Manually generated finals schedules satisfy students Administration construct final exam schedule for Spring 2019

BY ETHAN SIMMONS STAFF WRITER

Two people constructed the 2,042-course final exam schedule for the spring semester.

Terry Free and Chase Driskell are office administrators for Facility Management and Scheduling in the Office of the Registrar. As event specialists, the final exam schedule is one of their primary responsibilities.

The whole FMS department is not much bigger; associate registrar for FMS, Kristin McMurray, came up with a figure on the size of her entire department after a quick roll call in her head. “(There are) seven total including me, but we’re down a person right now, so six,” McMurray said.

FMS handles the usage of all 325 general-purpose University

classrooms. Anything that passes through classrooms — academic catalog or event-related — goes through the FMS team.

To FMS, an “event” is anything that occurs in general assignment classrooms untied to a course reference number. Midterms and final exams, RSO meetings, outside lecturers, office hours, movie showings and stage requests run through the two-person team of Free and Driskell.

Free and Driskell assemble and push out the final exam schedule over the course of eight weeks.

Two weeks prior to the start of semester, FMS sends a mass email to all instructors asking if their class will hold a traditional pencil-and-paper final exam.

After four weeks of follow-ups, they filter out non-exam classes and begin coordinating special requests with over 90 department schedulers.

Special requests are alterations to typical exam conditions.

Most special requests come for larger classes that need a combined exam space for all sections or enough room to fit a seat between each test-taker, Free said.

Using a manual approach to handle special requests; Free prints out Excel spreadsheets of the final exams and assigns spaces by hand. Free said there are too many factors to consider, such as location concerns or multiple exam rooms which require human decision-making.

Free then posts a preview of the final exam schedule for instructors to review. Once that weeklong grace period expires, he posts the final exam schedule, concluding the eight-week endeavor. Free said the principles of the final exam scheduling process have remained constant during his 11 years on the job.

“The basic functionality of how things work in itself has not undergone substantial change in decades,” Free said.

Just like when Free attended the University in the 1990s, finals schedules start with the semester’s non-combined scheduling guidelines, known to FMS staff as “the grid.” For every standard class start time, there is a randomly generated finals period the class can default to.

Petry resigns among allegations of misconduct Your Voices

THE DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

After an investigation on accusations having to do with his conduct, University professor Joe Petry announced Friday evening he will be retiring from his position at the end of May. Petry was put on leave earlier this semester when the University started its investigation on these allegations. Petry was teaching two courses in economics, and after his leave, a student posted on Reddit that Petry was on leave because of an investigation.

In a statement to The Daily Illini, John Thies, Petry’s attorney, said despite Petry’s strong conviction of his innocence, the stress put on his family from the investigation was the main factor in his resignation.

Thies said Petry’s resignation was part of a binding agreement with the University in exchange

We asked students how they felt about the investigation “So for something like that to happen to a teacher who is very well-respected on campus opens my eyes and makes me wonder what else is going on and happening on campus.”

“I thought it was very alarming, first of all, because he has had a reputation of being a very well-liked teacher and a very good instructor, but I think the allegations against him were very serious.”

Illinois works to legalize medical cannabis The state of Illinois has recently taken a step toward permanently legalizing medical cannabis, which has been a controversial issue at all levels of legislation.

The Medical Cannabis Alliance of Illinois announced full support of House Bill 895, which would make medical cannabis a permanent treatment plan in the state and expand the new pilot program the Alliance is currently working on. It would also expand qualifying conditions for medical cannabis treatment.

Ryan Keith from RK PR Solutions is a public relations specialist working closely with the Alliance to spread awareness about the treatment. He said he believes that even though the program has already helped many people, it has the potential to help even more.

“Medical cannabis has proven to be a tremendous success under the state’s Medical Cannabis Pilot Program,” Keith said in an email. “Thousands of patients have received the relief they were seeking elsewhere through medical cannabis. Expanding the ailments that can be

To spread its presence even more, the Alliance has also launched a website accessible to patients who might have questions or need the treatment to help certain illnesses.

Keith said the main goal of this website is to help spread information and get people what they need in this field.

“Ca nnaqua lif y.com was created as a resource for people to learn more about medical cannabis — if they qualify for it, where they could get treatment, etc,” he said.

“Our hope is the website can both reach more people to get them the facts they need about medical cannabis and the benefits it provides, and help dispel myths and misinformation about medical cannabis. We would encourage anyone wanting to know more about the program to visit cannaqualify.com.”

“As someone who is interested in the possibility of pursuing a medical career, programs like this have always attracted me,” Yin said. “This has the potential to reach many people not just in the state of Illinois, but across the United States and maybe even around the world.”

Translation project receives recognition University graduate student publishes novel in second language

BY JADE MORGANFIELD STAFF WRITER

University graduate student in creative writing, Edgar Garbelotto received recognition for his translation of the Brazilian novel “Lord,” written by João Gilberto Noll, into English. The novel was originally written in Portuguese and was reviewed by The New York Times. Garbelotto also participated in a publicity tour for the book.

Garbelotto is a Brazilian native whose first language is Portuguese. To better prepare for the project, Garbelotto took a 15-to16-week-long independent study course with literary translation specialist Elizabeth Lowe, a retired University professor.

SCHEDULE Some exam times always switch due to special requests, but most finals occur in the exam period the grid gives them. Special requests rarely come from departments due to exam difficulty, Free said.

“If it just so happens that the Intro Physics class and Intro Chemistry class that this certain set of people have to take are back to back, it’s just like ‘buck up,’” Free said. “Not to be

Lowe said the different materials she covered in her class worked to ensure a successful translation.

“I designed a curriculum for him on literary translation theory and specifically on the translation of Brazilian Literature in English ... and then did a final project, which was to translate the novel by Noll titled ‘Lord,’” Lowe said.

Lowe said she enjoyed working with Garbelotto despite the difficulty of the project.

“Edgar’s a very good student. He’s very motivated and he had a very clear sense of purpose,” Lowe said. “I worked with him on a difficult task, which was to translate out of his native language … so that makes it more difficult.

Normally, we translate into our native language, our first language.”

Garbelotto said in an

email traditionally Portuguese tends to use a more passive voice while English uses more active voice.

“In my translation, I tried to use both, passive and active voice to find a balance that was closer to Noll’s intention, but which was also friendlier to English readers,” Garbelotto said.

Garbelotto chose to translate “Lord” because many of Noll’s writings talked about contemporary issues people face today, such as mental health, immigration, sexuality and identity.

“Besides, the novel touches (on) a point that is almost entirely ignored by the literary world: the fact that most writers in the peripheries of the literary centers are living in poverty,” Garbelotto said.

mean spirited, it is what it is.”

According to a recent survey by The Daily Illini, 84.3% of 51 student respondents have between two to four final examinations this semester. Only 17.6% reported that their two toughest exams will happen on the same day, while 54.9% have all their exams on different days.

For the most part, students are satisfied with their final exam schedules, with 49% of survey respondents thinking their schedule was “Fair,” and

writers in Brazil and probably the most awarded one, lived in a state of extreme poverty in his hometown, Porto Alegre.”

