Students who are tempted to reach for their cell phones during class may have a new reason to focus after downloading Pocket Points. Pocket Points is a new app, available for iPhone and Android users, that recently made its way to the University. The app is designed to discourage students from using their cell phones in class. During lectures, students can open the app, which locks them out from using their phones.
The more often a student uses the app, the faster the points accumulate, according to the Pocket Points’ website. For every 20 minutes a student uses the app, one point is earned. The app operates on a point system that eventually translates to coupons or deals from local businesses. For example, a user can redeem five points for 60 percent off a large pizza from Papa John’s Pizza or 50 percent off a side at Fat Sandwich Company. “The app gets you to take your school work more seriously,” said Jack Hol-

Child care lacking at conferences
Students pocket phones for points BY SAMANTHA JONES TOAL
Kathleen Harleman, acting dean of FAA, said if she did not decline within the two minutes of Interim Provost Edward Feser asking her to serve as dean, she knew she’d have to say yes. “I have too much respect for Ed to say no,” Harleman said. “But it was never something I intended.” Harleman, who is the fulltime director of the Krannert Art Museum, has worked at the University for ten years, serving two five-year terms as the museum’s director. She will continue to spend about 25 percent of her time at the museum while she serves as the dean of FAA, and her business manager, Claudia Corlett-Stahl, will take on an increased role at the museum in her absence. “She’s the best boss I’ve ever had,” said Anne Sautman, the director of education at the Krannert Art Museum. “She’s built a staff she trusts, and she believes in us and lets us do our work, but she’s always there to give direction when needed.” Sautman said it was unusual for Harleman to step in as the dean of FAA because she’s never worked as a professor; Harleman’s background is in art history, and she has worked at seven art and architecture museums in her career. “I know she’s very uncertain about maybe not fully understanding all the professorial things,” Sautman said. “But I know she has people to go to. It may be a challenge for her, but I think she also gets it.” Harleman said her biggest goal for FAA as acting dean is to increase the college’s visibility — both on campus and across the nation. “We have a lot of really talented people doing extremely creative work here,” she said. “I think there needs to be a greater awareness on how FAA connects with the campus and the world. There are students here working on solutions to real world problems.”
Harleman said she believes increasing visibility will help increase enrollment in FAA, which has declined in recent years. Additionally, she said FAA increased its focus on undergraduate academic affairs, recently employing professors to spend 50 percent of their time in the office of undergraduate academic affairs. “Kathleen has an excellent vision for the arts on a public research university campus,” Feser said. “She has a great sense of how the arts can have an impact on the campus; she’s a wonderful blend of collaborative and decisive, and you really need that in a dean.” Harleman said it will be hard for the college to function without Feser’s strategic leadership but she believes he will serve the provost’s office well. “I think the impact on people in our college is we’re happy our areas of concern are being represented,” she said. Feser said while people may see a lot of symbolism around moving from two science-based academics serving as the provost and chancellor to arts and humanities based leadership, he doesn’t believe there will be a change in governing the University on a day-to-day basis. “I think it’s more the quality of the individuals serving in the roles,” Harleman said. “They are people of incredible integrity, they have a lifetime of accomplishments and they’re committed to making the best decisions for the campus.” Feser said he looks forward to Harleman’s leadership of FAA in his absence. “It’s probably an unexpected role for her since she doesn’t have career experience as a faculty member, but because FAA is a blend of traditional scholarship and engagement presentation, the fit is working well,” he said. “I have every confidence in her ability to lead the college.”

Chinese students adapt to cooking alone BY HARVARD ZHANG TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
BEIJING — To prepare their son for college in Seattle, Mo Fan’s parents sent him to the United States for a year to learn English. What the 20-year-old Beijing native learned the hard way while in the U.S. was that he also needed to attend a cram school back in China. The subject? Chinese cooking. “I knew nothing about cooking before going abroad last year,� said Mo, now a freshman at Seattle Central College. “I would simply scramble whatever I wanted to eat and cook it all together. The taste was no good.� More than 270,000 Chinese young adults studied in the U.S. during the 201314 academic year — 1 in 3 international students on American soil, according to a report by the Institute of International Education. Many of these students, typically the only child in their family, never learned their way around a stove growing up — and have found themselves ill-suited for American cuisine. Wang Jingyuan, a graduate student studying public affairs at Cornell University, said she had dodged the “freshman 15� weight gain when she attended Peking University. “But nothing I eat here now is healthy or delicious except for the food I prepare
myself,� said Wang, who’s now 15 pounds heavier. Hospitality professionals say that preparing authentic Chinese cuisine is timeconsuming and that there’s a trade-off between taste and convenience. “Chinese cooking values craftsmanship and the mastering of uncertain factors like knife skills and heat control, while the Western relies more on the kitchenware,� said Michael Wang, general director of the American branch of Meizhou Dongpo Group, whose restaurants, including one at Westfield Century City mall, serve Sichuan cuisine. Mo is among about 40 culinarily challenged Chinese students headed abroad who paid $300 for a 10-day cooking course in August, according to Chen Li, director of admissions at Jude Huatian Cooking School. Each afternoon, they observed an instructor prepare three home-style Chinese dishes. Among the items to be mastered were sauteed shredded pork with sweet fermented flour paste, stirfried eggs with tomatoes, and dumplings. Morning classes were dubbed “showtime� — where Mo and the others would attempt the dishes they had seen cooked the previous day. The school, affiliated with a well-known Peking duck restaurant chain, has

Many Chinese who attend schools in the U.S., including UCLA, above, didn’t learn to cook growing up and have found themselves ill-suited for American cuisine. So they’ve started to learn their way around a stove. long prepped Chinese students for two to six months to earn state-issued certificates for cooking and pastrymaking skills. But in recent years, it has also opened its door to homemakers, owners of start-up eateries and students heading overseas. For a kitchen newbie such as Mo, the array of utensils and condiments can seem overwhelming. The instructor, in an all-white chef’s uniform, peppered Mo with tips on techniques. Once in the U.S., many Chinese students who squeeze kitchen time into their schedule believe they eat more healthfully thanks to ingredients whose quality, in their opinion, is better
than that in China. “I trust the U.S. Department of Agriculture more than the authorities in charge of food safety in China,� said Zhao Yu, a visiting scholar in electronic engineering at UCLA. “The beef approved by the USDA, the seafood and the organic eggs are all good. And the vegetables are inexpensive.� Some, too, adjust their palate to their new home. “I started to eat avocado and more salad when I came to California last fall because that’s what everyone around me eats and it’s new to me,� said Liu Yimin, a graduate student studying energy resources engineering at Stanford University.

