Night shift with UIPD: a reporter’s ride along BY LILY MASHAYEK STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: Staff writer Lilly Mashayek rode along with University police offi cer A.J. Martin on Sept. 23 from 9:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The following story is from

her perspective. “You can always talk your way into a ticket, but you can never talk your way out of a ticket,” said UIPD Offi cer A.J. Martin as we drove off after he gave someone a warning for speeding on

Green Street. During my evening with Martin, I quickly learned that it’s a tough job policing a top party school. From stumbling students who didn’t know which direction was north,

to fighting in the Pizza Hut parking lot, UIPD has their hands full – that’s without even stepping foot into the bars. The UIPD doesn’t strive to give out as many tickets as possible, Martin said. If

he stops someone who has a good attitude and shows they are willing to learn from their mistake, he’d rather give them a warning and educate them. Martin said UIPD are “not doing it to be jerks” when they

8:50 p.m.

9:04 p.m.

9:12 p.m.

I arrived at the University of Illinois Public Safety Building and was given a ballistic vest. It forced me to sit up straight while riding around the cop car. It wasn’t as heavy as I thought it would be, but mine didn’t have the metal plate in it like the bulletproof vests do. It was uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it.

I got in the police car with Officer A.J. Martin. I got to sit in the front seat and see all the equipment in the car, which included a laptop and a police camera. Martin said police work is just like that scene in “21 Jump Street” when Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill’s characters say they can’t wait to do cool cop stuff like seeing explosions, but then the movie cuts to a scene of them riding their police bikes through a park. We started driving and headed toward Green Street.

We stopped in a parking lot on Green Street to watch for people texting and driving. At night, Martin said, it’s easy to see who is texting because the phone screen lights up the car.

The night shift begins with mostly reactive work, like texting and driving. However, toward the end of the shift, they respond to more calls for service, like breaking up fights or backing up another officer.

10:00 p.m.

9:29 p.m.

We arrived back at the parking lot. While there, I saw a bus drive by, and I asked Martin if he’s ever pulled over a bus before. He said he has and that bus drivers have a tough job because they have to deal with a lot of variables while still keeping on schedule.

Martin backed up another officer and said a car was pulled over for speeding, and the officer who pulled them over gave them a warning. As we left the scene, Martin told me his goal isn’t to give students tickets. He said the last time he wrote a drinking ticket was two years ago on Unofficial.

11:15 p.m.

10:38 p.m.

11:02 p.m.

We got called to back up an officer who found a student passed out. When we got there, the student was on the ground. The officer got him to stand up, but it was clear he had had a lot to drink, even though he told the officer he only had seven beers that night. Martin called the student’s friends, who eventually came to pick him up. If his friends hadn’t shown up, Martin said he would have been taken to the hospital.

We left the scene, and the student’s friends took him home. Officer Martin said that it was important for students to know that if they are underage but their drunk friend needs medical assistance, they can call for help, and they will have immunity from getting drinking tickets for up to three people.

We got a call that a resident advisor at Florida Avenue Residence Hall had smelled marijuana coming from one of the dorm rooms. When we arrived, the resident advisor took us up to the room. Officer Martin and another officer talked to the students whose dorm it was, but they said they didn’t find any evidence of drugs. No tickets were given.

12:00 a.m.

11:51 p.m.

We arrived at the apartment of the RP, which was located right above the restaurant, but they failed to answer the door to talk to Martin. Instead, we went downstairs to Merry Ann’s, and asked them to turn down the volume of their music. They complied.

Someone reported a noise complaint against Merry Ann’s Diner in Urbana, so we went to go talk to the reporting party — or RP — the person who made the complaint.

1:11 a.m.

1:16 a.m.

1:20 a.m.

As we parked in a lot on Green Street, Martin heard a fight so we went to go investigate. He was right, but as soon as we got there and he turned on the siren, the people fled the scene. One of the guys told Martin that it was his little brother who had gotten in the fight and that everything was under control now. However, Martin said the fights get broken up, but they don’t necessarily stay that way. The people involved tend to find each other again and pick up where they left off. Turns out Martin was right.

While driving down Green Street, we heard another fight, so we went to where it was happening. As we pulled up, we realized it was the same man who was involved in the first fight that we had broken up earlier. Martin told me to wait in the car, and he went to go talk to the man.

Backup arrived and Martin continued to talk to people to see what happened. Martin’s shift ends at 1:30 a.m. “At the end of the day (the goal is) that we get back safe to our families,” he said.

FAFSA change affects 71 percent of students Seventy-one percent of students at the University rely on financial aid to fund their education. Yet this year sees a major change to the typical financial assistance application process. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly known as FAFSA, has been available since Oct. 1 for the 2017-2018 school year. In the past, FAFSA opened applications on Jan. 1. Dan Mann, director of Student Financial Aid at the University, believes the change is positive for both students and families. This

9:25 p.m.

Martin saw a car driving too fast, so we followed the car. He pulled the car over into a parking lot by 309 E. Green and went to go talk to the driver.

We were told that the person who had complained about the noise at Merry Ann’s, the RP, was ready to talk now, so we went back to his apartment. Officer Martin told him that he asked Merry Ann’s to turn down the music, and he suggested for the RP to get a white noise machine to help drown out the sound from the restaurant.

give people tickets, but that sometimes it reminds them that there are consequences for their actions and puts them in the mindset of being careful.

three-month change has been coined “early FAFSA” by the Department of Education. “These changes are designed to make the financial aid application process earlier, simpler and more accurate,” Mann said. For the early FAFSA, the income data must be from two years prior to the application year, or what is called “Prior-Prior Year.” For the 2017-2018 school year, students will need to use income data from 2015. Officials claim the earlier income data makes it easier for families to fill in application forms with their

already completed tax information. It will also be easier to import their income and tax information on the FAFSA from the IRS using the online Data Retrieval Tool, the DRT, Mann said. This change comes as a surprise to Alex Mackowiak, freshman in LAS, who echoed many students’ feelings that FAFSA doesn’t provide enough award money to students and instead offers loans. The early FAFSA would not have mattered to Mackowiak last year, as a college bound senior. “I don’t have much opinion on that though, because I

didn’t get much, if any, money from FAFSA,” he said. The financial aid factor in the college application process plays a key role in the college application process, Mann said. “Students can now apply for financial aid at the same time that they are applying for admissions to college,” Mann said. Senior at Maine East High School, Jasmine Castro, knows how important financial aid is in deciding what university to attend next fall. “My sister and I will both be attending college, and

