EDITOR’S NOTE DYLAN SUTCLIFF

Winter finally seems to be past us. In celebration of this fact I’ll tell the story of the time I got most seriously injured. There were three of us: Mike (my fellow conspirator in the pee popcorn story), our friend Joseph and me. During the winters between fourth and eighth grade we spent most of our days after school on Harris Hill, the biggest hill for miles around. In the beginning it was just sledding, but as young boys, we soon got tired of the monotonous up and down, so we invented sled wars. The rules of sled wars are fairly simple. At the top of the hill, everyone holds onto one another for about five seconds as the sleds pick up speed. After that, the rules cease to exist, and it’s encouraged that the sledders cast their humanity out with them. The object of sled wars is to knock out the other competitors for as long as possible and be the first person down the hill. Rarely would anyone make it all the way down on the sled they began on. On that particular day, we found the hill to be completely abandoned with two snow ramps already built. It was looking great. For about an hour, things went off as usual. There were minor injuries here and there, but that was the point. Then we went on one particular run. I knocked over Mike pretty quickly and so it was only me and Joseph that were left going down the hill. We bashed back and forth; both of us were on saucer discs, so with every push we would rock to the left or right before once again regaining our balance. As we closed in on one of the ramps, Joseph gave me a stern push toward it, and before I could grab on to my sled I had flown off and landed face first on a patch of ice. We’re not done yet. Before I could get up, Mike comes flying off the ramp, clutching onto the sled under him, and lands flat on my head, dragging me underneath him for a good five feet. When I got home, I found my forehead reaching out about two to three inches past where it normally sat. For the next two weeks it hurt whenever I laughed, and because of this I had dreams of my head growing slowly until it exploded. Thanks Mike! Refer to the photo for more.

EARTH WEEK by Avani Chhaya With a green mop of hair and tinted-blue skin to match his blue tights, Captain Planet comes to the rescue to battle anti-environment villains. If you happen to see him flying around and leaping through trees in the next few days, that’s because it’s Earth Week! Raising awareness of the many environmental issues is the main purpose of Earth Week, said Mara Eisenstein, the director of marketing and special projects of the Illinois Green Business Assocation. The goal is to make green living a habit and to incorporate environmentally friendly choices into our everyday behavior. Students for Environmental Concerns, also known as SECS, will host a variety of Earthfriendly events, such as Thursday night’s showing of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax on the Quad. The bands Grandkids, Zach May and more will be playing a benefit concert at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center on Friday at 7 p.m. To start changing our nation’s impact, Eisenstein suggested shifting to local consumerism and supporting green business models. She added that biking to work, using public transportation, refusing to use plastic water bottles, recycling, using less plastic bags, unplugging phone or computer chargers and showing support for alternative energy sources are a start. “Those who want to get involved to be a part of this awareness will do so,” Eisenstein said. “I don’t think we can longer afford apathy.”

40 North and Krannert Center—working together to put Champaign County’s culture on the map.

The Telematic Ensemble connects musicians in a revolutionary way by Emily Siner Very few musicians could say they’ve played a live performance with someone 10,000 miles away. In fact, until April 13, no one could. On that historic Wednesday afternoon, the University’s Telematic Ensemble played such a performance. It took place partly in the lobby of the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, partly at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Urbana, and partly in Melbourne, Australia. Ben Smith, a University music doctoral candidate, organized the performance as part of his dissertation project. It featured six musicians using experimental video conferencing software to push the boundaries of a traditional ensemble — the kind in which musicians actually have to be physically close to each other to collaborate. The result is, Smith said, “essentially, a distributed sextet.” “On one hand, I think, ‘Why hasn’t anyone done this before?’” he said. “I don’t know. They haven’t. So we’re going to do it.” The word “telematic” gives Smith’s project a sci-fi, the-future-is-now feeling, and perhaps intentionally: Telematic music is a largely untrodden field. Ben Leddy, a cellist in the ensemble, compared the performance to the first showing of a motion picture — an experiment that could be acknowledged, someday, as revolutionary. “That’s a pretty incredible feeling to be a part of that,” he said. Leddy was playing alone in one area of the Krannert lobby, isolated from a saxophonist, a pianist and Smith, who was playing violin. The setup was part of Smith’s effort to demonstrate how music sounds different from separate ends of the connection. The challenge of a telematic performance comes from the delay of the sound as it whizzes from one

computer to another, whether the other is halfway across a lobby or halfway across the world. The delay is much larger with video software like Skype or iChat, but even the software Smith developed still has a quarter-second delay with Australia. It’s not a bad mile-to-time ratio, but that means performers could be up to a beat off. “Even though we think we’re playing in unison, that is impossible,” Smith said. The ensemble played six songs, chosen or composed by Smith after a number of on-campus telematic performances. He said he was “trying to figure out what things work really well, and what things don’t work, and hopefully ... discover musical ideas that did not occur to us previously.” “It feels like they’re experiments in some way,” Leddy said. “But that doesn’t take away from the fact that you’re making music together.” Some of the pieces were art songs, making it hard to tell what was delay and what was intentional dissonance. One song was improvised, testing whether the musicians could communicate with each other while playing. Though the flutist at NCSA and the violinist in Australia were well incorporated into the song, there seemed to be no polite way to communicate when to finish the song; it dragged on at the end for a minute or two. But after the improv session, the musicians sounded much more in sync. The following song was rhythmically challenging but executed successfully, much to Smith’s delight, and the final piece was downright beautiful. At the end of the performance, the audience in Krannert clapped, and in Australia, the violinist smiled. Smith will be presenting his work with the Telematic Ensemble again on April 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Music Building auditorium.

STORM A BARN WITH DAYTROTTER

APRIL 21 - 27, 2011

THE217.COM

Get out. Sound off. Champaign-Urbana.

