Smoking policy ignites controversy Senators oppose proposed punishable student code changes related to smoking ban

YOUR VOICE

How should the University enforce the smoking ban?

BY MEGAN JONES STAFF WRITER

As the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs prepares to update the University student code, Illinois student senators Rachel Heller, junior in LAS, and Kevin Seymour, graduate student, submitted a resolution, which opposes any changes to the student code that would allow the University to reprimand students for smoking. “We would support the smoking ban, but we do not support reprimand for any student,” Heller said. “I really don’t like it when I’m walking out of a dorm or walking out of a class, and I have to walk through a cloud of smoke, but I don’t think students should have a punishment of possible expulsion from the University for a fundamental right that they have.” Seymour said he and Heller realize that they are fighting a losing battle in trying to stop all changes to the student code, and it likely won’t be possible to exclude the punishment clause. However, Renee Romano, vice chancellor of Student Affairs, said the University hopes to employ an educational and community approach rather than a disciplinary one. “Our approach really isn’t punitive; however, if a person just refused to comply and just keep doing the same thing over and over, we would pursue a disciplinary situation based off the fact that there’s a University policy that they refuse to adhere to,” Romano said. Punishment would depend on a variety of situations, such as if a student is already on conduct probation. Romano details

“It goes to our core academic mission, teaching and research, it goes to pay salaries and run our physical operations.

the progression as starting with a conversation, possibly followed by a letter of warning and then other courses of action increasing in severity. Action taken by the University will vary person-to-person based on their disciplinary history, she added. “(The resolution) seems to imply that the student senate doesn’t want there to be any consequences for students who refuse to adhere to a University policy, so I think that it is problematic,” Romano said. “Students must comply to University policy just like staff and faculty. That’s kind of a basic condition of going to school here.” Seymour said many faculty are being misled by the notion of majority student support for the ban in regards to the referendum held during the fall 2011 semester. Many believe that students voted by a 70-30 percent margin to ban smoking on campus, when in reality, they voted to support campus dialogue and action by the administration to explore making the University smoke-free. The student code already states that students must adhere to all University policies, in which the smoking ban is included. “I’m a little frustrated

because I know what students want to know is: Can I be dismissed for smoking?” Romano said. “I think that likelihood would be very unlikely. Would someone be fired for doing that? Highly unlikely. That’s not the purpose of the smoking ban.” Both Heller and Seymour are members of the Conference on Conduct Governance, which handles all changes to the student code. The committee is currently reviewing the changes, and Romano hopes the code will be amended within the next few weeks. “We have been asked by others on the conference to come up with ‘compromise language’ which administrators and students could agree to, but that may prove to be very difficult to do,” Seymour said in an e-mail. Other enforcement procedures include an online reporting system, which can be found on the smoke-free campus website, and student ambassadors, who will be trained to remind anyone smoking on campus of the policy, said Michele Guerra, director of the UI Wellness Center. Notices for recruitment have been sent out, interviews will begin this week, and Guerra hopes to have ambassadors out by mid-February.

“I’d prefer if it wasn’t super enforced. I understand keeping safety for the community in mind, but it’s a personal right. The fact that they banned e-cigs too is a bit ridiculous.”

Construction to continue in Illini Union

“Maybe a ticket or something, but only for, like, $1. Even that kind of sucks though.”

“Honestly, they should put up more non-smoking signs. If you see it all the time as a constant reminder, it will eventually start to change the mindset on campus.”

Study: Wage law has positive impact BY JULIANNE MICOLETA STAFF WRITER

Pressure from increasing state budget deficits, as well as debt from underfunded pensions, have caused critics to call for the repeal of Illinois’ prevailing wage law for government construction projects. However, according to new research co-authored by a University labor expert, Illinois’ prevailing wage law creates many positive economic and social impacts, and repealing it

would not result in any considerable savings for taxpayers or the state. “We have a strong prevailing wage law in Illinois,” said Robert Bruno, professor of labor and employment relations. “It’s better than most states in that it assures public projects are done efficiently and on time with the best results possible.” The policy mandates that contractors and subcontractors are required to pay all laborers who perform work on public projects

to match the prevailing wage, the weighted average wage of a county, and benefits. The study is co-authored by Bruno; Alison Quesada, a labor education specialist; Frank Manzo IV, policy director of the Illinois Economic Policy Institute; and Dale Belman, professor of labor and industrial relations at Michigan State University, and it serves as the first study of the social and economic impacts of the statewide prevailing wage law.

Bruno said critics of the law claim that the prevailing wage is inflammatory, and it makes funding public projects more expensive by compensating labor at rates higher than market wages. However, repeal of the law would weaken the overall economy, Quesada said, because while it would lead to more jobs in construction, it would result in job losses throughout the

electrical systems in the north building, the life safety alarm throughout the entire Union and the heating and cooling systems in the north food court, Guth said. Additional upgrades are planned for the elevators and restrooms. The upgrade on the two unisex bathrooms on the first floor at the northeast side is scheduled to begin in midMay and should be completed by August, Guth said. Other en h a ncements include a $1.3 million elevator project, which will begin in July and last until November. The construction will be on the main service elevator, and restrictions will be put in place on the other two elevators so customers have priority, Guth said.