Suspect for Green Street shooting arraigned BY AARON NAVARRO ASSISTANT DAYTIME NEWS EDITOR

Robbie Patton, the Champaign man accused of the fatal Green Street shooting that took place on Sept. 25, was arraigned in the Champaign County Courthouse Friday for six total counts. Judge Brett Olmstead arraigned Patton for three counts of first degree murder against George Korchev, the 22-year-old Mundelein man killed in Sunday’s shooting. Patton was also read three other counts of aggravated battery with a fi rearm towards Erik Lasaine and Robert Shepard, two University students, as well as Moses Lopez. All three men were shot Sunday while walking along the Boneyard Creek sidewalk north of the 300 block of East Green Street. Each of the counts of fi rst degree murder have a possibility of 20 to 60 years if convicted, Olmstead said. Patton additionally faces a 25 year sentence for discharging the gun in an act of violence. The counts of aggravated battery are Class X felonies, right below fi rst degree murder. They carry a six to 30 year sentence if convicted along with the additional 25 years due to the fi rearm.

All six counts have a possible fi ne of $25,000 and three years of parole supervision following incarceration. The investigation into the shootings on Sunday is ongoing, Champaign Police said. Patton turned himself into the Champaign County Police Thursday night. He is currently in custody at the Champaign County Jail. He heard his arraignment from the correctional center through a video stream into the courtroom.

Patton’s next appearance in court was set for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 11 at 2 p.m. at the Champaign County Courthouse. Patton is being appointed a defender for the case. The other shooting incident at 1:08 a.m. Sunday on State Street is also still under investigation. One 25-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was later discharged from the hospital. The Champaign Police Department says that there is no video surveil-

lance of that incident and that it has received little to no cooperation in the investigation. Champaign police spokeswoman LaEisha Meaderds said that they are skeptical that Patton’s and this incident are related. The Champaign Police Department is asking anyone with information on either shooting to contact the investigation division by phone at 217-351-4545 or email at police@champaignil.gov.

UIPD releases annual fire safety report BY LILLY MASHAYEK STAFF WRITER

The University of Illinois Police Department released their Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, which includes statistics for 2013 through 2015. The report also includes resources for the campus community in case it ever becomes the victim of a

crime, said UIPD spokesperson Pat Wade. UIPD officer A.J. Martin reminded students that if they see one of their friends in need of medical attention, such as potential alcohol poisoning, they will not be given drinking tickets if they are underage as long as they cooperate with the police.

All crimes that are included within the report are crimes that fall under the Clery Act, which “is a federal mandate requiring all institutions of higher education that participate in the federal student fi nancial aid program to disclose information about crime on their campuses and in the surrounding communi-

ties,” according to the UIPD website. “Our statistics are pretty consistent and have been for the last few years; they don’t see huge numbers up and down,” said Deputy Chief Tony Brown with UIPD. Crimes that are included in the report are only those that occurred within the

jurisdiction of UIPD, which is any property owned by the University, including any locations directly related to the campus, according to the report. However, campus bars, fraternities and sororities do not fall within this jurisdiction. “The Clery Act is very location specific,” Brown

said. “One year you may have something happen at an accountable location. But the next year, something similar happened, but it happened (at), say, a block over … that’s not an accountable location; then that crime doesn’t count for these crime statistics.”

From the Chilean soccer fields, a new priest arrives at Newman BY MADELEINE HUBBARD STAFF WRITER

Chase Hilgenbrinck always dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player. But that’s not where his career ended up. Hilgenbrinck, better known now as Father Chase, left his professional soccer team to become a priest. “It wasn’t that I wanted to be a priest. In fact, I never wanted to,” Hilgenbrinck said. Serving as an assistant chaplain for St. John’s Catholic Newman Center since June 2016, he remembers sitting in a chapel after practice one day, just praying. “I was praying that all my dreams would come true,” Hilgenbrinck said. “Just right then in the silence of my heart, I heard this voice deep down in my conscience, in my soul, just saying, ‘Be my priest,’ and at that time, it startled me.” Hilgenbrinck continued playing professional soccer; he still had no desire to be a priest. Yet after visiting the church, Hilgenbrinck said he felt “called” every single day of his life. So he started thinking about joining the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church. “It just got stronger and stronger until there was no

Castro is applying to six different colleges in the Midwest. The University is not one of them. “[Early FAFSA] just added more to my list. I had to think about what colleges I would be applying to and then getting the information I needed to fill out the form,” she said. “But I

doubt in my mind that God was asking me to do this,” Hilgenbrinck said. Hilgenbrinck grew up in a Catholic family in Bloomington, Ill. and began playing soccer as a child. He later went on to play at Clemson University. Upon graduating in 2004, Hilgenbrinck went to Chile to play soccer. “I think the Lord was preparing me at that time to have great sympathy, empathy and compassion,” he said, describing his time in Chile. He said that in Chile, people’s lives are a lot different than those living in the United States, and it gave him a different perspective. “It was a difficult reality, but in the end, it became beautiful,” Hilgenbrinck said. “I began to love it. It was a place that I really called home, being there for four years.” At the time, Hilgenbrinck was dating a girl in Chile. He said he had a fantastic relationship with her but could not see himself getting married. Hilgenbrinck returned to the United States in December of 2007, when he made up his mind to enter seminary to start the process to become a priest. However, even though know that by the time January starts I’ll have some break from all this college stuff.” As a senior, Castro was well aware of the new early FAFSA. Her counselor made the change clear to her and other seniors. While college-bound seniors may have more on their plate this semester, applying to both colleges and their financial aid programs, Castro welcomes the change. “I think other seniors would have liked more time to think about colleges, but we know how filing the form in October will help us,” she said.