Music website to host fourth “Barnstormer” in Monticello’s Kalyx Center

by Adam Barnett

onceived in 2006, Daytrotter is the brainchild of former Quad-City Times writer Sean Moeller. And according to Moeller, its birth was “pretty random.” “I’ve been doing a lot of music freelance journalism and things like that,” said Moeller. “I just sort of built up a bunch of key label contacts and just people over the years ... I had a friend, you know, an engineering buddy who had a studio, and we just decided to see what would happen.” Daytrotter is a website where music aficionados and casual listeners alike can listen to and download special “sessions.” Each session involves an intro from a particular band and a few exclusive performances recorded at “The Horseshack” in Rock Island, Ill. The first posted session came from indie-pop legends Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, and since then, Daytrotter has added hundreds of sessions to its archives, which include performances from violin-virtuoso Andrew Bird to The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. You’ll also find quite a few artists that you’ve never heard of, no matter how many terabytes of music your external hard drive can hold. Additionally, the ever-growing website posts videos of live performances, wittily insightful band bios and trademark watercolor band portraits illustrated by artist Johnnie Cluney. Rapidly moving away from its “hidden gem” image amongst the indie scene, Daytrotter was declared a 12th Annual Webby Award Nominee among NPR Music and Pandora. In spring of 2009, Moeller and the Daytrotter crew pulled out another “random” trick from the idea barn: The Daytrotter Barnstormer — a several day tour that features some of the best names in underground music. “We’d become friends with the Local Natives guys,” Moeller said. “And at that time, nobody knew who they were ... They stopped by my house, and we had a little barbecue, and we just talked about the idea and asked if they wanted to do it. They said yes ... so we hunted down some barns.” And that’s how this tour is different from any other tour: the concerts are held in barns.

“I’m always attracted to the idea that the music should be enough,” Moeller said. “You don’t have to have some crazy light show and you don’t have to have some big, crazy, wild, extravagant performance to have people be entertained ... I think that the energy and soulfulness and the general spirits of these bands that we take into these barns — these really beautiful wooden buildings — really does kind of cook up a pretty special night.” Barnstormer 4 comes to Monticello’s Kalyx Center barn on April 29. The show features Sondre Lerche, Guards, The Romany Rye, Keegan DeWitt, ARMS, and Mike and the Moonpies. The Kalyx Center for Sustainability is a relatively new non-profit organization out of Monticello that has sustainability events and onsight amenities like a toilet that flushes with rain water and a possible “toilet graveyard.” The barn hosts numerous events, including concerts and weddings. This isn’t the Center’s first Barnstormer, either. According to former UIUC student Bill Taylor, the president of the organization, “Last year’s Barnstormer 3 was probably the largest event [the barn has] ever had as far as number of people.” It was also a huge success. “The feeling of that night — I never could have anticipated it,” Taylor said. “It was this weird mixture of electric, and happiness, and togetherness and everything ... and the bands all loved it. There was Ra Ra Riot — they said on stage that it was the best venue they ever performed in.” Attendees were so engaged in the last Barnstormer, they literally “move[d] the floor up and down about 3 inches,” said Taylor. Expect an intense flow of energy. Expect to be close to people. “You couldn’t really dance because it was so densely packed,” said Taylor. To add to the intimacy of the evening, Taylor and the rest of the crew plan to build a bonfire approximately 20-by-20 feet, a “trademark” of the Kalyx Center that it features at every event. An event like this doesn’t knock on your eardrums every day, either. “We don’t do these that often,” Moeller said. “I think that because you have to wait, it kind of enhances everything. It enhances the back-story; it enhances your memories. It gets you so excited about the next one that you’re already going into it knowing that you’re going to have a great time. And then when it’s even better than you expect, you’re pleasantly surprised.” Tickets are $15 in advance when purchased from Daytrotter’s website and $20 at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7. The Kalyx center is located at 442 E. 1300 North Rd. in Monticello.

They Run, We eat For those cheering on the runners, CU offers a great variety of restaurants on the route by Jordan Ramos

n Saturday, April 30, at 7 a.m., thousands of brave individuals will take part in the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon, a qualifying race for those looking for a trip to the Boston Marathon next year. However, not everyone has the time, commitment or physical capabilities of running 26.2 miles so for the friends and family of the runners, and the other residents of Champaign, we eat! Here are some different restaurants and cafes along the marathon route that would be worth the while. Miles one and two on the marathon route are on Green Street, home to a wide range of restaurants. To get the day started off right, grab some breakfast at Flat Top Grill, located at 607 S. Sixth St., a half block north of Green Street. Starting at 9 a.m., diners can create omelets, pancakes, egg scrambles or French toast bowls. Also available for breakfast is fresh fruit, oatmeal, bacon, sausage, roti prata (a fried flour based pancake) and breakfast potatoes — plus mango mimosas. If you are in that area around lunch time, the regular stir fry is a great meal with an extremely friendly wait staff. Around mile 12 is Caffe Paradiso, a locally owned café that prides itself on serving Intelligentsia coffee. Located at 801 S. Lincoln Ave., it’s a great place to grab a quick little snack to eat,