In addition to feeling the need to represent Noll’s novel well, Garbelotto also thinks society should have access to translated literature.

“We need to be open to the diversity of voices in the world,” Garbelotto said.

“How culturally poor we’d be if it weren’t for translations. Think about all the writers and works that have crossed cultures because of translations.”

The translation was verified by the Two Lines Press, an organization that works to publish translated literature, and they made the decision to publish Garbelotto’s work.

Garbelotto shared what he enjoyed most throughout the duration of the translation process.

“At the end, I became a better reader and writer by translating such a challenging writer,” Garbelotto said. “Analyzing Noll’s moves and decisions made me think about the moves and decisions in my own PHOTO COURTESY OF EDGAR GARBELOTTO writing.”

35.3% rating their schedule “Good” or “Excellent.”

FMS has focused recent developments on making students’ finals experiences easier to navigate. Having personalized finals schedules viewable on Course Explorer was McMurray’s idea that Free programmed to life.

Free said they hope to add programming language to account for online finals without set times.

Likewise, students that call the final exam helpline from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. to address exam room ques-

tions will likely hear from Free on the other end.

With the finals schedule posted back in February, FMS’s main concern is helping out students the best they can during this stressful time, McMurray said.

“There are support services available if they’re feeling stressed or if they don’t know their rights as outlined in the Student Code. We’re here to help interpret that,” McMurray said.

“If you’re going to procrastinate do it wisely and with friends. Don’t just watch Netflix.”

Lengxi Zhang, junior in LAS, said going to a library can be beneficial, but sometimes if too many people and groups are talking, it can be more of a distraction.

“It seems like when finals come, everyone wants to go to the library. Maybe the vibe helps the students be more intense about studying. Sometimes it can be bad, but sometimes it can be a good thing,” Zhang said.

During finals week, Zhang said tables tend to fill up quickly.

“If it’s possible, (libraries should) add more tables.

Sometimes one person occupies all spaces at one (table),” Zhang said.

Zhang added libraries can also extend times during finals week to help students, as well as provide

Study in synthetic particles impacts future technology University engineers create new opportunities for systems in reconfigurable materials

BY BÉNÉDICTE YENYI STAFF WRITER

ing graduate student and co-author of the study, said people have seen this type of work before but have never seen the hierarchical structure.

“People only saw the assembly structure. Before there (was) only (a) linear assembly,” Kim said.

To get to these findings, they used a microscope to watch the process. This is where most of the data came from. Smith described it as a “movie” of the assembly process, and combined with this, he modeled how these interactions change when particles are of different distances or rotations. “(Through this), we were able to describe what happens in the process,” Smith said.

In terms of applications, Smith said nanoparticles have electronic and optical properties important to consider.

“For a long time, people have been trying to use small particles for (different) toys; that means new electronic devices, computers, etc.,” Smith said. “One special thing about this is we don’t have a big material that we cut into tiny pieces for our device. It is more like we are able to use building blocks ... to build it for us.”

Funds for the research came from the National Science Foundation, Kim said.

The team has been working on the project for about two years and in the future, they will see how the phenomenon changes when started with different building blocks.

“This project is almost wrapped up, but in the future, we can think about branching into different building blocks,” Smith said.

University engineers conducted a study about how nonuniform sy nthetic particles assemble and found it happens in numerous phases, which opens opportunities for new uses of reconfigurable materials in technologies, such as solar cells and catalysis.

John Smith, graduate student in Engineering, said he and his team are trying to find new ways to use little particles to build to more complex structures.

“It is like chemistry, but instead of atoms, we are using particles,” Smith said. “What is special about this particular work is to find a way to put together these particles that are a little messy in order.”

Smith and other graduate students started by using these particles and found they could turn on and off how they interact with each other.

“You can decide one day they are attracted to each other; one day they are not attracted to each other,” Smith said. “They are like magnets, but they are not attracted to each other. So what we did is, we found the right conditions to get them to attract each other and build the structure that we are going for.”

There were qualitative studies of this phenomenon, but Smith and his team treated it more quantitatively, and they were able to learn more about what comes in between individual building blocks and the actual structure. “(We wanted to know) how they come together and move around in the process,” Smith said. “That has a lot more information on how you can control what is going on.”

Campus counseling visits increase as finals draw near

BY SAMANTHA BOYLE NEWS EDITOR

A Massmail sent out by Student Affairs last Tuesday informed students that there are plenty of resources for them to utilize as the year wraps up with finals right around the corner.

“This is a stressful time for many of our students,” the Massmail stated. “The usual tensions, such as personal and family stress, can be amplified at the end of the semester with final exams, deadlines for projects and papers, and even returning home for the break.”

The letter stated that students showing signs of anxiety or depression during this time may need encouragement to seek assistance.

The University’s Counseling Center has around 30 trained counselors that students can make an appointment with all year round.

However, as the deadlines for the semester start to get closer and the workload gets a bit heavier, the Counseling Center will start to see more people, said Nichole Evans, media communications coordinator for the Counseling Center.

“I wouldn’t say we have a tremendous amount of students who are seeking services at the end of a semester compared to any other part of the semester,” Evans said. “What we do see is increased walk-ins, like we will see the increased number of people’s advisors bringing them over, things like that.”

Evans said increased walk-ins can be due to bad news such as an unexpected poor grade or finding out that a student may not graduate in the time as planned.

She also said it’s important that students remember to take care of themselves during stressful times, such as finals.

“Really the whole thing that we try to emphasize is even though things are real-

ly busy right now, you still need to take care of yourself, and I think students forget that sometimes,” Evans said.

She said sometimes students will come into the Counseling Center without having slept for up to three days, which affects their focus and attention.

Going 24 to 36 hours without sleep can cause someone’s focus to be the same as if he or she were to be legally intoxicated, Evans said.

“The campus is designed to have all these different resources to support people,” Evans said. “Depending on whatever the situation is, we can find help for you so that you don’t have to go through it alone. People are here to help and people want to help and you might as well take advantage of that if you’re struggling.”

Another resource available to students all year round is the Student Assistance Center. With five assistant deans and an associate dean at the office, students can reach out to SAC when faced with academic difficulty due to mental or physical reasons or if they just do not know where else to go.

Rhonda Kirts, associate dean of students, oversees SAC for students who come in for a variety of reasons. She said for the most part, students who are really stressed tend to come in when midterms start to come up, as students start to make decisions on whether or not they are staying in their courses.

“The thing with finals that I would recommend is we want people to get a lot of rest and eat well,” Kirts said.

Kirts also said that she recommends having supportive friends to remind and back up students if they have an early morning exam they are prone to sleep through.

“Every semester we have several folks that do sleep through exams and that can be very detrimental and (can cause) stress and anxiety,” Kirts said.

Kirts said double checking where and when all final exams are would help alle-

viate a lot of stress.

If a student were to come into SAC, deans can act as a referral to the counseling center or to an outside provider, contact students’ instructors or colleges, and they will also follow up with students days or weeks after

they first come in.

