fast, then he makes mistakes. The D-line getting a great pass rush today just helped our job, made it much easier.”

THE “W” EFFECT Ahead of this season, Lovie and those around the Illinois program stressed the importance of getting wins on the field to show evidence of improvement in the program. It ’s what recr uits respond to; most want to be winners. Saturday’s result helps the image of the Illinois program significantly, especially because Minnesota is a major recruiting rival, geographically and as a Big Ten West foe. Illinois recruits Isaiah

Williams and Marquez Beason were in the crowd on Saturday, and so were bigtime targets Shammond Cooper and Mookie Cooper. Rather than seeing the Illini blown out like they were against the Boilermakers, the team put together a complete performance. Instead of pitching them on being the missing pieces to a theoretical winning formula, the Illini can show these recruits actual wins that could happen more often if these recruits commit. Lovie knows his program still has a long way to go before bowl games

and conference titles, but a home win against a divisional rival is an important step to getting there. “We keep talking about what we’re going to do and who we’re going to be, but it helps to see some results right now,” Lovie said. “Before we played the game, we had a big recruit that jumped on board. I think they’re hearing the message, but it doesn’t hurt for them to see a result like this to confirm a little bit what they’re thinking, as much as anything.” @itsallG_O_O_D gavinrg2@dailyillini.com

Final notes

Only four players recorded fewer than nine minutes against Wesleyan: sophomore Zach Griffith, freshman Samba Kane, junior Drew Cayce and junior Samson Oladimeji. The most surprising of the bunch was Kane, who some expected to start upon his arrival. Underwood clearly hasn’t given his full trust to the freshman yet, which could change.

It’s something Haveman continues to emphasize as

HOCKEY the pace and set the tone throughout the entirety of Friday’s match. After scoring two goals in the first two periods, Illinois rallied and took over the game in the final period with four more goals. Sophomore Drew Richter led all scorers with two goals on the evening while junior Bobby Ernsting assisted on four of the six Illinois goals. The Illini held the Eagles scoreless throughout Friday’s match and maintained control on the defensive side of the ice. It was the third time this season the Illini shut out an opponent at the UI Ice Arena. “I really put it towards my linemates getting into open space and giving me the opportunity to make a play,”

Ernsting said. “On Friday, we had a bit of jump in our step, and we were all over their defense getting pucks past them and bodying up, which I think set the tone for the rest of our team.” Saturday ’s rematch had a different tone. Both teams were deadlocked in a defensive battle with the Illini receiving no penalties the entire evening. The first period was a stalemate with neither team getting on the board. The trend continued for most of the second period, with both teams refusing to give the other an inch. The Eagles would be the first to get on the board, with senior Joe Molfetta scoring their first goal of the weekend. The Illini responded by taking advantage of a power play opportunity and tying the game at 1-1 behind a late

goal by senior Luke Forfar. Neither team managed to score in the last four minutes, but the Illini gave up the game-winning goal after failing to clear the puck from their side of the net, just over a minute into sudden-death overtime. After splitting the weekend, the Illini are now to 7-6 on the season. The loss on Saturday marks their first loss at home this season. Meanwhile, the Eagles are now 5-7 on the season. “Our energy level was flat the whole game on Saturday,” Fabbrini said. “You’ve got to give them credit; they did a good job of keeping us on the outside and making things difficult for us. It just felt like we didn’t have that same jump tonight.” @jaredefarmer jaredef2@dailyillini.com

Illini knocked out of Big Ten Tournament, await fate BY MILES POWERS-HUANG ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

After missing the Big Ten Tournament in each of the last five seasons, the Illinois soccer team snapped the streak in 2018. Although the players felt pretty confident they would qualify beforehand, they had to wait until the

final week of the regular season to learn their fate. Ultimately, they sealed a fifth-place finish, pitting them in a road quarterfinal against Wisconsin. The Badgers and the Illini met once in the regular season, with the Badgers nabbing a 1-0 overtime victory.

The teams’ second meeting was again a close affair. Illinois won a penalty early on, and senior Katie Murray proceeded to put it in the back of the net. Wisconsin responded with a penalty of its own, and the teams were tied 1-1 at the half. The Badgers jumped out

to a lead in the second half, but the Illini would not go away, as sophomore Hope Breslin equalized off a set piece. The teams remained locked at 2-2 for the rest of regulation and went to overtime, where neither team could find a winning goal either.

The game went to a shootout and Illinois junior goalkeeper Jaelyn Cunningham saved three shots, leading the team to victory. Illinois advanced to play Penn State in the semifinals on Friday morning, with the Nittany Lions coming into the game as the first seed.