like pastries, black bean or chickpea hummus or soup. It also has a build-your-own-sandwich option, offering different breads, meats, cheeses and toppings to make a sandwich just how you like it. If you need to get connected to the Internet, Caffe Paradiso offers complimentary wi-fi. Don’t forget to grab an espresso on the way out to get the energy to cheer on your runner the rest of the way. By mile 14, some real food probably sounds good. Farren’s Pub and Eatery, just a block off of Neil Street at 308 N. Randolph St., has a full menu with salads, tacos, sandwiches and burgers. Farren’s is most known for its burgers, which are extremely thick and juicy. It has specialty burgers, such as The Russell, which contains mushrooms, bacon, bleu cheese sauce and jalapeno sauce, or the Green Chili Cheeseburger, which has jalapeno cheese and green chili sauce. Farren’s has a neat atmosphere as well, as the restaurant is underground. When mile 23 comes around, you’re bound to be exhausted, and you will probably want to see your runner cross the finish line at Memorial Stadium in only three more miles. For some quick food at a great price, Ming Garden offers great Chinese food to go, so you will not waste crucial time at a sit-down restaurant. Located at 1804 Sangamon Dr., Ming Garden has an enor-

mous variety of soups, seafood dishes, beef and poultry dishes and a generous amount of specialty dishes. Also on the menu are some diet dishes, which come with white rice and steamed sauce on the side. These are just a few choices among many along the marathon route. Green Street, which the runners pass through during both miles two and 12, is packed

with different restaurants such as Papa Del’s, voted by buzz readers as best pizza in CU, Murphy’s Pub or Geovanti’s, with different chain restaurants up and down the street. Downtown Champaign, where runners pass during mile 13, is also home to many local restaurants including Cowboy Monkey, a Mexican restaurant with a large stock of beer and alcohol, and KoFusion, home of CU’s best sushi.

College Classics revisited: Ramen Noodles The old college snack gets a new twist with some fresh veggies and peanut sauce by Keirstin Westfallen

I don’t like ramen. I know it’s cheap. I know it’s fast. I know it’s easy. I know college kids are supposed to eat it like there’s no tomorrow. But something about it isn’t appealing to me. Maybe it has something to do with the bad experience I had with shrimpflavored ramen (I really don’t want to talk about it), but the stuff turns me off. Beside the fact that I can get four blocks of noodles for a buck, it has just about no redeeming qualities. I needed to find ways to make ramen a little bit more appealing, or at the very least make me feel halfway classy when I eat it. The side of a ramen package gives a couple of ideas, such as adding meats and vegetables or using the noodles uncooked as a salad garnish. My mom makes this insane salad with uncooked ramen noodles, carrots, cabbage and ginger. It’s impressive. 6

buzz

Still, I’ve never thought of ramen as particularly versatile. However, there are two words that almost make me want to eat ramen for every meal: peanut sauce. Buy a bottle; make your own; stock up on packages from Thai restaurants. Any way you look at it, this is your new best friend when it comes to impressing the rest of your friends with little more than a noodle block. Turning ramen into a stir-fry dinner really doesn’t eliminate the easy factor of the food. After following the first step on the package (putting the noodles in boiling water), throw away the seasoning package. You don’t need it. It’s salty and chock full of MSG. Instead, drain the noodles and warm them up in a frying pan with a little peanut sauce. Stopping there is satisfying enough, but it can get better. Before adding the noodles, cook up some chicken breast in the peanut sauce with

onions and a bit of garlic. Adding some fresh cilantro to the mix gives the grown-up ramen stir fry another classy kick. With these additions, you can turn ramen into an actual meal, versus the snack it essentially was before.

Maybe ramen and I just got off on the wrong foot. Given time, I think that I could possibly learn to overcome my skepticism. With a little help and a whole lot more experimentation, ramen and I could become friends after all.

my heart is an idiot

Creator of FOUND Magazine Davy Rothbart faces the toils of love

by Joseph Lewis

he new documentary My Heart is an Idiot follows editor of FOUND Magazine Davy Rothbart as he roadtrips around the country while trying to work out the messy details of his love life. Director David Meiklejohn and Davy Rothbart will come to the University at Allen Hall at 8 p.m. on April 27 for the third official screening of the film and a Q&A session. Rothbart, a hopeless romantic, leads the film through hilarious moments, memorable encounters, heart-wrenching scenes and the winding, enigmatic world of love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part, it is a road trip/romance movie with some heavy complications,â&#x20AC;? said Meiklejohn, the first-time documentary filmmaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shit definitely hits the fan at a couple points, and it gets sloppy and messy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like all love, like all romance does.â&#x20AC;? Meiklejohn started the film with the idea of following Davy Rothbart and Peter, Davyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, as they traveled around the country performing and promoting FOUND, a magazine that collects found writings â&#x20AC;&#x153;that gives a glimpse into someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life,â&#x20AC;? according to its website. Meiklejohn realized the footage from the tour wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much about the performances but more about Davyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love life. They all then agreed to give an honest portrayal of Davyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No matter what happens, no matter how vulnerable or raw the moment gets, I have

to keep filming.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We made the commitment; we said it out loud; we agreed on it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;said Meikleljohn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was actually sort of prophetic.â&#x20AC;? The commitment was to give an honest look into troubles that can arise in relationships. The goal was to give people a chance to connect with someone going through similar problems. This the same idea that led Rothbart to create FOUND Magazine. A few years ago in Chicago, Davy Rothbart was walking out to his car late one night. On his windshield was a note that read something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mario, I fucking hate you. You said you had to work. Why is your car here at her place? You are a fucking liar. I hate you. I hate you.[Signed,] Amber. P.S. Page me later.â&#x20AC;? Rothbart was moved by how upset yet hopeful this girl was â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and by the humorous fact it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even Marioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. He began showing his friends the note and was amazed by how many of his friends had similar finds, including kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drawings or Polaroid pictures found in a gutter. He began collecting these found items â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ranging from hilarious to emotional â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and published them in FOUND. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say you are going through something difficult in your life and you might feel very isolated in that thing; you might feel like you are the only who knows what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to feel that way,â&#x20AC;? said Rothbart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you read some FOUND note writ-