CHILD CARE services based on how many academics apply for it, Harris said. Consequentially, academics may show up to a conference only to find out that child-care services will not be provided. There is also the chance conference organizers will decide the risk of providing child care outweighs the benefit it provides academics. As with any child-care program, the conferences must assume liability for any children in their care; conferences must then consider purchasing liability insurance for their programs, Harris said. “The organizers of those conferences don’t know how important this problem is,� Harris said. “The issues need to lead the conferences organizations, not (be) an afterthought.�

People are addicted to their cell phones.� Gardner said the app benefits both businesses and students, as businesses can increase their foot traffic as well as actively reach the college demographic, and students have an incentive to pay attention.
However, some professors aren’t necessarily opposed to the use of cell phones during class time “I haven’t had any problems with phones,� said Shachar Meron, advertising lecturer. “I think as long as there’s respect and discipline, cell phones can be fantastic.� Meron said he often has students in class use their cell phones as a tool

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Michael Williams wants his young college students to feel they can come to him for help. He’s eager to guide them while working on an assignment or offer a sympathetic ear when things go sour in their personal lives. But if they confide something to the University of Kansas journalism professor about sexual harassment or worse? “I have said to the student, ‘I’m really sorry this happened, but if you tell me more details, I have to report this’� to others on campus, said Williams, president of KU’s University Senate. “But I’ve had students say, ‘I don’t want anyone else to know.’ They don’t tell you anything more. That’s when the situation gets a little gray.� And, say faculty at a number of colleges, a student who can’t tell a professor something in confidence might not tell anybody. Those same professors embrace the need to track sexual harassment and assaults, to better root out campus rapists and to get a student help in a time of crisis. Yet some say a student looking for a familiar person to confide in might clam up if that means hearing from some other college official — no matter how kind that third party might be. “I want to help that student,� Williams said. “But if the first thing out of their mouth is ‘I don’t really want to report this,’ what do you do?� The federal government continues to pressure college campuses to make sure that women, in particular, can pursue their studies safe from sexual harassment and assault. That’s long been enshrined in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibiting sex discrimination on campus. Title IX may be

kin, are the fi rst indication that the bombshell charges brought against the Republican powerhouse might never be fully aired at trial.

Clinton calls out CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals to lower drug KEITH MYERS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Sarah Gifford makes posters for the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes march against sexual assault and gender violence on Sept. 17 at the University of Missouri Kansas City. best known for how it remade college sports by demanding that women get the same chance at athletic scholarships as men. But increasingly it’s also grown as a tool to fight campus rape. Washington puts ever more exacting demands on schools to better document all manner of assault and harassment. New federal requirements kicked in over the summer that demand schools beef up both training for students and efforts to report potential Title IX violations. That followed a stern reminder issued by the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office in 2011 widely interpreted on campuses to mean that — with a few deliberate exceptions — virtually anyone working for a university must alert administrators about suspected cases. That’s why Williams feels obligated to warn students that telling him about a date that turned violent or
a relationship that’s become abusive means he must tell others. Angela Speck, who teaches astrophysics at the University of Missouri, is an outspoken advocate for logging assault cases. Such reporting, after all, can reveal where and how problems happen. And she speaks enthusiastically about various caring and competent professionals on campus ready to help someone who’s been attacked. Still, she said, few students already know those professionals. “That’s great if you know about it, if you feel comfortable dealing with absolute strangers,� Speck said. Maybe, she said, at least one professor in a department should be left off the hook on reporting so students can confide in a familiar face. “Otherwise,� she said, “how can you have a conversation in confidence if you know that you’re talking to
a mandatory reporter?� Research shows that college students might actually come under sexual attack slightly less than their peers who aren’t in school, but their age group stands particularly vulnerable to such assaults. The University of Missouri came under fire in the wake of Sasha Menu Courey’s suicide in 2011. She wrote in a journal, found after her death, that she was raped. When the university found her rape allegations in emails after her death, an independent law firm concluded last year, MU should have launched an investigation. Meantime, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill has been pursuing legislation to toughen campus standards for assault prevention training, counseling efforts and clearer adjudication measures. Last year, her office released a survey that concluded many schools fall short in how they investigate and resolve such claims.
WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton used a Facebook chat Monday to challenge a pharmaceutical executive to lower the cost of a key drug. Answering a question about the cost of prescription drugs during her online Q&A, Clinton called out the CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals by name, a week after he was at the center of an uproar over increasing the cost of a drug for AIDS patients by
5,000 percent. Under pressure, the CEO, Martin Shkreli, announced later that the company would lower the price “to a point that is more affordable� and that would still allow Turing to make “a very small profit.� He stopped short of restoring the drug to its original cost. “So Mr. Shkreli, what’s it going to be? Do the right thing. Lower the cost today to its original price,� Clinton demanded.
EPA tightens rules for farmers on using pesticides on fields The Environmental Protection Agency on Monday established the fi rst minimum-age requirement — 18 — for farmworkers applying pesticides to fields. The change is part of a revision of pesticide rules by the agency, which acknowledged that previous regulation was not enough to prevent an estimated $10 million to $15 million in annual health costs due to chemical exposure among the nation’s
2 million agricultural workers. “The existing rule was not working the way it should,� EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said. The revisions to the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard also change the certifi cation process, increase training requirements, require tighter record-keeping and protect workers from retaliation when they report potential safety violations.