he knew he wanted to be a priest, Hilgenbrinck was offered to play for the New England Revolution, a Major League Soccer team, in the spring of 2008. After playing four games with the Revolution, Hilgenbrinck’s career as a professional soccer player ended when he choose to leave to enter the seminary. Hilgenbrinck attended Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Maryland for almost six years before becoming ordained as a priest in May 2014. As a professional soccer player, Hilgenbrinck said he had practice in the morning for two hours and would then have free time the rest of the day. Now at the Newman Center, an average day for him lasts from about 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Hilgenbrinck’s schedule is fi lled with mass, confessions, preparing talks, meeting with students and giving spiritual direction. When he doesn’t have a meeting in the evening, Hilgenbrinck said he goes to sporting events and gets involved in the local community. “Everybody in the world is longing for intimate relationships, and I have the opportunity to be there every single day with people,” he said. “If there was

However, Castro is excited to finish applying to colleges and financial aid programs. “After I’m done with the college application process, I will finally be able to enjoy my senior year.” The University alerts students via email about financial aid changes and deadlines. They additionally encourage students to apply for financial aid once FAFSA opens. To be fully considered in 2017-2018 for all financial aid program, students are advised to apply by Nov. 30.

involved here at Newman with the students … He’s just been such a great addition, a really great person to have around and a great priest as well,” said Natalie Brady, a freshman in Business. Still enjoying soccer, Brady said Father Chase comes to the intramural soccer games at Newman. Remarking on the percep-

tion that “faith isn’t fun,” Hilgenbrinck said that at Newman Center, he sees students who are “joyful on the inside and out; and it’s authentic, and it’s genuine.” “I’ve tried both worlds,” Hilgenbrinck said. “I can tell you that being faithful is something that brings satisfaction, not just happiness.”

Illinois Republicans create roadblocks for voters

THE DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Richard Grant of Champaign steps out of the voting booth at the Salvation Army in Champaign on election day, Nov. 6, 2012.

oting in this year’s election just got a bit more difficult for residents of Illinois’ biggest counties. A U.S. judge declared an Illinois law allowing sameday registration in counties of more than 100,000 people unconstitutional, a move heavily favored by Governor Bruce Rauner. While the judge’s ruling is unbiased, the appeal that led to the injunction seems petty and self-preserving. The Republican appeal claimed these registration

requirements made it “more difficult for people to register to vote in some areas of the state than others.” This is true, but it seems unlikely that Republicans would have issued an appeal if the law had been in reverse; in large counties people could not register to vote on election day, but in small ones they could. The Republican state legislature is aware that most residents of highly populated urban areas tend to vote Democrat — like young people and people of color. They do not want them to be

able to register to vote on election day and take votes away from Republican candidates. We believe the court is correct in regarding this same-day registration law as unconstitutional. No county should have more voting advantages than another. But by submitting an appeal instead of proposing a bill that would give smaller counties the same right to same-day registration, Republicans are only taking away votes, not adding any. This is the first time many

on this campus will vote in a presidential election. Although it is important to think ahead, this generation admittedly isn’t the best at that. We’re all too often caught up in the heat of the moment. We think about the next tweet, the next Snapchat story, but not everyone plans ahead to send a ballot by mail, nor do they have time to go to a larger county. This appeal not only inconveniences busy students, but other people who make up the largest populations in the state.

If Republicans are going to claim they are looking out for the disadvantaged rural people, then they should mean it instead of playing political games. Concerned Republicans shouldn’t support their party by making Democratic voter registration more difficult — they should support their party by helping people in rural counties register just as easily. State politicians shouldn’t pretend they truly care about disadvantaged voters when they only care about saving themselves.

New “finstagram” craze won’t be going anywhere LEAH PEARLMAN Opinions columnist

AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI

Students gather at the intersection of Green and Fourth streets after the shooting that took place early in the morning on Sept. 25.

Place blame on shooters, not victims ISABELLA WINKLER Opinions columnist

“W

hat were you wearing?” “Why were you alone?” “Why were you drinking?” These are all questions that have become synonymous with victim blaming, particularly toward sexual assault survivors. By this point they sound ridiculous, and the idea that anyone would think the victim is ever at fault is beyond me. But in the wake of the Green Street shooting, students proved that these victim-blaming attitudes are not only consistent, but they expand beyond sexual assault. When the violent attack that took one man’s life shook campus on the morning of Sept. 25, the last things I expected to hear were these kinds of statements that cast the blame on the victims. The Daily Illini interviewed random students about their perceptions on campus safety after the shooting, and they all agreed that they still felt safe on campus. They attributed this to their tendencies to “stay out of trouble.” The students were all ignorant to the fact that the victims of the shooting were bystanders uninvolved in the fight. But being uninformed is no excuse. With the multitude of updates from the UIPD, all students were informed of the details of the situation, specifically the fact that the victims were uninvolved in the initial altercation. It is disheartening to see that students blame

the victims for the senseless attack they had to endure. But it makes sense considering the strategies people often use to convince themselves they are safe. For example, it’s common for people to attribute sexual assault to a culture of binge drinking. A girl then might tell herself, “If I don’t drink, I won’t get sexually assaulted.” This makes her feel safer by distracting herself from the fact that anybody can be a victim of sexual assault, but it also dangerously places the blame on the victims. A parent might say, “If my daughter carries pepper spray, she won’t get attacked.” Again, this might make us feel safer, but it places the responsibility on victims and not perpetrators. Every girl who was given pepper spray as a going-away present knows this feeling. Every person who is told to keep their keys between their fingers while walking to their car can relate. But what happens when using your makeshift claws can’t protect you from a bullet? You might hear: “Why were you out at night?” “Why were you drinking?” “Why did you put yourself in that situation?” The same phenomenon is occurring with respect to the shooting. The students who blame “finding trouble” for being shot are giving themselves a sense of false security; If they stay out of trouble, they won’t be a victim of gun violence. Simple as that. Anything that can detract from the actual violent act will make people feel safer and make