Evans said sometimes it’s nice for students to just be able to talk to someone about problems they might be having.

“You can get so into your head if you’re having issues that sometimes just sitting

down with someone who’s trained to listen to you and kind of ask questions can help you find out solutions that you might not have noticed at first,” Evans said. sjboyle2@dailyillini.com

Female artists face roadblocks in CU

BY THERESE PORKONEY FEATURES EDITOR

From mixing beats in her free time to opening for Lil Yachty at Spring Jam last week, Kendra Videckis, senior in LAS, has been on the rise in the music industry. Becoming a self-made producer in the EDM community is no small feat, and being a female DJ in a college town creates even more obstacles.

After losing her father, Videckis turned to music as an emotional release, and she had no idea it would take her to where she is now. One of her tracks is now featured on Trap Nation, an American YouTube music promotion channel which “showcases chill music and future bass,” and she also is a DJ at KAM’s on Wednesday nights.

However, she had a hard time landing the DJ position as a woman, and being taken seriously was a lot harder for her than her male counterparts.

The conversation about representation of female artists is a hot button issue in the music industry, which raises questions regarding how to strive for gender equality in a male-dominated industry.

“The bars on campus are like boys-only clubs,” she said. “The belief that women aren’t capable of mixing music needs to change. If we don’t, women are going to keep facing roadblocks.”

Champaign-Urbana has had a solid reputation for it’s underground music scene ever since REO Speedwagon emerged in 1967, along with other names like American Football, Hum and Poster Children. Although not every band from C-U makes it in the music industry, there are countless groups who perform at house shows and at local venues like the Iron Post, The Canopy Club, Blackbird and the Independent Media Center.

In 2018, just 14% of performers at U.S. music festivals were women, and the gender pay gap at some of the biggest music-focused companies is a staggering 30%, according to a report

by Keychange, a pioneering music initiative. Of the 600 most popular songs around the globe this year, only 2% were entirely produced by women, according to the report.

Since 1979, Kathy Hardy, a guitarist and singer from C-U, has been taking the local DIY music scene to her advantage and has been involved in about 15 groups over the years, with five of them having other women.

Hardy said she never had any problems with the male musicians she played with; however, there were a few bar owners in the area she found to be extremely sexist.

“The C-U and surrounding area music scene has

ebbed and flowed, but it has never, ever died,” she said.

“We have musicians that have been playing here for 50 years, and there are plenty of young startup bands as well,” Hardy said. “I’ve been very proud to be a part of the scene for 40 years. My one complaint is this: The pay has not increased very much from when I began in 1979. I suppose the arts, as

a whole, are not as valued as they should be, in my opinion. We do it for the love of music, but it would be fantastic to be better paid.”

Hardy said although she doesn’t play house shows as often as she used to, she hopes the pendulum swings in favor of female artists. It’s important for other women to see female performers do what they love, she said,

“The bars on campus are like boysonly clubs. The belief that women aren’t capable of mixing music needs to change. If we don’t, women are going to keep facing roadblocks.”

because it acts like a domino effect.

Non-house venues like the IMC are trying to do something about the issue and bring in more female-led bands, said director Brian Dolinar.

“The female hip-hop duo Mother Nature, as well as CJ Run, both performed at IMC early in their careers,” he said. “So IMC is happy to provide a springboard for local women and women of color.”

According to their calendar, IMC has not booked a single female performer in the last eight months.

“There’s a lot that goes into booking bands and performers at The Canopy Club,” said Mike Ingram, a 34-year-old Champaign resident, musician and DJ promoter via Amnesiac Booking for The Canopy Club.

“A lot of the bigger shows are national acts and are booked by agents, and we also need to consider if the

act would work at a college campus.”

He sees the misrepresentation of women in the music industry but doesn’t know how to handle it on a national level.

“My focus tends to be on the local scene anyway since I’ve been a local musician from around here,” he said.

“I have such an affinity for local stuff and try to build up local artists to a point where they have local recognition.

That’s where my energy is placed.”

Ingram said he sees female representation at the local level but not enough of it.

His favorite artists are women, and he has spent most of his musical career backing up female vocalists. He said the writing style of women is often better than men as well.

“I understand as a business, you book what will make you money,” he said.

“It’s like watching women’s sports versus men’s. We

haven’t broken that barrier, and I don’t know how to get there. If we keep pushing boundaries for more eyes and more ears, then we’re graduating a more equal representation and even split. There are festivals that book 50% women, and that’s a really cool initiative.”

Ingram said he likes to book nights that are all women but tend to find some backlash when promoters label it as “women rock night.” Instead, he said, it’s more so to not label it, or list bands, but not mention that all their front women are playing.

“You never really know who you’re impacting, and it sucks because you should be able to book cool s--- and have people show up without mentioning women artists,” he said. “As we’re delving into this time, it’s getting harder to promote something that’s branded like that.” tpokor3@dailyillini.com

Nobel Prize winner, knight, professor discusses journey

BY NANDIKA CHATTERJEE STAFF WRITER

When Anthony Leggett reached the end of his undergraduate degree in humanities at Oxford, he decided to pursue another undergraduate degree in physics. Despite having only taken high school physics, Leggett aimed to complete the program in two years instead of three.

Today, Leggett is a physics professor at the University and a Nobel Prize winner for his work in physics. In 2004, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth for his contributions to his field.

As a physics theorist, Leggett said his work focuses on the physics of interaction and attraction of microscopic bodies, quantum and metaphysics. Leggett is drawn to this subject area for its intellectual stimulation and hands-on work.

“Unlike a lot of topics, at least until fairly recently, in cosmology, it’s a subject where you can actually do experiments,” he said.

Much of Leggett’s work over the last 30 years has focused on whether or not he could build Schrodinger's cat in a laboratory. The system is required to have two different states which are microscopically different like the living and dead stages of Schrodinger's cat.

He said they wanted to prove “that one may possibly be able to exhibit the fact that the system was not in one state or the other, it was in some sort of quantum superposition.”

Leggett and his colleagues’ papers were initially met with skepticism by other academics but were gradually accepted by these same individuals in time. Leggett hypothesizes if the experiment were to be shifted to take place on a bigger scale, such as that of a cat, a mishap would more likely happen.

According to Leggett, for the last 15 to 20 years, experimenters have been successfully completing the experiment. Although they have not yet been able to extend the experiment to scale large objects, the future is looking bright.

Dipankar Home, theoretical physicist and

senior scientist at the Platinum Jubilee Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India, collaborated with Leggett on numerous accounts.

“In the coming years, contributions of Professor Leggett will surely have ever increasing deep-seated ramifications," Home said.

Leggett said there are a few individuals who com-

“What I find most striking is the way (Leggett) combines his deep thoughts on conceptual issues with pragmatic analysis.”

DIPANKAR HOME THEORETICAL PHYSICIST

dents to study “useless” areas like classics instead of physics, Leggett said.

Leggett convinced the draft board that he would be more useful to the country if he were to obtain a science degree.

During his time in secondary school, Leggett learned about problemsolving from O'Hare.