Construction will continue in an effort to upgrade and modernize the 73-year-old north side of the Illini Union. A recently completed project and two upcoming projects focus on upgrading multiple parts of the building, some of which were as old as the building, said David Guth, assistant director of facilities, in an email. The second phase of the $10 million infrastructure upgrade was completed in November in the original 1941 building, Guth said. The second phase of the project upgraded the heating and cooling systems in the building. The first phase of the project was completed in 2012 a nd upgraded the

Libraries receive energy awards BY ZILA RENFRO STAFF WRITER

The Energy Conservation Incentive Program award ceremony at the Main Library kicked off the fi rst of seven ceremonies that will celebrate the eight different buildings that are being awarded for their sustainability efforts. Facilities and Services created the program to measure the energy usage of the buildings across campus over a fiscal year and compare them to the previous year. The eight buildings that save the most energy receive a plaque and a fi nancial reward to be used for building renovations. For the 2013 fiscal year, the Main Library won third place in the Energy Advancement category. Buildings in this category initially received central funding from conservation projects to help save energy. With this funding, the Main Library managed a 43 percent energy reduction, which amounts to about $47,000 in energy savings, said Allan Stratman, executive director of Facilities and Services. The Undergraduate Library won fi rst place in the Occupant Action category. The buildings in this category were not centrally funded, but relied only on the occupants of the building to save as much energy as possible. This includes turning off lights and computers when not in use and getting rid of unnecessary appliances, said Morgan Johnston, sustainability coordinator for Facilities and Services. The Undergraduate Library reduced energy by 35 percent.

BOARD Board approves pension assessment resolution Trustees approved a resolution requesting that University President Robert Easter and other administrators begin preparing to create a plan to compensate for the impact of recent changes to state pension legislation. Under the new bill, a cap of $109,971 will be put on the amount of salary on which a pension benefit is based for all faculty; the University currently has this cap in place for new hires, but beginning June 1, it will apply to all employees. Easter and other administrators will assess the impact of the pension legislation and create a supplementary pension plan that would allow the University

John Wilkin, dean of libraries, accepted the two plaques for the Main Library and Undergraduate Library at the ceremony. He attributed the libraries’ energy savings to the changing habits of faculty and staff. “The money will help us with the doors,” Wilkin said. The old doors that let in draft have been a source of energy loss, he said. The Main Library has already started replacing old windows with double-pane, energy effi cient versions. Wilkin said that plans for the future also include changing old lights to energy-efficient LED lights and replacing parts of the roof with HVAC systems. Putting their message of sustainability into practice, the award facilitators had all attendees of the ceremony sign a pledge upon entrance to become more sustainable in some fashion. Participants wrote statements regarding energy saving actions they can take, such as riding bikes or buses more often, shutting down computers or recycling more. The pledges are geared toward becoming more sustainable, but especially encouraging others to become more sustainable, Johnston said. “The University and F-and-S has embarked on some different programs to drive energy conservation,” said Stratman. These have included a process called retrocommissioning, where facilities’ experts inspect buildings for ways to improve energy conservation. “It’s been a very successful program for us,” Stratman said.

The award went to the Undergraduate and Main libraries for their sustainability efforts. “Across all the facilities that have gone through retrocommissioning, we average about 27 percent energy savings after we’ve gone through a building. That equates to about $17 million.” Facilities and Services has also set goals to do energy audits and major upgrades on 18 different buildings in the next five years. But Stratman said that the Energy Conservation Incentive

Program is transformational because it involves not just Facilities and Services, but the campus at large. “The people who did all the effort get the rewards of that effort invested back into their facility,” Stratman said. “So it’s a win-win.”

WAGE state, a decrease in the GDP and millions of dollars in lost tax revenue. “We found that any jobs linked to a repeal of the law would be significantly offset by job losses experienced throughout the rest of the economy due to the reduction in wages,” Quesada said. The indirect effects of appealing the prevailing wage law would result in about 3,300 net jobs lost, in a total GDP contraction of more than $1 billion annually for Illinois, more than $44 million in lost state and local taxes and roughly $116 million in lost federal tax revenue, according to the study. “The prevailing wage law that we have now is one of the safeguards that protects our state economy and allows it to maintain a high-wage economy,” Bruno said. The research also fi nds that repeal of the law would result in negative social impacts that include increases in construction worker fatalities and declines in construction worker benefits and less opportunities for apprenticeship training in the construction industry. “What we found is that the prevailing wage law that we have literally saves lives,” Bruno said. “Our research estimates that an additional seven construction workers would lose their lives on an annual basis and extrapolated over the span of a decade, approximately 70 additional workers would suffer from fatal work-related injuries.” To compare, states with a prevailing wage law maintained an average fatal work-related