them think that it won’t happen to them if they simply “stay out of trouble.” But the reality is that tragedies don’t discriminate. A dangerous man with a gun doesn’t care if you have pepper spray, or if you’re using the buddy system and avoid trouble. It’s time to start placing the blame where it matters. Blaming the victims is not only harmful, but unproductive in solving the issue. It is also a testament to how far we will go as a society to avoid facing challenging discussions head-on. There is nothing easy about the discussion on gun control. It’s not a dialogue anyone wants to have, whether it be on the senate floor or at Thanksgiving dinner. But it’s a discussion we have to partake in if we want these tragedies to yield. A single gun is not only to blame for this tragedy. But the reality is that a dangerous man, who should have never had access to a gun in the first place, shot and killed an innocent bystander enjoying a night out. We as a society need to rethink the way we approach these issues. It feels better to be coddled and told we will never experience these situations as long as we carry pepper spray and stay in groups, but the discussion needs to shift away from how to not be a victim to how to not be a perpetrator. We need to have the uncomfortable conversations that will shift the violent paradigm our society faces.

scroll through a typical University of Illinois user’s Instagram feed is likely to reveal images of attractive drunken girls at Kams, a perfectly prepared doughnut box from Pandamonium or a “candid” laughing picture taken in a barn — all captured in perfect light and enhanced with multiple photo editing apps. Parties become neverending photo shoots, and walks to class become judgmental scrolling sessions through fetishized, envy-evoking posts. Instagram is one of the most popular social media outlets for college age students. A 2015 Pew Research survey found that 55 percent of online adults ages 18 to 29 use Instagram. More than a year later, one can only imagine these statistics have only risen. But life isn’t all 45-degree-angle selfies, and “edgy” landscape pictures. Some college students are sick of trying to live up to their annoyingly curated Instagram feed and have created “finstagrams,” or fake Instagram accounts. These finstas (Instagram shortens to Insta, therefore finstagram shortens to finsta) are usually set to private, meaning you must approve the users who can follow you and see your posts. Also, followers are mostly kept in the low double digits on purpose, so that the poster can feel comfortable posting more personal things to their better friends. Common finsta posts can range from unattractive pictures to inappropriate pictures, and the captions are usually longer and more telling. Sophie Morris, a sophomore in AHS, said, “I just post funnier pictures and kind of more like complaining pictures to share with just some of my friends compared to everyone that follows me.” Principles that guide Instagram — such as posting no more than once a

day — are completely disregarded on a finstagram, which makes the account both more frequently updated and more realistic to one’s life. In a survey conducted by the Girl Scouts in 2010, 74 percent of girls agreed that other girls try to make themselves look “cooler than they really are” on social networking sites, and 41 percent admitted that this describes them. Whereas most people won’t post a picture of them studying with acne cream all over their face in their dorm room on a normal Instagram account, people do this much more often on their finstas. When people are immersed in a culture obsessed with creating an amazingly aesthetic online profile, it only makes sense that they’re looking for an outlet to truly be who they are and that person doesn’t always wake up #flawless without using their VSCO CAM app etc. You may be thinking, “Just stop all of this nonsense and be yourself on your real Instagram, or get rid of Instagram all together.” For some that is an option; however, for many young people, social media has become a burdensome part of life that simply must be managed. While young people of every generation struggle with how to project their identities onto the greater world, I argue that our generation has it the worst. Lots of people think that the finsta culture is odd, as we have other applications that we can share photos on with only our friends. Take Snapchat for instance, where you can send individual friends photos that disappear in 10 seconds or fewer upon being opened. The difference is that a finstagram can provide a concrete history of funny things to scroll though, whereas Snapchat is temporary. Additionally, Snapchat doesn’t allow for as much text as an Instagram caption does. “I just like to have all my photos in one place,” said Ava Heemsoth, sophomore in Media. Ava said she had around

560 followers on her real Instagram and merely 39 on her finstagram. It makes sense that people allow so many less followers on their finstagrams. A Pace University study found a link between the numbers of strangers that Instagram users follow and the possibility that they experience depressive symptoms, such as fearfulness, loneliness or fatigue. The paradox is that the finstagram is becoming the “real” Instagram; the filtered realities we see on people’s “real” Instagram accounts are incredibly cultivated while the “fake” accounts are ironically places for authenticity. The words “real” and “fake” here are curiously inverted and it is to help disguise the fact that we put different effort and emotion into posting our photos online. Sadly, these platforms are going nowhere and we won’t get anywhere by trying to fight them. But I do believe there is a way to build more agencies around how we interact with them and then use this to our advantage. Currently the #finstagram hashtag has over 27,000 entries on the social media app, and this isn’t including the general amount of people who do not use this hashtag in their posts. The trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and maybe this isn’t a bad thing, in any case we are growing to become more comfortable showing our true colors to an online community even if it is our 39 closest friends. One day, we may combine our finstagrams and Instagrams, because everyone has days when their eyebrows are on “fleek” and days when they throw up in their 9 a.m. lecture. Until then, just remember that what you see on a peers flawless Instagram isn’t all there is, and that likely that girl who has 3,000 followers also posts double chins to her smaller following on her finsta.

