BOARD OF TRUSTEES

STAFF WRITER

The Board of Trustees voted 8-1 to reject Steven Salaita’s appointment to the American Indian Studies program on the Urbana campus at its meeting on Thursday. “I’ve come to the conclusion that Professor Salaita’s approach indicates that he indeed (is) incapable of fostering a classroom environment where conflicting opinions (are) given equal consideration regardless of the issue being discussed,” said University President Robert Easter. The vote marks the end of the administration’s role in the controversy surrounding Salaita’s appointment to serve as a professor. The decision to rescind Salaita’s position at the University was made by Chancellor Phyllis Wise after she learned of several controversial tweets Salaita had sent regarding conflict in Gaza. Wise also received numerous emails from donors, alumni and students regarding his appointment before she sent an email to Salaita, notifying him he would not become a professor on campus. “As chancellor, I recognize the possibility of making difficult and unpopular

decisions,” Wise said before stating that she would not recommend an affirmative vote on Salaita’s appointment to AIS. The University could face a lawsuit in the coming months, as Salaita’s attorney, Anand Swaminathan, said he would pursue legal action if Salaita was not hired. “I don’t think it was a difficult decision,” said chairman Christopher Kennedy when asked about the board’s decision making process. “We simply backed the President and the Chancellor; a President and Chancellor that we have great faith in. The current Board has really acted to restrain itself from overreaching into the day-to-day operations of the administration.” Before trustees voted on Salaita’s appointment, they heard public comments from attendees such as American Indian Studies director Robert Warrior, who said that if hired, Salaita would be “fair and open” to his students. Warrior dismissed the speculation that Salaita would be hostile towards students with political beliefs opposite of his own. A vast majority of the public who attended the meeting,

Fresh financial aid policy passed, budget approved DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The Board of Trustees passed its budget for the 2015 fiscal year, changed financial aid policies and approved appointmentrelated solutions affecting the Urbana campus at its Thursday, Sept. 11 meeting.

Financial aid policies The Board voted to amend the University’s financial aid policy and guidelines to meet the recommendations of a June 2013 University audit, according to a resolution. The guidelines were changed to reduce restrictions on financial aid, ensuring that the University’s level of aid increases at the same rate as its tuition. They also introduced new accountability requirements for these guidelines, which would review the supplemental financial aid budget on a yearly basis. The University plans to spend $84 million on financial aid this year, an increase

of $16 million from 2013. The increased level of funding is a result of an increase in the tuition rate by 1.7 percent, which was approved by the Board in January. University spokesman Tom Hardy hopes the new level of financial aid will help the University retain more accepted students. In fall 2014, 34.8 percent of students admitted decided to enroll.

UI in-state enrollment percentages down Fall freshman class enrollment demographics The numbers in these graphs represent the demographics of this year’s freshman class compared with last year’s class, showing a decrease of in-state students.

2014

The annual 10-day enrollment report, released by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions on Tuesday, revealed that less incoming freshman are from Illinois. The report showed a decrease in the overall number of students accepted, from 7,331 in 2013 to 6,937 students in 2014. Last year, 73.1 percent of the freshman class was comprised of in-state students, but that number has dropped to 71.7 percent this year. Out-of-state students from the U.S. increased from 815 to 914. A majority of out-ofstate students from the U.S. are from California — 24.1 percent, 220 students. The report shows that 15.1 percent of the freshmen class is comprised of international students — 1,049 people.

but do not attend. The University admitted 59 percent of its 35,822 applicants; however, only 32.8 percent of the students admitted enrolled to the University. Although more students applied this year, up 2,621 from last year, less students decided to enroll. Last year,

SALAITA held in the Illini Union, were supporters of Salaita. Supporters held up signs with slogans such as: “Reinstate Salaita,” “Civility=Silence, Silence=Death” and “#UIstudents4salaita.” “Nothing is nearly so obvious as Salaita’s detractors would have us believe,” Warrior said. “In our review of Salaita’s teaching, American Indian Studies found no evidence of anything but strong teaching, motivated by what seems like a sincere interest in allowing every student the chance to broaden their skills in critical thinking.” Following the conclusion of Warrior’s statements, Josh Cooper, senior in LAS, voiced his support of Wise’s decision to advise the Board not to approve Salaita’s appointment. In his address to the trustees, Cooper said he spoke on behalf of more than 1,000 current students who, in the last 48 hours, had signed a petition supporting Wise. “Chancellor Wise, we admire your courage, your wisdom and your ongoing efforts to ensure civility on our campus,” said Cooper, quoting the petition. “Hate speech is never acceptable for those applying for a tenured position incitement of violence is never acceptable, [and] yes, there must be a relationship between free speech and civility.” Trustee James Montgomery, cast the sole affirmative vote. While he said he initially supported the withdrawal of Salaita’s position, he believed that he had been mistaken in doing so. “What makes this a great and unique country is that I can stand on a rooftop and call somebody an SOB,” said Montgomery. “Subsequent information that I did not have when this letter was signed, has really caused me some great concern, and that information has to do with evidence of people, in effect, boycotting this University in carrying out some of its most important functions as a university.” To date, 16 academic departments or professional organizations have either issued votes of no confidence in Wise or statements intending a boycott of lectures scheduled on campus. A petition on Change.org demanding Salaita’s reinstatement has collected more than 18,000 signatures. Student trustees Lucas Frye, Hannah Cave and Danielle Leibowitz were legally required to abstain from voting on Salaita’s appointment. Outraged at the result of the Board’s vote, supporters of Salaita marched out of the conference hall, chanting, “Shame on you!”