injury rate of 10.82 deaths per 100,000 full-time construction workers from 2008 to 2010; during the same time frame, states without a prevailing wage law had an average fatal work-related injury rate of 12.12 deaths per 100,000 workers, according to the study. “This shows us that states with a prevailing wage law are better off because they tend to suffer fewer work-related injuries than states without any regulations,” Bruno said. Another negative effect of repealing the law would result in a decline of training opportunities in the construction industry. “The prevailing wage law right now ensures that we’re hiring skilled workers and that we’re not bringing in cheap labor,” Bruno said. “It’s a good use of taxpayer dollars because it supports construction apprenticeship programs, which creates an availability of sufficiently skilled workers.” At the University, mail carriers work under a prevailing wage law under a collective bargaining agreement struck up by the Service Employees International Union, Local 73, and the University, said SEIU spokesman Ricky Baldwin. “The mail carriers at the University prefer the prevailing wage rate,” Baldwin said. “They prefer ... negotiating with free standing wage rate. It’s a security that they’ve had for many years, and it’s the kind of civility that the wage rate isn’t just whatever we work out, and it’s based on something outside of the University. Collectively, they like that, and it’s a good thing.”

After the review, Chancellor Phyllis Wise chose to extend the contract for three additional years, with the option for a two-year extension, pending future performance reviews. Under Thomas’ direction, student-athletes had a 90 percent graduation rate in 2013, which tied for the highest graduation rate in University history. He also played a role in helping the University reach a $60 million agreement with State Farm, which is helping to fund a $160 million renovation of the State Farm Center.

“Obviously, with the frigid temperatures that we’re having, we are not looking at what would be normal during this time, so it’s a little hard to tell what’s going on,” Guerra said. “But I think overall, people are serious about wanting to comply with the policy.” Heller recommended a fi ning system be enforced instead, but she is not sure if that would be possible. The resolution was sent to the student senate’s Committee on Campus Affairs, and Heller hopes the senate will vote on it at its Wednesday meeting.

Addressing sexual assault still community, University responsibility

Quick Commentary delivers bits of relevant and important issues on campus or elsewhere. We write it, rate it and stamp it. When something happens that we are not pleased with: DI Denied. When something happens that we like: Alma Approved.

resident Barack Obama on Wednesday had one message to the estimated one in five women who are rape or sexual assault survivors and the 12 percent who have yet to report the violence: “I’ve got your back.” Taking a stand against an often covert issue, President Obama launched a federal task force that is responsible for delivering recommendations to colleges, including suggestions for prevention and response as well as increased oversight of legal obligations already in place. He also called on school officials to extend their obligations to fighting against sexual assault and protecting victims of sexual assault. And that’s exactly where the fight needs to start: here and on other campuses across the nation, where sexual assault is most prevalent. It’s a grassroots movement, gaining recognition by the students across the country who have been brave enough to tell their stories, and now the government is listening. A few days after Obama’s announcement, an ESPN Outside the Lines story suggested University of Missouri administrators and athletic officials did not properly investigate allegations that, in 2010, an unidentified number of football players raped then-swimmer Sasha Menu Courey, who later committed suicide. A number of school officials reportedly heard about the incident but didn’t alert police or begin their own investigation. And although each situation in which a sexual assault or rape occurs, including Courey’s, is tragic, the circumstances under which they occur are not necessarily unique. According to a White House Council on Women and Girls report, around 22 million women and girls in the United States are sexual assault survivors. On campus, women can be more at risk — with the combination of factors such as alcohol, the 18-22 age cohort and students learning to live independently playing major roles. And often the alleged rapists are repeat offenders, according to the report. Courey’s case was the latest high-profile example of a sexual assault case gone unrecognized, unacknowledged. And it’s another sobering reminder that these things do happen, especially where many students call home — college campuses. But many more rape or sexual assault survivors are invisible, as those incidents often go unreported, or reported without a conviction. According to the White House report, on average, only 12 percent of the cases — which include completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol and drug facilitated completed penetration — are actually reported. At the University of Illinois, according to last year’s annual security report, there were 10 cases reported of sex offenses on campus in 2012, eight of which were reported in residence facilities. Two more cases were reported off-campus. That’s a small, and fairly inaccurate, snapshot of what is happening in apartments, dorms, bars and almost any other place on and off campus. On a campus of 40,000 students, this statistic is a reminder of all the cases that go unreported — those who are victims of sexual assault but not represented in the numbers. So what can Washington do? It can crack down on schools that are failing to report such incidents, and even yank funding. It can strengthen oversight by making college administrators even more aware of the sexual assaults that occur right under their noses. But in the meantime, the University community needs to take the situation into its own hands. We can’t rely on the broadness of the federal government to fix an issue that is happening specifically, although not only, on college campuses. We can’t expect the government’s initiative to succeed if colleges aren’t assisting and incentivizing victims of sexual assault in reporting their incidents in the first place. Because waiting is something we just can’t afford.

Here’s a recap of the week’s most creative headlines: “Beyonce’s New Album Embarrasses Michelle Williams” No, Destiny’s Child embarrassed Michelle Williams. “That Time Joe Pesci Stuck His Fingers Up Jonah Hill’s Butt” Wouldn’t you rather have a colonoscopy from a friend? “Justin Bieber’s Alleged Drag Race Caught On Tape” It was nothing compared to RuPaul’s Drag Race. Shantay away, Biebs.