“What I think really made a difference is that (he) not only encouraged me to read the material but also solve problems,” Leggett said. At the time, Leggett was unsure why someone such as himself was, solving these mathematical problems.

Leggett quickly found he enjoyed solving problems.

It wasn't until years later when Leggett was studying physics in his second undergraduate degree that he rediscovered his passion for quantitive thinking. He thanks O'Hare for helping him find this passion.

“I could have never done it without him,” Leggett said.

Raza Tahir-Kheli, another one of Leggett’s connections said with Leggett's brilliance, he was destined for higher things.

“What I find most striking is the way he combines his deep thoughts on conceptual issues with pragmatic analysis, linking the conceptual questions with hard-core experiments," Home said.

Leggett’s unique academic background plays a role in his work in more ways than one.

“I’ve learned so much from the artistic way he brings out the physical content of a mathematical treatment and identifies the hidden subtle assumptions in a treatment," Home said.

Shin Takagi, fellow theorist who connected with Leggett, said Leggett has a lot of characteristics that make him successful. “(His) excellence lies not only in his physics itself but also in his subtle philosophical way of presentation, which makes his papers all the more illuminating and enlightening,” Takagi said.

pletely changed the course of his life. The first was father Charles O’Hare, a desert priest and retired professor of mathematics.

O’Hare said that he had the feeling Leggett had a lot of time on his hands. Given that, he invited him to visit his office a couple of hours a week. During this time Leggett learned about advanced mathematics.

He also cites a former Soviet general as one of the people who helped him achieve success. When he was trying to apply for his second degree, there were many hurdles he had to overcome.

He had to be accepted, needed a scholarship and wanted to avoid being drafted. He overcame his first two hurdles but struggled to avoid the draft.

“This was the last year of the intake of the draft," he said. "I had already been deferred for four years for my undergraduate. Here I came asking for two more to complete a physics degree.”

The general was the head of the team of Soviet engineers that put up the first Sputnik in October of 1957.

From the journalists and the politicians across the UK, all were struck by how the Soviet Union was able to get ahead in the Space Race. They concluded the country had allowed its best and brightest stu- nandika2@dailyillini.com

The Blue Moon Farm in Urbana grows vegetables for local farmer’s markets, restaurants and stores. The farm consists of 20 acres dedicated to vegetable production and 10 high tunnels totaling just under half an acre of year-round production.

Urbana farm practices sustainability

BY ANNA PEVEY STAFF WRITER

When Lorien Carsey started working on a farm as a part-time job, she was skeptical if she would enjoy it. Some people are drawn to farm work and turns out Carsey is one of those people.

Carsey and Shea Belahi are the co-owners and managers of Blue Moon Farm in Urbana.

“I started in 1999, and I fell in love with the work but took a break to go to graduate school,” Carsey said.

"Little did I know I couldn’t stay away. I missed the physical work, being outside and the contact with the community. I joined Blue Moon in 2009 and have just been working my way up until now with Shea as a co-owner and manager.”

The farm itself was founded in 1995 by John Cherniss and Michelle Wander.

Belahi said Cherniss had long been a farmer, and Wander had actually moved to the area to teach at the University.

In 2015, Cherniss brought Carsey and Belahi on as comanagers, so he and Wander were going to take a step back.

As far as experience before joining the Blue Moon crew, both Wander and Belahi had experience either working on a farm or running their own.

Belahi said, “I had owned my own farm for a few years.

It was small, and I was just starting out. John reached out to me, wanting to talk about (a) potential partnership or working at Blue Moon. We all, John, Lorien and I, had a meeting and discussed what each of us working together would look like.”

There would be many pros

to the job, as far as Belahi and Carsey were concerned.

After joining Blue Moon in 2009, Carsey loved the idea of bringing the type of crops that Blue Moon had to the community, so taking a larger role as an owner was even more exciting.

Working at Blue Moon Farm gave Belahi equipment and products she had long been seeking.

“John had already had this whole farm established and the equipment that I had been seeking,” Belahi said.

Belahi said she also found joy in both the process and product her work gave her.

“There were so many people working and buying from the farm, so I immediately had a support network that I didn’t have with my own farm because it was so much work that I had done on my own,” Belahi said.

Blue Moon’s goals have only been strengthened by Carsey and Belahi.

At Blue Moon, the farmers preach about keeping the soil quality healthy, both for the farm and for the products that are being sold to consumers. The farm, who has been certified organic since 1999, is committed to sustainable farming practices.

“Through the years of farming, farmers can take and take from soil and wear it out," Belahi said. "We use cover croppings and grow things that help with weed suppression naturally and add back to the soil. There are so many precautions that we can take to keep the soil healthy.”

Their treatment of the environment and the soil is something Carsey said “directly affects the taste and quality of the crops, which is

important to our consumers," she said.

Fresh crops are regarded highly by customers.

Belahi described their focus as “connecting directly with our consumers: the customers. Our biggest sales are direct to consumers through things like farmers markets and through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).”

To the farmers at Blue Moon, the most important link and one of the main focuses on the farm is how to reach our community.

They do this through farmer’s markets and quality crops.

“We bring crops with the quality and taste that you can’t find in the grocery stores,” Belahi said. “When people try vegetables from the store and then try ours, and are blown away by the difference, it changes their mind about the vegetables."

Belahi and Carsey often work the farmer’s markets for Blue Moon and are happy to see the customers excited about the variety of their crops.

“I see familiar faces that light up when we bring crops,” Carsey said. “Seeing people so excited when we bring fresh heirloom tomatoes that they think are delicious. Tomatoes are grown for grocery stores with taste and quality in mind.”

Belahi said knowing about the farm’s customers is important.

“They care about us as much as we care about them, and that is really important,” Belahi said. “The relationship you build with people is really special to us.” pevey2@dailyillini.com

You are not alone in your struggles KIMBERLY NGOH COLUMNIST

is for life to start working itself out post freshman year. Naturally, this may lead to feelings of panic and incompetence when you hear about your friend receiving multiple job offers or feelings of loneliness and depression when you crave the security of a trusted friend group, like the one you had in high school.

More importantly, the stigma associated with mental health can sometimes push one to suppress their emotions, but the truth is, no one should have to feel nervous, guilty or embarrassed about feeling depressed or anxious.

Recognizing you are hurting, being honest and talking about your problems is certainly no easy feat but one necessary in overcoming its effects.

Explaining your experiences to a therapist, a close family member, mentor or friend you trust can be enlightening.

Do not fret about a job offer yet to come or the fact you don’t even know if this is the right path for you.

Everyone moves at their own pace, and comparison gets you nowhere. Being mindful and self-aware of what you are going through and what you can change about your situation will contribute toward your journey of self-discovery, whether it is taking measures to combat your procrastination habits, cutting out toxic friendships or changing the concentration of your major.

College can be seen as a time of exploration — figuring out what you want to do post-graduation, discovering who your true friends are and finding what works for you in terms of balancing grades, a social life and sleep. For some of us, it may feel like we have yet to get our lives together while everyone else seems to be on track.

