UI responds to professor’s arrest, release THE DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Universit y of ficia ls and faculty members are responding to the arrest and release of College of Media professor Jay Rosenstein for “unauthorized videotaping” in a bathroom.

Rosenstein allegedly

admitted to the University of Illinois Police Department that he was following and videotaping Ivan Dozier, president of the “Honor the Chief Society” and former Chief Illiniwek portrayer, in a bathroom at the State Farm Center on Monday.

“(Rosenstein) indicated to us that he felt a journalistic responsibility that he had to record what was going on at that time,” said UIPD spokesman Pat Wade, but he declined to confirm the victim of the incident.

Senior in ACES and cur-

rent Chief Illiniwek portrayer Omar Abraham Cruz Aranda attended the game with Dozier. He was planning to make a Chief appearance at the game and was preparing to change in a stall when Rosenstein came in.

He said he wasn’t sure if Rosenstein knew about his planned Chief appearance, but that Dozier had bumped into Rosenstein earlier at the game.

Aranda criticized that Rosenstein isn’t facing criminal charges.

“This man has no decency… Who in the right mind would allow someone to go free of charge?” Aranda said.

Gun missing from Police Training Institute

BY SAMANTHA BOYLE STAFF WRITER

A handgun has been missing from the Police Training Institute shooting range for over a year, though it was publicly reported Jan. 10.

The incident was recently reported in the University of Illinois police blotter, but authorities and Police Training Institute staff are not sure of the exact date the gun went missing. The blotter predicts it was around December 2016.

The institute does an inventory every few months for weapons and ammunition, and after the inventory of December 2016 was taken, an employee noticed a gun was missing, said Patrick Wade, communications director for the University of Illinois Police Department.

“The Police Training Institute has procedures in place accounting for weapons and ammunition at the firearms range,” said Michael Schlosser, director of the institute, in an email.

Schlosser said there are strict safety policies in these areas to ensure their security. Wade said there are multiple ways this gun could have gone missing, and neither the UIPD nor the institute knows for sure if it was actually stolen from the safe.

“At that shooting range, they have a firearm inventory for the recruits coming here taking classes,” he said. “So they can borrow guns.”

It is definitely possible that the gun was loaned to a trainee, and he or she never returned it when they were done, Wade said.

He said it is necessary for police officer recruits to use the shooting range that the institute provides as part of their training.

The gun is worth around $400, according to the police report.

“This is an extremely rare situation, and we are implementing even more stringent procedures on the issuance and accountability of all firearms and ammunition at the (Police Training Institute) fire-

“Things that are in secure areas are really secure.”

It is still unknown what happened, and Wade said they aren’t sure if this could have been prevented.

“Without knowing what exactly happened, it’s hard to say what went wrong,” Wade said.

Inaugural Cancer scholars to graduate in May

BY GEORGE VASSILATOS STAFF WRITER

FROM 1A

ROSENSTEIN er said in a prepared email that Rosenstein is being placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into the allegation.

“If the allegations against professor Rosenstein are accurate, they do not comport with the University’s Code of Conduct,” she said.

Kaler added that video recording individuals in a public restroom without their permission is an unacceptable violation of personal privacy.

“We will not comment publicly on the details of the investigation, but the outcome of that process once it is completed is likely to be considered by law public information,” Kaler said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Rosenstein was released and was no longer participating in an arraignment hearing.

“We are declining to file charges at this time,” said State’s Attorney Julia Rietz at a conference. “The criminal justice system is not the place to gain an advantage for one side or the other on a public debate.”

Aranda said he and Dozier are speaking to their law-

“That was in November 2014 and I am still working in his lab today — ­­ six semesters and three summers later.”

Ea rl ier t h is yea r, Sargeant was named a coauthor on a research paper from her work in professor Underhill’s lab. The paper is still in the review process, but she said she hopes the manuscript will be accepted and published.

The program also consists of classes on government policy and medical device development. It also involves working closely yers about further action with this incident.

“This is definitely the second time an issue like this has happened. The first one is with the Homecoming Parade, the University not being vocal or doing anything about this,” Aranda said. “Let’s see what the University is going to do about this issue. But (this is) definitely something we’re going to take a look into with our lawyers.”

University lecturer and Illinois Board of Higher Education member John Bambenek condemned the decision to release Rosenstein in a press release.

“I was shocked and appalled to hear the news last evening that a tenured faculty member filmed a student from my own campus going to the bathroom in a bizarre attempt at intimidation over political disagreement,” Bambenek said. Dozier, the alleged victim, is a former University student working at Research Park.

Ba mbenek believes Rietz’s reasoning to release Rosenstein is “offensive and a thinly veiled declaration that the rule of law has been suspended and it’s open season to harass, intimidate, and engage in acts of vio-

with engineers across multiple fields, Hadley said.

Hadley said his junior year capstone project consisted of working with electrical engineers to develop viable project and business ideas from scratch.

Miranda Dawson, senior in the program, took her research in an entirely different direction.

“I cooperated with a biologist who was studying liver cancer in mice. Normal mice, genetically changed mice, mice with different diets — and we were able to correlate these changes lence against those with whom you disagree.”

Bambenek called for Rietz to resign and for the Champaign County Court to appoint “a special prosecutor who will protect students from pervert professors,” and to terminate Rosenstein’s employment.

“If we are to treat academic freedom, free debate, free speech and any of the principles of high education seriously, there can be no other outcome on this matter,” he said.

Dozier said Rosenstein has followed and has filmed him in the past. Aranda added that Dozier and Rosenstein have “clashed heads” multiple times in the past.

“My initial reaction when I first saw Jay at the stadium was, ‘Oh boy, here comes trouble,’” Dozier said.

He said Rosenstein’s behavior is not to be tolerated.

Rosenstein is a longtime opponent of the Chief’s use in sports and created the documentary “In Whose Honor?” addressing the issue.

Risk of being hacked

The first group of students from the Cancer Scholars program are set to graduate from the University this spring.

The Cancer Scholars program is a four-year undergraduate program designed to provide students with a framework for approaching cancer research.

The program covers a variety of topics, ranging from engineering to public policy, and ties them all together into cancer research.

Students are guaranteed research opportunities and summer research stipends.