Ukrainian refugees flood into Russia BY ANN M. SIMMONS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

DONETSK, Russia—Tatiana Poludnitsina fled her home in the eastern Ukrainian town of Luhansk in her robe and flipflops after artillery shells hit it in mid-August. With the help of strangers, she crossed the border into Russia, where she now resides in a temporary refugee camp outside the small border town of Donetsk. “I have nothing anymore, nowhere to go, no apartment ... and all my documents and personal belongings were burned,” said Poludnitsina, 25, as she sat in a tent she shares with a family of four. It is a story that echoes among the tens of thousands of Ukrainian residents who fled their homes when fighting intensified in August between pro-Russia separatists and Ukrainian government forces. An estimated 814,000 Ukrainians have entered Russia since the beginning of the year,

according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, citing data from Russian migration authorities. It is unclear how many of them are ethnic Russians, but local humanitarian workers confirmed that most aid recipients appeared to have ethnic or family ties to Russia. The number of residents displaced within Ukraine doubled during three weeks in August to 260,000 since Jan. 1, the U.N. agency said. But the number is probably higher since many people were “staying with families and friends and had chosen not to register with the authorities,” the agency said. The camp in Russia near Donetsk is one of four temporary settlements opened by Moscow since the separatists seized cities across Ukraine’s eastern region and Ukrainian security forces fought back. About 100 tents are meant to house 1,000 people, camp administrators said. At times, however,

college. According to Adesida, Urbana’s medical school would enroll 25 to 50 students per year. “We are not going to be duplicating anything, but using what we have,” Adesida said. “We are working with UIC to negotiate what will happen on whether they will receive their MDs here or PhDs here.” Adesida said that the University lost four faculty members from the College of Engineering because they wanted to work at a university with a full college of medicine. George Gollin, physics professor, voiced concern during the meeting that UIC’s medical school is tied in last place for the top medical school. Adesida responded by saying that Chicago’s college has 300 incoming students each year. While most colleges are big, they have half of the revenue for research that UIUC has, Adesida said. He added that even Stanford’s program has lowered to 90 students per incoming class. “People are changing the structure and reducing the amount of students as well,” Adesida said. “We are not interested in big, but the best.” The Urbana-Champaign Faculty Senate will review the proposal at its Monday, Sept. 15 meeting and the Board of Trustees will review a business plan for the college in November. The Urbana-Champaign Faculty Senate will review the proposal at its Monday, Sept. 15 meeting and the Board of Trustees will review a business plan for the college in November. “Everyone says medicine should not be taught the same way that it is now,” Rashid Bashir, head of the department for bioengineering, said. “We have a very great opportunity being a University with a topengineering college ... If we can do this now, in the long run we really have a chance to change the way it is taught everywhere else.”

The University will request an additional $40.3 million in state funding, a 2.3 percent increase from fiscal year 2015’s level of state appropriations. According to Hardy, the University will receive roughly $660 million in direct revenue annually from Illinois. The appropriations request emphasizes the University’s need to maintain competitive salaries for faculty and staff, which are financed in part by state funds. Additionally, the request maintains the University’s current effort to procure increased amounts of maintenance resources and aims to meet increasing operating costs. The capital appropriations request includes budget requests for ten University projects that would receive state funds. The highest priority will go to general repairs and renovations and is budgeted at $33.6 million for the Urbana campus. The collective budget for repairs and renovations on all three University campuses totals $60 million. The request includes capital requests for five additional projects on the Urbana campus, including: $40 million for Altgeld and Illini Hall renovations, $50 million for redevelopment in the Main and Undergraduate libraries, $15 million for the Cultural Center building, $52.4 million for both the Disability Research and the Disability Resources and Educational Services building and $15 million for the Natural History Building renovations. However, state appropriations do not wholly finance the ongoing Natural History Building renovations. The Board awarded nearly $40 million in contracts to six firms hired for the project.

who remain lack passports or other official documents that would allow them to move on or be resettled by the Russian government in cities elsewhere, said Natalya Vyacheslavovna Kim, a senior camp manager. “They are waiting for their document situation to be resolved,” Kim said. “Then it’s up to them to decide whether they want to be here permanent-

ly. They can decide whether to keep their Ukrainian documents or apply for Russian citizenship.” As they wait, flies swarm the stuffy canvas interiors of tents, where the temperature some days soars to nearly 90 degrees. Board walkways traverse the sand and dirt between the shelters, but the stifling heat and frequent wind gusts make it nearly impossible to stay clean. “We wash our hair with cold water,” said Yevgenia Melikyan, 35, who arrived at the camp from Luhansk in early August with her 76-year-old father and teenage son and daughter. There are no books, no television, no Internet. Youngsters play in the dirt. Many appear frightened by loud noises, camp administrators said. “There’s not a day that we don’t hear explosions,” Melikyan said. Meals include millet porridge enhanced with stewed canned meat. Poludnitsina said she longed for a hot dog.

White House celebrates AmeriCorps anniversary BY MARIANNE LEVINE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton returned to the White House on Friday to celebrate the AmeriCorps program begun during his tenure, standing alongside as President Barack Obama announced several new initiatives aimed at getting more Americans to serve. On the 20th anniversary of the program’s start, Obama thanked current and past AmeriCorps volunteers for their service and reflected on his time as a community organizer in Chicago. He also thanked Clinton for starting the program and noted that at the time, Clinton said it would change America. “Bill, you were right,” Obama said. “AmeriCorps has changed the life of our nation.” Clinton praised AmeriCorps’ return on investment and called on Congress to “reconsider its opposition to its budget requests and give us a chance to help AmeriCorps grow some more.” Obama also announced an initiative to encourage employers to hire more alumni from AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps. NBCUniversal, Disney, Comcast and the American Red Cross have signed on to the effort. “If you are an employer who wants to hire talented, dedicated ... energetic workers, look to AmeriCorps, look to Peace Corps,” Obama said.

About 900,000 Americans have participated in AmeriCorps since the program’s inception, and about 75,000 people will volunteer this year in schools, nonprofits, agencies and faith-based groups, according to the White House. Clinton highlighted the long-term dedication to public service of AmeriCorps alumni and emphasized the importance of the program’s diversity. “Look at you, look at the rainbow of diversity united to advance our common humanity,” he told the current and former volunteers at the ceremony. “That is the secret of our future.”