t’s increasingly easy to be on our phones during class. Despite some professors’ efforts to make classes “tech-free,� iPads, iPhones and laptops still find ways to snake themselves out of our backpacks and onto our desks — or frequently hidden under them. So rather than jotting down notes, we end up checking out what’s happening on Facebook and Twitter with very little self-restraint. While getting notes later or checking the PowerPoint slides on Compass are options, missing out on unique information from the professor’s lecture and learning from any student questions or discussions are a crucial aspect of in-class meetings that we are robbing ourselves of. The ubiquity and addiction surrounding our cell phone use is a reason why we applaud apps such as Pocket Points that incentivize staying off our phones during classes. When students are in class, they simply have to open the app and lock their phones. The time ticks away, and as you go more minutes without using your phone, you get more rewards, such as coupons for local restaurants. When we have our phones out during class, we are caught in a constant state of multitasking, trying to listen to the professor in the background while simultaneously reading our friends’ cute Instagram captions that capture the past weekend’s memories. It’s clearly entirely distracting, as well as disrespectful to the professor. We use our phones during times when we seem to have nothing better to do, and unfortunately, we have started to apply that label to key elements of our education. By staying glued to our pieces of technology during class, we are harming our chances of success and decreasing how well we comprehend topics necessary to our success in college. While it would be nice to simply stay away from technology, it’s easy to see that even when professors ban use in classrooms, the efforts are for naught. Hopefully with more efforts to limit distraction — like Pocket Points —, we can start putting our education on the forefront when we’re in the classroom, at the very least. While some options don’t have the coupon incentives, we can continue the need to use our technology for the better by using applications on our laptops like Self Control, which block websites for certain amounts of time to prevent us from taking five-minute breaks to check back on Facebook (which end up turning into 30 minutes, anyway). We hope that applications such as Pocket Points and Self Control encourage students to be engaged in classroom discussions.

P
ope Francis addressed the Congress of the United States on Thursday with a speech that strayed from advocating certain religious beliefs but focused on the need for activism and selflessness. The pope spoke of activists such as Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Dorothy Day; he used their activism as an example for Americans to follow. He stated, “the yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.� The pope spoke of the “Golden Rule� in order to inspire the youth to partake in activism that could lead to a better and more equal future. University students should use the encouraging words of the pope to acknowledge the poverty around them and apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom into our very own Champaign community. Dorothy Day, one the activists applauded by Pope Francis, was a student at the University. Day became a journalist for leftist publi-
cations and a fervent fighter for the poor. The students of the Champaign community can be activists and raise awareness for the less fortunate living so close to campus, similar to Day. We should start using the yardstick we have used for those who inspire us and those who have brought about positive changes to our country and start to measure our own work on this campus and Champaign County. With the resources our University provides, this is very feasible. The Office of Volunteer Programs here on campus states that they encourage students to volunteer their time in order to do some work for the community. The program has much to offer for those willing to donate their time, yet out of the 44,087 students enrolled at the University, the program only has over 300 students registered to volunteer. Of course there are other
ways to do some work for the local community: The Champaign community has soup kitchens and other outreach programs. In fact, there are plenty of service and volunteering RSOs within our University available for students to join throughout the year. Especially with 21.6 percent of the Champaign county population living in poverty, the student body could further its outreach with strong activism to develop the same qualities of selflessness the pope addressed. The bubble that surrounds campus can be eliminated if one is willing to step out of Green Street and observe the rest of the community. The pope argued that Dr. King, President Lincoln, and Day “were able by hard work and selfsacrifice – some at the cost of their lives – to build a better future.� The students of the University should be encouraged to participate in more than sports, academ-

ic clubs and work; students should be pushed to help the locals in order to better the community that surrounds this campus. In a world revolving around selfies and Snapchats, it seems that this is the perfect time for someone with great influence, like Pope Francis, to remind young people of the need for selfless work. Pope Francis spoke of the poor and their need for hope and he addressed the unequal distribution of wealth in this country because he believes that there is work to be done. He hoped to persuade young people to find a way to help those that are less fortunate and to become activists just like Martin Luther King Jr. and Dorothy Day. The pope helped point out that the young activists in our history books were more similar to us than we think; they were ordinary people doing extraordinary things. With the bountiful resources the University provides and just the right amount of motivation, the students of Illinois have the power to similarly bring extraordinary change into our community.

F
all: America’s favorite season. Leaves falling from trees and new coffee blends are just some of the features that make this time of the year so famous. But as current college students with mid-terms ahead, the only fall that matters is the potential fall in our GPAs. Don’t worry, this can be indeed a troublesome season for many students, and if you sometimes feel that you have too much to do or are somewhat stressed, I have some advice: Take a breath and spend some time at the Quad. Many people may see just relaxing on the Quad as “unpleasant� for a variety of reasons. Grass, dirt and background noise don’t always sound like a good combination for a study or rest environment at first glance. For those who are advocates of silence and comfort in the workplace, however, I must say that studying outside can be not only productive, but also bring many benefits for your health and academic
performance. As we all know, spending some time outdoors is an old recommendation from our doctors, health specialists and parents, on par with eating an apple a day. And far from medical folklore, it actually has a very strong scientific basis: Exposure to sunlight and the outdoors is linked to benefits ranging from the prevention of myopia and depression to improvements in sleep quality. In a more recent field of study, there are many discoveries that show great improvements in productivity and skills of students who have outdoors learning habits. As shown by a paper from University of Toronto, outdoor environments can improve cognitive learning. Students inserted in a outside-classroom learning program had better results when compared to students who had their studies indoors. It is also known that this practice can decrease stress levels and even con-
tribute to a better memory. With so many proven benefits, spending some time lounging under a tree after classes is definitely worth a try. For those who are still concerned about the grass, dirt and noise at this point, you will be glad to know that these features aren’t as bothersome as they seem when you get used to them. The benefits of outdoor learning are being praised by many education specialists as the “new revolution� in education. From kindergarten to college, more and more course proposals try to include outside-classroom activities and even entire classes held outdoors are met with very positive feedback. Some colleges even have centers to help professors and everyone interested in bringing this concept to their subjects. As highlighted by the Teaching Outside Classroom guide from Vanderbilt University, “field experiences early in

a student’s career can be formative and can inspire students to continue in a field.� Illinois also has on-campus initiatives. Architecture for example has many activities on the campus quads and public spaces, mostly related to sketch practices. Further, many majors have related clubs and initiatives that seek achieving experiences and improving skills through activities and practices outdoors. Our university by itself is a remarkably good place to give a chance to outsidedesk study habits, and offers all kinds of parks and open spaces. The Illini Grove and the less known Arboretum next to the Florida Avenue Residence Hall are places that should be visited more often by students, certainly if you’re looking for a new study spot. But if you’re still convinced to stay attached to your chair and procrastinate enjoying this fall season “later,� I warn: Winter is coming!

