BSWs address quality drop Housing staff points to policy change in letter to students BY FARAZ MIRZA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Editor’s note: A source’s name has been changed to Diana Waller to protect her identity.

Building Service Workers no longer believe students are getting what they paid for in University Housing fees. BSWs informed student residents with a letter circulated through housing buildings in September that residence halls have been less clean due to administrators prioritizing “other concerns�, cutting workers’ hours and refusing to fi ll jobs as BSWs retire or leave. The letter was written in collaboration with the Service Employees International Union, Local 73, a labor union representing

28,000 workers in Illinois and northwest Indiana. Ricky Baldwin, assistant director of the SEIU Local 73 downstate division, said he wrote the initial draft in consultation with the BSWs in response to complaints he began receiving from workers in May. “In the summer of this year, management began combining a lot of jobs, so what might have been an 8-hour job for years is now being asked to be done in 4 hours,� Baldwin said. In the letter, BSWs said they take great pride in their work and are concerned about its quality, the cleaning that is going undone due to the drastically shortened time frame and the potential for workers to injure themselves while rushing to

Âť

get the job done. Baldwin emphasized the concerns are unique to this semester. However, he said relatively low-level complaints concerning the empty spaces left unfi lled by BSWs began approximately five years ago. He said the largest number of BSWs retired as a result of changes in the pension law. As a result, the BSWs became concerned last year when they realized that a large amount of work was going undone. Diana Waller, a building service worker for 19 years, said she believes the students deserve more. “What really upsets me is that they charge you all so much, but they’ve lowered the standards of cleaning, and they have so many open positions that they’re not fi lling,� Waller said. “If you paid for a clean dorm, then that’s what you should be getting.� Waller said that almost

all BSWs support the fight against reduced service because of how it dynamically affects both the workers and the students. “They enjoy their work, because they enjoy providing a service for the students,� Baldwin said. “They get to know some of the students, and they feel bad if there are roaches, or trash is not taken out on a regular basis.� Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman, said in an email that University Housing continues to provide the same level of service for cleaning and maintenance throughout the school year.

Quinn speaks at ECE building dedication BY JANE LEE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

SONNY AN THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn speaks of the College of Engineering’s potential on Friday in the Grainger Auditorium. The dedication ceremony for the new ECE building focused on the opportunities that are now made available for students through its use.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Champaign-Urbana is no exception to the nationwide problem of homelessness. According to the Urbana-Champaign Continuum of Care’s homelessness surveys, homelessness among children in Champaign County increased from 423 to 543 over the last year. Community Elements, Inc., a resource center specializing in behavioral treatment and prevention, recently received a $181,993 grant in support of its Roundhouse Youth Shelter, which aims to address the needs of runaway and homeless youths and their families. The grant is part of a $13.8 million investment in Illinois health care programs given by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Lisa Benson, director of Residential Services at Community Elements, said the grant supports immediate emergency shelter for minors, as well as funding for facilities and staff, who provide supervision and support to youth both during their stay and after they find housing.

Benson said the grant is awarded in three-year intervals and after each cycle, the center must reapply. Sheila Ferguson, CEO of Community Elements, said the agency is dedicated to providing resources and support for homeless families. Ferguson added that this grant is highly competitive, and there has to be a need in the community. Ferguson said she believes there is a significant number of homeless families in Champaign County. “Underemployment is probably one of the biggest concerning features of our community,� said Ferguson. “There aren’t enough fulltime benefit positions to sustain housing.� Benson said she believes the biggest problem in the community is not ultimately homelessness, but rather the inability to find affordable housing. “It’s probably much more diverse a problem than what people assume,� Benson said. “Oftentimes people automatically think that a homeless situation is because of a family dysfunction. And it’s not always, it’s sometimes

Champaign youth shelter earns grant to aid the homeless BY ANIKE OWOYE

The new Electrical and Computer Engineering Building held its dedication ceremony Friday in Grainger Auditorium to showcase the fi nalized project to University members. Those in attendance included Gov. Pat Quinn, University President Robert Easter, Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Provost Ilesanmi Adesida. Members of the ECE department, such as Sanders and College of Engineering Dean Andreas Cangellaris, donors and building designers also attended the event. “This building is a true home for our department

and reflects upon the values from its emphasis on hands-on learning and collaboration to its global netzero energy of who we are and will allow us to offer our students and faculty unparalleled opportunities for the future,� said William Sanders, department head. The dedication ceremony began with an introductory video that displayed graphics showcasing the history, foundation and layout of the ECE department and its new building.