According to administrators, a new Starbucks is opening in the Illini Union Bookstore to help attract prospective students for the 2014-15 academic year. Administrators cited “not enough overpriced coffee establishments” on campus as their key motivator for opening the new Starbucks. In the future, they hope that a Starbucks on every corner will help attract students from the Chicago suburbs, one of the most underrepresented populations at the University.

Last weekend, Saturday Night Live gave America the best thing since James Franco and Seth Rogen’s “Bound 3.” Host Jonah Hill played the Rose to Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack. The two recreated the infamous scene from the bow of the boat in the movie “Titanic,” equipped with Leo’s firm, romantic, comforting grip around Hill, and Jonah shouting, “I’m flying Jack!” It was adorable and wonderful and perfect.

Catcalls not synonymous with flattery SEHAR SIDDIQUI Opinions columnist

recent BuzzFeed post brought to my attention the idea that you would never expect to see a woman tell a random man on the street to put his head up and smile because he’s a “handsome gentleman,” but you do see men randomly telling “pretty ladies” on the street to “stop looking so sad and smile?” Since when did it become OK and almost natural for men to tell women what to do, even if it’s as petty as telling a woman to smile? And at what point in our fight for equal rights did we let these pervasive and other crass ways of harassing women fly under the radar? Some might wonder what the big deal is and view receiving a catcall as a compliment. But the reality is that a catcall is far from flattering. Getting hollered at on the street is a lot more common than most people think. It doesn’t matter what your appearance is; if you are a woman, you have probably gotten hit on at least once in your life while walk-

ing around minding your own business. This is an issue because women should feel comfortable going about daily tasks without having to worry about being sexualized. A woman shouldn’t have to alter how she dresses, worry about what time of day she goes out or avoid certain locations because she’s trying to prevent unwanted reactions from or interactions with men. According to the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence survey, more than 33.7 percent of women experienced some type of non-contact unwanted sexual experience in their lifetime. This percentage equates to around 40 million women, all who have experienced undesirable non-contact sexual harassment. The types of unwarranted sexual attention women receive aren’t just limited to horn honking or wolf whistles. A report on street harassment in Boston shows that out of 500 people surveyed, 95 percent had experienced physical touch without permission, 96 percent received verbal attacks, and 93 percent experienced unwanted groping. Being harassed on the street is more pervasive than most of us would have thought. This statistic reflects an attitude that is

tolerant of this kind of behavior toward women and predicts that a woman will most likely be harassed if she is on the street. It’s easier to get away with catcalling on the street when nothing is threatening them — such as being with another man or a bystander. A simple whistle or honk of the horn can lead to so much worse. An unresponsive woman might be pursued for not saying “thank you” or for just not responding in a way her harassers were hoping she would. Of the 500 people surveyed, 93 percent were solicited for sex. In Florida, a 14-year-old girl was kidnapped and abused for refusing a man sex in exchange for $200. This girl was attacked simply because she did not comply with what a man wanted from her. He expected something of her that she gave no indication she was interested in. The implications of these forms of street abuse aren’t just embarrassment or shame for the recipient, but a deeper, more disturbing look into how some men feel they can treat women out in the open. Men who feel completely justified telling random women to lighten up and smile are part of a movement of men who feel they have a right to women.

When these catcalls are made, it seems like these particular men think they are entitled to a woman. They might think they have authority over her body and her desires. And they could believe they know what she wants and how she should be behaving purely because of his gender versus her own. A catcall is far from flattering. It is a declaration of a man’s feeling of ownership over a woman. It is a step right before other forms of abuse. And it is a mockery of a female’s independence. An obvious imbalance of power exists between men and women, and the fact that it’s normal for men to shout sexual profanities at women and never the other way around shows how we have allowed these kinds of men to believe they have some right over women that women couldn’t possibly have over men. There is a line between a sincere compliment and an objectifying catcall that should never be blurred. Feeling flattered by getting “hollered” at just encourages sexualizing women and fuels the fire.

Political affiliations bury our humanity, compassion MATT PASQUINI Opinions columnist

t’s not very often you get a chance to see the human side of politicians. Their personas get clouded by media appearances and, eventually, the only part of their identity that hasn’t been stripped of them is their political leaning. Instead of looking at politicians as human beings, we look at them solely as political beings. Stripping people of their identities as humans opens the doors to harsh scrutiny and fierce ridicule, which allows us to think and talk about our political leaders in ways we would never even think of talking about our families, friends, acquaintances and even strangers. Recent examples can comically be seen in a series of YouTube videos uploaded by NowThis News called Mean Tweets DC where politicians read mean tweets about themselves. During the summer of 2012, I spent my time interning on the campaign of my former state senator, Carole Pankau, R-23. All I was looking for was an opportu-

nity to get my feet wet and get a sense of the world of politics. With that being said, I was still nervous to work with Republicans, especially given my more liberal tendencies. I assumed I would spend my days listening to people bash on the candidates I was more likely to support and was worried I’d be marginalized due to my reluctance to share my personal political views. Well lo and behold, I had some pretty neat opportunities that allowed me to see the more personal side of the Senator and her staff. Some of these opportunities included working the call center, attending photo shoots for campaign brochures and going doorto-door with the Senator herself. I soon realized that my coworkers didn’t care as much about my political leanings as they did my commitment and willingness to do a good job. Donna Rozycki was the Senator’s legislative aide at the time and getting to know her was one of the greatest honors I’ve ever had. She’s the one who made my time interning worthwhile. She made me laugh with her fiery and snappy personality, but her heart of gold balanced everything out. I attribute the conver-