2010

ten by some total stranger in some other part of the country or world, and you see that someone else is going through the exact same thing. It can make you feel a little less alone.â&#x20AC;? With this mindset, Rothbart allowed a camera to follow him for more than a year and a half, catching intimate details such as uncontrollable crying or drunken vomiting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He embraces all aspects of himself, even the parts that other people might be embarrassed to reveal, which makes him a really compelling person,â&#x20AC;? said Meiklejohn. Along the journey, Rothbart solicits relationship advice from people including actress and singer Zooey Deschanel, former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and public radio personality Ira Glass.The advice came from wisdom that people gained from making their own mistakes in relationships, said Rothbart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Newt Gingrich is a guy I disagree with on pretty much every political feeling he might have, yet as people know through publicity, he has been through some shit with relationships,â&#x20AC;? said Rothbart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was weirdly, eerily insightful.â&#x20AC;? Out of all the advice he received, Rothbart said the best advice came from his brother. Peter pointed out that Davy was asking everyone for advice and disregarding it because all he wanted to hear was that he was doing the right thing.

The film touches on absurd adventures, mistakes made in life, their consequences and the everlasting difficulties of love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a really valuable experience to know that there are other people out there who are struggling with the same things you are struggling with,â&#x20AC;? said Meiklejohn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially with love â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there is no road map for relationships.â&#x20AC;?

La calisto

An Italian opera for the ages By Brittany Smith

he School of Music Opera Series presents a baroque love story, La Calisto, from April 28 to May 1 at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts’ Tryon Festival Theatre. This is the third and final opera performance of the season. Director Ricardo Herrera is a voice teacher at the University and directed the production of Hansel and Gretel in 2009. “We decided to do La Calisto by Cavalli because I have done that before,” he said. “I actually performed it in my graduate studies at Juilliard. “It’s been a lot of fun,” he said. “The one who is playing Jove is my student. It’s been wonderful because I can teach him everything I know about the role and see him grow and then get his own ideas and add them to whatever ideas I had. It is incredibly rewarding for me.” Herrera said that the performers have struggled because the opera is in Italian. However, it has been a great learning experience for both students and the professors involved. During the rehearsal on April 15, it was hard to imagine that the performers weren’t fluent in Italian. Their accents and ability to convey the theme of true love and desire was breathtaking, even without costumes. Anyone who attends this production is in for a beautiful experience. But it’s not all about the romance. Herrera said he enjoys throwing a few comedic effects into the production and that the creativity makes the opera more special. “My goal for this production is to portray the emotions as purely as possible because all these characters — even though they’re mythological — can be applied to our times, to any time,” he said. “They’re still talking about human emotions, so the relationships are pretty clear.” 8

In the beginning of the opera, Jove, the god of thunder, comes down to Earth to restore the land after war. This will be shown by the stagehands pushing foliage through a hole in the base of a tree prop. Water will be represented by the use of light playing on a pastel ramp on stage. The set uses a lot of pastels, Herrera said, because he wants to convey a sense of timelessness to the audience. When Jove reaches Earth, he finds a beautiful woman named Calisto and falls in love with her. The two lovers display an unbridled sense of affection for one another and a willingness to sacrifice everything in order to be together. In the end, Jove promises that he will wait for her. The production is described on the Krannert website as: “Brazen, ornate, sly, trilling and loaded with panache, La Calisto plays as a nuanced study of desire packaged as a sensuous Baroque romp among the Roman gods. Master of disguise Jove seduces Calisto, the chaste follower of Diana, by impersonating the goddess. Their actions rain down wrath upon them from both the ferocious hunter — who also happens to be Jove’s daughter — and Juno, Jove’s long-suffering and vengeful wife. Witty pathos reigns in the end when Calisto pays for all humanity’s frailties and Jove takes pity on his betrayed lover.”

Oh Baby!

running around town Students find time in their busy schedules to train and run the third annual Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon by Jordan Hughes

unners in the area, take note: The third annual Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon is soon approaching. The races will take place on the weekend of April 29-30. Registration is now closed, and spots filled up quickly. Why is this race so popular in the area? A lot of perks come with participating in this particular marathon. The course is fast and flat — in other words, an easy run for a properly trained runner. The race goes through campus and downtown Champaign and Urbana, and it is staffed by friendly volunteers. Runners get a souvenir race shirt, a medal and food. This year, the marathon will start at 7 a.m. on Saturday, and the half-marathon will start at 7:30 a.m. Both races start near Assembly Hall and end on the 50-yard line of the football field at Memorial Stadium, where a “celebration victory bash” greets runners who have successfully finished the race. This year, musicians and cheerleaders will line the sidelines of the race to entertain participants as they trek along their long runs. For families who travel to Champaign to run the race, there is also a Youth Run that starts at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. The race is a 1K separated by age groups, geared toward children under age 10.

However organized and entertaining the Illinois Marathon may be, the challenge of training for a marathon as a college student is quite a daunting task. Such a busy lifestyle isn’t exactly conducive to allotting time for miles-long runs daily. It can seem impossible to get a full night of sleep, let alone train for a marathon. Students who decide to accept this undertaking all agree that it’s tough, but the work will be worth it when they cross that finish line. “It was harder than I thought it would be to train for this race,” said Mary Alex Japczyk, freshman in DGS. “Balancing schoolwork, activities and training was a challenge. Since I started training, I have had to make the choice not to go out on some days so that I could fit in a run and get all my homework done.” Giving up late nights and drinking before a big race may not be easy, but it’s definitely a necessity for those who want to do well. Like it or not, it’s almost impossible to train properly with a tired body and a hangover. “I definitely have not gone out as much. Or when I did, I didn’t stay out too late and didn’t drink during the weeks as the race approached,” said Cass Gunderson, junior in Business.