The board was able to hear from all sides of the campus community prior to voting, helping them come to an informed conclusion. The Board of Trustees also moved the public comment section up last year when voting on student health care, which included coverage of gender confirmation surgery for the Urbana campus. The topic became such a controversial issue on our campus, with students protesting and commenting on both sides, it was immensely beneficial to have this input before the vote. We wish we could say that these were normal occurrences, and that the board allows for public comment before voting on any item regardless of the level of controversy that surrounds it. Instead, a public comment segment is often pushed to the end of the meeting. The public is always allowed to comment, though not usually until all items have already been voted on. If a member of the campus community wants to present a new idea or counterargument against one of the board’s items, on most occasions, he is unable to do so until after it’s been passed. At that point, what’s the benefit of speaking up? Trustee James Montgomery, who was the sole trustee to vote in favor of Salaita’s appointment, said part of the problem surrounding whether Salaita should be hired concerned the idea of shared governance and the lack thereof in this decision-making process. Montgomery said more faculty should have weighed in on the decision, and the communication should have been better between administration and faculty. This comes after the public comment session was moved to a more effective time. We think moving the public comment section of the meeting up is a good first step, and we appreciate that the Board of Trustees recognizes that voices on campus need to be heard. However, we agree with Trustee Montgomery that more avenues need to be used where faculty can help provide their input on the situation. Often, the Champaign-Urbana faculty senate will issue a statement on controversial campus topics, but the senate’s schedule didn’t line up with the board’s schedule. An inconvenient schedule shouldn’t mute the faculty’s leadership, and open communication is something that should continue to be encouraged when making mass decisions.

ADMIRING A CHAMPAIGN ANCHORMAN

L.C. WEDS IN CALIFORNIA

Champaign’s WCIA-TV Dave Benton announced in a broadcast Thursday that doctors have estimated he has four to six months to live. The anchorman had previously told viewers his cancer had returned and added that his brain tumor is too large for surgery or radiation. Benton vowed to continue working to present viewers with quality news, reminding those watching that he is not alone in his fight. Benton’s story has gone viral, and well-wishes have come pouring in from all corners of the country, even some from overseas.

Remember all those tears Lauren Conrad cried on MTV’s hit shows “The Hills� and “Laguna Beach?� It seemed like L.C. could never win — whether it was Heidi abandoning her for Spencer or her own foolish decision to turn down her dream job for a guy no one remembers the name of. But now things are looking up: Conrad married musician William Tell in California on Saturday. May your marriage be filled with as much happiness as Speidi’s.

', '(1,(' KANYE WEST CHRONICLES Kanye West won’t stand for people sitting at his shows — even if those people cannot physically stand. At a concert in Sydney, Australia on Friday, West addressed two members of the audience who were still seated. “I can’t do this song. I can’t do this show until everybody stand up,� the rapper announced into his mic. “Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and shit. Imma see you if you ain’t standing up, believe me, I’m very good at that.� In fact, the fans in question were handicapped. One had a prosthetic limb, and the other was in a wheelchair. As we all know, West is also “very good� at making a fool of himself.

WHO STOLE THE PUMPKINS FROM THE PUMPKIN PATCH? We all know the phrase, “like taking candy from a baby,� but would any of us ever actually do that? No. Because if you steal candy from a baby, then you’re more or less a jerk. However, recently, some thieves stole pumpkins from a pumpkin patch grown by preschoolers in New Mexico. These students had worked hard and studied the pumpkins, weeded them and watered them. Fortunately, many good Samaritans donated more pumpkins to the preschoolers, and like any good-natured kid, their response to the thievery was not anger, but rather, “Why didn’t they just ask permission? We would have given them the pumpkins.�

I want it that way EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist

I

never thought I would reach the day when I would be forced to become a practicing grown-up. I know how to pay bills, I know how to prepare for and dominate interviews, and I know all the steps to practice if I want to be seen as a fully functioning a-d-u-l-t (I spelled this out because the word is still kind of scary to say when I’m talking about myself). As a person who used to say everything was fine in every circumstance, I was always willing to forgive lapses in service. In restaurants, stores, apartments and even with friends, I chose the polite, suffering route because I didn’t like making people go through the trouble of doing extra work for me (even when it should have been done in the first place). Plus, I never thought I would have to put my grown-up skills into practice and prove a level of assertion substantial enough to move mountains and get my way. My passivity toward things going wrong was tested — and soon broken — on move-in day this year. My roommate, Molly,

walked into her room, noticed the sopping wet carpet and proceeded to ask the rest of us if we thought that her carpet was just sudsy from being cleaned. We did. That is until we noticed the leak from our ceiling vent, seeping through the walls and causing mold and mildew to grow in her carpet — very much the opposite of clean and sudsy. After being told by maintenance to have a fan going 24/7, obviously racking up our energy bill, I channeled my inner mom with a voice that meant business, and I called our leaser, telling them that moving into a clearly uninspected apartment that hadn’t been cleaned of mold and mildew was unacceptable, especially with no warning. And now we were literally going to pay for their mistakes. I got a well-deserved $400 rent credit for our first month that I never would have gotten had I just went with the flow — the flow being the water coming from our ceiling, of course. All of us need to have a bit of the great debater and great communicator within ourselves to get the things that we need out of life — and to make sure that we aren’t living in a room with a moldy carpet. My forgiveness threshold was tested weeks later, too. After three days, five calls, and every troubleshooting strategy imag-