sations I had with her to being what really helped kick-start my pursuit for a career in politics. Rozycki was one of the first people who told me it doesn’t matter which party I affiliate with, so long as I’m committed to my cause and believe in it. I also had the opportunity to meet one character that most people in the political realm are familiar with — former Republican congressman, Joe Walsh. When I was introduced to him, I was greeted with overwhelming excitement and enthusiasm. He asked me about my summer plans and school, and when I would answer his questions he would make me feel like I was the only one in the room. His boisterous and passionate personality was far from the arrogant and fiery interviews we’ve seen go viral on YouTube, and at that moment, I realized that while, yes, he was one of the darlings of the Tea Party, he’s a human. For me to dislike him and speak ill of him solely due to his political beliefs runs harshly against the grain of the very thing I believe in — acceptance. Most people tend to forget that one’s political identity is just one of their many social identities, along with gender, sexual orienta-

tion, nationality, race, socioeconomic class, etc. Politics is just a dirty game. The mudslinging and low blows are an unfortunate byproduct of two passionate individuals fighting for power, and it seems like a bogus excuse, but until someone comes along and changes the game, that’s just how it is. All it takes is someone to take the initiative to stay above the fray and say, I don’t agree with them politically, but I respect them as a person. It’s easy to let a little part of who someone is get in the way of the whole individual, especially in politics. But before anyone decides to go and make personal attacks on the character of a public figure, I highly urge them to think how they would feel if someone made those same attacks on them solely because of their political beliefs. We’re dealing with human beings here, and to assume that they take such harsh and blatant criticism with a grain of salt is silly. They have feelings, just like you and me.

THEATRE respective characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatable human flaws, but sometimes each character can either become too emotionally predictable or confusingly exaggerated. By the end, it is difficult to feel closure as Brandon makes abhorrent decisions that have little to no resolution. I wanted to see more growth from Brandon and his mother, but instead at times saw more implosion as the situation spirals way more out of control than it should have.

The problem with some of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Boys and Trueâ&#x20AC;? is that I struggled to empathize with the characters. Perhaps students with a firsthand relationship to the coincidentally (or not so coincidentally) apropos 2006 Duke lacrosse scandal can empathize with Brandon and his mother, but I had to be creative in my approach to the play.

University to open 1st of 3 Starbucks locations in March BY ALISON MARCOTTE FEATURES EDITOR

A Starbucks store is set to open at the Illini Union Bookstore in late March. This is the first of three University-operated Starbucks franchises that will open over a three-year period. Another Starbucks store will open in the Illini Union, said Scott McCartney, senior associate director for retail operations at the Illini Union. The location of the third Starbucks store is yet to be determined, but McCartney said the Illini Union hopes to have a decision within the next couple of months. The three new locations will be University-owned, while the current Green Street location is owned by the Starbucks corporation. Construction on the IUB-based Starbucks store began in December 2013. The Starbucks store will be located on the southeast corner of the bookstore, and it will include a seating area. The coffee shop will be open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, said Rebecca Seymour, assistant director for food and beverage operations at the Illini Union. When IUB is closed, Starbucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; walk-up service counter in the bookstoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vestibule will be accessible to students. The Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in buying Starbucks franchises began

after receiving studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responses from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;College Union/Student Centerâ&#x20AC;? Education Benchmarking Inc. survey in November 2012. The Division of Management Information sent out the online EBI survey to 3,500 students, and its contents revolved around various food and beverage operations. The students were asked which cuisines they preferred and what specific food vendors they visited for each of the cuisines. The Division of Management Information received approximately 700 responses, and Starbucks was No. 1 in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coffee/Drink shops that you would most likely frequent at the Illini Unionâ&#x20AC;? category, with Jamba Juice following as second. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Starbucks was the No. 1 preference by significant margins,â&#x20AC;? McCartney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we took that information and decided we should try to give students more options on campus.â&#x20AC;? McCartney said they use the information from the surveys to help them in selecting which food vendors to offer on campus. For instance, Einstein Bros Bagels was No. 1 in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deli/Bakery/Breakfast restaurants that you would most likely frequent at the Illini Unionâ&#x20AC;? category, he said. According to the Illinois Pub-

lic Higher Education Procurement Bulletin, the University bought the three Starbucks franchise licenses at $30,000 in November 2012. Once the Illini Union decided to to construct the Starbucks stores, they met with the Illini Union Board and discussed different locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really came down to starting at the bookstore, mainly because that bus stop there is the largest bus stop in Champaign-Urbana,â&#x20AC;? McCartney said. Emily Brennan, freshman in Education, and Lara Hanus, freshman in ACES, both said they are excited that another Starbucks store is coming to campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good location because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right off the Quad,â&#x20AC;? Hanus said. Brennan agreed and said it is a convenient place to go to get coffee before or after classes. The Illini Union Bookstore is in the process of hiring student employees for the IUB-based Starbucks store. It plans to hire around 60 student employees, Seymour said. Students can apply for positions, including barista and shift supervisor, at union.illinois.edu/ employment.