So why would college students willingly put themselves in a situation where they are forced to give up not only more of their time but also their social life? “I have always been involved in sports, and I love exercising,” said Taylor Wernsing, sophomore in AHS. “My sister ran the Kansas City Marathon in October, so that inspired me to run this one here on campus. After training, I would say that I have gained a great deal of confidence and mental toughness. I went into this training never running more than 5 miles at one time, and now I can go out and run more than that with no problem.” These runners all agree that the skills and dedication gained from training for and completing a half-marathon or full marathon far outweigh the occasional party or social event they have to miss.

CU Sound off

“Pride is the biggest accomplishment for me,” Wernsing said. “Just being able to say that you can do it and were determined to go through all the training physically is enough in itself.” “In my opinion, the number one reason to run a marathon is because you enjoy it,” Japczyk said. “Even if you’re in pain or struggling during the run, if you feel good at the end and know you’ve accomplished something, then it was worth it.” Rather than asking, “Why should I train for this marathon?” these students instead ask themselves, “Why not?” “Of course training for the marathon and balancing everything is going to be difficult,” Gunderson said. “But nothing that’s really worth doing is ever very easy to do. My advice for students wanting to do a marathon is simple: You can do it!”

Are you a picky eater?

’ll admit it: I’m picky. I’m choosy. I have high standards. For me to like a guy, for example, he needs to pass certain tests. However, when it comes down to food, it’s as if all my standards have dropped.

I’ll eat anything. You have a raw carrot and a half eaten PB&J? I’ll eat it. Did you accidently add too much salt to the pasta? I’ll still eat it! But the one thing I can never eat ever again is okra. For those of you

who don’t know, it’s a green pod-like veggie that’s often fried or put into stews. The first time I ate it, I spit it out. So that made us at buzz wonder: Are you a picky eater? If not, what is your favorite vegetable?

“I am not a picky eater, and my favorite veggie is cherry tomatoes because they are crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside.”

“No, I’m not a picky eater. I eat everything that’s given to me. I’d even eat grass if you wanted, but I guess my favorite veggie is beef. OK, I don’t eat veggies.”

“Yes, I am. Does corn count as a vegetable? Technically, it might be a fruit, but yeah, that’s my favorite.”

“I mean, I am, but I love my vegetables. I really do! They’re all my favorites.”

FROM RESALE TO RUNWAY

Students create fashionable art from old clothes

by Ellie Brzezenski

ith the ever-growing trend of eco-friendly materials and businesses, it seems natural that the fashion world would also take strides toward going green. While thrift shopping, aka “thrifting,” is no new concept, it is becoming more popular in today’s society. Not only can thrifting add versatility and individuality to your wardrobe, it will also add some green to your wallet and the environment. Here on campus, students are working with recycled materials to create works of wearable art. ART 299 (Special Topics in Art) focuses in part on the rise of D.I.Y. and green culture and how these cultures have affected our perceptions and purposes of fashion. Students are now working on pieces for their end-of semester Redesign To Wear fashion show, which will feature all original items made out of clothing and fabrics donated or purchased from thrift stores. “The requirements are [that] their pieces must be made of 90 percent [reused material]. They can have 10 percent — which includes zippers, interfacing, fringe — that can be newly purchased, but everything else has to come from the garment itself,” said instructor Susan Becker. At the beginning of the semester, students created “found object fashion.” Much like an episode on Project Runway, garments were created from found objects, transforming the everyday into a wearable art.

Traditional assumptions of clothing design were abandoned in the exploration of new materials for the purpose of thinking outside the box. Students were taught to find fashion in other places than stores and shopping malls, looking to things that traditionally serve other functions. They were encouraged to be as creative as possible, using everything from paper plates to recycled denim and even an old kite. Aside from reexamining preconceived notions of clothing, the class is also about changing perceptions of consumer culture. “I’ve learned a lot about the industry because I didn’t know anything about it [before],” said junior Dana Bernhard. These include reexaminations anyone can do: realizing that clothing can last much longer than the trend it was made for and that constantly revamping your wardrobe can have a negative impact on the Earth. Though this class is open to all majors and skill levels, creating a whole new wardrobe from garage sale items can be slightly intimidating to those who aren’t artistically inclined. However, simple changes can make your clothing go the extra mile. Becker, in reference to the book Fashion Victim by Michelle Lee, said to “use the rule of sixes”: Ask yourself if you will wear the article in six weeks, then six months, and then six years. If you won’t wear it in

a few weeks, then don’t buy it. But if you see yourself wearing it in six years, Becker said that’s worth purchasing. “Then it’s a done deal and it’s a choice that you know you can make,” she said. “Even if you just go through that process, even if you’re the person who stops buying the things you’re not going to wear six weeks from now, that could have a huge impact.” The ART 299 fashion show will be held on Saturday, May 7, at 6:30 p.m. in the LINK Gallery at the Krannert Art Museum. Plus, a recycled clothing swap and “freecyle” will be held on the Quad on Tuesday, May 3, from 1-5 p.m. “There will be a station for the intention of re-purposing swapped Dana Bernhard and Nikita Tomas display some of their sustainable fashion clothing to create functional items designs in the Art and Design Building in Champaign. [computer bags, shopping bags, etc.],” said instructor Melissa Pokorny. “Students Students are encouraged to participate in the can bring an article of clothing for the swap. There swap to learn easy and fashionable ways to make will also be a ‘freecycle’ area, where individuals can their styles more sustainable. Eco-friendliness is not leave unwanted objects [such as] books, music, about making drastic lifestyle changes; it is about small household objects or crafts, art or study mate- realizing how small adjustments and smarter conrials by swapping for another left by someone else.” suming can help maintain valuable resources.