inable, our Wi-Fi was still nonexistent. With one Ethernet cord to split amongst four inhabitants, three of us shouted expletives at a useless modem. After my first victory with the leaser, I called our Internet provider. I turned on my professional mom voice again, ready with words and phrases I had used about the carpet, and I talked my way into getting a $30 credit — more than a third of our bill. With a carpet that could be used as a kiddy pool one week and looming Moodle deadlines and no LTE data left on my cell plan the next, I was pretty peeved (in PG terms.) But these things would have been forgivable for me months earlier. Leak in the ceiling? Put a bucket under it and lay down towels. Internet not working? Go to the Ike. Is your hamburger you wanted well-done bleeding on the inside? Ask your mom for a bite of her pasta and eat your fries. I was okay having my experiences ruined, but not anymore. It’s dumb to mosey around difficult problems in life because we’re afraid to hurt people’s feelings when, really, we should take charge. Inconveniencing people in any setting or making them feel like they did something wrong made me feel terrible, even if I

was extremely polite. Getting your way is about tone and about talking to the right people, but if you’ve made a third or fourth call to customer service and find yourself paying $100 for broken Wi-Fi, you need to be prepared to dole out tough love. The problems my roommates and I experienced evolved from just needing to be fixed to being professionally unacceptable. We deserved better. We all deserve better. These problems in my apartment should have been taken care of, and I wasn’t a bad person for demanding that. I could be convenient and miserable, or I could be assertive and happy (and healthy. Seriously. Mold?) Sometimes situations demand your most assertive self, and when that time comes, you better make sure that the person you are dealing with is ready to step up to the occasion. We have to strap on our bigkid pants and stop moseying around. Get big ol’ rent and Internet credits and don’t feel bad about it. Send your incorrect entree back, and be assertive for yourself. This is a skill we’re going to need for the rest of our lives, and we might as well start practicing now.

Controversial issues too easily forgotten BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist

T

he past month has been full of high-profile events, both abroad and domestic. While we’ve seen international conflicts with Israel, Hamas, ISIS, Russia, the Ukraine and many other groups and countries, we’ve also witnessed an exceptional number of domestic issues — most recently in Ferguson, Missouri, and even here on our campus with the termination of Steven Salaita’s job offer. It’s rare for major news sources to pick up a story from Champaign-Urbana. And while student interest has been fairly large, I fear the Salaita issue will follow the trend of those mentioned in the previous paragraph. They were each very popular for a time and then, probably far too soon, the issues left our collective memory in favor of the next controversial event. Sustaining interest in issues until actual changes are made is something most of us seem to have a hard time with. Last week, students were protesting academic freedom and the influence of money in the public higher-education system in response to the Salaita situation. Next week, as cyn-

ical as this sounds, we’ll probably see nothing (or very little) on the subject. The Facebook groups will become quieter with time until they fall silent. Eventually, the issue will only be accessible in archives and our memories. While this is natural, it also signals a sizable problem. If we get fired up over these issues only when they’re popular, how can we expect our voices to be heard and our sentiments to be remembered? I speak for most, if not all, students when I say this: We were raised on the Internet. Our insatiable desire for instant information is something that is inherent to our generation. One needs to look no further than Twitter, which operates at a limit of 140 characters, to see that news is making a shift toward instant delivery. While there are a plethora of positives from this shift, I can’t help but think that it contributes, at least somewhat, to the capricious nature of our generation’s average news consumer. News is fleeting and social now, and it becomes hard to differentiate the importance of a given issue when an article on something that’s important pops up right below your friend’s Instagram photo of a super fancy hot fudge sundae. It’s difficult to assess the gravity of a story or an issue because it is increasingly

lumped in with frivolous information we are trained to look at once and then disregard. Just over a month ago, Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager, was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. His story prompted outrage across the nation and sparked massive debate about race relations in America, police militarization and other topics. Protests continued, the population’s interest was at a peak and the story graced nearly every reputable publication in the developed world. Just a month removed, however, and the Facebook posts, tweets and news coverage have reduced dramatically. Brown is still dead, and the issues surrounding this case haven’t been fully resolved, but the population has seemingly become distracted by the next major cause — as is usually the case. I’m not saying these issues should remain on the front page of the paper until they’re entirely resolved; that’s illogical. Of course new events will unfold, the population’s interest will shift and headlines will change — there’s nothing wrong with that. It seems, however, that these stories come and go with so much fluidity that people forget the importance of the issue at hand before being occupied by something else at the top of the news totem pole. The pressure is on us as indi-

viduals to remember these issues once they fade from the front page. We can still get caught up in dumping ice on our heads (in fairness, that was a cool marketing idea for a great cause) and the next big international crisis, but we must be careful to learn from the past as well. Change will not come in any of these instances unless the population is persistent in their demands. If we forget the major issues before they’re resolved, how can we truly make a change? We can’t just disregard controversies after they become unpopular. It’s kind of like that clichĂŠ quote from George Santayana your history teacher always loved: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.â€? If events like the rise of extremism with ISIS, police brutality with Michael Brown and threatened academic freedom with Steven Salaita are rapidly forgotten, there’s little chance we can ever learn from them. Perhaps that means we just have to pay more attention, but I’d settle for sustained coverage until the voice of the people is truly heard. In order to do that, we need to stop disregarding issues so hastily.

At some colleges, book lists spark controversy BY LARRY GORDON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Freshmen at colleges around the country for years have been assigned to read the same books as a way to bond at orientation and to encourage intellectual interactions rather than just social ones. But this year, some of the reading selections are under attack. In South Carolina, for example, the state Legislature tried to cut funding for two state universities that selected books with gay themes. The conservative Young Americans for Freedom compiled a list of books it contends offer only left-leaning perspectives, including “Americanah,” a novel by a celebrated Nigerian writer that was picked this year at Pomona College, Penn State, Duke University and Macalester College. The National Association of Scholars had another beef. It advocates the classics and argued in a recent report that by frequently selecting contemporary literature, “colleges are implying that students have little to learn from the past. Or perhaps they simply think students’ attention spans are too limited for them to want to pick up such a book and read it on their own.” The group suggested schools should instead assign such alternatives as James Fennimore Cooper’s “The Last of the Mohicans,” Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man,” Shakespeare’s plays, and selections from the Bible. Colleges deny any political intent. They say they seek high-quality books that provoke debate and that they are encouraging it as an academic experience among all the other events and parties during those first few days on campus. Since many schools invite authors to campus, classics by long-dead writers don’t fit the bill and there are