Krannert’s Fresh Look

New spring exhibitions debut at the Krannert Art Museum

Auto-Graphics: Recent Drawings by Victor Ekpuk

The exhibit “Auto-Graphics: Recent Drawings by Victor Ekpuk” showcases selections from several of Nigerian-born artist Victor Ekpuk’s recent bodies of work. Ekpuk, inspired by his knowledge of Nsibidi, a secret form of communications among southeastern Nigerian male societies, has developed his own personal style of fluid letterforms, evident in these newer works of art. When viewed from a far range, the immense s contained in Ekpuk’s work hide within the bold lines used frequently in his digital prints and large-scale drawings. But upon closer inspection, the substantial volumes of intricate details are brought front and center. “Auto-Graphics: Recent Drawings” will be open through July 27.

Not Ready to Make Nice: Guerrilla Girls in the Artworld and Beyond

Since the mid ‘80s, the highly influential group of anonymous female artists known as the Guerrilla Girls have exposed the inequities and disparities in not only the art world, but in politics and popular culture using facts and shocking yet humorous visuals. In the exhibit “Not Ready to Make Nice: Guerrilla Girls in the Artworld and Beyond,” the continuous work of this extremely historically prominent and persuasive group is displayed. An assortment of the group’s most famous and recent work, including large-scale banners, slideshows of behind-the-scene photos and books published by the group, reveal how the Guerrilla Girls have achieved such an expansive and global reach. “Not Ready to Make Nice: Guerilla Girls” will remain open through April 6.

Art as Provocation

“Art as Provocation,” an accompaniment to the exhibition, “Not Ready to Make Nice: Guerrilla Girls in the Artworld and Beyond,” features selections from a diverse group of over 20 contemporary artists who, like the famous feminist activist group, Guerrilla Girls, utilize their artwork to expose the varying inequities and gross inequalities within the art world. Their work ranges from light boxes to lithographs to large-scale paintings, all created to address disparities in the world, make bold statements about the ongoing discrimination of women in art and underscore the crucial importance of changing these realities. “Art as Provocation” will be open through May 4.

‘Good Boys and True’ digs deep but exaggerates, lacks empathy BY MATT RUBY STAFF WRITER

The Station Theatre in Urbana has a reputation for selecting performances that challenge the comfort and emotions of its actors and audience. “Good Boys and True,” an avant-garde, socially critical work by emerging playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, does just that. Premiering in 2008 at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, Aguirre-Sacasa’s work dares the audience to consider the perhaps unforeseen implications that a stereotypical

privileged lifestyle has on those who experience nothing less as they grow up. The play tracks the events that follow a sex tape scandal at an allboys prep school in Washington, D.C., during the late ‘80s, highlighting the emotional turmoil for those involved. With unexpected twists and turns, the script keeps the audience entertained and in thought the entire time while the cast gives a compelling, emotional performance. But in what appears to be an attempt by Aguirre-Sacasa to keep the audience guessing,

there were times when I could not help but think the script aimed to accomplish too much, sacrificing character depth and dimensionality for raw, emotional intensity. Brandon Hardy (played by Maxwell Tomaszewski), the boy accused of participating in the sex tape, is often inextricably confused, misguided and immature while his mother, Elizabeth Hardy (played by Chris Taber), is almost always a remorseful parent yet persistent advocate for a privileged lifestyle. Tomaszewski’s and Taber’s

performances were undoubtedly impactful, though. Both spoke to how their roles challenged them unlike anything they have done in the past. “It was hard not to judge him (Brandon) while doing and relating to the role,” Tomaszewski said, adding that it was “interesting to play a morally ambiguous character.” “This mom goes on a journey that I have not experienced before,” Taber said. “She learns a lot about facing skeletons in the closet. She thinks she’s done it all

right, but it turns out she hasn’t.” The play’s blocking and set is interesting and effective in how it utilizes three side-by-side sets throughout the performance. Brassieres hang from the set pieces and seem to adorn each scene as a subtle reminder of the pervasive, powerful force that carnal lust plays in the lives of those who grow up thinking their social privilege inherently makes them invincible to moral reasoning and implication. “The production looks at how we raise our sons to treat our

daughters,” said director Thom Schnarre. “It looks at the attitudes we give our boys about how they view girls they’re with.” In addition to obvious discussions of class and social hierarchy during the material culture of the 1980s, Aguirre-Sacasa’s work attempts to intertwine themes of homosexuality, friendship and taking advantage of others, especially young women. The cast effectively triggers an emotional response by playing off their