Stargazers and ordinary citizens alike all had their cameras and smartphones out to witness the “blood moon� or the supermoon eclipse, a rare phenomenon that we haven’t seen since 1982. While some NASA pictures have been impressive and breathtaking, the sight was not as spectacular from the grounds of Champaign with clouds mostly obstructing the view. Not to fear — we’ll be ready for the next “blood moon�... in 2033.
This week is Islam Awareness at the University. Throughout the entire week, students of all cultures can participate in activities to increase awareness and knowledge about Muslim beliefs and lifestyle. For example, yesterday kicked off a three-day challenge for people to wear a hijab — which will close with a discussion at the Women’s Resource Center. Just venture out to the “Talk to a Muslim� station set up on the Quad to take advantage of such a great learning and communicating opportunity.

Art Theater Co-op to host free screening of ‘Planeat’ BY ELIZABETH DYE STAFF WRITER
Three experts. A lifetime of research. A simple solution. All in one documentary. The Art Theater Co-op is hosting a screening of “Planeat” on Tuesday, a 2010 documentary film that follows the work of influential researchers, scientists and experts to not only reveal the connection between diet, health and the environment, but offers creative solutions to the declining state of each sector. The free screening, sponsored by the University’s Law and Philosophy program, Women and Gender in Global Perspective’s program and Champaign’s Land Conservation Foundation, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Running just under 90 minutes, the documentary is filled with innovative research and solutions from doctors, scientists and agriculture experts from around the world who link the largely animal-based Western diet to rising cancer risks and the increasing destruction of our planet. Professor Rebecca Roach, teaching associate in ACES and professor of food science and human nutrition, said she agrees that the average American diet, fi lled with meat and dairy, contributes to larger health and environmental problems. “We know that the obesity levels in America increase every year,” Roach said. “They haven’t even plateaued yet; they continue to increase, and with that we are also seeing a higher incident of Type 2 diabetes, also heart disease, which is associated with diet. We’re seeing those various mortality factors in the US increase as well. We’re also exhausting fossil fuels to raise cattle and pigs and damaging our water sources from the runoff.” Richard Mulvaney, a natural resources and environmental sciences professor who studies soil fertility said the agricultural practices involved in producing our diet create multifaceted effects on the environment.
“The effects are very wide-ranging, and the impact is global,” Mulvaney said. “Examples would relate to the loss of nutrients that would impact water quality and air quality, but those practices also impact the soil’s properties. Soils have changed and they will continue to change depending on how they’re managed. The outfall of human management affects every aspect of the environment: land, air and water.” Mulvaney emphasized the misuse of fertilizers as a huge cause of environmental issues. “Many agricultural practices are directed toward high yields and intensive production practices, which
“Farmers need to gain a better working knowledge of the soils they farm.” RICHARD MULVANEY NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES PROFESSOR
invariably lead to the intensive use of fertilizers,” Mulvaney said. “Fertilizers have many effects, probably the best known outfall from fertilizer usage would be connected with nitrogen, because it is such a bioactive nutrient, and it very often limits productivity in any ecosystem.” While the documentary does highlight the negative impact of the Western diet, the experts in “Planeat” also provide creative solutions to many of the health and environmental problems that our diets have created. The fi lm features many international chefs and farmers offering their expertise on techniques to growing and making the food that humans should be consuming. Professor Mulvaney said he believes sustainable farming using soil testing and agronomic management is a solution because farmers put effort into managing their fertilizers,
instead of using fertilizers as an insurance policy. “Farmers need to gain a better working knowledge of the soils they farm,” Mulvaney said. “They need to move toward variable rate fertilization, where the rate is varied across the field to account for what the soil can supply. If they do that, we can get more efficiency from the fertilizer we’re using and we will have less loss to the environment.” Research in the film suggests that making dietary changes, such as reducing meat consumption, can positively change the impact humans have on the planet. Mulvaney said he agrees that decreasing meat production would help the environment, stressing the inefficiency involved in producing the meat. “Meat production is inherently inefficient in terms of nutrient harvesting and also in terms of water use,” Mulvaney said. “The loss of efficiency takes place in growing the animal as well as the feed crops.” The documentary’s makers also hope to instill positive dietary changes within its viewers. Lauren McKinney, sophomore in LAS, said she hopes to see the film so that she can recognize her own fallible food choices. “I always think my diet is okay and that I’m eating the right things for the most part,” McKinney said. “But what I don’t realize is how few of the foods I eat are actually not already premade or just meat. I never really think about the impact of the food I eat every day, so being able to hear and see the actual consequences of my decisions I think would help me make better ones.” Roach said she suggests viewing the fi lm, but with one stipulation. “While health problems are linked to diet, they are due to much more than just our food choices. Improving nutrition can be an appropriate adjunct to other treatments and lifestyle modifications, but it alone is not a solution.”