Looking back, college was an exciting prospect for me. Like most people, I began freshman year with hopes high of replicating friendships it took years to build and expectations I would enjoy every bit of newfound freedom.

Albeit not applicable to everyone, these expectations can set one up for disappointment. Furthermore, it can be rough trying to live up to the standards you upheld in high school. For a myriad of reasons, freshman year can be a difficult time, but it’s important to remember struggling is ok.

As a sophomore or beyond, it may feel like you no longer get to play the freshman card, having had a whole year or more to adjust to life here. Nevertheless, not knowing what you’ll do for a career or still feeling lonely sometimes and being unable to get eight hours of sleep while managing a social life and good grades are valid struggles. Know you are Kimberly is a junior in not alone in these struggles Engineering.

THE DAILY ILLINI EDITORIAL

Find a study spot on campus With finals season and term deadlines rapidly approaching, it can seem impossible to find a seat at your favorite study location. With the stress of everything piling up, the last thing you need is to be unable to get your work done.

We’ve put together the following list of our five favorite and five not-sofavorite study nooks on campus to help you find the perfect spot to crank out those papers, put the finishing touches on those projects or prepare to ace those exams.

Spots to check out I just aced my paper!! :’)

le so B

1. You can never go wrong with the Main Library; it has everything you’ll need to study efficiently. The long wooden tables provide more than enough space for you to spread out. The chairs are just comfortable enough to ensure you won’t have to get up to stretch constantly but not so comfortable you run the risk of dozing off. Outlets for all of your charging needs are also readily available.

2. On a pretty day, the Main Quad is the place to be. A nice breeze, fresh air and a little sun can work wonders on putting you in a productive mood. Bring your laptop, some headphones and a blanket to sit

on and you’ve got it made in the shade. (Or in the sunshine, depending on where you position yourself.) Watch out for frisbees, though.

3. With its abundance of natural sunlight and comfy chairs, the fourth floor of Grainger is always a winner for hardcore study sessions. Whether you’re by yourself or with friends, it has a place for everyone to sit. Here, you’ll never have to worry about your phone or laptop dying because there are outlets everywhere you look. Just make sure you get there early because it can get crowded!

4. For those of you who like to study with the aroma of coffee swirling in the air, Espresso Royale might be your happy place. The consistent small talk and the mechanical whir of the various blenders and grinders make for excellent background noise. What’s not to like about artsy little tables and hot, exhaustionerasing beverages right at your fingertips?

5. Curled up on one of the relaxing chairs or couches in the basement atrium of the English Building, you’ll never want to leave. In the perfect balance of quiet and noise, you can get your work done, virtually distraction-free. The atrium never houses more than a

few dozen students pounding out assignments, and the intimate space is great for solo study sessions.

Spots to avoid

1. There’s a reason Grainger Library gets a bad reputation, and it’s because of the basement. With its lack of natural light, dingy tables and the Computer-Based Testing Facility, it definitely gives off a dungeon vibe. If you have your heart set on Grainger though, have no fear. If you take a look at the good list, we highly recommend the fourth floor for studying.

2. Only under the most dire of circumstances would we suggest attempting to study in the basement of the Illini Union. Not only is it loud and ceaselessly busy with foot traffic, it is also difficult to find a seat at one of the over-crowded, crumb-ridden tables. If you need a place for a quick bite or a meet-up with some friends, this is the place, but as far as study spaces go, this one shouldn’t even be considered.

3. Dorm lounges on campus are great for many things. However, studying is not one of them. Either they’re so packed and noisy you can’t hear yourself think let alone solve those double integrals, or they’re so empty and

devoid of students there’s nothing stopping you from guiltlessly streaming Netflix. Neither scenario promotes the type of studying needed for success.

4. Bubble tea is a Campustown favorite, but if you’re hoping to study at a spot where you can enjoy it, avoid Latea Bubble Tea Lounge. While the drinks are good, the seating is limited and uncomfortable and the atmosphere is cold and empty.

The space in general is far too packed to allow for the level of focus required for effective studying. If boba and studying absolutely go hand-in-hand for you, consider Kung Fu Tea or Teamoji instead.

5. The Undergraduate Library may be the natural choice for a lot of people, but it actually is a terrible study environment.

The struggle of finding a seat, the horrible lighting and the uncomfortable chairs all add up to make a horrible option when you’re trying to crush your finals. With tons of better study spots (and libraries) on campus, the UGL probably falls at the bottom of the ticket.

With this list, we hope we’ve eliminated the stress of having to find the perfect place to study during finals.

Good luck, everyone!

CHANTAL VACA THE DAILY ILLINI

Nationalism wave should be acknowledged, not scorned COLE TIMMERWILKE COLUMNIST

To many political observers, President Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election came as a shock. Professional pollsters and the commentariat were almost unanimous in predicting a landslide victory for Clinton, and although it has been noted by some that the polling lead she enjoyed was somewhat overstated, the predominant response was still bewilderment.

Subsequent explanations of the 2016 election have fallen into two main categories. On the one hand, some remain bewildered, unconvinced that there is any rational explanation for much of

America voting the way it did. On the other, those who are willing to offer a rational explanation focus on the particulars of the American situation: an unlikeable candidate, foreign interference, the release of the Comey letter a week before the election and so on.

Both camps share a conviction that whatever the reason for his election, President Trump is an historical aberration, a temporary pause in the forward march of history that politics as normal will resume as soon as he is out of the White House.

But such a view fails to see 2016 is not an isolated incident or inexplicable, but part of a worldwide reaction to some of the major trends of the last century. Ignoring that reality has cheapened public discourse, allowing

the opponents of President Trump to dismiss him out of hand for his personal failings without engaging with the ideas that animated his election.

The central animating force is a resurgent nationalism, reacting against globalization in all of its manifestations but particularly its economic, demographic and cultural displacements.

Across the Western world, there have been similar surges of this new nationalism, seen in the U.K.’s 2016 vote to leave the European Union, the success of nationalist parties both in Western Europe, as with the French National Rally and the coalition government in Italy between the Five Star Movement and the Lega Nord, as well as in Eastern Europe with Viktor Orban’s govern-

ment in Hungary.

Although perhaps most prominent in the West, there are new nationalists all over the world: Narendra Modi, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Jair Bolsonaro all are reacting to the challenges of globalization.

Though there is much variety in the nature of this new nationalist movement, there are certain features common to all of them.

Some of the most prominent threads are the revitalization of a nation’s cultural patrimony, especially in those countries that have absorbed large numbers of immigrants; the reassertion of national sovereignty in the face of supranational decision-making bodies like the United Nations or the E.U.; and a determination to put the interests of a nation’s citi-

zens as the foremost priority in formulating policy, particularly in matters of economics and trade.

One may disagree with the arguments put forward by these new nationalists, but failing to engage with them impoverishes one’s understanding of the new political reality.

Although sometimes hard to see amidst the tumult of the day-to-day, there are serious concerns, shared by people across the world, that helped bring the president to office. Those who oppose him should look to address the concerns of the people who voted for him, and not simply heap scorn on them.

That attitude contributed to his election in the first place.