LAWRENCE K. HO MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Author Drew Magary chats with a group of freshmen after California State University Northridge’s freshmen convocation at the school’s Oviatt Library on Sept. 4. other opportunities to study them, colleges say. A common book “is a tangible bond but it has intellectual heft as opposed to just wearing the school colors,” said Cheryl Spector, director of academic first-year experiences at California State University, Northridge, where this year’s common reading is “The Postmortal,” a futuristic novel by Drew Magary about possible immortality and a cure for aging. Critics misunderstand the programs’ goals, she said: “The fact is we are not trying to pick literary masterpieces primarily, although we don’t mind it if we hit them. But we do want engagement with students. We want to invite them to a love of reading.” Nearly 40 percent of colleges ask students to participate in such readings, according to a recent survey by the Association for Orientation, Transition and Retention in Higher Education. At Pomona College, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “Americanah,” a novel about Nigerians who immigrate to the U.S. and Britain and return home, was selected from 40 nominated books by a panel of faculty, students and others. Copies were mailed to incoming freshmen’s homes.

Pomona’s dean of students, Miriam Feldblum, said Young Americans for Freedom badly mischaracterized the book. The novel, she said, offers multiple perspectives of racial topics and American and Nigerian societies and emphasizes that people should not make assumptions about culture and history. Beyond its cross-cultural themes, it’s a good book for young people because it examines long friendships and life’s unexpected turns, she said. The college aims for political balance, Feldblum said, pointing to the 2008 selections of autobiographies from both presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain. In South Carolina, legislators originally sought to cut funding from the College of Charleston for assigning “Fun Home,” an illustrated memoir by lesbian writer Alison Bechdel, and the University of South Carolina Upstate for “Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio,” a compilation of gay-themed stories. After much protest over academic freedom, lawmakers instead required the schools to devote $70,000 — the cost of the reading programs — to teaching about the U.S. Constitution and other founding documents.

Hookah popular, but health issues abound BY LIZZIE JOHNSON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

DALLAS — Clouds of sickly sweet blackberry smoke are billowing out of Isaac Doss’ mouth. He takes a long draw from the bubbling hookah and passes the pipe to Kara Brick. They are sprawled on cushioned wicker chairs on the patio at Kush, a hookah bar on Greenville Avenue in Dallas. It’s a muggy Thursday and the two are celebrating the return of Kara’s sister, Savannah Brick, from an au pair job in Europe. “This is kind of cheating,” Kara Brick, 28, says. “We are all ex-smokers. With cigarettes, you really have to push through smoking it the first time. They taste terrible and smell terrible. Hookah is actually enjoyable. This has a social feel and is something we can do together.” Hookah bars are a relaxed gathering place for customers to socialize as they smoke tobacco through water pipes. Nearly one in five U.S. students smoked hookah in the last year, according to a study published in the journal Pediatrics. About 10 businesses sell hookah within a fivemile radius of the University of Texas at Dallas. But hookah, which comes with few warning labels or health notices, can be more dangerous than smoking cigarettes. A study funded by the National Institutes of Health notes that a single hookah session delivers 1.7 times the nicotine, 6.5 times the carbon monoxide and 46.4 times the tar of a single cigarette. “There is no reason to believe that a water pipe is less dangerous than a cigarette,” says Dr. Thomas Eissenberg, a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who has conducted numerous studies on water pipe smoking. “In fact, depending on some of the toxins, there is reason to believe it is more dangerous.” Doss, 25, smoked hookah regularly at the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Ark., without realizing the health risks. “I was 18 the first time I smoked,” he says. “I smoked every weekend. I never considered how bad it would be for me. Now I smoke occa-

Friends hang out at Kush Mediterranean Grill & Hookah Lounge on Lower Greenville, in Dallas, on June 20. Some studies show hookah smoking is no healthier than cigarettes. sionally enough that it really can’t affect me. It’s something I consider before I go to the hookah bar.” Kevin Perlich, a spokesman at the Richardson, Tex., Police Department, says that anyone caught smoking under 18 will be issued a citation for the use of tobacco, a Class C misdemeanor similar to a speeding ticket. Richardson has adopted ordinances that ban the use of tobacco products, including water pipes, in most public places. But the law does not restrict young patrons from entering the lounge, so teenagers are legally able to be in the environment. “Hookah seems like it is on the upswing,” says Dr. Gary Weinstein, a pulmonologist at Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas. “There are hookah bars in many young areas, and it’s a cool thing to do. It seems cooler than smoking a cigarette.” Data from the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future survey suggests hookah usage among high school seniors in the past year rose 21 percent. “The problem is, if you go into a water pipe bar and look at the pipe you are being served, there is nothing on that pipe or on the tobacco or in that charcoal that tells you it’s dangerous,” Eissenberg says. “I have gotten this outlook from kids: ‘It doesn’t say it’s dangerous, so it must be safe.’” The tobacco comes in many flavors, ranging from chocolate to fruit to alcoholic varieties. This is because smoking a hookah requires taking harder and longer drags,

increasing the levels of inhaled carcinogens and nicotine in the lungs. “When they take a puff, the smoke is very cool and the draw resistance is very low, so it is easy to inhale and it tastes good,” Eissenberg says. “They take dramatically larger puffs, about 500 milliliters per puff. We are talking about an entire cigarette’s worth of smoke in a single puff.” A 45- to 60-minute hookah session can expose the smoker to about the same amount of nicotine and tar as one pack of cigarettes, Eissenberg says. “If you aren’t a cigarette smoker because you know cigarettes are dangerous and lethal, then there is absolutely no reason to be smoking a water pipe and every reason to avoid it for the same reason,” he says. “Water pipe smoking will kill you also.” Dr. Mark Millard, a medical director at Baylor Martha Foster Lung Care Center, has practiced medicine in the Middle East, an area where water pipe smoking has been prevalent for more than 400 years. On one trip, he treated a woman from Saudi Arabia with a hacking cough. “She was smoking every night for an hour,” he says. “It’s nicotine that is the addictive factor. It makes people want to come back for more. People can get addicted to hookahs, and it does affect your health.” Eissenberg says: Know the risks. “As a package deal, it’s a dangerous thing to do,” he says. “Educate yourself. Then make the decision.”