Reema Ghabra, sophomore in LAS, puts a hijab on Aisha Motan, freshman in Education, as part of the “Wear a Hijab Challenge”, an event on the Main Quad during Islam Awareness Week on Monday.
FROM 6A
HIJAB believe is an obligation as a part of their faith.” Beyond answering questions, Shaikh said the MSA wants people to understand what being Muslim means specifically in relation to the wearing of the hijab. “This might be one of the only times that people might have exposure to Islam,” Shaikh said. For Martini, wearing the headscarf comes with many expectations from people she encounters outside of the religion. “I feel like it takes a while before they start to recognize that they should pay attention to what is actually in my head instead of what’s on it,” Martini said. “I have to be extra friendly or trying hard all the time because ... I know
that I’m a representation of my religion to them.” Shaikh also explained that wearing the headscarf can prove difficult at times in a society that usually does not promote “covering up.” “It’s kind of contrary to what the majority of society thinks of as progressive, and progressive women don’t necessarily cover themselves,” Shaikh said. “So I think it’s a concept that is a little bit lost in society and it makes me appreciate it all the much more.” Martini said that to some Muslim women, the hijab serves as a central part of their identity. “I think that when you really learn to grow a love for the headscarf and what it means and the symbolism that comes with it, then yeah, it does become something really, really per-
sonal and becomes a part of your identity,” Martini said. The MSA also aims to learn from their participants’ feelings about the “Wear A Hijab Challenge” experience. “The discussion will serve to collect and capture the opinions of our participants,” Zayyad said. “Everyone experiences hijab differently. So hopefully by sharing everyone’s narration, we can author a story.” Martini said her personal goal for the event is to spread the word post-experience. “(I want to see people) challenging themselves to meet new people and to learn about people’s stories before they try writing it themselves.”

Trends to fall for BY ANNABETH CARLSON
L
ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
ast Wednesday was the first day of fall, which qualifies as a national holiday in my book. There is nothing more exciting than kicking off the season of cozy sweaters and flannels, bonfires, apple-picking, Pumpkin Spice Lattes and well — pumpkin-flavored anything. Unfortunately, the high was 85 degrees on the first day of fall, so I found myself a bit sweaty while sipping my hot pumpkin drink and wearing a sweater. But as the temperature drops, these are the 10 fall-fashion trends that I can’t live without:
1. Suede By far my favorite trend, suede is the ultimate upgrade for your fall wardrobe. The fabric was spotted on dresses, jackets, boots and more on the runways of Burberry, Chloé, Chanel. I love that whether real or fake, suede adds a sumptuous feel to any outfit. I plan on styling my tan suede skirt with a cream sweater, brown leather jacket and gold accessories.
2. Felt hats Spotted on the runways of Maison Michel and Ralph Lauren, you would be mad as a hatter to not sport one of these cozy caps this season! Summery styles like floppy hats and fedoras get a seasonal upgrade with warmer materials like felt and wool. My pick: a camel-colored oversized fedora with a leather band. The neutral col-
ors and structured shape compliment nearly every fall look.
3. Blanket scarves Fashion over function is no more with this trend. Blanket scarves combine popular prints like plaid with warm wool to create the idyllic cold weather accessory. Not to mention they are incredibly versatile and can be used as a scarf, poncho or even a blanket at your next fall bonfire.
4. Emerald green Take a cue from nature and make a statement with this deep jewel tone, reminiscent of pine trees that remain colorful after the leaves fall. I prefer the shade in small doses, with a green handbag that pops against other cold-weather colors like navy and black.
5. Slip-on sneakers Whether paired with a comfy t-shirt dress or edgy leather leggings, slip-on sneakers are the update to last fall’s lace-up tennis shoes. Don’t be afraid to bring attention to your feet by picking out a pair in an unexpected color like light grey or with an eye-catching texture like snakeskin. Did I mention fashion bloggers Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad and Pernille Teisbaek of Look de Pernille approve?
6. Checks Plaid is always a fall staple, but I love this year’s bold checks as shown on the runways of Marc by Marc Jacobs and Missoni. Many design-
PORTRAITS OF ANNABETH CARLSON BY TYLER COURTNEY
ers paired matching plaid tops and skirts together for an eyecatching and modern take on a classic. To mimic this twopiece look, you can throw on a plaid dress for an effortless, yet trendy vibe.
7. Marsala red It comes as no shock that this rich, burgundy hue was named the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year. Reminiscent of a glass of deep red wine, the shade brings sophistication and drama to any look. But what I love most about the color is its versatility. To class, I’ll wear a marsala-colored lip, toned down with a baseball cap, flannel and ripped jeans. For a night out, I plan on pairing the lipstick with my favorite red
suede dress.
8. Flared jeans The ’70s are back and better than ever. While I loved the bold, retro prints on BCBG Max Azria’s runway, the coolest part of this fashion comeback is the return of flare and bell-bottom jeans, as shown by Frame Denim and J Brand. I plan on styling my flare jeans with cropped sweaters and tees and leather peep-toe booties.
9. Untraditional boots While I will always stay true to my classic leather riding boots, I have to admit that they had less of a presence on the fall runways. Instead, style blog “Who What Wear” said to focus on booties and over-
the-knee boots with details like suede and fringe this season. Since I am only 5’3,’’ I am wary of the over-the-knee trend, but will be sure to incorporate booties into my fall shoe rotation.
10. Tassel accessories According to Vogue, tassel earrings have made a huge comeback this season after being spotted in the fall collections of Lanvin and Oscar de la Renta. The elegant but striking shape brings drama to any outfit, but my take on the trend is a chunky tassel necklace with simple stud earrings.

The hijab: more than just clothing ‘Wear a Hijab Challenge’ gives opportunity for new perspective BY NATALIE STEWART STAFF WRITER
Although it may come in an array of colors, patterns and textures, the hijab represents much more than just a piece of clothing or a mere fashion statement to Muslim women. Monday marked the start of Islam Awareness Week, where students in the Mus-
lim Student Association put on a series of discussions and activities on campus. One of these activities is the “Wear A Hijab Challenge.” Starting on Monday, any student could receive a free hijab to wear through Wednesday and reflect on their experience in an open discussion. Momina Shaikh, senior in AHS and outreach chair for the Muslim Student Association, said that the hijab is a head covering that women in Islam wear as a means of demonstrating their faith and values. “There are many reasons that are a part of the hijab,
so one of the main ones is modesty and not just in dressing, but also in your character,” Shaikh said.