Illinois’ Isaiah Martinez wrestles with Maryland’s Brendan Burnham in the 165 pound weight class during the meet at Huff Hall on Jan. 28, 2018. The Illini won 25-18. Martinez won back-to-back U.S. Open Freestyle titles over the weekend.

Former lllini Martinez wins second US open title

BY JJ KIM ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Former Illini wrestler and current volunteer coach Isaiah Martinez collected backto-back U.S. Open Freestyle titles in Las Vegas this past weekend.

After his victory at South Point Arena, the 74-kilogram wrestler qualified for the 2019 World Team Trials Chal-

lenge Tournament WrestleOff. If he continues to string victories together, Martinez could advance to the Final X, a best of three series against Jordan Burroughs, who was last year’s bronze medalist.

Should he win in the Final X, Martinez would earn a spot on the U.S. Senior World Team.

Martinez outlasted his

opponent Tommy Gantt 6-4 in the finals. After getting up to a strong 6-0 lead, the score proved to be insurmountable for Gantt.

The Lemoore, California native’s success shouldn’t come as a surprise because of his impressive career as a wrestler for the Illini. Similar to his success in the U.S. Open Freestyle titles, Martinez was

a back-to-back NCAA champion in 2015 and 2016. With a 116-3 overall record, he was named an All-American four times and ranks 10th all-time on Illinois’ all-time win list.

Moreover, freshman Zac Braunagel was able to earn a spot on the Junior World Team in Greco Roman at 82 kilograms. Braunagel bested his opponent Max Wohla-

baugh 2-0 as he punched his ticket to Estonia, where he’ll compete in the Junior World Championships from Aug. 12-18, per fightingillini.com.

Braunagel and his twin brother, Danny, both notched second-place finishes in their individual freestyle brackets. Zac claimed his victory at 86 kilograms while Danny won at 74 kilograms. Anoth-

er freshman, Justin Cardani, finished in seventh place at the U.S. Junior Open.

For Martinez, the World Team Trials are right around the corner and he’ll have to head down to Reynolds Coliseum at North Carolina State University on May 17-19. @JJKimSports jjk7@dailyillini.com

Illinois breaks seven-game losing streak

BY RACHEL SPENCER ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

The Illinois softball team claimed a win on its home turf on Tuesday, beating DePaul 7-0. This week’s matchup marked the team’s first return home to Urbana after being swept by Michigan during a home series in April.

The Illini’s win this weekend breaks a seven-game losing streak, as the team has struggled through conference play in April. All seven of the matchups that made up Illinois’ losing streak were against conference teams: Michigan,Northwestern and Ohio State. In the threegame series against Ohio State last weekend, Illinois only scored six runs the entire series, a scoring record the team surpassed against DePaul on Tuesday with seven runs in one game.

Redshirt senior third baseman Annie Fleming led Illinois in runs, scoring twice against DePaul. Redshirt senior infielder Carly Thomas kept pace with Fleming at the plate, match-

ing her classmate’s two hits while also picking up two RBIs. Sophomore and Illinois native Shelby Stauffenberg led the Illini in RBIs, however, earning three while serving as pinch hitter. Fleming, Thomas and Stauffenberg all punched their tickets for a round-tripper, with all three hitting home runs during the game.

Sophomore catcher Bella Loya was also among those who scored for the Illini, but the leading slugger didn’t manage a single hit in the game. In total, Illinois scored seven runs on nine hits, earning three runs off DePaul’s Natalie Halvorson.

On the mound, the day belonged to senior pitcher Taylor Edwards. Edwards has seen action throughout the season, relieving fellow pitchers like freshman Sydney Sickels and senior Emily Oestreich, but Tuesday’s effort and win were solely attributable to Edwards, who pitched all five innings before inclement weather brought the game to an end.

mound, Edwards allowed only two hits, struck out five and walked two. The performance is notably different from Edwards’ start on Saturday on the road against Ohio State, where she allowed 10 hits and gave up seven earned runs, also in five innings.

Illinois will remain home

at Eichelberger Field for its final conference series before the Big Ten Tournament in Bloomington, Indiana. Illinois will host Purdue from Friday to Sunday to close out the regular season. The upcoming series will give the Illini a chance to even out their lopsided conference record, which currently

stands at 6-14, before tournament competition begins. It will prove to be a test for the Illini, who have not managed to maintain a winning streak longer than three games since February’s non-conference tournaments.

With just three regular season games left, the Illinois softball team is looking to earn its third Big Ten series win this weekend. The Purdue Boilermakers will travel to Champaign this weekend for a three-game series, which will also mark their last regular-season series.

Illinois will come into the series off a mid-week 7-0 win against non conference opponent DePaul, which snapped its previous seven-game losing streak. With a recent stretch against nationally-ranked teams, the Illini have shown signs SEE BIG TEN | 4B

Illinois continues conference streak

BY MILES POWERS-HUANG STAFF WRITER

The Illinois baseball team collected its third straight conference series win as it took two of three games from Nebraska in Lincoln over the weekend.

The Illini got things going early on Friday and led 6-0 by the end of the third inning.

The run support was plenty for redshirt senior starting pitcher Andy Fisher, who gave up just three hits and one run over seven innings of work, striking out eight on the way to an 8-1 Illinois victory.

“When (Fisher) was in the zone, he was basically unhittable,” said head coach Dan Hartleb per fightingillini. com. “He has done such a great job for us all year and continued that.”

For the Illini offense, senior third baseman Grant Van Scoy went 4-for-5 with three runs batted in, and freshman outfielder Cam McDonald drove in two runs

as well.

Saturday’s contest started similarly to Friday’s, as Illinois jumped out to an early lead again. Already ahead 2-1 in the third, the Illini received a big boost from redshirt senior Zac Taylor, who homered to center, marking his seventh on the season.

However, the Illinois pitching staff couldn’t hold the lead, as junior Ty Weber, freshman Nathan Lavender and sophomore Josh Harris each allowed an earned run.

With the game knotted at three in the ninth, Nebraska’s Joe Acker singled off of Illinois redshirt senior reliever Quinten Sefcik to bring home the walk off run for a 4-3 Husker victory.

“We beat ourselves,” Hartleb said in a statement on fightingillini.com. “Three of their runs came off two walks and a hit by pitch. Nebraska has been struggling at the plate lately and the only way they scored was by us giving it to them, then they took

advantage of it. You have to give them credit for that.”

Senior Jack Yalowitz picked up a base hit in the loss after having two in Friday’s game, but some may not have realized it. Forced to wear the 22 jersey of Cyrillo Watson due to lost luggage, the senior was without any of his own equipment but did not let it affect his performance.

Back in his usual number three jersey for Sunday, Yalowtiz smacked a linedshot that got out in a hurry for a two-run homer in his first at-bat.

The Huskers would fight back, however, and the game would be tied 4-4 heading into the ninth.

Fortunately for the Illini, redshirt freshman first baseman Kellen Sarver picked up his lone hit of the day, a tworun double, to give Illinois the 6-4 lead.