Illini drop 6th straight in 56-46 loss to Hoosiers BY SHANNON RYAN

Illini only have selves to blame for Sunday’s loss

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Rayvonte Rice bounced back from a scoreless game to put up 20 points. Joseph Bertrand sunk from a 19-point game to score only two points. Such is life for Illinois basketball these days. When one player clicks, another collapses. “We’re not good enough to not have everybody hitting on all cylinders,” Illinois coach John Groce said. “I’ve known that from the jump. We have to get everyone in sync.” With a 56-46 loss at Indiana on Sunday, the Illini dropped their sixth straight game for the longest drought since the end of the Bruce Weber era in 2012 and the longest losing streak in Groce’s sixth season as a head coach. Rice shot 7 of 11 from the floor, hitting 4 of 7 3-pointers, after recording his first scoreless game Thursday at Ohio State. But as the only player in double figures, he didn’t get enough help to pull out a victory. Bertrand hit just 1 of 11 from the field. Point guard Tracy Abrams scored two points in only 13 minutes, leaving the game twice with back spasms. In his absence, freshman reserve Jaylon Tate scored six points, tying his second-most productive outing of the season, to go with five assists. He was the only Illini player who recorded an assist. “Jaylon was ready to go,” Groce said. “He took ‘the next man up’ to another level.” Through a string of losses dating to Jan. 8 at Wisconsin, the Illini (13-8, 2-6) have shot at least 40 percent from the field only once. Their point total against Indiana was their second lowest in the span behind their total from a 49-43 loss to Northwestern. It looked especially low scoring compared with their 83-80 overtime victory against the Hoosiers in Champaign on New Year’s Eve. “I would say the common denominator is probably offense,” Groce said. “We have to find a way to score. We have to find a way to make more shots. As coaches we have to look at the quality of shot.” Indiana point guard Yogi Ferrell scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half. He contribut-

llinois’ loss at the hands of Indiana on Sunday had a different feel to it. The loss was nothing new, as it marked the Illini’s sixth defeat in a row, but something was more ominous about this one. After falling 56-46 to the Hoosiers, I just don’t know what it will take for Illinois to end this skid. Illinois lost by just seven points to a No. 17 ranked Ohio State squad Thursday, despite Rayvonte Rice finishing with zero points. The Illini lost by double-digits Sunday to Indiana, who lost consecutive games entering the contest. Rice even had a complete 180 turnaround from his performance against Ohio State. The Drake transfer scored 12 of Illinois’ first 16 points on 4-for-4 shooting from the field. He even drained his first three 3-point attempts. His shot was falling, his legs looked fresh, the confidence was back, but Illinois still trailed 19-16 at that point. After a game where Rice took most of the blame, no one else on Illinois stepped up against Indiana. Rice’s 12 points equaled half of Illinois’ total in the first 20 minutes of the game. Illinois shot 32.1 percent in the first half, despite Rice and Jaylon Tate combining to go 7-for-10 from the field. Indiana’s two best players, Yogi Ferrell and Noah Vonleh, were a combined 1-for-4 from the field in the first half. Illinois still trailed 26-24 at halftime. Even when things are going right, the Illini can’t capitalize. Illinois predictably got outplayed in an ugly second half, being outscored 30-22 with Rice’s 20 points going for naught. Something has changed with this team. Illinois scored 39 points in the first half alone

against Indiana at State Farm Center on New Year’s Eve, but the Illini didn’t crack that mark on Sunday until 8:23 left in the game. The players are the same, but the shots just aren’t falling. With Tracy Abrams struggling with back spasms, Illinois head coach John Groce tried new things against the Hoosiers to help his team get out of this slump. With Tate in for most of the game, he instilled a more pick-and-roll based offense. Tate put up a respectable six points and five assists — the only Illini assists on the day — but even his playmaking couldn’t jumpstart the putrid Illini offense. Illinois also employed a 2-3 zone on defense in stints during the second half that was quite effective, but the offense couldn’t mount a comeback. There’s something to be said about the way Illinois has fought during this losing streak. Illinois easily could’ve faltered after trailing 42-32 midway through the second half, but the Illini would cut the deficit to three. Illinois just couldn’t keep up the momentum. Illinois will have to change something from within. There’s no savior that’s going to step up to change this team, Groce can only use the players available to him. Rice has been better than most people expected in his first season in Champaign, but he’s not good enough to win on his own. Abrams, Bertrand and Nnanna Egwu can’t combine to shoot 6-for-23, not when they’re supposed to be the veterans of this inexperienced team. There aren’t many excuses left in the book for Illinois. Illinois didn’t face an upper-tier Big Ten team on Sunday, and they didn’t get screwed over by the officials. Illinois only has itself to blame.

Illini looking for 1st home Big Ten victory against No. 22 Boilermakers BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

After a 12-day road trip, it’s finally home, sweet home for the Illinois women’s basketball team. The Illini (9-10, 2-4 Big Ten) started conference play losing three consecutive home games but bounced back during their longest road stretch of the year, going 2-1, beating Northwestern and Michigan State but losing to Michigan. Illinois will attempt to mend its home struggles against a hot No. 22 Purdue (14-5, 4-3 Big Ten) squad that

has won four of its past five. The Boilermakers heavily rely on their two senior guards, Courtney Moses and KK Houser. The duo averages a combined 30.5 points per game and has hit 93 of the team’s 136 3-pointers made on the year. Moses has been near unstoppable beyond the arc, as she is shooting 47.7 percent, good for second in the conference. Houser complements Moses’ strong offensive game with pesky defense, averaging two steals a game which ranks fourth in the Big Ten.