Lack of depth limits Illinois’ offense BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER
Wide receivers Mike Dudek and Justin Hardee will remain out this week for their respective injuries. Head coach Bill Cubit did not say when they are expected to return. “My whole thing is to get them healthy fi rst and then we’ll figure it all out,� Cubit said. “And it may be where they are not healthy and you don’t have to make a decision and it’s really easy. Health is the most important thing at this point.� Dudek tore his ACL in practice last spring, while Hardee suffered a broken foot during the offseason. As the two veterans have sat out, Illinois has struggled in the receiving game. There have been dropped passes, bad timing and missed signals. The team has also struggled running plays to tight ends because Tyler White suffered a concussion during the North Carolina game. White was evaluated Monday and will be in non-contact drills throughout the week. Cubit hopes to have him back for Saturday’s game. Since the season started, wide receiver Geronimo Allison has led the receiving group, elected team captain three games in a row. Malik Turner and Marchie Murdock have stepped up but Cubit said it takes time to adjust after neither played a lot last season.
Quarterback Wes Lunt echoed Cubit’s thoughts, saying that both Dudek and Hardee bring a lot to the team, but their biggest challenge is getting the newer guys used to playing more. “I think the biggest thing between those two guys and the guys we have now is experience,� Lunt said. “It’s just having that confidence of, ‘hey I’ve played a lot of football and I know what I’m doing is huge.’ Some of these younger guys have doubt creeping up in their minds, and I know I felt the same way when I fi rst started at the college career.�
Illini backfield steps into the future With an offense centered around the pocket presence of Lunt, the Illinois running game has struggled, but against Middle Tennessee State, the prospective future of the Illini backfield appeared. Freshman Ke’Shawn Vaughn rushed for 80 yards on 13 carries, including one touchdown. Those 80 yards were the most rushing yards in a game by an Illinois true freshman since Donovan Young ran for 100 yards in 2011. Cubit said the fi rst half of the Middle Tennessee game was geared toward star senior running back Josh Ferguson and his style of play. But as Ferguson grew tired, it become all Vaughn in the second half.

Illinois’ Justin Hardee runs for a touchdown during the game against Western Kentucky at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014. “I thought he really grew up,� Cubit said. “I really like the way he plays, he was patient in his runs, he understood where the unblocked guy was. He’s really a smart, smart player.� Vaughn will play a key
role for Illinois coaches as they try to determine how to keep Ferguson in the game until the end. Ferguson, who fi nished with 83 yards on 20 carries, has been getting the ball a lot, but has also been taking a lot of hits. Coaches said that instead
of running out of bounds — like last year — Ferguson has been getting smaller but positive yard gains. Until coaches fi nd a balance for keeping Ferguson in longer, Vaughn will have to play more, according to Cubit.
Volleyball stifles opponents defensively “They weren’t hitting at Brandi, which is smart,� Hambly said. “I wouldn’t hit at Brandi either. They attacked the middle of the court and the right side a lot more. It’s good that they don’t hit at Brandi because then she can take more court and give more people help.� Donnelly returned to form the following night with 19 digs.

The Illinois volleyball team (11-2) put forth two strong defensive performances in its weekend sweeps of Maryland (10-6) and Rutgers (3-10). The team out-blocked its opponents by a significant margin, recording 11 and nine blocks against Maryland and Rutgers , respectively. M idd le blocker Katie Stadick led the category with 10 blocks on the weekend, recording seven in the Maryland match. The blocking effort contributed to low hit percentage from both of the Illini’s weekend opponents. Mary-
It took a combination of Taylor Zalewski’s 51yard field goal and Cody Clark‘s missed 43-yard field goal for Illinois to defeat Middle Tennessee State 27-25. Wes Lunt threw for 238 yards and a touchdown and the Illini defense only allowed 38 rushing yards in Saturday’s win.

land was held to a .064 hit percentage, which factors in the 26 errors the Terrapins committed. Rutgers recorded nine fewer errors and managed a .134 hit percentage, despite connecting on two fewer kills than Maryland. Defensive specialist Brandi Donnelly said the team’s strong defensive play was in part due to how much energy the squad brought to each matchup. “We knew we had to bring a lot of energy because there wasn’t going to be a big crowd,� Donnelly said. “I thought we did a great job of bringing a lot of good defensive energy which is the spark of our team.�
Maryland tries to avoid Donnelly
The Terrapins did their best to target their hits away from Donnelly, a member of last year’s Big Ten AllFreshman Team. It was the fi rst match of the season where Donnelly did not lead the team in digs. Instead, defensive specialists Julia Conard and Danielle Davis tied for the most digs for Illinois with nine, followed by the eight recorded by Donnelly and opposite hitter Ali Stark. Head coach Kevin Hambly had no problem with Donnelly not being the digs leader, especially since it allowed her to be effective in other ways.
Illinois’ victories over Rutgers and Maryland may be its easiest tests of the conference season. The Scarlet Knights were facing injury troubles heading into the match, which has contributed to the team losing six of its last seven. Rutgers now sits last in the Big Ten standings. Maryland is on a fivematch losing skid after winning its first nine. Both teams also lost to Northwestern at home over the weekend and will go on to play at Indiana and Purdue this week. Illinois, on the other hand, will continue to be tested by one of the best conferences in the sport. It travels on Wednesday to Wisconsin (8-4), which is 0-2 in the Big Ten but has only lost to perennial powerhouses Penn State and Ohio State.

BASKETBALL COLUMNIST
When Illinois basketball star Tal Brody chose to play professionally in Israel instead of with the NBA’s St. Louis Hawks in 1966, it was the beginning of a hoops renaissance in the Holy Land. Brody’s stellar play for the Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv for over a decade and a half made him a national hero in Israel, and the game’s popularity swelled in a country where basketball had never previously been a primary sport. Maccabi Tel Aviv is now wildly popular throughout Israel and other parts of Europe, and Brody’s contributions
to the game have helped put another Illini alum in position for a unique opportunity nearly 50 years later. Brian Randle played for Illinois from 2003-07, and has since enjoyed a successful career playing professionally overseas. Randle, a Peoria, Ill., native, is now preparing for his second season with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Maccabi Tel Aviv’s preseason schedule includes a United States tour this year, which has become commonplace for high-level European teams who want to prepare for their seasons by scrimmaging NBA teams. But this year, Tel Aviv’s U.S. tour has a wrinkle. They’ll participate in the fi rst-ever matchup between two Turkish Airlines Euroleague teams on U.S. soil when they play two games against longtime rival Emporio Armani Milan as part of the Euroleague Basketball World Tour.