Amazon coming soon to Illini Union Bookstore BY WILL GERARD CONTRIBUTING WRTITER

Any student who has paid a visit to the Illini Union Bookstore recently knows how difficult it is to miss the construction taking place six days a week. Upon entering the store, there are bright yellow signs reading “please pardon our dust while we work on exciting changes.” The change is tentatively scheduled for a midNovember debut – featuring the addition of an Amazon store located opposite Starbucks. The 2,200 -square-foot space will be the first of its kind in the state of Illinois. Other additions include a renovation of the second floor, which will bring dressing rooms, new carpets and fully adjustable LED lighting. “I don’t use (Amazon) that often, but I think it will be convenient. What I’ll typically do is come here and compare textbook prices,” said Jonathan Basa, sophomore in DGS. Bookstore director Tod Petrie has been working with the Illini Union Bookstore since January 2015. At the time of his hire, Amazon had just opened its own Purdue location, which, along with a few other sites, has served as inspiration for the project. The main difference between the sites, however, is that Purdue did not have a prior licensed on-campus bookstore. “We’re the only ones, from what I understand, that have it in the bookstore,” Petrie said. The arrival of an Amazon store will benefit those with membership accounts. Amazon Prime members will receive free same-day

Patrick does not see the point in getting the shot if it can cause symptoms similar to the disease it is trying to prevent. “A lot of the times you get flu-like symptoms. Other times it can be adverse reactions to the version of the virus that they put into your body,” Patrick said. “You can feel feverish afterwards.” Frances Welch, former Illini Media Company employee and senior in Media, is also against receiving the flu shot. Welch has only gotten the shot once in her life and ended up getting the flu that same year. Welch said she never

The store itself will operate separately from the bookstore. Amazon recently hired its own staff, which will be made up of primarily University students. Petrie estimates the number is around 90 percent students.

“I live in an apartment, and sometimes our mailbox is too small, or they leave things out front, which leaves things at risk of being stolen. I feel like it might even be quicker too when there’s a place,” said Brandon Chan, sophomore in DGS. Due to an increased rush for textbooks, the Illi-

The shot is not only for me; it’s helping other people as well.” Akin said that before students decide to not get the shot, they should do their research. “Before you pick a side do the proper research.

There are still going to be 44,000 students here and many students were already ordering from Amazon, so it won’t be a huge impact,”

Petrie said. Many of the potential effects of the Amazon store have yet to be seen since there are so few available for comparison. Currently, there are only 11 other similar college locations. Three others are set to open by the start of 2017.

said. Before then, they had already “talked a lot” to discuss the play. Additionally, Davis came this weekend to see the performance and to meet with the cast. He also did a Q&A session with the students in THEA 199, a contemporary theatre class. In the class, they asked him questions about character choices, the quirks of being a writer and how he faces criticism. “One of the hardest parts of it is having people make assumptions about you — your ability as a writer,” Davis said. “You’ve just got to cultivate enough self-confidence to put it out there.” When asked about the themes of the play and the intention of his writing, he gave a very clear response. “It’s up to the audience’s interpretation,” he said.

To unify the cast, Phillips spent a lot of time “talking to them as artists” and about the importance of their roles in society as advocates and activists, he said. In their bonding, they would share stories, laugh and cry together. Phillips recommended that the rest of the world should do the same. Now a professional playwright in New York with several other literary works on the way, the author Nathan Alan Davis made time to be involved in the artistic process. “We Skyped him into a rehearsal once and the cast asked him one-onone questions,” Phillips

Students choose to give flu vaccines the cold shoulder BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER

niversity students and staff received 11,008 flu shots last fall. Vicki Burkhalter, McKinley Health Center’s influenza campaign coordinator, said every year the flu shot administration numbers on campus increase due to McKinley’s flu shot outreach stations. Flu season has officially started. The campus offers many opportunities to get vaccinated, but it is up to each individual student’s discretion if they act on getting the shot. “There are 25-30 different places on campus in order to make the flu shot more accessible to students,” Burkhalter said. “McKinley realizes geographically we are at a bit

52%

of a disadvantage and that it is not the easiest to get to us.” Locations include the I ke n b er r y C o m mo n s and Grainger Library. Burkhalter said that the Grainger location usually brings in a lot of traffi c and provides ten percent of the recipients of the shots. At these outreaches, Burkhalter and three to four different nurses administer the shots. They call themselves the “fl u crew.” Sophie Akin, freshman in L A S, has already received her fl u shot at the Ike. Akin is majoring in biology and is planning on going to medical school after graduating from the University. “I got a fl u shot every year my entire life. My

spreading from person to person. Akin believes that getting the shot is worth it compared to actually contracting the flu. “People get the flu and wish they would have gotten the vaccine. Both of my parents had the flu at the same time and it was terrible for them. I know how bad it can be,” she said. “It’s one shot, so I don’t know why you wouldn’t get one to not get that illness.” Akin does stress that everyone has the right to what they choose to do with their bodies. “I don’t think anyone should be required to get one,” she said. Burkhalter said that people have the right to forego the shot, but believes that it is beneficial overall for a

person to get one. “If you weigh the discomfort of the shot and an aching arm compared to the flu, I still can’t see why you wouldn’t get that shot,” Burkhalter said. Even though Burkhalter and Akin are supporters of the vaccination, not everyone on campus is convinced of the pros of the shot. Sarah Patrick, freshman in LAS, has never gotten a flu shot and does not plan on getting one in the future. “My mom is super against them. She’s very homeopathic. I kind of adhere to that,” Patrick said. “ A lot of people who get flu shots still get sick. They only prevent certain strains. “ Patrick explains that she still does get vaccinated

mother’s a nurse, so she stressed to me when I was little that I needed to get one. People don’t get them due to misconceptions,” Akin said. “The reasons are scientifically proven to be incorrect.” Burkhalter agrees with Akin that it would only help students if they get vaccinated this year, especially from McKinley where the shot is given for free. “Getting a shot keeps the student population healthy. It minimizes the risk of getting the flu sickness all over campus which will lead to students not attending their classes,” she said. Burkhalter explained that students who do get shots will buffer students who do not, which will lower the chances of the illness

‘Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea’ dreams of racial understanding BY TIM GILMORE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Among the outcries for social reform directed at racial injustice, “Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea” puts to stage African-American culture and tells a new coming-of-age story. “Theatre is the art form most directly reflective of the nature of human experience, and we seek to engage with issues that help us all understand that journey more clearly,” Jeffrey Eric Jenkins, head of the theater department, wrote in an email. “Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea” is written by Nathan Alan Davis and guest-directed by Tyrone Phillips, both BFA alumni of the University. The play ran from Thursday to Saturday last week in Studio Theatre in the Krannert Center and will be performed again this weekend, Oct. 11-14. Tickets are priced at $25 for general admission and