A series retrospective: The Scream Series

18 to enter • Mon-Thur 8pm-1am • Fri-Sat 8pm-2am • $5 Cover (Always Hiring, We’ll Train)

by Andy Herren

n 1996, Wes Craven’s Scream simultaneously revitalized the horror genre and changed my life. I was far too young to be seeing the ultra-violent film, but only good things resulted from this instance of neglectful parenting. The film’s iconic opening scene with Drew Barrymore grabbed me, and the rest of the film never let go. I felt like I was watching a movie that loved me; the dialogue was razor sharp and clever, the characters were hyper-aware of horror movie conventions and totally relatable, and the violence was extremely graphic and brutal. Scream was a horror movie for people who love horror movies, and I seriously wonder whether or not the horror genre ever would have come out of its mid-’90s slump if it wasn’t for Scream. It tells the story of a serial killer (known as Ghostface) who taunts victims with menacing phone calls and exists among a group of friends who love horror movies yet have become tired with their conventions. Scream became a cultural phenomenon after its release in the winter of 1996. People had rarely seen anything like it; it dared to reference the very genre it was a part of, and it contained characters that were smart enough to know the “rules” of how to survive a horror movie. Ultimate “Final Girl” Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), goofy deputy Dewey Riley (David Arquette) and bitchy, ruthless reporter Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) are all characters that have become beloved staples of the horror community. And the film’s aforementioned opening scene is one of the most shocking scenes in motion picture history, as it kills off Drew Barrymore’s character, whom many people thought was going to be the movie’s star during the first 10 minutes. Kevin Williamson’s script, coupled with Wes Craven’s direction, made for a movie that is truly a fantastic example of how a great horror film is made. After the immense success of Scream (the movie made over $100 million in the United States alone), Scream 2 was rushed into production and came out less than a year after its predecessor. The film is, in my opinion, quite possibly the best horror sequel ever made. Poking fun at sequels in the same way the original called out horror conventions, Scream 2 is every bit as funny, clever and scary as the original. Sidney is now a student at fictional Windsor College, and soon, brutal murders that seem all-too-familiar begin to happen. There are some particularly great death scenes in Scream 2, most notably those of Jada Pinkett Smith and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Pinkett Smith dies in the film’s opening scene, and she is brutally killed at a screening of Stab, the fictional moviewithin-a-movie about the events that occurred in Scream. Gellar plays a sorority girl who ultimately gets thrown off a balcony to her death, making the scene particularly surprising due to the casting of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a fairly defenseless damsel in distress. One of the biggest perks of the Scream films is the way in which all characters are suspects to be

the killer, and Scream 2 has a particularly shocking finale that presents a killer few saw coming. By keeping up with the tone of the original, as well as presenting audiences with a fresh skewering of sequel conventions, Scream 2 performed nearly exactly as well as Scream at the box office and was beloved by fans of the series. The series hit a slight snag with Scream 3. While the film is arguably a cut above the average horror movie, it still disappointed audiences due to its mediocrity compared to the first two movies. It takes the action to Hollywood, where production is underway on Stab 3, the fictional third film about Ghostface’s murders. Sidney is in hiding after nearly being killed on two separate occasions, but she comes out to aid the police when the cast of Stab 3 all start being butchered in real life. The problem with Scream 3 is that it strains to make up rules that exist in trilogies when such rules seem to be lame contrivances to an already weak plotline. The cast brings their A-game, and some of the fresh new faces in the cast are amusing (most notably Parker Posey, as the actress portraying Gale in Stab 3), but ultimately, Scream 3 seems stale. Also, the ending is a major bummer, presenting a killer whose agenda is easily the lamest of the three films. Many blame writer Ehren Kruger as the reason the film isn’t as successful as the first two. Kevin Williamson (the writer of Scream and Scream 2) was too busy to pen this one, and his absence doesn’t go unnoticed. Now, 11 years later, we have the release of

Scream 4 upon us. The film reunites original cast members Campbell, Arquette and Cox, as well as director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson, and essentially conjures up a story that takes the wit of the Scream movies and places it smack dab in the digital generation. Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites play a huge role in Scream 4, and the film also has fun at calling out the past 10 years of horror movies and critiquing where horror has gone since Scream 3. The effective dialogue is back, and seeing the three principal actors in their iconic roles is a welcome reunion. Sidney Prescott has written a self-help book, and heads back to her hometown of Woodsboro, Calif. (the place where all of the murders in Scream took place), while on the book’s promotional tour. As soon as she arrives in town, however, her dark past begins to call. Two girls are brutally murdered in a manner similar to the Drew Barrymore death scene in the original film, and things only go downhill from there. It is best to go in without knowing many spoilers, so all I’ll say is that Sidney, Dewey and Gale are all back and ready to take on Ghostface’s challenge. Dewey is now the sheriff in Woodsboro, and Gale, his wife, has become tired with her life and actually sees the new string of murders as a source of revitalization in her mundane life. They are joined by a host of new characters, all ripe for the slaughter. Among the new faces are Emma Roberts, playing Sidney’s cousin Jill, Hayden Panettiere as Jill’s horror-loving BFF Kirby Reed, Alison Brie as Sidney’s bitchy publicist and Marley Shelton as a creepy deputy who has a thing for Dewey. The opening scene is clever and fun for the most part. Also, the kills are extremely brutal and shocking. The stabs in this movie are lot more explicit and frequent than in any other Scream film. As can be expected, the cast is great and everyone seems to genuinely be having a good time. Panettiere is particularly great as Kirby, as she is granted with by far the most sympathetic role (and the best dialogue) among the film’s newcomers. Also worth mentioning is Alison Brie’s performance as Sidney’s publicist, a woman who idolizes Gale and loves to drop F-bombs. Finally, the ending to the movie is absolutely shocking. It kept me on the edge of my seat as it went in directions that I was not expecting. Now for the bad: One major problem that I had was the fact that film lacks good chase scenes/ suspense. The death scenes are all very brutal, yet they are also very short. I wanted to see some characters give Ghostface more of a challenge, and it never really happened. Also, a few characters are not as fleshed out as they could have been, which is disappointing seeing as how the Scream films are famous for having relatable characters. Other than these points, however, the film really is a blast. Scream 4 presents audiences with (for the most part) a movie that recalls its predecessors in a way that is fresh yet still Screamesque. It’s fun, scary, and smart. Welcome back, Ghostface. I’ve missed you.