Hockey loses two key players over the weekend BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
The Illinois hockey team played without a few contributors this weekend against Oklahoma. Junior defenseman Aaron Dusek and sophomore defensemen Joey Caprio suffered injuries in the first game against the Sooners on Friday. Dusek hurt his hand on a play against the boards. He got his hand caught between a Sooners’ player and the board, and it bent the wrong way. He had a hard time holding his stick after the injury, and didn’t play in the game on Saturday. “I have been working on it, and it feels a lot better,” Dusek said. “I have been icing it, and the swelling has gone down a bit.” Caprio hurt his shoulder Friday and was not fit to play in the game Saturday. Sophomore forward Mike Fischer and junior forward Eric Saulters couldn’t make the trip to Oklahoma. Fischer also had a shoulder injury, which he sustained in the second game against Michigan State. He has scored one goal this season. Saulters didn’t make the trip due to family matters. Despite the missing skaters, defenseman Austin Zima believed that this team could’ve still put up a better fight against Oklahoma. “We have a team where
we can put 20 guys out on that ice and compete with anybody,” Zima said. “I am sure that we can put anybody out on that ice on any given day and they will get the job done.”
Slow starts plague the Illini Illinois hockey has fallen victim to slow starts so far this year. The Illini have played six games, counting the two exhibition games before the regular season started. In those six games, the Illini had the lead once after the first period and Zima attributed that to bad habits. “We just need to play the way we know how to play,” Zima said. “Right now we just keep shooting ourselves in the foot.” The slow starts have effectively knocked the Illini out of several games early. In the first exhibition game against the Springfield Jr. Blues and the second game against Michigan State, Illinois was already down already down multiple goals to start the game. Head coach Nick Fabbrini is not sure exactly what the cause of the slow starts is. “I don’t know if it is because we aren’t prepared or if it’s something else,” Fabbrini said. “We just need to work on our preparation in all aspects, whether it is at practice the week of, or

Flaws plans to fight through planter fasciitis BY JON JOFFE STAFF WRITER
TYLER COURTNEY THE DAILLY ILLINI
Illinois forward Jannelle Flaws heads the ball forward during the Illini’s 2-1 overtime victory over Maryland.
Redshirt senior Jannelle Flaws isn’t 100 percent, but it won’t stop the Illinois soccer team’s all-time leading scorer from being on the field and contributing to the team. Flaws is dealing with chronic Plantar Fasciitis. The effects of the injury vary day-to-day. “Some days it feels really good, some days it hurts,” Flaws said after Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Maryland in overtime. “It just really depends. Today it definitely really hurt.” Head coach Janet Rayfield noted that a player as competitive as Flaws is always willing to work and improve. For that reason, Rayfield said it is hard to shut her down. “When you get beat up as much as she does, something is always sore,” Rayfield said. “She’s battling through some foot soreness, so we’re really going to try to get her healthy this week.”
The good news for Flaws is that her injury is isolated. Her plantar fasciitis provides minimal risk to other injury. “By playing through it I’m not damaging any other part of my body,” Flaws said. “It’s one of those I just have to suck up and play through.” Flaws wants to be on the field during games but is not opposed to limiting her minutes if it benefits the team. At the end of the day, she thinks of herself as a team player. “The plan is just to get myself to a place where I can be the best player,” Flaws said. “If that comes down to taking a few practices off — or something like that — or taking more breaks in the game, (I’ll do) whatever is best for this team.”
Breece’s impact being felt Senior midfielder/forward hybrid Nicole Breece did it all on Sunday for the Illini. Breece started the scoring off with her signature flip
throw-in, which found the laces freshman of Katie Murray right in front of the net. “My role with the flip through is just to give us another chance,” Breece said. “I’m doing everything that I can to give us another chance, and Katie did a great job getting on the end of that.” Breece’s other role is to consistently get the ball into scoring areas. On Sunday, however, it was Breece on the finishing end. The St. Louis-native scored the game-winning goal in the 118th minute of a doubleovertime game on a header coming after a long, Hope D’Addario cross. “I saw a ball coming in from Hope — a great ball — and I tried to get something on it, and when it went in, I was thrilled,” Breece said. “This time, I took the role of trying to get myself in and finish, so it was awesome.”

Illini use last season’s experience to improve BY MIKE GASICK
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
In 2014, the Illinois women’s cross-country team headed to the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, and left disappointed. The team placed ninth out of 26 teams at Saturday’s meet, improving on last year’s 18th-place performance at the course, and head coach Scott Jones was pleased with the results. “Across the board, I think we were happy with what we did,” Jones said. “I thought it was a positive experience for us. We were better in our preparation (for the meet) and focus.” Redshirt senior Alyssa Schneider led the way for the team, completing the race in 21 minutes and 27 seconds, good for fourth overall. Boise State finished first in the team competition, followed by Michigan State and host Minnesota. It was the third-consecutive meet that Schneider has finished first for the Illini. “I was really happy with (the performance),” Schneider said. “Individually and as a team we made huge improvements from last time out.” Schneider pointed out that having raced the course last year, she knew she had to take a better approach to the hilly course.