$10 for University students. The play is foremost a call to remembrance. Dontrell, an 18-year-old descendant of African slaves, experiences a vision-like dream in

Strizak, Quade help win five set thriller, break Maryland streak BY JAMES BOYD STAFF WRITER

The Maryland volleyball team had not lost a game at its home arena since Nov. 14. That streak came to an end when No. 24 Illinois defeated the Terrapins in a hotly-contested five-set match. The win lifted the Illini to 10-5 on the season and 3-1 in the Big Ten, while the Terps dropped to 8-8 overall and 0-4 in conference play. The Illini, coming off being swept at home by No. 1 Nebraska, showed some resiliency when it faced the defending national champions — even taking the lead in the second and third sets — but were unable to win a set against the Cornhuskers. “We didn’t have much of a hangover (from the Nebraska match),” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “I thought, actually, we did a great job of coming out early. But I think we kind of relaxed and thought this would be easy. Every team is going to be tough to beat at home. No one rolls over.” The Illini fell behind in

Score: Illinois 3 – 2 (2518; 22-25; 30-28; 23-25; 16-14) Summary: No. 24 Illinois defeated Maryland at the Xfinity Center Pavilion in five sets. The Terrapins were

the first set, 5-10, but went on a 5-1 run to tie things up at 11. The run consisted of one kill by sophomore Ali Bastianelli but was largely due to attack and service errors by Maryland. The Illini briefly fell behind again 12-14, but a kill from freshman Jacqueline Quade and an ace by Bastianelli tied things up at 14. Maryland never regained the lead, and Illinois went on to win the first set, 25-18. The seven-point win would be the largest margin of victory for either team in the match. For the rest of the day, Maryland and Illinois traded set victories. The Terrapins bounced back from their first-set loss to win the second, 25-22, but the real showdown happened in the third set. Twenty-five points were not enough to determine who would break the 1-1 tie. The set featured 13 ties and nine lead changes between the Big Ten foes, but Illinois ultimately prevailed behind six kills by senior Michelle Strizak and Quade who added six kills of her own.

Illinois volleyball beat Maryland in a heated five-set match at their home arena. Maryland has not lost a home game since Nov. 14 of last year. Liz Twilley ended the match at 30-28. “It’s nice to get (Strizak and Quade) going,” Hambly said. “We haven’t had both of them going in a match. I wish we would’ve had more offense. We didn’t really get to the middle the way we wanted to. We didn’t pass well enough to really get ourselves in a great offensive rhythm, so we had to rely on the outside to get it done for us.” In a 1-2 hole, Maryland won the fourth set to keep the match going, but in the end, its 0.174 hitting percentage and 31 errors didn’t provide the offensive spark needed to win the match. It remained close until the final point, but Illinois

won the final set, 16-14, and the match, 3-2. Quade said her team remained loose throughout the day despite several momentum swings. The outside hitter tallied the second-most kills on the night with 18 — behind Strizak’s 20 — and after winning Big Ten Freshman of the Week earlier this season, she’s looking forward to facing the rest of what her conference opponents have to offer. “It’s a tough win on the road,” Quade said. “Playing in the Big Ten is awesome. I mean, there’s competition every night. There’s no nights off.”

Illinois coach Lovie Smith called a timeout, went over to the referees and challenged the play. The call stood, and Smith and Co. looked furious. On the next play, Nebraska scored a touchdown to retake the lead once more, which it held for the remainder of the game.

2. Michigan (2) — The Wolverines survived a scare from Wisconsin this week. Wisconsin showed that the Michigan offense can be contained, but in the end, Michigan’s superior athleticism is what sets them apart from a lot of teams — see Jourdan Lewis’s one handed interception for proof of that.

And the Illini once again reverted to the team who can’t get the job done in the final quarter. Up to that point, Illinois seemed to have finally figured it out. The bye week had treated the team well, and Smith brought in a prepared squad that could compete with the Cornhuskers in front of a sold-out crowd in Lincoln, Nebraska. But possession time was key: The Illinois offense was out on the field for around 22 minutes, whereas the Nebraska one nearly doubled that time at just over 38 minutes. Wes Lunt went 13-for-22, with just 133 yards. Wide receiver Malik Turner was the standout with 57 yards. Reggie Corbin led with 72 rushing yards followed by 46 yards and a touchdown from Kendrick Foster. Running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn had just one yard in a quiet performance. The numbers were lackluster and the offense struggled to stay on the field. By the fourth quarter, the fatigue began to hit. The defense started letting easy plays happen, and the touchdown right after the reviewed call showed as much. No one was expect-

ing the Illini to walk into Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium and come out with a win. Most had predicted a blowout, so keeping it close for that long and even getting an upset alert from ESPN seemed surprising. It was refreshing and gave fans a look at a prepared team under Smith. The win wasn’t very likely going to happen in the first place, but Illinois proved it could compete. A competitive game was what the team needed, and for the most part — until the final quarter — it succeeded. But watching the game after watching this team for a few years makes you take such a lead with stride. All you can wonder is “when will something happen to mess it up?” Will it be a penalty, a missed tackle by the safety, maybe even a fumble? As football fans say here, that’s just so Illinois. The fourth-and-one call that came down to the inches was just so Illinois. All the progress the team made came down to inches and the other small things that consistently stop the Illini.