Recent study re-examines ‘just say no’ drug refusal strategy BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: A source’s name has been changed to Derrick to protect his identity. It was a girl that changed *Derrick’s life the night she introduced him to alcohol. In high school, he was the kid that got mad at friends who used substances and often wondered why anyone would hang out with “that� crowd. He was “in the shell,� and a “loser,� as he described himself. Until he met *Anna. Against the odds, she was nice and successful. And she was a binge drinker. But she had a crush on Derrick and introduced him to a “whole new side of life.� “She was using alcohol to get me drunk to hook up with me,� he said. “The first night was a few drinks. They put it in some gas station bottle and gave me a lot of random shit. They were all surprised, saying, ‘Derrick’s here! You go to parties? I didn’t know that!’� His first kiss happened that night, and then his second, third, fourth. He started to like this new lifestyle. “A few weeks later, a friend who was at that party texted me to ask if I was going to fly tonight,� Derrick said, meaning to get high. “I already

drank so I might as well try smoking.� He brought $5 as requested and went to the dealer’s place. They gave Derrick a pipe and then a bong and then a gas mask, something he didn’t know could even be used with drugs. “I had a very good time that first time,� he said. He graduated from high school a semester early and started renting his own apartment, becoming a “stoner� because he was the only one in his friend group without supervision. When he got accepted to the University, he decided he wanted to prove something to the world. “I’m going to be the kid that can prove to other people that you can do a lot of drugs and still be successful,� he said. For Derrick, no is not an option. *** A new study co-authored by scholars at the University investigates teaching adolescents to “just say no� to drugs. Refusal skills training, techniques used to refuse drugs, may not be as effective as previously thought. Social work professors Douglas Smith and Karen Tabb worked on replicating a study in which a group of African-American adults with alcohol problems showed they benefitted more from refusal skills training, a fact that surprised Smith. Smith and Tabb compared the results of 214 African-

American adolescents who received refusal skills training with 212 African-American adolescents who did not. The study also looked at 214 Caucasian youths who received the training. About 48 percent of the African-American teens who received the training were abstinent at follow-up whereas 45 percent who did not receive the training were not.

evidence-based therapies with research support that proves certain methods are more effective over others, Smith said. Programs that are not effective “do a little bit of everything� and may do activities that are unrelated to why patients are there. “Programs that are evidence-based tend to be very focused on why you’re here,� Smith said.

“If you’ve built a whole social life around using and now you’ve decided not to, it could seriously affect your social life.� MARY RUSSELL

COORDINATOR OF THE ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG OFFICE

Roughly 51 percent of Caucasian teens were abstinent three to six months later. “It’s not that just saying no isn’t effective, it’s that it’s not the magic bullet for improving treatment for minorities,� Smith said. “What was more important was how many of the different treatments did they get overall rather than did they just get the ‘just say no’ piece.� The “just say no� motto began in the 1980’s and explained to children and adolescents that drugs are bad, Smith said. A wellorganized program uses

These programs focus on key components and teach strategies to help users reach their goals. *** Mary Russell, coordinator of the Alcohol and Other Drug Office, said that “just saying no� only emphasizes not getting started with drugs and does not help those that are already involved. “It’s one thing to be able to stop using while you’re in treatment. It’s another thing to sustain that change when you return to your day-to-day life,�

Russell said. “If you want to sustain abstinence, you have to be able to say, ‘Thanks, but I’m good.’� Derrick has introduced 19 people to drugs, but said he always asks if they are comfortable and sure that they want to do it. “It’s not a peer pressure thing, but with my core group of friends, sometimes I get that,� he said. “They’ll pass it to me and sometimes I won’t want to say, ‘No, I’m good,’ because they’ll push back.� When the factor of money comes into play, Derrick said refusing free drugs becomes tricky. “There is this weird, ‘Oh, I don’t want to turn down this bong,’ especially when I’m not paying for it. So sometimes I’ll take it and just get too high; I’ll have to go back to sleep,� he said. Over time, it becomes harder to say no to drugs after the brain becomes used to the substance, Russell said. Even after going through treatment, people may still have the desire to use. “They don’t say no because they want to say yes,� Russell said. The settings in which users are raised also affects how they respond to drugs. Some people may have better access to resources to help them whereas some oppressed minority groups do not. Reasons for using, like

numbing or avoiding the difficulties of life, can deter someone from quitting use, Russell said. “If you’ve built a whole social life around using and now you’ve decided not to, it could seriously affect your social life and friendship circle,� Russell said. “Depending on the culture and group a person belongs to, there may be particular pressures on continuing relationships with these people.� Derrick said pressuring people into doing drugs is not as common as it seems, but there is still a social pressure among friends. “A friend who was too tired, I might’ve been like, ‘Oh, come on, join us,’ or something, but (peer pressuring) is definitely not that common,� he said. “Sometimes I’ll want to do a little bit, and I’ll get pulled into doing a lot.� Russell said the key strategy is having the motivation to sustain resistance over time. “Having access to support over time, even after you leave treatment, is really important,� she said. “Accessing educational information, clinical information, support services, building skills, talking to friends ... all of these things in combination make a difference.�

Qdoba to return to campus in Illini Union Food Court Chain will take Sushi San’s former location in late October