The Illini attack created chances but could not finish, and a late goal gifted the Nittany Lions a berth in the final. Illinois finished with a record of 11-8-1 and awaits its postseason fate. @MilesP_H milesp2@dailyillini.com

Push4Art is also a great way to experience the arts if you’re not studying that area but want to incorporate the arts into your life. “I’m a business major, so I’m kind of sometimes really far away from that world, so I like combining my soon-to-be marketing background with theater and showing people that there’s a lot out there that you don’t get to see,” Millins said. Even people who aren’t

really into or aren’t too familiar with the arts can get something out of the Push4Art event. “It can give you new perspectives,” Millins said. “You might think you know everything. You might think, ‘Oh, I don’t like the arts, or I don’t like dance,’ but you could come and see this and it’ll be absolutely new.” Kleiner said Push4Art is also a way to support the arts while enjoying a unique showcase at the same time. “The arts are really important,” Kleiner said. “It grows your mind and can give you a little break.” This is how the event works. People simply show up and push the Push4Art button (hence, push for art) and one of the groups will come out and perform, Kleiner explained. “It’s not exactly a flash mob, but literally a pop-up

All about that jazz Festival founder discusses jazz in CU BY ELEENA AHMED STAFF WRITER

Jenelle Evans, founder and director of the CU Jazz Festival, can be found sitting in the back of the crowd at every one of the performances she puts together. Evans was particularly excited about this year’s festival, as it was the first time she was going to be performing herself. “I thought I’d finally give myself a gig,” Evans said. As an accomplished saxophonist and University alumna, it was surprising she had waited until the fourth year of the festival to showcase her own music to Champaign-Urbana’s community of jazz lovers, many of whom she considers her friends and colleagues. Collaborators, sponsors and audience members passing by gave Evans warm congratulations on the success of the festival and the quality of the talent she had chosen. A relatively new addition to C-U’s cultural landscape, the Jazz Festival featured a mix of events in its lineup, part of Evans’ goal to offer something exciting for every kind of listener, from a lifelong lover of jazz to one still get-

ting to know the genre. The festival showcased the diversity in jazz, one of the larger goals Evans had laid out. “We want to bring in new people unfamiliar with jazz by featuring different styles,” Evans said. “This year, we have modern, swing; we had a Roaring ’20s party at Allen Hall.” Evans said she feels this approach will help create a more cohesive festival, as she said when looking for performers to feature, she wants groups that have “something interesting to offer … who have a unique concept and project.” She agreed that it’s important bands have their own sound and voice and perform original and distinctive material. Evans also said her initial inspiration for founding the festival was that she wanted to create a space for “community and University jazz to come together … and to draw attention to different groups” in Champaign-Urbana. When asked what’s changed from the inception of the festival to this year’s edition, Evans said every year she tries to bring in “new ideas and new growth.” “We try to add something new to the

festival every year,” Evans said. “This year, we had the composer’s workshop, where we had a house band playing people’s music.” The emphasis on University involvement was also a newer component of the festival. “(I was) collaborat(ing) with a jazz course at Allen Hall. Students are making their own projects by mixing and editing their recordings from concerts,” Evans said. This highlights the diverse audience for jazz in the community and Evans’ mentality that jazz is for everyone. She said she couldn’t pick one act she was most excited about because the performers are “all different; they each bring something else to the festival.” Evans’ passion for her work and the genre was clear when asked what she thought drew people to attend the festival. “With jazz in particular, seeing it in person is a real experience,” Evans said. “You can see the sweat on their faces, feel the vibrations of the instruments … It’s an experience we can share and talk about 10 years from now.” eleenaa2@readbuzz.com

Push4Art brings arts to students BY CAROLINA GARIBAY STAFF WRITER

The University is about to see a burst of the arts on campus, and on Tuesday, The Krannert Center Ambassadors, a marketing and outreach group comprised of students, will host Push4Art, a free arts-based pop-up event open to anyone on campus. The organizers of the event include Krannert Student Ambassadors Maddy Kleiner, Christine Millins and Cassie Quemeneur. As Krannert Student Ambassadors, they focus on promoting Krannert shows and familiarizing UI students with the Krannert Center. “We do a lot of marketing and outreach and try and spread the word about Krannert since it’s so far into Urbana,” Kleiner said. “We also market the $10 student ticket, so any show you go to is $10 or less as a student.” They also host events and activities like Krannert at the Ike, which happens toward the end of the year and Push4Art, which features the talent of students right here on campus. “We reach out to a capella groups, dance groups, improv groups, monologues and written work. Really anybody who wants to perform, we invite,” Kleiner said. This way, a variety of talent can be presented and students’ work can be viewed and promoted. Though the Krannert Center Ambassadors are hosting Push4Art, the event is taking place at the Student Dining and Residential Programs Building, or the lobby of the Ikenberry Commons, which is a really great space for the event, Kleiner, Millins and Quemeneur agreed. “There’s such a huge student population that lives over there, and they’re so far from Krannert Center,” Kleiner said. Millins noted that this event is a great way for students to experience the arts without having to go too much out of their way to do so. There are also a lot of freshmen who live by the Ike, so Push4Art is a great way to show freshmen what