4. Wisconsin (4) — A loss will knock the Badgers down a peg on a lot of power rankings, but when the loss is to one of the top ranked teams in the nation, the team shouldn’t fall far. They came close to beating Michigan, but were not able to pull it off. Despite this, the Badgers are still a top team in the Big Ten West. 5. Penn State (10) — A win at Minnesota helped Penn State stay relevant in the Big Ten East. Right now there are four teams with one win in the Big Ten East, and Penn State is one of them. 6. Indiana (7) — Indiana beat Michigan State, but with the way Michigan State has been playing recently, that is not as much of an accomplishment now as it would’ve been last year. The win will give Indiana some momentum going into a game against Ohio State next week where the Hoosiers can really turn some heads. 7. Michicgan State (3) — The Spartans have dropped two straight, and their chances of making it out of the Big Ten East are falling. Losing to Indiana was not part of their game plan. Trying to win in a division with Michigan and Ohio State leaves little room for error, but Michigan State isn’t making it easier on themselves. 8. Maryland (9) — Maryland is also undefeated after waxing Purdue on Saturday. Maryland has yet to have a real test – its best non-conference competition was University of Central Florida. The Terps are sitting at third in the Big Ten East, and won’t have to face one of the giants of that division (Ohio State or Michigan) until Week 9. 9. Northwestern (14) — After two bad losses in nonconference play, Northwestern has picked up two good wins. The win against Iowa showed that they are still a threat. 10. Iowa (6) — Kirk Ferentz is lucky that he got that contract extension before this season started. After losing to North Dakota State, the Hawkeyes dropped another game to Northwestern. Northwestern had been struggling, but the Hawkeyes might have blown their chances at the Big Ten West title. 11. Minnesota (8) — A loss at home to Penn State dropped Minnesota down to the bottom half of the Big Ten Standings. The Gophers had the led at half, but were unable to hold on, losing in overtime. It was a tough loss to start Big Ten play for the Gophers. 12. Illinois (12) — The Illini put up a good fight against then-No. 15 Nebraska, but had problems with penalties and getting stops late in the game. The problems have been reoccurring for the Illini all season. They have not shown an ability to win against tougher competition. 13. Purdue — Purdue did not have a fun trip to Maryland. The Boilermakers got blown out 50-7 and are now 2-2 on the season. Purdue is not showing any signs of being relevant in the Big Ten this season. 14. Rutgers (11) — The Scarlet Knights didn’t belong on the same field as Ohio State last week. Losing to Ohio State isn’t anything to be too upset about, but losing to Ohio State by 58 points is bad.

Offense

Defense

Nebraska running back Terrell Newby broke off a 63-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to seal the game for the Cornhuskers.

GAME TO FORGET Illinois’ Chunky Clements On paper, the Illinois defensive lineman had an average game — six total tackles with four solo ones — but he committed a crucial horse collar penalty on Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong during a long third down late in the fourth quarter. Illinois had the lead at the time and committed a couple more penalties on the drive, but Clement’s penalty was the one that opened the flood gates.

GAME TO REMEMBER Illinois’ Chase McLaughlin The sophomore kicker recorded three field goals Saturday. He has started in four games and now has four career makes. It was his first field goal since the game against Murray State. He kept his ranking as one of the 10 kickers in the nation to be 100 percent on extra points and field goals.

Coming out of the bye week, the Illinois offense made some adjustments that paid off in spurts. Offensive coordinator Garrick McGee executed a conservative, run-first gameplan that saw some success in the Illini’s 13-point second quarter. Sophomore running back Reggie Corbin made his first career start and piled up career highs with nine carries and 72 rushing yards. Kendrick Foster had the Illini’s big play of the game with a 31-yard TD run for the team’s only end zone fi nd of the day. The refreshed running game was the highlight in an otherwise flat offensive performance. Quarterback Wes Lunt managed only 133 yards through the air and struggled to maintain drives — the Illini were 2-for-9 on third down conversions. While Foster and Corbin were impressive, presumed starter Ke’Shawn Vaughn had one yard on one carry despite no apparent injuries.

TWEET OF THE GAME

Smith and company gave some new players chances to step up, and most took advantage of their expanded roles. As previously mentioned, Corbin and Foster looked like backs who deserved more carries. On defense, redshirt freshman Patrick Nelson led the team with 16 tackles in his first start at safety. A questionable choice to punt on 4th-and-1 with the Illini down eight and a little over three minutes remaining in the game put a damper on Smith’s effort. The punt led to Nebraska’s third straight touchdown against a sluggish Illinois defense that had just endured a 10-minute and a six-minute drive on their two previous possessions. During his postgame presser, Smith said he didn’t second-guess the decision.

BIG TEN STANDINGS Michigan 5-0, 2-0 Maryland 4-0, 1-0 Ohio State 4-0, 1-0 Indiana 3-1, 1-0 Penn State 3-2, 1-1 Michigan State 2-2, 0-2 Rutgers 2-3, 0-2

Coaching

Drew Brown @Drewdbrown34 Thankyou to the Illinois football team for doing this, shows that it is much more than a game, nothing but respect! Good luck this year!

East Division

Head coach Lovie Smith wants nothing more than takeaways on defense and he fi nally got some against Nebraska. Senior defensive back Darius Mosely nabbed his first career interception, which led to a field goal in Illinois’ momentum-grabbing second quarter. Less than two minutes into the second half, sophomore linebacker Tre Watson forced Nebraska to fumble, leading to another Illinois field goal and 16-10 lead. Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong’s dual threat prowess was a focus heading into week five, and the Illinois defense held him to just 12 rushing yards on eight carries. Running back Terrell Newby made it up for it, though, gashing the Illinois defense for 140 yards on the ground. The defense began to unravel late in the third quarter. Once again, penalties were the unit’s Achilles heel. A third down horse-collar penalty on senior defensive lineman Chunky Clements kept a 10-minute Nebraska drive alive. That drive proved to be crucial, especially since the Illinois offense couldn’t respond long enough to give the defense a chance to catch its breath. The Cornhuskers scored 21 unanswered in the fourth quarter alone.

West Division Nebraska 5-0, 2-0 Wisconsin 4-1, 1-1 Iowa 3-2, 1-1 Northwestern 2-3, 1-1 Minnesota 3-1, 0-1 Purdue 2-2, 0-1 Illinois 1-3, 0-1

Special Teams Chase McLaughlin’s performance was worthy of the game ball on Saturday. The sophomore kicker went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, including a 43-yarder to give the Illini a 13-10 lead heading into halftime. He remains perfect on fields goals and extra points this season. Punter Ryan Frain returned to his starting role after missing two weeks due to a bicycle accident. He failed to pin the Cornhuskers deep on his fi nal punt, allowing them to start on the Illinois 30 before scoring two plays later to put the Illini down by two.

HOCKEY

Cruickshank leads team to undefeated weekend in home opener BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER

Even after Eric Cruickshank tallied his third goal on Saturday night late in the second period, Illinois head coach Nick Fabbrini stood on the bench as he chewed on the cap of a ballpoint pen.

Following a six goal and two assist weekend by the junior center, Fabbrini was focused on a disappointing weekend from his special teams unit, especially with their allowance of five goals on the penalty kill. “Unfortunately, (our penalty kill) let (starting

goalie David Hefl in) down a little (Saturday) giving up two goals, but that’s an area we’re going to look to improve on,” Fabbrini said. The Illini opened the 2016-17 campaign with a 6-2 win over Illinois State in Bloomington, Illinois, on Thursday night. The team

returned home to grab a pair of 4-2 and 7-2 victories over Michigan State on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Michigan State head coach Jim Martin started Grant Luzynski in the net on Friday night before giving freshman Patrick

SOCCER

Illinois outplayed in 2-0 road loss to Penn State BY CHRIS KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

Friday night was a challenging task for the Illinois soccer team: a trip into the Nittany Lions’ den to play the reigning national champions. Illinois was outplayed by No. 14 Penn State in a 2-0 defeat. Offensive problems resurfaced for the Illini as the Nittany Lions dominated possession. “We made too many technical mistakes and just didn’t respond well as a group to those mistakes,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “We got outplayed by a very good Penn State team.” The teams last met in the first round of the 2015 Big Ten Tournament, and the Illini fell 3-1. This season’s match was a mostly one-sided affair.

Sen ior Su mmer Schafer gave Illinois an opportunity in the first minute, but Penn State struck soon after. The

season and played the full 90 minutes for the fourth time. Coming off a strong shutout of Rutgers last weekend, she made three saves against a 21-shot barrage from Penn State. Wheatley has been in the net for every game against ranked opponents. The loss to Penn State drops her record to 0-4-1. After the first half, the Penn State offense dominated possession. The Illini could not manage a shot in the second period. Penn State added to its lead in the 65th minute when sophomore Charlotte Williams found an open Marissa Sheva who knocked the goal in past the left post. Illinois was outshot for the second consecutive match Friday night. None of the Illinois shots — all in the first half — were put on goal. The Illini had not been outshot since August. “Although we have struggled to score, this was the first game that we struggled to keep the ball,” Rayfield said. “Penn State had a lot to do with that.” One positive sign for Illinois was the return of junior forward Kara Marbury.

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY

Illinois comes in first overall at Iowa Regional Preview BY DANIELLE WILLIAMS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Four Illinois women’s cross-country runners fi nished in the top-10 at Saturday’s Iowa Regional Preview, helping the team take fi rst overall. Junior Audrey Blazek, junior Denise Branch, senior Amanda Fox and senior Valerie Bobart placed third, fi fth, eighth and ninth, respectively. For the third time this season Blazek was the fi rst to cross the fi nish line for the Illini. She completed the 6,000 meters in 21 minutes, 32.7seconds. “Blazek has been our most consistent performer of the past couple of years,

she is someone that has improved over the year,” head coach Scott Jones said. “Her improvement is because of her dedication to the process. I’m very happy for Audrey and what she’s been achieving. Alongside Blazek, Branch clocked in at 21:39.3, her best time of the season. “She’s growi ng in fitness and in confidence,” Jones said. “Those two cha racteristics are essential to have success. It’s also something that feeds back on itself for her to race going forward.” Although she has not been the top runner in the past few meets, Amanda Fox turned in a performance

of 21:48.7. “Fox really set the tone for us,” Jones said. “She really pulled her teammates along.” Bobart clocked in at 21:50.4. Jones said he was proud of his team’s performance but is looking for a more consistent, aggressive approach to these races. “We’re really focusing right now on the process of training and preparing o u r s elve s fo r the competition,” Jones said. “We’re focused on the process of executing and competing during the competition.”

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY

Illini bounce back, take fifth at the Joe Paine Notre Dame Invite UI freshman Jon Davis leads team, four place in top-50

BY TATIANIA PERRY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Illinois men’s crosscountry team fi nished the Joe Piane Notre Dame

Invite in fi fth, with an overall team score of 183. With that score they beat four nationa lly ranked teams including Washington State (189), Texas (323), Florida State (400) and North Carolina (571). “It was a nice bounce back,” head coach Jake Stewart said. “Our guys performed with pretty good poise.”

Four Illini runners placed in the top 50 overall. Senior Sean Pengelly ran his fastest time as an Illini 24 minutes, 25.2 seconds — good for the 43rd best time. Sophomore Jesse Reiser and senior Dylan Lafond finished 30th and 31st within less than a second of one another (Reiser: 24:15.1 and Lafond 24:15.9). Stewart, though happy about the progress of

the team, didn’t want to highlight the times on this particular fl at course because it was vastly different from last week’s muddy hilly course. “It’s more about being competitive,” Stewart said. “Our fi rst eight guys fi nished ahead of everyone else’s top eight.” Freshman Jon Davis secured the top Illini fi nish, placing 27th with at time

of 24:13.0. He, too, ran his fastest documented time. With the team being so young, Stewart is excited for these next two meets before they reach post season. “In this sport every race is different,” Stewart said. “Jon bounced back nicely after a disappointing performance last week and Jesse continues to stay consistent. I know he has

more in him.” T h er e wer e also notable performances by sophomore Dan Lathrop (24:33.1), junior Alex Gold (24:33.9) and sophomore Zach Smith (24:35.6). Next week, the Illini will be traveling to the Ed Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invite in Madison.