Benson gave an example of a 16 or 17-year-old minor she has dealt with in the past that lived with his mother or grandmother who needed to move into an assisted living community. When that happened, Benson said the minor was no longer able to continue living with the family member, and therefore ended up without a home. Benson said that the University has also had an impact on the housing market in Champaign because living in a university town automatically increases the rent market. As a result, local families are forced to pay higher rent prices. Despite the increasing number of homeless indi-

viduals and families, Bryant Seraphin, lieutenant of the Criminal Investigation Unit at the Urbana Police Department, said the police don’t have much interaction with homeless youths. Seraphin said besides minor shoplifting incidents, the homeless don’t present a problem. Benson said the center will continue using its resources and networks in the community to work toward solving homelessness, but she said there are still gaps in services. “A family unit doesn’t have to be separated in order to be sheltered, you know; to be able to stay together and stay a family and stay in one place, that’s still a need that needs to be met,� she said.

The Gamma Zeta chapter of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity will continue to operate on campus, despite no longer being recognized by the University, according to a press release from Wynn Smiley, the Chief Executive Officer of the fraternity. The fraternity has been under investigation since an incident occurred last spring, which involved 30 to 50 members of the fraternity. On May 6, members broke windows at Bromley Hall, caused a disturbance at KAM’S and jumped on several cars in Champaign. After the incident, the chapter was suspended due to an ongoing investigation. Smiley acknowledges the incident in the release and said the chapter’s alumni Board of Trustees “took punitive action against everyone involved in the incident including six men who were expelled from the fraternity.� The chapter also paid for the damages caused

and apologized to KAM’s, Smiley said. “It is highly unusual that the National Fraternity keeps a chapter open that has lost host institution

BSW “University Housing works to carefully steward the resources students and their families pay, so vacant positions always are evaluated before a decision is made on whether to fi ll them,� Kaler said. Kirsten Ruby, associate director of University Housing, endorsed Kaler’s statement and declined to comment further on the issue. Waller said BSWs are also concerned that their salaries have not changed as housing rates and tuition have risen. “The University claims they don’t have the money and the budget, but they are constantly hiring upper management,� Waller said. “Tuition goes up every year, but it isn’t going into the service that students should be receiving for the money they are paying.� In addition, Baldwin said the extra workload and the time restriction has been a main complaint of the BSWs to SEIU. “You could time me cleaning the bathroom when the bathroom is not very dirty, and I could probably do it very quickly,� Baldwin said. “But if I walk into a bathroom that’s dirtier, it takes more time to clean that.� Baldwin said some BSWs have also been skipping their breaks trying to get work done, which has become problematic since they become “physically worn out.� Waller said one morning she went to work and saw her area had not been properly cleaned over the weekend by an employee because he was responsible for this extra work on top of his routine job. Based on the letter, the BSWs have been fi ghting the administration’s “constant threat of outsourcing our work to overpriced private contractors who often do shoddy work.� Waller said this is another violation of the BSW contract with the University.

They are often told to ask their supervisors, who usually say to get it all done, Baldwin added. The letter is still circulating at residence halls, according to Baldwin. In addition to the letter, he said at least 75 of 160 BSWs signed a petition created with the help of the SEIU, which was submitted to University administration in August. The petition addressed a stand against the combined jobs and additional workload, and asked administrators to meet with them to discuss the issue. However, Baldwin said the administrators never responded. “I have union stewards who are BSWs that work in housing, and management has refused to meet with them, so there’s a big communication problem,� Baldwin said.

President Obama publicly announces the designation and executive order marking the San Gabriel Mountains region as a national monument at Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas, California, on Friday.