“That was a great at-bat,” Hartleb said.“ (Sarver) had a really, really good approach.

He caught a mistake and

MEN’S GOLF

drilled it. (It was an) unbelievable at-bat and a huge hit for him. Really proud of his composure.”

The bottom half of the inning was a nervy one for the Illini as the usually reliable junior closer Garrett Acton surrendered a run and dealt with runners on second and third with two outs before getting a groundout to finish off his 14th save.

After dropping 2 of 3 to Maryland at home three weeks ago, Illinois bounced back and is 8-4 since.

“It’s consistency,” Yalowitz said. “Consistency on the mound, throwing a lot strikes (and) getting guys out. Then in the box, putting good swings on balls, not letting pitchers on opposing teams get us out. We’ve done a pretty good job the last couple of weeks staying composed and having simple approaches on AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI the mound and at the plate.” Catcher Jacob Campbell (right) celebrates with third baseman @MilesP_H milesp2@dailyillini.com

Small named Coach of the Year Diab to represent US in Italy Four golfers earn All-Big Ten honors

BY BRENDYN JONES STAFF WRITER

Illinois men’s golf head coach Mike Small was honored with Big Ten Golf Coach of the Year award on Tuesday after the team won its fifth consecutive Big Ten Championship.

This is the 11th time Small has been named Big Ten Coach of the Year and it’s his fifth in a row. This season, he led the young Illini team to their 10th

Big Ten Championship in 11 years.

The team was without seniors this year after being led by Nick Hardy and Dylan Meyer last season.

Without a senior presence, the Illini relied on performances from younger golfers like freshman Adrien Dumont de Chassart and sophomore Varun Chopra in the last weeks of the season.

Belgium-native Dumont de Chassart has been an important part of the team all season and tied for first in the Big Ten tournament, earning him his second team All-Big Ten. Three other Illini golfers

in total earned All-Big Ten honors, including juniors Michael Feagles, Bryan Baumgarten and Giovanni Tadiotto. Feagles was the only Illini golfer to earn first team All-Big Ten and did so by unanimous votes.

Baumgarten and Tadiotto both earned second team.

Small and the team will head to the NCAA regional tournament May 13-15, where they will begin competing to try to win their first-ever NCAA title. In 2013, they were runner-ups behind Alabama but haven’t finished that high since. @brendyn_jones brendyn2@dailyillini.com

BY NITHIN REDDY STAFF WRITER

After a historic fouryear career competing for the Illinois men’s gymnastics team, Alex Diab will represent the U.S. in this summer’s World University games in Naples, Italy.

Diab is coming off another stellar season with the Illini, where he won his fourth straight Big Ten title on still rings and his second straight national title in the event. Additionally, Diab has set the school record for still rings titles with 31 and was also named a six-time NCAA All-American, a four-time All-Big Ten and a three-time Aca-

demic All-Big Ten. The World University games are held once every two years and consist of some of the best young athletes in the world. The U.S has only won a single gold medal since the games started back in 2011 and it has yet to win a still rings medal. Diab aims change that, as his own track record looks strong. With Diab’s career over at Illinois, he’s started to plan for his future in the sport and in life.

“I have one more year to finish school for my dental school prerequisites and I’m going to continue training and push for the senior

national team and try to compete internationally,” Diab said.

The World University games will help Diab as he pursues a professional career. Along with Diab, Penn State’s Stephen Nedoroscik will compete for team USA on the pommel horse. Nedoroscik has some history with Illinois, as he beat the Illini’s standout junior, Michael Paradise, on pommel horse three times during the season.

The games will start on July 2 with gymnastics events beginning on July 3 and going until July 14. nithinr2@dailyillini.com

WOMEN’S GOLF

Illini to compete in regional

BY CLAIRE O’BRIEN STAFF WRITER

Mond ay throug h Wednesday, the Illinois women’s golf team will head to East Lansing, Michigan for the NCAA women’s golf regional.

The Illini will play at Forest Akers West Golf Course, which is one of two golf courses run by Michigan State, the other being Forest Akers East. The two courses were redesigned in the 1990s, and both are named after a Michigan State alumnus.

The Illini last played in East Lansing in 2007.

At Michigan State, Illinois will see a competitive field of challengers. The Big Ten presence is sparse compared to other tournaments this season, with only three teams and one individual from the conference out of 18 teams and six individuals.

The Pac-12 conference is well represented at the tournament, with three teams making up three of the top four seeds. The No.1-seed Stanford finished fourth in the PAC-12 tournament, behind fellow No. 1-seed Southern California, No. 2-seed Arizona

and Arizona State, respectively. No. 4-seed UCLA finished in sixth at the PAC-12 tournament.

No. 3-seed Kent State is somewhat familiar to Illinois. Kent State has played in several tournaments with Illinois and finished second at Illinois’ tournament last fall. The Illini finished third at the tournament, but have competed against the Golden Flashes at Tennessee, UCF and Ohio State.

Despite being in the same conference as the No. 5-seed Michigan State, Illinois didn't play in the same

tournament as the Spartans until the spring. Like Kent State, Illinois competed against Michigan State at Central Florida in February. The Illini also played a similar spring tournament schedule to the Spartans, with both teams playing at College of Charleston, Clemson and Ohio State earlier this spring.

Even though Illinois hasn't played at Michigan State since before the iPad first came out, the competition hosts some familiar foes. @claire_obrien43 claireo3@dailyillini.com

Fleming kept the action going with a double and quickly scored after redshirt senior Carly Thomas hit her eighth home run of the season. Senior Stephanie Abello contributes the last run, hitting her first triple of the season to score sophomore Bella Loya.

Illinois needs to bring the same offensive strength into the weekend series, as the Boilermakers will be looking to attack the Illini and earn a spot back in the win column.

Purdue will come to Eichelberger Field on a six-game losing streak, most recently being swept

by Wisconsin and Northwestern. Both Illinois and Purdue have a 6-14 Big Ten record and are tied with Penn State for ninth in the conference standings.

The Illini will be looking to grab a couple last-chance wins this weekend while also celebrating their class of 2019 as nine seniors will play on Eichelberger Field for the final time.

of struggle against Big Ten competition.

Illinois was most recently swept at Ohio State last weekend, and got swept at home the weekend before by No. 22 Michigan. Between the Ohio State and Michigan series’ the Illini also dropped two games against No. 19 Northwestern in a double header.

While the Illini have dropped to a 28-22 record with recent losses, Tuesday’s rain-shortened game showed some positives for the Illini as they head into their weekend series.

The seven-run victory was led by three home runs and a shutout performance from senior pitcher Taylor Edwards, who allowed just two hits and struck out five batters.

Redshirt senior Annie Fleming got the ball rolling quickly with a solo homer in the first inning. The Illini extended their one-run lead in the fourth inning with a six-run showing.

Freshman Kailee Powell gave the Illini an early base runner after reaching on a fielding error. Sophomore @gabby_h11 Katie Wingerter doubled to ghajduk2@dailyillini.com

‘Apollo 11’ blasts off

BY NILLY KUMAR STAFF WRITER

buzz factor: The sheer size and beauty of outer space is one of the more accessible things for people to experience and understand in science. It would be hard for a mathematician to explain to someone outside their field what they find so brilliant about multivariable calculus, but an astronomer won’t encounter that problem, at least to the same extent.