Pierce Hadley, senior in the program, said the program resembles an organized bookshelf full of books about different aspects of cancer.

Four years ago, the 12 students accepted into the program started off by taking a class called Frontiers in Cancer Research.

“The course created a casual, yet professional atmosphere where researchers across campus could share with us their work and introduce very diverse approaches to cancer research,” said Lauren Sargeant, senior in the program, in an email.

Sargeant said she was introduced to the work of professor Gregory Underhill through Frontiers in Cancer Research.

“I was interested in his research and so I sent him an email — his response was that we should have a meeting and I should bring my resume,” Sargeant said.

According to the website of Adaptiva, an IT management company, the security risk associated with Meltdown and Spectre can increase depending on the level of technology cyberattackers choose to target.

On a personal-computer level, passwords or credit card numbers could be accessed, according to the website. Through something bigger like a company server, a hacker could gain access to the customers’ personal information

or medical records.

Adaptiva found if an attacker accesses a cloud network, the risk can multiply, as they can reach multiple people and companies.

The most important step people can take to protect themselves from these two vulnerabilities is make sure their devices’ softwares are up to date, Fletcher said.

Since the discovery of Meltdown and Spectre, major system vendors like Lennox, Intel and IBM have been pushing out software patches to fix problems with Meltdown. People can also check to see if their system is up-to-date

by visiting their company’s website and comparing their update numbers, he said.

Fletcher said the discovery of Meltdown and Spectre is something the tech community calls a “hardware zero-day,” referring to a software vulnerability no one saw coming.

Once a concept, like the Meltdown or Spectre vulnerabilities, is disclosed, there are usually several weeks before hackers learn how to weaponize the concept. This makes updating computer software as soon as possible very important, Fletcher said. okw2@dailyillini.com

The #MeToo movement needs to be consistent SHANKARI SURESHBABU COLUMNIST

T

he #MeToo Movement has had a big few months, from the whistle-blowers who came for ward to the red carpet blackout at the Golden Globes; however, the most important outcome so far is high-powered industry officials like Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Matt Lauer finally being held accountable for their horrible actions.

Talking to my friends, I realized many haven’t kept up with the movement, so here is a brief overview of its last few months. It started in early October 2017 when the New York Times reported that dozens of women were accusing Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood movie producer, of decades of sexual harassment. Soon after, more women joined in the chorus of serious allegations against him.

Although he vehemently denied their claims, he got fired from his own company, The Weinstein Company, and his wife of several years, Georgina Chapman, left him. This dethroning of a powerful Hollywood kingpin because of his sexual misconduct started a chain reaction.

The #MeToo movement was started by Tarana Burke in 2006 to raise awareness of just how many people actually had experiences of sexual harassment or assault in their life. Actress Alyssa Milano popularized it again on Twitter last October, and a half million people tweeted it within 24 hours.

From there, a revolution started. The incredibly inappropriate behav-

Sexual assault survivors and their supporters stand united at the #MeToo Survivors March against sexual abuse on Nov. 12 in Los Angeles. As a reckoning over sexual harassment sweeps the country, leaders in business, academia and other walks of life are pushing to sustain the momentum and to ensure a positive, lasting cultural change without it getting derailed by politics, social media frenzies and outsize responses to infractions many deem small.

ior of powerful men in many industries, not just in Hollywood, was being revealed and amazingly reprimanded.

Although the progress done thus far has been inspirational, many are worried the movement is going too far. Recently, French actress Catherine Deneuve and more than 100 other French women in the entertainment industry denounced the #MeToo movement (and its counterpart #balancetonporc, which translates to “expose your pig”). She was worried that what started as a movement trying to hold rapists and serious sexual harassers account-

able for their actions was diluted to complaining about any man who made you uncomfortable with his “clumsy flirting.” She argued that “stealing a kiss” shouldn’t be an act of career suicide.

When I first read the article in The New York Times, I was angry. The denouncers wrote, “(a) ccidents that can affect a woman’s body do not necessarily affect her dignity and must not, as hard as they can be, necessarily make her a perpetual victim because we are not reducible to our bodies.”

Although I agree that women are more than just their bodies, this is not

allowance to touch or to harass someone against their will. There is a spectrum of what is allowable human interaction, and there is a big difference between “clumsy flirting” and the rampant workplace sexual harassment to which the #MeToo movement has been bringing awareness. I was annoyed that people were trying to stop the progress of a movement that has been helping so many survivors in so many industries.

Then, the Aziz Ansari story came out.

For those who need a catch up, a woman’s recollection of her recent date with Aziz Ansari was pub-

lished on babe.net. The 23-year-old, who went by the pseudonym “Grace,” called her date with Ansari the “worst night of her life,” explaining that Ansari rushed straight through dinner, brought her back to his place and was more physical than she was comfortable with. However, instead of leaving straight away or vocalizing her discomfort strongly, she tried to hint that she was uncomfortable via her body language, but she still partook in some sexual activities. Finally, after more than an hour of this, she left, furious and crying in her car ride back.

When I first read this, I

wasn’t sure what to think.

Although I think Ansari should have definitely paid more attention to her body language and ensured she was OK, it was also her responsibility to be direct and vocal if she did not like what was happening.

Humiliation and a potentially ruined career over this admittedly extremely uncomfortable date, in my opinion, didn’t seem well-deserved.

Most of all, I wondered if I was being hypocritical. Here I was, angry at Deneuve for sugarcoating workplace sexual harassment as “clumsy flirting” but defending Ansari for misunderstandings on a bad date.

After reading other columns about it and watching videos defending or attacking Grace, I think I understand Deneuve’s issue with #MeToo a little bit more.

With the power to publicly ruin someone’s life, the crowd mentality of the movement could easily trample someone’s career over an honest misunderstanding. It’s dangerous when we haven’t drawn the line of what clearly is OK. What Ansari did was not even of comparable magnitude to Harvey Weinstein’s behavior, but it caused someone real discomfort nonetheless.

Generalizing them as one and giving the same level of punishment to both is not the answer. Where do we draw the line when someone’s actions are just a stupid mistake or a punishable offense? Honestly, I don’t know, but the future of #MeToo relies on society still listening to survivors on a case-by-case basis to raise both awareness and proper accountability for this ever-prevalent issue.

A

n initial report published in December by The Washington Post found the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is forbidden from using particular words in official documents, including “fetus,” “transgender” and “diversity.” The CDC was also given specific phrases to replace pre-existing ones.

Here’s yet another attempt by the Trump administration to erase and to confuse conversations surrounding scientific research, women’s reproductive rights and the transgender community.

It’s the perfect example of how different words carry different weight and meaning, especially when referring to such important topics.

Unsurprisingly, these words are pivotal in the discussion surrounding abortion rights (“fetus”), gender identity (“transgender”) and race (“diversity”)— among others. The issue is, without these key phrases, the full and unbiased meaning behind what is said could be compromised.

Furthermore, the phrases “evidence-based” and “science-based” are reported to be replaced with the “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes.”

These changes in phrasing could lead people to become confused and to draw different conclusions at the end of the reports.

What’s wrong with this

alternative is its diction dilutes the credibility of empirical evidence, and it calls into question the validity of objective truth.

This change may seem trivial, but it can severely affect the direction of budget proposals for future research programs and contribute to the spread of misinformation. Specifically, this can happen with research that can affect healthcare and lawmaking decisions surrounding issues such as reproductive health and transgender rights.

Although there are conflicting reports as to if these controversial words were suggested to be avoided, it is important the CDC be

as transparent as possible when presenting information to the public.

The CDC claims the reasoning behind this suggestion is to avoid politicized vocabulary in budget proposals asking to fund research to benefit the subjects of these terms. If the CDC uses different words to describe the same subjects, it could create confusion and cause miscommunication between public information and information used for proposal discussions.

While critics may be quick to say The Washington Post jumped the gun in its reporting, the concept of omitting words from official documents is not a new one.

For example, the Environmental Protection Agency took a “new direction under President Donald Trump” by removing what they referred to as “outdated language,” including the phrase “climate change.”

This is just one example of diction seemingly aimed to confuse and to misinform.

In a climate full of conspiracy theories, fake news and misinformation, it’s important to use your best judgement when absorbing information, especially due to the seemingly purposeful inconsistencies identified on official documents.

crolling through the Reddit UIUC page, I came across a post from the Career Center asking students for input on their futures. I saw a comment stating most of the students attend the University to receive a job after graduation.

Today, having a college degree is vital to receiving a well-paying job and starting a career, but we shouldn’t be here for that reason alone. According to a study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 2010, 62 percent of U.S. college graduates have a job that required a college degree.

There are so many reasons for, and advantages behind, going to college that we should not take for granted because we are here for a limited amount of time. As the new semester begins, take a moment to set goals for yourself — and not just goals that are pertinent to getting a job.

The friendships that form and the experiences you have here at the University are unique. This is the only time we can wear pajamas outside of our home and not be judged.

It’s also the only time we can go out to a party or bar on any night of the week for several days in a row.

After graduation, a lot of us will work 9-to-5 jobs, have bills to pay and projects to worry about, and going out and having fun might not be “reasonable”

anymore.

Now is the time you can discover other passions you have that aren’t related to your field of study.

You could be studying engineering while taking part in the creative writing club. You can also take classes not related to your major to discover another passion and to learn a new subject or hobby. There are gardening classes, an ice skating class and so much more.

It was shown in 2010 that only 27 percent of students in the United States have a job related to their major after graduation, so it’s a good idea to expand your horizons and gain further skills.

As career fairs loom over us this semester and the hunt for a summer internship begins, remember that securing a job should not be the only reason why you’re here. Being in college is a great way to start a career and to have a sense of security for a job, but it’s also a chance to grow as a person and to learn more about the world around us.

I have found that being in college has made me more focused on social justice than I ever was before.

I started caring more for important issues that I’m passionate about, and I am grateful for that. I hope we do not get too caught up in job searches that we forget who we are and the experiences we’ve had here. Just remember to take advantage of the time when you will be on a college campus.

La Casa to host author José Ángel to do with his degree after graduation.

The plight of undocumented students on campus is a reality many members on campus struggle to manage.

“We do see that undocumented students, when it comes to mental health, do experience anxiety at higher levels, and there are many reasons for that,” Robles said.

A great deal of these difficulties stems from financial struggles. Documented students can receive federal financial aid and grants.

Undocumented immigrants, however, are not eligible to receive federal financial aid.

Even with these barriers, the importance of higher education has continued in its value.

“So much can feel up in the air or out of your control when you’re undocumented in this country,” Robles said.

“But regaining some control via an education, I think, can serve as a way to strengthen yourself.”

La Casa has become the epicenter of awareness and advocacy for undocumented immigrants in their education.

Dr. Gioconda Guerra Pérez, La Casa director, believes it is her job to aid the undocumented and underrepresented individuals and ensure they receive highquality education from the University.

“It is our responsibility to provide support to all students regardless of their identities, all of them, and that’s why we need a center for that,” Pérez said.

Pérez said she is optimistic about the future.

“Something will happen and then, whatever happens, we will work with whatever we have to move forward,” Pérez said. Ángel’s novel bears the frustration, humiliation and struggle that comes handin-hand with many undocumented immigrants. He opens a conversation that allows for a discussion to begin on the tribulations facing those like him and how equipped the country is for delivering a humane response to this crisis.

“Story sharing is one of the most powerful tools to be able to understand each other,” Robles said.

BY LIZA SAYASANE STAFF WRITER

José Ángel is one of the millions of immigrants who came to the United States undocumented. To share his struggles assimilating in Chicago, Ángel wrote a book.

“Illegal” is a novel not about Ángel’s journey across the U.S. and Mexico border but about his life after settling in Chicago. He recounts difficulties learning English, struggles he faced without proper identification, challenges he encountered with achieving his degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago and feeling isolated. Ángel is visiting the Lewis Faculty Center on Thursday for the event “IPRH Reads: ‘Illegal’ with José Ángel” in part of La Casa Cultural Latina’s Lunch on Us series. The program allows students to discuss pressing issues in the global community. The International Program for Research in the Humanities is cosponsoring the event. Ángel will offer insight into his immigration story and engage in a discussion with those in attendance.

Since its publication, Ángel’s memoir has been used to study and to further understand what it means to be undocumented in America.

“When it comes to the way that this country views immigrants, sometimes, they’re stripped of their humanity,” said Jorge Mena Robles, assistant director at La Casa Cultural Latina.

Robles works closely with undocumented and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, students on campus, helps with Illinois Coalition Assisting Undocumented Students’ Education and leads DACA ally training.

“People talk about undocumented youth or undocumented immigrants and they don’t picture human beings, and they don’t picture families, they don’t picture community,” Robles said.

“When they talk about immigrants sometimes it’s very idealistic or its very judgmental and it’s not necessarily that they see them as humans.”

One specific experience Ángel recounts in his novel is obtaining a higher education. He had problems finding the right fit for him and even struggled with what eis3@dailyillini.com

Michal Cylwik, sophomore in LAS, studies in the basement of the Communications Library. Cylwik is one of more than 600 students currently majoring in communication at the University.

Communication has a lot to offer

BY PARI APOSTOLAKOS STAFF WRITER

Although more than 600 students are pursuing a major in communication at the University, there’s a bit of confusion as to what communication majors actually study.

William Barley, assistant professor of organizational communication at the University, said one of the tricky things about a topic like communication is that all people communicate. So, Barley explained, there’s potential for a faulty assumption — everyone communicates, so it must be easy to study.

How e ver, B a rley disagrees.

“Some students outside of the communication major aren’t quite sure what communication is from an external perspective,” Barley said.

He described communication as a social science, which is both broad and applied at the same time. He believes one of the hardest challenges a communication major will have to face throughout their undergraduate journey would be finding a focus and sticking to it because of the many different specialties within communication.

John Caughlin, head of

the Department of Communication at the University, agrees with Barley.

“I think the greatest challenge of the communication major is the greatest strength,” Caughlin said. “We have a very broad department ... that allows (each student) to tailor what they want, and that’s also a challenge because we don’t tell people, ‘These are the five courses you need to take, in this order.’”

According to the Illini Success report for the College of LAS in 20152016, communication has the highest percentage of graduates who have found employment at 80 percent, with 7 percent of communication majors pursuing graduate level education.

“Communication gives people skills that can help them in any job,” Caughlin said. “There’s not any one job.”

Some of the jobs communication majors usually acquire are in sales, public relations, nonprofit organizations and health services.

Caughlin said the students who are most successful in the communication realm are self-driven learners who are willing to put together their own pro-

gram and who decide independently what would be most beneficial to them in the long run.

“I am planning on going to law school, and some of the courses that I’ve taken in communication have actually helped me solidify my career choice,” said MaryAllison Mahacek, junior in LAS. “So, while there might be a typical path a communication student should take, you can really do anything you’d like with it.”

Mahacek encourages students who may be interested in a communication degree to make an appointment with an academic adviser from the department or to take an introductory communication course like Communication 101 or 102.

“The Department of Communication consists of award-winning faculty, interesting courses, various resources such as an internship program and research opportunities, that can prepare students for the changing work world and society that lies ahead,” said Barbara Hall, an academic adviser from the Department of Communication.

skills the communication major teaches its students.

“I feel that I am a skilled public speaker. I have developed strong qualitative and quantitative research skills and have the ability to respond and communicate appropriately in any work or personal life situation,” Mauck said. “As technology evolves, the way we communicate is rapidly changing, and studying communication has allowed me to become an eager learner and expert in high-pressure situations.”

Kathleen Tresnowski, senior in LAS, said communication is the perfect major for a student with a wide variety of interests.

However, Tresnowski also assures that there is a lot of hard work and dedication needed to study this subject area.

“Communication majors are most likely writing several lengthy papers every semester and receive experience working both independently and on teams, which is great preparation for the professional careers communication majors will typically pursue,” Tresnowski said. parina2@dailyillini.com

Sushi class on campus endorses wellness

BY ROXANA MADANI STAFF WRITER

The University’s Activities and Recreation Center offers more than just large fitness areas and group classes.

The ARC works in cooperation with Student Wellness through their Nutrition & Food program, concentrating on culinary education and its impact on individual wellness.

Sushi Making for Beginners took place this Wednesday and will happen again on Feb. 21 at the ARC’s instructional kitchen from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The cost for members is $10 and it’s $15 for non-members.

The ARC’s cultural series of instructional cooking classes also includes classes for Thai, Indian and Mexican cuisines.

Alana Harris, Student Wellness assistant director, explained how instructional cooking courses aim to provide a safe and sustainable space within the community through encouragement of research, experiential learning, service learning and personal growth and development.

The program develops a better understanding of culinary education. Goals include improving the security of food and employment

opportunities available while also helping the overall health and nutritional values for the campus community.

The class allows for beginner sushi makers to create California rolls, cucumber salad, miso soup and sauces that can be made at home.

Harris said the sushi cooking class teaches students how to create healthy and delicious food on a budget and how to purchase groceries for specific meals.

“The sushi class for beginners is available twice a semester in groups, so if you don’t sign up for the first one, you can sign up for the next one,” Harris said. “Don’t fret.”

The sushi course has a limit of 16 participants, allowing for a more hands-on cooking experience and encouraging conversation among those involved.

“There is a great social aspect because you get to know people while learning how to make sushi,” Harris said. “And you work in small teams, which allows you to meet people that you might not have if you didn’t take the class.”

Samantha Gerry, program assistant of Student Wellness and senior in ACES, explained the

countless benefits of taking the sushi-making class, such as the opportunity to try new food, to build new skills and to make new connections and friends.

“As someone who loves food and cooking, I am a little biased, and I think that taking any cooking class is beneficial,” Gerry said. “In regards to the sushi class itself, I think it is beneficial to learn how to make because making it at home can be a lot cheaper than ordering it out.”

Gerry taught the sushi-making course in the past, and she said the class was beneficial because it allowed her to refine her own sushi skills while teaching the class.

“I love facilitating a welcoming environment for people who don't know anyone in the class,” Gerry said. “Most people sign up individually for these classes and don’t know anyone when they arrive.

It's uplifting to see them get to know each other and bond over an interest in food and cooking.”

Tammy Jeon, sophomore in LAS, said she is constantly trying to find new ways for her and her friends to take advantage of the great resources available on campus, which is why she partic-

ipated in the sushi-making class last semester.

Jeon said she wishes there were more times available for these sorts of programs. She said she would be able to attend more courses if the times were flexible to her schedule as a student on campus.

For those who have already attended the beginner’s sushimaking class, Sushi Making 2.0 will take place on Feb. 28 and March 28. This class will take any novice sushi skills to the next level. A cooking instructor will show how to use authentic sushi-making tools in order to prepare more unique and challenging recipes.

Harris said the sushi 2.0 courses are catered toward people who have a great love for sushi and who want to learn how to use the specialized equipment to create unique food for a change of pace.

“I enjoyed attending the first sushi-making class back in September of 2017. It was a really fun experience with my friends,” Jeon said. “It was a very thorough and surprisingly easy class, which is why I am excited to continue to take more during my free time.” rmadan3@dailyillini.com

Wittinger sets records despite loss

BY MEGHAN REST STAFF WRITER

Illinois may have lost to Penn State Tuesday night, but for junior forward Alex Wittinger, the night marked a significant career milestone.

Wittinger tallied her 1,000-career-point in the midst of the Illini’s eighth loss in the Big Ten. Penn State edged Illinois 68-59, and Illinois now sits last in the Big Ten Conference with a record of 0-8 and 9-13 overall. With a little over a month left in the regular season, the Illini are the only team in the Big Ten that have yet to win a game.

Wittinger locked down a triple-double Tuesday night, leading the team with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 11 blocks.

She is the second Illini ever to produce a triple-double and the only Illinois women’s basketball player to do so with blocked shots.

Head coach Nancy Fahey said that although Wittinger sunk her teeth into a school record, she wished that she could have done it with a win instead of a loss.

“We’re excited for Alex,” Fahey said. “But I know we wanted to do it in a different way. Although it is an individual accomplishment I know she appreciates her teammates’ passes and the ability to help reach that goal.”

Fahey also reflected on her journey alongside Wittinger during her first year as Illinois’ head coach this season.

“One of the first times I met her, I asked her what her secret was,” Fahey said. “And she’s all about her angles – her angles and timing.”

Fahey said the team

announced Wittinger’s achievement in the away locker room at halftime.

Penn State got off to a slow start in the first quarter but came back in full force with a 10-1 run during the final minutes.

The Nittany Lions locked down a slight lead that they would hold onto for the entire game, ending the first period 14-11 ahead of the Illini.

Illinois trailed Penn State into the second frame but fell behind by eight points by halftime.

In the first half alone, Wittinger collected five blocks and helped the team sink 34 percent of shots. In the first half, Penn State made about 35 percent of its shots. Illinois also committed 11 turnovers in the first half.

According to Fahey, the game was all about tempo.

The pace of the game kept changing, making it difficult for both teams to stay consistent Tuesday night.

“We had to play up-tempo sometimes,” Fahey said.

“Then (Penn State) would kind of switch it back.

There was a lot of switching back between zones, so we were just going to attack the basket.”

The third qua r ter proved to be another battle won by Penn State, however. The Nittany Lions moved ahead 48-38, marking the widest point-gap of the contest despite Illinois out-shooting Penn State 54-to-35 percent.

The fate of the game, however, came down to a tighter fourth-quarter showdown. Illinois and Penn State both collected 20 points each and made impressive runs from both sides of the court. Sophomore guard Brandi Beas1,000 | 2B

Illinois picks up two wins

The Illinois women’s tennis team played against Florida State and Eastern Illinois on Sunday at the Atkins Tennis Centre and emerged on top after both encounters.

Illinois started off with three doubles games against Florida State, winning two of three to get the doubles point.

Senior Grace Tapak had no problems winning the first singles match 6-2, 6-3. Mia Rabinowitz came back from a 1-5 start to win six games in a row and another set to clinch another point. The Illini were up 3-0 when Florida State pulled back one, but Asuka Kawai won 7-6, 7-5 to give Illini a 4-1 win with two unfinished games.

“Florida State was fantastic. I’m really, really pleased with the way we came out,” head coach Evan Clark said. “(They) tested our nerves, so I couldn’t be more pleased with that outcome and how we played and in those tough situations, so really, really pleased.”

The Illini slipped in their first doubles match against the Panthers, but got two wins in two to get the doubles point.

“Bounce back with Eastern was okay, the doubles point was not good, and the girls knew that, and they bounced back in singles and took care of business, which I was very pleased with,” Clark said.

In singles, Illinois swept Eastern 7-0.

The results of the team before last fall are plagued with tight losses against tough opponents, with the extremely close 4-3 loss against the Buckeyes standing out.

The team underwent a huge change as graduating

While most students on campus prepared for their classes the Sunday evening after syllabus week, six men’s basketball managers engaged in fierce competition at Ubben Basketball Complex. A playlist of soft country music, featuring Kenny Chesney’s “When The Sun Goes Down,” echoed through the empty practice facility.

However, these students weren’t playing against one another at 9 p.m. The fifthranked manager team in the nation, according to the Jan. 19 “Kevin Pauga Index,” was in the midst of hosting the manager team from Michigan State, albeit without their “head coach/GM” calling plays from the sideline.

seniors were replaced. Of the four freshmen who were added to the team last fall, three played against Florida State and all four against Eastern Illinois.

“It’s great to see them playing, you don’t know how they’re going to react in their first dual match, and they stepped up and played and took care of their matches, which was awesome, which is a tough thing to do for freshmen,” Clark said. “To throw them in the fire in the first match is awesome, and I’m really, really pleased with their maturity—how they took everything one step at a time and were very professional throughout the

whole process.”

The Illini will be travelling to Chapel Hill next weekend to play William & Mary in the ITA Kick-Off Weekend. Clark acknowledged the things that went wrong Sunday, especially the mishap that was doubles against the Panthers.

“I think that we've definitely put in a lot of hard work, we're doing two-day practices, lot of conditioning, lot of weights, and I think that we should all be pretty confident in our fitness and in our tennis,” Rabinowitz said. “I'm excited for the rest of the season.” ssethia2@dailyillini.com

with the team in spirit as he watched the game through a FaceTime call with a player.

Liss could not attend because he suffered a tear to his Achilles heel while protecting the rim during a game of pick-up basketball with the other managers. Fortunately for Liss, the team’s trainer was still at the facility when the injury occurred.

He ret urned to work Wednesday after undergoing surgery on Jan. 10.

Liss arranges the games through the manager Twitter account, a database with every head manager’s contact information or the Big Ten head manager group chat.

“Coach Liss is our head strategist, and I think he would have made some key substitutions,” Cliff Libman said. “He’s a cerebral guy, and we could have used his strategy tonight, that’s for sure.”

Liss charts offensive effi-

ciency and keeps track of plays during the “real” Illinois games. He arranges the schedule for each manager, makes sure equipment is set up for before practice and operates the scoreboard during it. Liss also converts practice statistics to a spreadsheet for the coaching staff after practice.

On game day, he gets coffee for coaches, rebounds during shootaround and sets up chairs on the floor, in addition to “whatever else is needed.”

After each game, he edits the game film for “2-3 hours” alongside graduate assistant, Grant Bell, and they create a report that’s ready for the coaches in the morning.

WRESTLING

Duncan shines against Purdue

BY JARED FARMER STAFF WRITER

With bonus points coming from freshman Dylan Duncan and senior Isaiah Martinez, the No. 14-ranked Illinois wrestling team defeated Purdue 21-12 on Sunday afternoon at Holloway Gym. This victory improves the Illini's record to 4-3 (3-2 in the Big Ten conference).

Illinois started the dual well, winning six of the first eight matches, clinching the victory before the final two matches at heavyweight and 125 pounds — both of which went to Purdue.

At 133 pounds, Duncan was the first to score points

for the Illini, starting out his match with two takedowns early along with a riding time of 1:57. After a reversal to start the second period, Duncan managed to secure two more takedowns and increased his riding time to 4:30, securing a 12-2 victory by major decision. This marks the fourth time Duncan has clinched a victory by major decision in his collegiate career, which also leads the team for this season. “(Duncan) is very good and will have a great career,” head coach Jim Heffernan said. “He’s capable of scoring a bunch of points and as he continues to learn and

mature, he’ll do great things.”

Following Duncan’s victory, freshman Mike Carr also scored for the Illini with a victory at 141 pounds. Carr had 46 seconds of riding time as well as a takedown in the first period against Purdue’s Nate Limmex. After a 3-3 tie in the second period, Carr secured a two-legged takedown in the second period and then secured his fourth takedown in the third, finishing with 1:57 of riding time.

“Michael beat a very good opponent today,” said Heffernan. “He still has a lot to give.

“I’ve always loved Illinois basketball,” Liss said. “I’ve had 11 relatives go here, so I knew I was going to come here for a while.”

Liss worked summer camps during the following summer and interviewed for the job the next September.

Back when he was in high school, Liss played four years of basketball, two of those spent on varsity.

Liss interned for the summer league the past two summers in pursuit of his dream, which is one day working as an NBA general manager.

His “assistant coach and head floor manager,” Blake Woodard, who is the team’s head video manager, operated the small scoreboard located on wall directly behind the opposite sideline.

Woodard works with the video coordinator to arrange clips for the team’s film study, which sometimes requires gathering footage from various games across all levels.

It is not uncommon for a coach to request an applicable clip from an NBA game.

Woodard rarely plays for the manager team, though he hit a major corner three on the road to end a major Vanderbilt scoring run.

Freshman forward Xavier “X” Tillman, freshman guard Brock Washington and junior forward Kenny Goins occupied the Michigan State (2-6, 2-4 Big Ten) sideline, although there was an internal dispute among the players over their respective coaching responsibilities.

Langenderfer’s match against Purdue’s Cole Wysocki was a close match throughout, with each wrestler trading leads seven different times. Going into the final 20 seconds of the match down 7-8, Langenderfer managed to work his way into getting a match-clinching takedown on Wysocki, holding on for a 9-8 victory. “(Langenderfer’s) experience over the last several years is what can carry him through those situations,” said Heffernan. “He handled the situation well, kept his composure and found a way

The Illini manager’s basketball team is off to a hot start this season. While the basketball team they manage struggles, the managers hold a top-10 ranking in the nation in the manager league.

Izzo’s first Final Four team, and he played 15 years overseas before returning to East Lansing as a graduate assistant in 2016.

It is not uncommon for a non-manager to step in when his team is on the road, and among the manager ranks, it is an accepted practice for staff members to dress when additional players are needed.

Two Spartan managers are from the state of Illinois, and they possessed a noticeable size-advantage over the pesky, “run and gun,” guard-oriented Illini lineup.

“We’re not the tallest squad, but Cliff shoot it lights out,” Liss said. “Really it’s just a matter of running the other team down because we have good stamina.”

For No. 5 Illinois (6-1, 4-1 Big Ten), manager Grant Bale and video coordinator Patrick Schulte are known to fill in from time-to-time.

On Jan. 5, Schulte hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to secure a 62-60 victory over Michigan in Ann Arbor. Kelly was the difference-maker in this game, and he willed his team to victory on a number of pull-up jump shots off the dribble and crafty moves in the paint area.

Illinois held a 50-33 halftime lead behind a barrage of 3-pointers from senior sharpshooter Libman, though it was a tale of two halves for the host team.

“I think we choked on our open shots in the second half,” Libman said.

Following his graduation from Morton High School, similar to Liss, Libman joined the program the September of his freshman year after his brother put him in contact with a former video manager.

“I was a deep bench guy in high school, so I really love the chance to run up and down the floor during a game,” Libman said. “It’s really fun to play with people from out of town; it’s really just pick-up ball at the end of the day, but it feels more legit than that.”

Libman is always the “food guy” on game days, which requires him to order delivery food for the coaching staff and managers alike. During the regular season, the managers, put in, on average, 40 hours per week.

“The people you work with are what make it special,” Liss said. “The other managers are the most selfless guys on campus; the time commitment isn’t for everyone, and I’m

to score and win.”

Holding a seven-point advantage through four bouts, Martinez gave the Illini a commanding 12-point lead with an 18-3 technical fall against Purdue’s Jacob Morissey. Martinez won with five takedowns and eight back points, earning his fifth tech fall of the season. Martinez, now 7-0 on the season, has now moved into a four-way tie for 20th place on the alltime wins list for Illinois (105 wins), sharing the spot with assistant head coach Mike Poeta as well as former Illini John Dergo and Kevin Puebla.

After the Boilermakers won their second match of the dual with a victory from Dylan Lydy at 174 pounds over freshman David Riojas, juniors Emery Parker (184) and Andre Lee (197) scored wins for the Illini. Using three takedowns as well as securing Illinois’ third riding time

point, Parker defeated Purdue’s Max Lyon in an 8-4 decision. Following Parker’s victory, Lee used two takedowns against Purdue’s Kobe Woods to clinch the win for the Illini.

With their victories, both Martinez and Parker remain unbeaten in duals this season, improving to 7-0. Parker has now won his last 10 matches dating back to Dec. 1 at Iowa.

“They are both great leaders,” Heffernan said. “They work very hard, pay attention to details and earn everything they get.”

Illinois is now 24-4 against Purdue since Heffernan joined the Illinois coaching staff in 1992, including a current seven-match winning streak.“We wrestled okay today,” Heffernan said. “I still think we are better than what we are doing at a few weights, but it is always good to win as a team.” jaredef2@dailyillini.com

subbed in hockey-style as play continued.

At around the 11-minute mark in the second half, fellow Michigan State graduate assistant, Sean Sheldon, threw down a thunderous two-handed dunk on a roll to the basket.

Sheldon, who is six-footnine, played four years for William & Mary before playing last season overseas in Sweden for BC Winterthur.

Sheldon played only 13 games because of a shoulder injury, which ultimately ended his basketball career.

He averaged 8.5 and 4.8 rebounds per game during his senior season at William & Mary, and he started all 31 games.

Engel later responded with 3-pointers on consecutive possessions. His first attempt was a step-back shot off the dribble with 7:30 minutes left in the ballgame.

As the game came to a close, there was brief confusion over the score, but both teams settled on a 70-68 Spartan lead.

Shortly thereafter, the Spartans called their final timeout as they led 72-71 with 2:01 minutes left.

Engel hoisted several desperation threes, and one of his shots landed in the hands of Sheldon. Several Illini reached for ball, and it appeared that they may have created a jump ball opportunity, in spite of an arm being grabbed by a defender.

Rather than argue about the questionable call, Libman settled it playground style when he rattled in a 3-point attempt off the front rim.

Illinois was unable to capitalize after the change in possession, and Kelly converted the majority of his attempts at the free-throw line down the stretch as Michigan State secured a 79-73 victory. Yet, there wasn’t much time for either team to dwell over the result; Michigan State’s pregame shootaround was set for noon the next day.

“Win or lose, we just try to have fun,” Liss said. “It’s a really great resume builder.”

just happy that they’re helping me out.”

When Liss and Libman were freshmen, one of the team managers, Ryan Schmidt had the opportunity to dress in a game against Minnesota, though he still brought out the team chairs during a timeout.

“It was really cool because he got national exposure,” Liss said. “We would give him a hard time because he went Hollywood; he was the nicest guy and really good at basketball, too.”

The Spartans came out firing in the second half, and they cut the Illini lead to three within the first five minutes of the running clock.

Typically, the clock runs during these games until the final two minutes of play and there is no shot clock (not that one was necessary with the pace of each team). Each half is 20 minutes long, and during this final stretch, two free-throws are awarded for shooting fouls, and any other personal fouls result in a oneand-one attempt.

Not long after a 20-point lead disappeared, Illini Patrick Althoff hustled off the floor because of a lost contact, while Mclain Engel wgerard2@dailyillini.com

“One of the first times I met her, I asked her what her secret was.

She’s all about her angles — her angles and timing.”

NANCY FAHEY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL HEAD COACH

ley produced a massive 8-0 run in the last period and helped the Illini hold the Lions to only 23 percent of their shots, but it wasn’t enough for Illinois’ first Big Ten win.

Fahey said that Illinois’ loss was due to a lot of little things, including turnovers, and Penn State’s phenomenal shooting at the baseline.

“There were a lot of points out of their baselines and out-of-bounds plays which was a little frustrating for us,” Fahey said. “We’re starting to talk about four or five possessions that we want back and that we’d be taking a different way. That’s what changed things.”

Although Illinois added to its eight-game losing streak, the team showcased some major individual performances.

Beasley trailed Wittinger with 15 points and four rebounds, while sophomore guard Cierra Rice scored 10 points, with three rebounds and going 2-for-4 from 3-point range. @meghan_rest sports@dailyillini.com

Chilly weather eats: buzz's tips on what to eat when it's cold out SHELBI VOSS

I feel like a cast member from “Friends,” but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Living on a college campus also makes it harder to want to walk through the snow to get something other than dorm food.

Giving a quick call to a local restaurant to bring your dinner to you is nothing to be ashamed of.

Takeout is also something you can eat yourself or share with friends, which makes it the perfect lazy day meal. Chinese takeout is extremely filling, so there’s no worry about being hungry later.

Another perk of take-

drive up there, but when my friend explained to me what it was, I knew I had to make a stop and try it.

Poutine is a basket of fries, covered in cheese curds and lots of gravy, sometimes served with your choice of meat on top. It’s the most gluttonous type of food I can think of.

I’m actually really surprised America didn’t come up with this dish before Canada did.

Either way, I think opening up a poutine restaurant, or poutinerie as the Cana-

plicity. You can throw the ingredients together in a slow cooker before class and when you come home, it’s like magic: You have a nice bowl of soup ready to greet you, which for all college students is ideal. Dinner is already served after a stressful day of classes.

However, if I don’t feel like applying my culinary skills on a particular day, there are great spots on campus where you can also get soup.

I have a personal softspot for Bangkok Thai’s soup and pho. Their soups are a great size for an affordable price, and the

While you probably can’t order it in one piece in Champaign, you can make homemade poutine pretty easily and quickly.

Or you could go to Culver’s and be the weirdo in the corner mixing an order of fries, cheese curds and the gravy off the top of a side of mashed potatoes. Whatever floats your boat. wardgla2@readbuzz.com

We live in Illinois, so the weather sucks basically all the time. However, for us Midwest natives, I feel as if we have developed a weather-sucks food regimen for this time of the year.

One of my personal favorite cold weather meals is soup. More specifically, chicken noodle soup or chili. There’s something so cozy about curling up in a warm blanket with a nice hot and hearty bowl of soup. Soup warms you up and is a nice treat after braving the cold Illinois weather.

Another thing I love about the meal is its sim-

I traveled to the Greater Montreal, Quebec, area of Canada for the first time in my life last week. I can say the skiing is good and the food is even better.

The only aspect of the trip that sucked was the weather. I don’t know how we can complain about Champaign when it’s negative 10 degrees every day up there.

If you like food, you’ll probably like poutine. It’s as simple as that. Poutine is a Quebec specialty that has become a symbol of Canada.

When the winter months bring cold, dark days for what seems like an endless amount of time, I always feel a little less motivated to leave my warm bed to do productive things.

So, of course, my best advice for what to eat when it’s cold outside would be to have someone else make your food for you.

Nothing is wrong with good old-fashioned Chinese takeout every once in a while. It tastes good and it’s perfect for relaxing with your favorite movie. I’ll admit that every time I eat takeout

meals are flavorful and extremely filling. Often times, I am unable to finish the massive size soup bowls before I leave. Thus, I always have some to take home. My Bangkok Thai soup experiences are always a win-win: a full meal now and one for at night when I get hungry again.

Furthermore, after braving the wind tunnel on Green Street, having some nice soup at Bangkok Thai makes it all worth it. Truly, the light at the end of the tunnel, you could say. tcygan2@readbuzz.com

BOOK REVIEW

'Call Me By Your Name' lacks novelty

BY ZOE STEIN BUZZ WRITER

“Call Me By Your Name” is the story of an intense, passionate infatuation. Set in the summer of the late 1980s in northern Italy, the novel tells of teenaged Elio’s connection with a visiting scholar, Oliver, and the development of a romance.

André Aciman’s novel has all the elements to make a great, enticing read, but it manages to turn a blossoming relationship into an unhealthy, obsessive infatuation.

Oliver consumes Elio’s thoughts and, therefore, the reader’s. Every sentence is either anger about Oliver ignoring Elio, a comment on Oliver’s physical attributes or simply obsessive behavior toward Oliver, like when Elio tr ies on Oliver’s swim trunks

while he’s out of his room.

The number of pages spent doting on Oliver is intense and frankly, very repetitive. The novel has no idea how to handle this young boy’s feelings and instead turns it into obsessive behavior that is hard to read most times.

The story picks up after Oliver confesses his feelings for Elio, which are very clearly reciprocated.

The relationship begins, and there are countless happy moments for the couple (and cute ones for the reader), including a kiss near a spot where Monet would paint and a trip to Rome where the two have an exciting night on the town.

The

language used to capture these scenes makes up for the repetition of the previous pages. Aciman knows how to write beautifully, and he proves it here.

The final moments, though, truly take “Call Me By Your Name” from simple smut to a real novel.

After 15 years, Elio seeks out Oliver to reflect on their lives, learning about Oliver’s marriage and two children.

This love story doesn’t have a happy ending in the typical sense, but that doesn’t s e em

to bother these two characters. They are perfectly content with the one summer they had together, and they will always look back on it fondly.

Unfortunately, the reader has to endure more than 150 pages of absurdity and repetition to reach these heartfelt moments. By page 100, one is begging to hear about anyone but Elio.

There are strong elements of the novel, but it takes patience to get there.

Had Aciman written the book the way he wrote the last 50 pages, the entire novel would have been impossible to put down. buzz factor: zstein3@readbuzz.com

TONI PANTONE THE DAILY ILLINI

Students take on ‘Heathers,’ a multifaceted rock musical

BY KATIE POWERS BUZZ WRITER

Since November 2012, Illini Student Musicals has aimed to bring musical theater to campus by putting on a production each semester, allowing students to immerse themselves in all aspects of a full-length musical.

This spring, the organization will take on “Heathers: The Musical,” a rock musical based off the 1988 cult comedy. The show tells the story of Veronica Sawyer, a high school student who gets caught up with the Heathers, a vicious clique, and Jason Dean, a new transfer student who thinks the Heathers are

better off dead.

When it premiered off B r o a d w a y,“ H e a t h e r s ” received critical acclaim for its loyalty to the movie while still putting its own unique spin on the original story.

Now, students on campus can see the production put on by their peers. The cast and production team will be made up entirely of students.

Director Keaton Hellman, junior in LAS, is tasked with bringing the hit show to the stage of Lincoln Hall.

Although it is a comedic show, “Heathers” takes on many heavy themes, such as teen suicide, bullying, homophobia and gun violence.

As the director, Hellman’s job will be to portray these themes through the cast and crew for the audience to digest.

“The characters and dialogue give the show its comedic value. However, the core content of the show comes from a very dark and very real place,” Hellman said.

He acknowledges that it will be a challenge to make sure the audience understands the impact of these topics and that the themes of the show are clearly expressed.

“I will be working to make sure the audience will get the comedy and iconic moments

Y-EATERY THAI CUISINE

that is expected of the show while making sure the darker moments of the show can stand out and really drive home the intended message,” Hellman said.

Hellman said the show resonated with him because of how real it is.

“The issues that characters face when it comes to things like being pressured into thinking a certain way or being made to feel inferior to the people around oneself are issues that people face each day,” Hellman said. “‘Heathers’ carries a message that inspires people to shed the weight of that pressure and to live according to your own

dreams and wishes.”

He also said the show carries a greater message for the campus community. “‘Heathers: The Musical’ comes with a message about living one’s own life, away from the pressures to be the most popular or the ‘best looking,’ something that is relevant to the lives of the students at the University of Illinois and those in similar age groups. It’s a simple message that I believe is often repeated to people, but isn’t often heard.”

Interested students can find an audition packet with information and materials on Illini Student Musicals’ Face-

book page, and they will have the opportunity to audition for a role in the production on Tuesday and Wednesday.

There will be a dance call on Feb. 1. Performances will take place April 6 and 7.

For Hellman, the most satisfying part of the process will come when he gets the opportunity to see how the campus community reacts to the production. “I hope to have the audience laughing (and) crying, but, most of all, inspired to make each day their own.,” Hellman said.

“That’s when I know my job will be done.” kmp2@readbuzz.com