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

The Illini Union Food Court is preparing to welcome Qdoba Mexican Gr i l l as its newest restaurant opening. Ac c ord i ng to L or i Hol mes, ma nager of vendor contracts for the Illini Union, construction for Qdoba has started in the space that Sushi San formerly occupied. “I am h appy to announce that we have begun construction on a new Qdoba restaurant in the Illini Union Food Court,� she said. “We are ver y excited by

Green St., the restaurant closed its Green Street location in 2013. Qdoba is a mexican-style grill similar to Chipotle that serves burritos, tacos and breakfast food and is owned by Jack in the Box. The menu revolves around their various quesos and salsas, which both have various degrees of spiciness. Each year, the Illini Union distributes its a n nu a l c a mpu s -w id e survey, asking students to give feedback on the vendors presented in the food court, which serves as guidance for choosing restaurants that

Big plays bury Illinois BY SHANNON RYAN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

SEATTLE — Illinois fans watching the game from home complained that Saturday’s game against Washington was being bumped from the broadcast until a baseball game ended. They should have considered it a blessing. The Illini dropped their first game of the season, 44-19, on Saturday afternoon at Washington. It unraveled quickly for Illinois (2-1), which trailed

38-12 at halftime. The Illini turned the ball over three times, including an interception and a fumble by quarterback Wes Lunt, resulting in 36- and 52-yard touchdowns, respectively, for Washington linebacker Shaq Thompson. In fact, Thompson’s plays alone had the Huskies with a lead over the entire Illini offense. The Illini racked up 70 yards with seven penalties, including back-to-back facemask calls and an unnec-

essary interference penalty as Washington faced third-and-29. They also failed to convert on all six third-down attempts in the first half, while the Huskies converted on five of eight. Illinois only scored on a wobbly 25-yard field goal, a safety and a nice 60-yard bomb from Lunt to receiver Geronimo Allison late in the first half. The Illini scored on a 27-yard touchdown pass again from Lunt to Allison to

cut Washington’s lead 38-19, then held Washington scoreless in the third period after the Huskies put up 38 points in the first half. Illinois has fallen behind before this season, but never this quickly or dramatically. After beating Youngstown State and Western Kentucky with fourth-quarter comebacks, Illinois coaches praised the team’s ability to bounce back. But this was an insurmountable challenge for the Illini.

This past weekend proved to be more of the same for the No. 12 Illinois volleyball team. Illinois (5-3) won two of its three matches in the Blue Raider Bash, sweeping Middle Tennessee State (3-7) and Washington State (7-2), continuing their trend of winning matches in straight sets. Every one of their wins this season have been in three sets. On Saturday, Illinois struggled to close out a tight match against Virginia Tech (4-6). “In the Virginia Tech match we came out flat the whole time,� head coach Kevin Hambly said. “We were able to pull out the first two sets, but they kept gaining momentum and momentum and momentum as it went along and we didn’t respond the way we needed to.� The first set between the Hokies and the Illini was highly contested as the match was tied 16 times and there were six lead changes before Illinois came away with a 35-33 win. The Illini took the second set more comfortably with a 25-17 win, but the Hokies began to build energy and junior setter Alexis Viliunas said that although Illinois played well offensively, the team didn’t seem to have an answer for Virginia Tech. “Our blocking and defense struggled a little bit during that match,� Viliunas said. “Our offense was actually pretty good. “I just don’t think we were there all the way and ready to play.� The Hokies won the next three sets 25-22, 25-19 and 15-13, respectively, in part because of their aggressive serving. Virginia Tech totaled eight service aces to Illinois’ nine service errors in the match. Viliunas said Virginia Tech’s forceful serving took Illinois out of its offensive system and shook the team’s confidence. After the Saturday morning match against the Hokies, the Illini held a team meeting to discuss what needed to be changed in the next match. Junior outside hitter Jocelyn Birks said the team talked about its attitude and “will to win,� in the

Summary: Illinois swept Middle Tennessee State and Washington State but dropped a five-set match to Virginia Tech. Key performer: Jocelyn Birks had 46 kills, 20 digs and five blocks on the weekend. She was also named to the alltournament team for her performance. Quote of the game: Alexis Viliunas: “If we want to be good in the Big Ten, we have to figure out how to attack teams throughout a match rather than in just one set.� Hidden stat: Illinois and Virginia Tech were tied 16 times in the first set of their match on Saturday morning. The Illini took the first set 35-33 but lost the match in five sets. Up next: vs. Creighton, 7 p.m. Friday in Omaha, Neb. meeting before discussing the fact that the team needed to attack the opponent in each and every set. Viliunas said the team also touched on the type of team they want to be as the season progresses in its between-match meeting. “We talked a lot about doing what we’re actually saying,� Viliunas said. “We can say all the things we want, but it’s different putting it into action and actually doing it on the court. We just talked a lot about that and how we want to be a great team not just a good team.� The team meeting worked. Illinois played with confidence against Washington State, sweeping the Cougars with scores of 25-20, 25-20 and 25-23. Illinois also handled Middle Tennessee State easily in the weekend opener, winning with scores of 25-11, 25-20 and 25-23. Birks, who finished with 46 kills, 20 digs and five kills on the weekend — and was named to the all-tournament team for her performance — led Illinois offensively on the weekend.

Illini open season with big comeback

Men’s golf takes title at Fighting Illini Invite BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s golf team did a lot of unconventional things this weekend. For starters, it opened up its season by hosting a tournament with one of the toughest fields in the country; a thing that many toptier teams won’t usually do. Illinois also moved up the scoreboard following each

round, going from tied for third after Friday, jumping to second overall after Saturday and leaving Olympia Fields as the champions on Sunday. The Illini won with an total-round 861, 11 shots better than second place Florida State. Other notable teams at the event were No. 1-ranked Alabama, No. 3 Stanford and

No. 4 Oklahoma State. Head coach Mike Small’s squad also depended heavily on a true freshman in its very first competition of the season. That freshman, Dylan Meyer from Evansville, Ind., finished the tournament tied atop the leaderboard, posting a 3-over-par 213 for the weekend in his first collegiate tournament. Meyer said the 18th hole really stuck out in his mind.