DOIN’ IT WELL

GYT!

by Jo SangEr and Ross Wantland

Get. Yourself. Tested.

ur regular readers probably know that we strive to approach discussions about sexuality from a very sex positive perspective — that we’re encouraging and supportive of everyone’s right to make healthy sexual choices. We believe that too often in our culture, sex talks focus mainly on negative consequences — all the bad, dangerous and unhealthy things that can happen if and when people have sex. In fact, Jo recently read an article examining religiosity and health behaviors. The article discussed the impact of religiosity (a person’s sense of their religious beliefs, activities and dedication) on risky behaviors such as drug and alcohol use, smoking and sex. The article didn’t clarify “unprotected sex” (sex without contraception or barriers) or any other sexual behavior at higher risk for STD transmission or unwanted pregnancy — just “sex.” This is one example of how the act of sex is deemed unhealthy, rather than certain higher risk sexual behaviors. Sometimes we decide, as a culture, that we simply do not want young people (or people out of “wedlock,” or same sex couples, etc.) to have sex. Instead of informing people of both the positive and negative consequence to sexual activity and helping them reduce any risk they might incur, we send a message that sex is dangerous to your health: “Just say no.” It is in

the spirit of celebrating ourselves as amazing sexual beings that we write our column this week about STD testing.

most recent campaign in response to statistics: One in two young people will get an STD by age 25. Many won’t know it.

Live Happy, Live Healthy

An Act of Pride

While we prefer to talk about the joys and pleasures of sexuality, especially because that often gets denied or buried in our culture, it’s also important that we provide information about how we can protect our reproductive health. Everyone has heard of STDs, but they remain a source of silent mystery, shame and stigma. What would it be like if we all embraced testing as part of routine reproductive healthcare that all people who are sexually active should access? MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation asked this question and developed an answer: the GYT Campaign. The GYT campaign is celebrated in April and was developed as part of “It’s Your (Sex) Life,” a public information campaign sponsored by MTV, the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. For close to 15 years, the Kaiser Family Foundation and MTV have worked together on an awardwinning public information campaign helping young people make responsible decisions about their sexual health. Get Yourself Tested is their

We love GYT. The campaign takes an empowering and sex positive stance targeted towards young people. It also promotes active steps like getting tested, communicating with partners and health care providers, being informed about reproductive health and seeking treatment as needed. Its website, www.gytnow.org, provides tons of resources, tips and facts about STDs. We particularly like how the campaign views and promotes getting testing as an act of pride — not something that is shameful or should be avoided and not talked about. In fact, the campaign has buttons, posters and T-shirts for people to wear to support testing within their communities. Through GYT, young people have their reality of sexual activity addressed while becoming empowered to enjoy their sex life with accurate information to help them best protect their health. Further Protection

Getting tested and potentially treated for STDs is a great way to stay sexually healthy. But don’t forget that vaccinations are available to prevent

infections like Hepatitis A and HPV. Getting a Hep A vaccination is recommended if you engage in oral anal stimulation (rimming). The HPV vaccine is now available for females and males, up to age 26. So if you have never gotten tested for STDs, haven’t been tested in a while, have changed sexual partners recently, or have any symptoms (many people don’t), GYT today! Check us out next week as we talk with a reader about finding support when you have an STD — and much more! Send Jo & Ross your GYT stories at buzzdoinitwell@ yahoo.com.

SEX 411

Where to GYT » Here at Doin’ It Well, we recognize that healthcare is not accessible in the same way to everyone. Campaigns that promote testing need to consider the unique needs of a community and the resources available. Make an appointment with your primary care provider and simply ask for an STD screening or to get the HPV vaccine. Visit Champaign Urbana Public Health District’s STD Clinic or Planned Parenthood of Illinois’s STD services online.

ARIES

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

“Generally Speaking”—time to lawyer up

March 21-April 19

Now comes one of the supreme tests that most every Aries must periodically face: Will you live up to your promises? Will you follow through on your rousing start? Will you continue to stay passionately committed once the fiery infatuation stage evolves into the earthy foundation-building stage? Here’s a secret to succeeding at this test: You can’t just try to force yourself to “be good” and do the right thing. Nor does it work to use shame or guilt to motivate yourself. Somehow you’ve got to marshal pure, raw excitement for the gritty detail work to come. You’ve got to fall in love with the task of actually fleshing out your dreams.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

In his book on intuition, psychologist David G. Myers defines it as “the capacity for direct knowledge and immediate insight, without any observation or reason.” Another expert on the subject, Malcolm Gladwell, describes intuition as the “power of thinking without thinking.” Both authors encourage us to cultivate this undersung way of grasping our raw experience. But Myers also warns us of the perils of intuition if it’s untempered by logic and analysis. It can lead us down rabbit holes where we lose track of the difference between our fantasies and the real world. It can cause us to mistake our fears for accurate ESP or get lost in a maze of selffulfilling prophecies. I bring all of this to your attention, Taurus, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to hone and purify your intuition.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

One of the most impressive elements of the Egyptian uprising in January and February came after it was all over. Eighteen days of street protests created a huge mess in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and the surrounding area. When Hosni Mubarak finally resigned and reforms began percolating, thousands of demonstrators returned with brooms and rubber gloves and garbage bags to set the place back in order. I urge you to follow a similar sequence in the coming weeks, Gemini. Agitate for change; rebel against the stale status quo; fight corruption and ignorance; and once your work has led to at least a partial success, clean up after yourself.