ing off conservative and gradually increasing her speed throughout the race, the strategy ended up as a success. Jones was also encouraged with Schneider’s performance, adding that she has been working hard in practice to get better everyday. “Her fitness is at a very high level,” Jones said. “It was a fantastic race. Having that senior poise and maturity really helped her out.” Finishing second for the Illini was senior Britten Petrey, who completed the race in 22:41. Following right behind her was junior Hanna Winter with a time of 22:51. Petry finished 46th overall and Winter came in 58th. Junior Valerie Bobart and sophomore Denise Branch were next to cross the finish line for the Illini, finishing in 23:13 and 23:17, respectively. The meet was Branch’s first time running in a large college cross country environment after being injured last season. Jones was impressed with how Branch carried herself out on the course and was happy that she could take in the race experience with 26 different teams present. Sophomore Audrey Blazek followed up after Branch, completing the race in 23:27. Junior Kim Seger was last to
cross for Illinois, finishing with a time of 25:06. Jones said he liked how Blazek set the pace early for the team, which contributed to the overall team success at the invite. Blazek said she wanted to make sure the team started
out conservatively and saved some of its energy toward the latter parts of the race. “I heard a lot from the girls who raced it last year that you can’t go out like you do in a normal race, the course just doesn’t really allow that,” Blazek said.
The team will hope to use this as a momentum lift going into its next race. “We want this to be a confidence boost for all of our runners,” stated Jones. “I think we just need to keep grinding and keep our feet on the ground moving
forward.” The Illini will have a couple of weeks off before they head to Louisville on October 17 to compete in Pre-Nationals.
said via email from Israel. “When I’m gone and when I return home in the summers, I get asked a lot of questions and even when I answer them, people still have a look like they need to see it to understand.” Randle knows he’ll have a contingent waiting for him Thursday in Chicago, but the exact size of his cheering section will be a surprise. “According to my wife, we are going to have a pretty full family and friends
section,” Randle said. “She won’t tell me how many, so I’m guessing I’ll be well represented. (It’s) pretty cool.” Randle was a high school standout at Peoria Manual before playing for Bruce Weber and the Illini, and going undrafted in the 2008 NBA Draft. He had a chance to compete for a roster spot with the Atlanta Hawks, but instead elected to begin a career overseas. He’s spent all but two months of his career playing for five Israeli teams
(he played with a German team for two months), which required a major lifestyle adjustment after departing Illinois. “Being an independent college student is an important life adjustment, but leaving everything you know and love to live alone and abroad was a shock to my system,” Randle said. “I wanted to go home almost every day for the first three months of the season; well, almost the entire season I wanted to go home. It got
pretty lonely, but the time alone gave me plenty of time to reflect and evaluate my life moving forward.” Randle has since carved out a niche as a utility player on one of Europe’s premier teams, averaging 12 points and 5.6 rebounds for Maccabi last season. Playing in Israel means playing in front of raucous crowds who are passionate about their teams, thanks in large part to Brody’s impact for the better part of two decades.
“The fans in Maccabi are amazing and they love the club,” Randle said. “No matter where we travel in Europe, we always have a cheering section and they are loud and proud to be cheering for Maccabi. It’s amazing and humbling to be a part of.” Basketball has taken Randle all over the world, and on Thursday it will nearly bring him home.

Conversation with an Illini: Austin Zima hockey so fun? AZ: When I ran into concussion issues last year, hockey was not fun. It sucked. I was scared to go to the rink, I was scared to go on the ice during the game, I was scared to play in front of 2,000 fans. When I was away from the rink, I realized that the most fun part of hockey is being a part of something bigger than yourself. KM: You guys were 20-6 on home ice last season. Talk about playing in front of the “Harassing Illini.� (The student section at all Illini home games) AZ: Every time I hit the ice, I get the jitters in my legs. KM: If we threw you, all of your teammates and coach Fabbrini on a desert island — everybody gets a stick and a skate — who comes out alive? AZ: I’m gonna say Grant Stueve. He’s just got some weird stuff going on that would make him survive. He’s definitely one of the weirdest kids in the room. He’d find some weird way to make it out. KM: I’m the betweenthe-glass reporter this year for all of the home games. Any advice for me? AZ: Just look out for the puck. Another thing, I’d advise you to keep your mic off if something goes wrong. For the sake of us, and for the sake of censorship. KM: Hockey players talk some mad trash. What’s the worst thing an opponent has ever said to you? AZ: The only thing that anyone’s ever said that really got to me is when somebody told me that I was the ugliest guy on the ice. I just know that’s not true. It wasn’t as upsetting as it was confusing. I don’t want a guy to be lying to himself like that. I don’t know if something was going on with my hair that day or something, but I just know that’s not true. KM: You mentioned your hair, is mine good enough to fit in on the team? AZ: Your hair’s great. Very good. We don’t really

We were on the penalty kill for the first eight minutes. It’s hard to generate much on offense when you’re constantly on the kill. You’re right though, we just got our (butts) handed to us — there’s really no way around it. KM: How good can this year’s team be? AZ: Very good. There’s no reason that we can’t contend for a championship. We’re a good hockey team when we show up. Friday night we competed hard against one of the best teams in the nation, but Saturday we didn’t show up. We’re a twoheaded monster. My dad sent me a quote the other day that said, “when good teams lose, it’s not because they lose to their opponents, but usually because they lose to themselves.� That’s the case with this year’s team. KM: The last two times that Illinois won an ACHA National Championship, head coach Nick Fabbrini was wearing an Illinois sweater. What does it mean to play for a guy who has been there and done that? AZ: It’s comforting. You know that the person that you’re looking to has done it himself before. He’s been in our locker room, he’s played in front of our same fans. He has two rings, nobody in our locker room can say that. KM: What makes playing

Grant Stueve probably has both the best and worst hair. So you’d probably be up there as one of the top two on the team. KM: Got any fake teeth? AZ: I have never lost or chipped a tooth playing hockey. KM: I’ve got two fake teeth. AZ: Really? Sign him up. We’ll get you a jersey. KM: What’s your best dance move? AZ: It’s something I like to call the “Spawning Rooster.� It’s a mixture of the chicken dance, and like a slow strut. When you see it, you know exactly what it is. We don’t really break it
out at the bar that much. So when it happens, you know it’s a good night. KM: Where might one see the “Spawning Rooster� on a Friday or Saturday night? AZ: KAM’S. Author’s note: Once I turned the recording devices off, Austin told me about his alter-ego on Friday and Saturday nights. His name is “Simeon.� I’m still investigating for further details.