Sophomore guard Sarah Hartwell said the key to winning against Purdue was stopping its guard tandem. Junior guard Ivory Crawford compared the Boilermakers to the Illini’s previous opponent, Michigan State. “We’re going to get ready just like we did for Michigan State,” Hartwell said. “Their guards are really fast and their forwards are really slow, pretty much like Michigan State.” Crawford also said Illinois’ win on Thursday “changed the whole mindset of everyone” in

the locker room. The rivalry’s history doesn’t favor Illinois. The Boilermakers have dominated the Illini the entire series, holding a 50-17 all-time record against the Illini. Last season, Purdue swept Illinois by a difference of 13 points. The Illini have not beaten the Boilermakers since Feb. 21, 2010. “One of the biggest things we have to do is defense,” freshman forward Jacqui Grant said. “We’ve been working on

on every event,” See said. “So I think I have a lot of room for improvement, and I think I can set my standards even higher. So although it may seem I’ve been consistent, I think that I can achieve even better scores.” Fellow senior Sarah Fiedler earned a 9.825 on the uneven bars, enough for a three-way tie for fi rst and her fi rst title of the season. Despite team diffi -

culties on beam, junior Sunny Kato posted a 9.875 for the fi rstplace tie. Although there was individual success to take from the loss, the main focus is with the team’s success. “We need to fi nish the meet regardless of what our score is, and we need to keep our minds tight throughout the whole meet and just not let up, because regardless of if we’re winning,

or losing or whatever, it doesn’t matter,” See said. “As long as we fi nish strong, then we’re going to feel better about our performance in general. So I think we just need to take from it that we need to keep our heads in the game throughout the whole meet and not let up.”

up well with the Boilermakers’ defensive fl aws. Purdue ranks last in the conference in defending the 3-point shot, allowing opposing teams to shoot 33.4 percent. The 3-pointer has been the Illini offense’s bread and butter this season, especially for senior guard Amber Moore,

who averages three per game, ranking 16th in the country. Additionally, the Illini have been able to shut down opposing 3-point shooters, most recently limiting Michigan State guard Annalise Pickrel, who ranks fi fth in the conference with a 44.3 3-point percentage, to a

20-percent outing in the Illinois win Thursday. The Illini as a team rank sixth in the conference in 3-point percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot 30.4 percent per game.

Club hockey salvages series split BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

The No. 20 Illini hockey team didn’t step off the bus from Ohio until 4:30 in the morning on Sunday and the players were in need of some rest after two very close, physical and intense games against the No. 4 Bobcats. The Illinois-Ohio rivalry was renewed this weekend, with each team winning by just one goal and both game-winners coming late in the third period of each game. “These were some of the most intense games I think I’ve ever played in,” said senior captain Austin Bostock, who has been battling the fl u since Friday night. “I think it was a typical Illinois-Ohio matchup.” After a heartbreaking 2-1 loss Friday in which Ohio scored the game-winning goal with 31 seconds left in regulation, Illinois fell into a 3-1 hole on Saturday. The Illini were able to rally back, however, scoring three goals in the fi nal period to steal a 4-3 victory over the Bobcats. S en ior for wa rd Edd ie Quagliata and sophomore forward John Olen each had power-play goals in the fi nal period to tie the game, and with just under three minutes left, senior forward Matt Welch netted the go-ahead score for the Illini. Senior goaltender Nick Clarke and the Illinois defense killed off an Ohio power-play opportunity, and the Illini secured the comeback victory. “It was a huge win for us,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “They really left everything out there this weekend. All 19 guys in the lineup gave it everything they have, which is the way that we need to play every game here going forward.” Fabbrini said the Illini were emotionally drained after the close loss Friday and didn’t like how they started off the game on Saturday. Ohio was dominating the puck early on and after they

scored just five minutes into the opening period, Fabbrini called a timeout to calm his team down. “We’ve been blown out a few too many times this year, and if we continued playing like we did those fi rst couple minutes, it would have been another blowout,” Bostock said. “I think when (Fabbrini) took that timeout he kind of settled us down. I don’t know if guys were overthinking or squeezing their sticks too tight, but it was a whole different team after that one-minute timeout.” Senior forward John Scully was able to get the Illini on the board shortly after the timeout, and the Illini hung around long enough to mount their dramatic comeback in the third. Fabbr i n i t hought t he difference between the loss and the win came down to level of desperation. “I think we lack urgency sometimes,” he said. “We had plenty of chances to score power-play goals on Friday, we just didn’t do it. We had good looks all weekend long, it was just a matter of time before we were able to score.” The victory was huge for Illinois’ bid for a spot in the ACHA tournament, especially after losing by just one goal to a top-five team in Ohio. With Clarke playing at a high level and five goals scored from four different players, the pieces seem to falling into place at the right time for the Illini. “I’ve said it all year, I like our chances against anybody when we show up and we compete for a full 60 minutes,” Fabbrini said. “I think that as long as we’re able to sustain the effort and energy level we had this weekend, we’ve got a great shot of getting in (the ACHA tournament) and a good shot of making some noise when we get there.”