Things quickly turn ugly for Illini football in Seattle SEAN HAMMOND Sports editor

D

id you make it to the end of Illinois’ debacle against Washington in Seattle? If so, I applaud you. Saturday’s game was hard to watch, especially if you were watching on TV, where there were so many other channels you could flip to. It wasn’t a bad start for Illinois. The Illini surrendered a touchdown on their first defensive possession. But then quar-

terback Wes Lunt led Illinois all the way down the field before being forced to settle for a field goal. Lunt was five-for-six on the possession and looked solid. And then things went downhill fast. Washington quarterback Cyler Miles threw a 75-yard touchdown to receiver John Ross on the very first play of the Huskies’ next drive. Lunt threw an interception right into the arms of the Huskies’ Shaq Thompson, who ran it back for a touchdown. Washington followed it with another 75-yard touchdown drive, this one taking eight plays

rather than one. Thompson would score again on the Illini’s next possession on a scoop-and-score after a Lunt fumble. Illinois added a safety in there somewhere, but it’s hard to remember between which Washington touchdowns it came. They all blurred together. Before anyone knew what was happening it was 35-5 and I was wondering how I was going to get through the rest of the game. It’s that same old feeling for Illinois fans. It was 38-12 at the half and fans were sitting on couches and at bars in their orange and blue gear wondering

if they really wanted to watch keep watching. How many times have Illini fans felt the same way over the past two years? It feels as if they have been through this before. Maybe I’m a fool, but I thought this was a winnable game for Illinois. I didn’t necessarily expect the Illini to win, but I also wasn’t expecting a 30-point second quarter deficit. A week ago, Lunt quietly put together a 456-yard game. This week he was simply quiet. Of his 224 yards against Washington, 160 of them were thrown to Geronimo Allison. Few

of his passes were memorable and backup Reilly O’Toole even came in late in the game. Prior to Saturday, I had called this matchup with Washington the first real test for the Illini. I’d give them an F. Sure, it was one bad game. But after Saturday’s performance it feels like Illinois is in store for another mediocre season that falls a win or two short of a bowl game. I don’t know how the Illini will fare in Big Ten play. The Big Ten has been less than impressive through three weeks, but the Illini we saw on Saturday are not going to win

more than a couple of conference games. If you did stick around through halftime, you stayed at least long enough to see Josh Ferguson fumble the ball back to Washington after just 39 seconds of playing time. Same old story. I needn’t tell you what happened the rest of the second half. There’s a reason you probably changed the channel.

something Danielson said he and some of the other Illini were trying to work on during the offseason. They got the opportunity to show it early in the year with the comeback this weekend. Small had also talked about the team’s chemistry and willingness to fight for each other throughout last season, which was already shown by this year’s team with the result this weekend. “Individually, we’re going to use this as a building block for a successful season and we’re going to get better everyday, every

week, as the year goes on and this is the start of that,” Small said. In terms of depending on the freshman Meyer to win the prestigious opening season tournament, his fellow Illini weren’t too quick to be hard on him. “They weren’t really hard on me, they were really excited and kind of proud,” Meyer said. “They all came up to me and encouraged the whole fact that it happened and that we won as a team.”

After han-

dling Washington State and Middle Tennessee State and having trouble with Virginia Tech, the Illini now know not to overlook a team or think of any match as a guaranteed win. “We can’t take anything lightly,” Viliunas said. “Going into next weekend, we know how it feels to play and attack other teams. “If we want to be good in the Big Ten, we have to figure out how to attack teams throughout a match, rather than in just one set.”

Illini hockey bounces back after exhibition defeat BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois hockey team got its first taste of regular season action this season with a dominant 7-2 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday. Head coach Nick Fabbrini was disappointed with the lack of energy and the high number of penalties the team committed in the opening period. The team overcame its mistakes in the second, with five unanswered goals to open up the game in the Illini’s favor. “Our goalie (Zev Grumet-Morris) really kept us in the game the first period,� Fabbrini said. “He made some big saves.

Then in the second and third period, we got back to doing what we do well, which is playing with a lot of speed and possession of the puck.� The team bounced back against the Huskies after losing an exhibition game to the Springfield Jr. Blues, a semi-professional team, on Friday. Fabbrini said the problems that plagued the team in the first period of the Northern Illinois game were what doomed the team against Springfield. “It was our first game, and we made a lot of mistakes that I think we can chalk up to first game jitters,� Fabbrini said. “Guys were not making

confident plays with the puck, and I think they were more worried about making a mistake than making a play.� Despite the issues, Fabbrini was impressed with the play from his team in its opening weekend, particularly from forward John Olen and center Josh Belmont. Olen led the team with three goals on the weekend, and Belmont contributed the first goal of the regular season for the Illini against Northern Illinois while playing at center for the first time in his career. “This weekend was my first game playing center, and it was somewhat more overwhelm-

ing because Springfield is definitely a faster team,� said sophomore Belmont, who switched to the position from right wing. “I really liked playing NIU because it gave me a chance to really focus on my role and figure out some of the little things when it comes to playing center. I feel like I still have a lot to learn, but it is starting to come together for me.� The team came into the weekend without having any time to practice on its home ice. With the Illinois Ice Arena being repaired, the players have to travel 45 minutes to Danville in order to practice. Fabbrini said the team could return to the Ice Arena

as early as Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Belmont admitted that the traveling has taken its toll on the players, but at the same time, the carpooling between teammates has led to closer bonds on the team. “We haven’t really skipped a beat,� Belmont said. “It’s just been hard driving 45 minutes each way, especially with balancing school. As far as on ice, it’s been just the same as if we were at home. So in that way, we have been really focused and doing well.�
