KAMs failed its most recent health inspection due to mold, a soiled ice machine and drain flies too numerous to count. Chester Street Bar, also known as C Street, failed a health inspection because they were not properly washing dishes and utensils. Because the bars failed to surpass the required adjusted score of 35 or more on a 100-point scale, both KAMs and C Street Bar were required to post a “reinspection required” notice until it was completed. Both establishments were allowed to remain open. After a routine inspection on Nov. 18, Kam’s received a failing adjusted score of 21 points and five critical violations. The establishment had spoiled and molded celery and limes, as well as “drain fl ies in quantities too numerous to count” that were found at both the main bar and the upstairs men’s restroom. KAMs was ordered to obtain pest control treatment and to thoroughly

Although Red Lion does not typically estimate their number of bar patrons throughout the day, Moore, a sophomore in Business, always expects a large turnout. With possibly thousands of students coming through the bar all day, it gets messy, especially in the bathrooms. Saturday night around 10:15 p.m., Red Lion’s women’s bathroom illustrated this mess, with clogged sinks, puke-stained

There are many machines and equipment at the Activities and Recreation Center and Campus Recreation Center East, but that doesn’t mean there will be any available. Overall, there’s a decrease in visitors as the semester goes on, but a much more significant decrease in the fall. “After the spring semester begins, we (the Campus Recreation staff) know we’re not going to get much time off,” said Campus Recreation Director Robyn Deterding. “We work hard and long the first four to six weeks of the semester.” ARC and CRCE had an average of 7,000 visitors per day in the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, according to campus recreation visitor logs. In the fall, there was around a 25 percent decrease in visitors after four weeks, but only about a three percent decrease after four weeks in the spring. However, the increase in visitors doesn’t mean more money for the department, and getting more equipment is easier said than done. “We do not receive an increase in budget due to an increase in business,” Deterding said. “Eighty percent of our budget comes from student fees that are paid at the beginning of the semester.

release a Campus Massmail about the sexual assaults. However, the Clery Act requires University Police to inform the public of reported crimes with certain restrictions. The Champaign Police are not required to send a notification to students about crimes occurring off-campus. According to the Clery Act, the UIPD is required to: “Issue timely warnings and campus alerts for Clery crimes that represent an ongoing threat to the safety of students or employees, or emergency notifications upon confi rmation of a signifi cant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees.” UIPD spokesman Patrick Wade said that none of the cases this weekend require a notice to be sent, due to location and the lack of an ongoing public safety threat.