CANCER

June 21-July 22

“Sometimes nature seems more beautiful than strictly necessary,” said physicist Steven Weinberg as he admired a hackberry tree stoked with blue jays, yellowthroated vireos, and a red cardinal. You may find yourself thinking similar thoughts in the coming week, Cancerian. From what I can tell, life is primed to flood you with simple glories and exotic revelations, with signs of eternal splendor and hints of sublime meaning, with natural wonders and civilization’s more interesting gifts.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

I became an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church when I was 19 years old. Since then I have officiated at numerous baptisms, initiations, weddings (including marrying people to themselves), divorces, renamings, housewarmings, ghost-banishings, and the taking of primal vows. In all my years of facilitating these ceremonies, I’ve rarely seen a better time than right now for you Leos to seek a cathartic rite of passage. You may even be tempted to try several. I recommend you do no more than two, however. Are you ready to break a taboo or smash an addiction?

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

It would be an excellent time for you to acquire the Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness Kit, a package of goodies prepared by domestic expert Martha Stewart. I say this not because a Zombie Apocalypse is looming, or any other kind of apocalypse for that matter. Rather, the kit’s presence in your life might encourage you to make fun of your fears. And that would be a perfect way to cooperate with the current cosmic tendencies, which are conspiring to diminish the inhibitions that your anxieties hold in place. Remember one of the key rules in the game of life: Humor dissipates worry.

LIBRA

by Matt Jones

Eighty years ago, an explorer who visited the Maori of New Zealand found they had such good eyesight that many were able to detect Jupiter’s four largest moons with their naked eyes. That’s the kind of vision you could have in the coming days, Libra -- metaphorically speaking, at least. The astrological omens say you have the potential to see further and deeper into any part of reality you choose to focus on. Inner truths that have been hidden from you are ready to be plucked by your penetrating probes. For best results, cleanse your thoughts of expectations. Perceive what’s actually there, not what you want or don’t want to be there.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You really should ventilate your house periodically, even when the weather’s cool. The air indoors gets stale; you need to flush it out and welcome in some fresh stuff. In my astrological opinion, it’s especially important for you to do this right now. So please consider opening all the windows for a while and inviting the breezes to blow through. In addition to its practical value for your respiratory system, it could serve as a ritual that gently blows the dusty crud out of your mind, thereby improving the circulation in your thoughts and emotions and fantasies.

What do you like most about work? What are the pleasurable experiences that happen for you when you’re engaged in demanding tasks that require you to be focused, competent, and principled? I think it’s important for you to identify those hard-earned joys and then brainstorm about what you can do to expand and intensify them. You’re in a phase of your long-term cycle when you can make a lot of headway toward transforming your job situation so it serves you better.

The next phase of your life will be an excellent time to unbreak your heart. Here’s what I mean by that: You will have extra power to dissolve any pain that still lingers from the romantic disappointments of the past. You’ll be able to summon acute insights into how to dismantle the sodden and unnecessary defenses you built to protect yourself from loss and humiliation. You will find it easier than ever before to forgive and forget any close companion who hurt you. So get out there, Capricorn, and launch the joyful process of restoring your love muscles to their original potency.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

“Search For Self Called Off After 38 Years,” read the headline in *The Onion.* “I always thought that if I kept searching and exploring, I’d discover who I truly was,” the report began, quoting 38-year-old Andrew Speth. “Well, I looked deep into the innermost recesses of my soul, and you know what I found? An empty, windowless room the size of an aircraft hangar. From now on, if anybody needs me, I’ll be sprawled out on my couch drinking black-cherry soda and watching Law & Order like everybody else.” I wonder if Speth is an Aquarius? Many of my Aquarian acquaintances seem to have hit a dead end recently in their quest to fulfill the ancient maxim “Know thyself.” If you’re like that, please hang on. The floodgates of self-discovery will open soon.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Odds are high that you know very little about Africa. Can you name even 20 of its more than 50 countries? Are you aware that its land mass is bigger than Europe, China, and the U.S. combined? Did you realize that about 2,000 languages are spoken by the people living there? I bring this up, Pisces, because from an astrological perspective it’s an excellent time for you to fill the gaps in your education about Africa -- or any other subject about which you are deeply uninformed. Don’t get overwhelmed by this assignment, though. Choose maybe three areas of ignorance that you will concentrate on in the coming weeks.

AND ANOTHER THING ...

by MICHAEL COULTER

lunchtime lamentations Schools should just let kids eat what they want When I think back generally on my grade school days, it’s usually a pretty happy memory. The problem is that if I really think about those days, a large part of it was actually fairly unpleasant. There was that bus ride to and from school that would often result in head slapping or at least a few spitballs matted in my hair. Then, getting hit in the face with several dodge balls during gym class usually added nicely to the day. Those were

for a myriad of reasons. But my preferred method became to quickly drink my milk and then use the empty container to conceal all of the uneaten food so I could get to recess. Those little cartons were pretty small, but it was amazing how much you could get into one of them if you really set your mind to it. Eating lunch wasn’t a way of life; it was a way of survival. The thing that brought up all this school lunch talk was an article I read about a school in Chicago called the Little Village Academy. They’ve recently come up with a policy that requires students to eat school lunches. They no longer allow students to bring At my school, most of the lunch their own lunches. selections appeared to be based on a It must be nice to be at such perfect school.