Sometimes, people need the opportunity to remember how big the universe is and how much there is to see and touch outside of what is accessible.

Using only footage and audio from the days of the mission, “Apollo 11” tells the story of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins on the day they were sent to the moon with amazing clarity and focus, inspiring a true appreciation for every part of the complex operation that launched men to the moon

and brought them back.

“Apollo 11” doesn’t talk down to its audience. The only parts of the film not recorded during the days of the launch and landings are the titles and graphics needed to give context to the film and to visualize the descriptions of the technical aspects of the mission: for example, the trajectory of the shuttle as it revolves around the Earth after entering orbit to gain momentum or how each part of the shuttle detaches from the other as the mission enters its later stages.

None of this information is left out or explained pedantically. During the landing scenes of the film footage, the shuttle is often shown alongside a moving count of the altitude, fuel and speed of the shuttle, putting the audience almost directly into the seat of the astronauts.

No other film about space or about the Apollo 11 mission brings the audience closer to how it must have felt to be in that shuttle or down on Earth in Florida or Houston. The film’s visuals

are crispy, grainy and bright, with the quality that doesn’t seem possible to project in modern times. When the film shows footage of the crowds in Florida waiting to witness the launch, it feels like the audience is transported there, experiencing what life must have been like in the summer of 1969.

The small things, like the banter Aldrin, Collins and Armstrong share among themselves, the differences in their heart rate during the most nerve-wracking parts of their journey and the small issues like leaks in pipes carrying hydrogen peroxide that had to be fixed before the shuttle could takeoff, all come together to create nothing less than a full and rich story.

“Apollo 11” is only the latest in a series of documentaries that ditch all of the editorializing and commentary typically associated with this film medium. It tells a focused story using only the artifacts produced by history, and it’s nothing less than well-executed and brilliant. nskumar2@readbuzz.com

Immersion Festival 2019

 5 p.m.  Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, 202 S. Broadway Ave. Suite. 1, Urbana  Donations encouraged, all ages Immersion is a two­-day, multi­disciplinary experimental arts festival. The festival will incorporate two nights of main stage performances, daytime workshops on Saturday, a visual arts gallery, video art projection installations and (as the centerpiece) a 16.2 channel sound d ­ ome installation. The goals of the festival are to bring experimental art forms into an accessible format for the C-U community and to act as a catalyst, encouraging artists to pursue emerging methods, formats and mediums in their own work.

SATURDAY, MAY 4

The characters in Aaron Posner’s play “Stupid F---ing Bird” ride a wild merrygo-round of love, loss, misery and laughs in which nice-guy Dev suffers from unrequited love for Mash, who composes cleverly despairing songs on the ukulele, while Mash is desperately in love with Con, a passionate playwright who is deeply in love with Nina, his beautiful, vibrant muse, who becomes entranced

by Trigorin, a literary star, who happens to be dating Con’s mother, Emma, a successful actress. With a dead bird, a gun and a little help from its friends, this edgy, funny and compassionate reboot of Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull” is a hilarious and moving meditation on love, art, life and the world we live in. Kay Holley’s cast includes Gary Ambler, Eric Beckley, Jake Fava, Lindsey Gates-Markel, Joi Hoffsommer, William L. Kephart and Hannah Yonan.

Take time to celebrate after finals Sipyard 204 W. Main St.

BY BUZZ EDITORIAL STAFF

Finals time is a long road for most students, and finally finishing up the semester is cause for celebration and relaxation.

Take some time to get away from the chaos and stress of campustown and toast the beginning of summer with some of the fun food, drinks and entertainment offered by the C-U community.

To shake off the semester and jump into the summer mood after finals, take a trip to Sipyard, a beer garden that operates out of a shipping container in downtown Urbana. They offer drinks and special events, like the Mug Club, every night of the week, and live music from local artists.

It’s an excellent escape for students to wind down after weeks of nonstop studying.

Sipyard shares a space with a colorful graffiti gallery so visitors can enjoy their drinks alongside some vibrant aesthetics. Since it’s only open from April to November, students who aren’t in the area for the summer months should make the most of the opportunity to hang out there while they can.

The Blind Pig 120 N. Walnut St.

Located in the heart of downtown Champaign, The Blind Pig Brewery “Big Pig” space offers a refreshing change from the campustown bar scene. They offer a variety of draughts including stouts, IPAs and ciders all brewed in Champaign. Some are even aptly named for their local roots including the “U of IPA” and the “Curtis Orchard Apple Cider.”

Even for those who might not be interested in beer or those who might not be of age to enjoy it yet, the ambiance alone of The Blind Pig is worth the trip off campus. The expansive outdoor seating area provides visitors with a chance to enjoy the spring weather in a laid- back environment. It’s also a great spot to check in with friends after finals since guests can actually engage in audible conversation without having to shout over loud music and crowds of students.

Black Dog Smoke & Ale House

The Iron Post 120 S. Race St.

AKI AKHAURI THE DAILY ILLINI

The interior of Black Dog Smoke & Ale House in Urbana on Tuesday.

320 N. Chestnut St.

Black Dog Smoke & Ale House is located in downtown Champaign, and it’s the perfect place to satisfy any BBQ cravings you’ve accumulated over these past few months.

Why not blow off some

steam and go after finals?

Black Dog has a variety of meats, from Amish turkey to catfish and nine types of BBQ sauce to accompany your meal, varying from mild, medium, medium hot, hot or extra hot. They even have an Impossible Burger

for vegetarians and vegans to enjoy, which means this is a place for everyone. It’s a great option to go with a group of friends for special occasions.

Because of its location and proximity to the train tracks, it makes us feel like

from a Stephen King novel exploring a small town. A great option to order is the “Choose Two Combo Platter” with beef brisket and spicy pork sausage served with the Texas and Carolina Vinegar BBQ sauces.

After finals, enjoy a good meal and some live local entertainment at the Iron Post, a bar and grill in downtown Urbana. Entertainment options range from comedy events to jazz music so visitors can find something to their liking on any night of the week. Food is served on weekdays from 11 a.m. to midnight and on weekends from 5 p.m. to midnight, so it’ll be open and ready to welcome celebrants who have their last final of the semester in the morning. buzz@readbuzz.com

Finals week is almost here, but anyone who has experienced finals week before knows the stress and late-night study sessions begin during weeks before finals officially start.

Everybody’s study habits are different, but one common feature of many people’s academic routines involves listening to music. Some people prefer listening to classical music or instrumentals while studying, while others may focus better with louder, more upbeat music.

This study playlist is for those in the middle who prefer studying with music with vocals but still want the soft, mellow sound that a lot of instrumentals offer.

Songs on this playlist range from soft indie tunes, including “Another One” by Mac DeMarco, to livelier yet still mellow songs, such as “New Light”

by John Mayer. Everyone garibay5@readbuzz.com