Obama orders creation of San Gabriel Monument gold, of settlers in search of a new life. “It’s the story that continues today,� he added, “with one of the nation’s most vibrant, diverse communities in the backyard of the second-biggest city in the country.� Obama said the designation would provide more resources to the Forest Service, allowing more visitors to hike and explore the San Gabriels. “It’s not enough to have this awesome natural wonder within your sight. You have to be able to access it,� he said. “There haven’t been enough resources to manage and maintain this area the way it deserves.� The president’s decision to carve out roughly half of the Angeles National Forest for the designation marks the 13th time he has used his executive powers to establish or expand a national monument without congressional approval. He cautioned Friday that he’s “not fi nished.�

BY KATE MATHER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SAN DIMAS, Calif. — With the smog-shrouded San Gabriel Mountains looming somewhere in the distance, President Barack Obama on Friday signed a declaration carving a national monument out of the mountain range, a measure aimed at better preserving its natural wonder and increasing visitor access. Speaking from Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas, Obama drew upon images of California’s rugged past as he formally announced the creation of the 346,000-acre San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. “The story of the San Gabriel Mountains is in many ways the story of America,� he said. “It is the story of communities exploring the Great West, of Native Americans, Spanish missionaries, colonialists and rancheros, merchants and landowners. The story of prospectors in search of

“We are blessed to have the most beautiful landscapes in the world,� he said. “We have the responsibility to be good stewards of those landscapes for future generations.� The move is designed to

better preserve the mountain range, a popular destination for Southern Californians wishing to escape urban sprawl. Some 17 million people live within a 90-minute drive of the San Gabriels, which stretch from Santa Clarita to San Bernardino.

But advocates say the 3 million annual visitors have overwhelmed the mountains’ natural beauty. They say an underfunded Forest Service doesn’t have enough uniformed rangers on patrol to watch for graffiti, littering or illegal campfi res that could spark devastating wildfi res. For more than a decade, environmentalists and community groups have sought stronger protection for the mountain range. Earlier this year, U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., introduced a bill that would declare the 655,000 acres of the range a national recreation area — bringing even more resources than the president’s designation. But Obama’s decision was also met with fierce opposition from some mountain communities. Some residents are wary the federal designation could impede on private property rights, limit access or even slow emergency response to wildfi res.

Concerns raised over quality of living and cleanliness in dorms

SAY HIS NAME

CALIFORNIA CLOWNS

While campaigning in Iowa on Friday for Democratic Senate candidate Bruce Braley, the first lady flubbed. And she did so multiple times before the audience set her straight. Instead of raving about Braley, Michelle Obama was all for supporting someone named “Bailey.� In addition to her slip of the tongue, Michelle called Braley a Marine Corps veteran, which he isn’t. (His father is.) Embarrassing. Needless to say, this wasn’t the first lady’s finest hour, but it’s one we mere mortal college students can relate to, especially during midterms. Michelle, honey, get some rest.

P

art of the college experience is living in the dorms. You haven’t really lived the University life unless you fought tooth and nail to live in the Ikenberry Commons, also known as the Six Pack, and/or an air conditioned dorm your freshman year. All new students under the age of 21 are required to live in University-owned or certified housing. Naturally, these campus living arrangements don’t come cheap and the cost has only increased for students. Depending on students’ accommodations at their residency, they pay at least $10,000 for room and board. As a result of this steep cost, it seems only fair that students living in University Housing should be granted certain amenities and services that allow them to have a positive housing experience — so it’s a problem when the building service workers, who upkeep these residence halls, do not think students are getting what they pay for. The Daily Illini reported today that a letter has been circulating the residence halls from University Housing Building Service Workers. In the letter, the BSWs state that the “lower standards of cleanliness� this year are not due to lack of effort on their part, but instead, as the letter states, because “University Administrators have chosen to prioritize other concerns over the usual standards of cleanliness to which previous building occupants were accustomed.� We believe this is an issue because the needs of students should always be prioritized to make sure that we are getting the best experience we can at the University — and our living arrangements are most definitely part of that experience. So if there truly are lower standards of cleanliness in University Housing, that’s a problem. In some instances, BSWs said jobs have not been filled to replace BSWs who have left and workloads have been doubled. These changes have resulted in some tasks being completed in half the time they would normally take, and instructions insinuating BSWs should do the bare minimum, such as “trash and dash,� have been given. Not only are these circumstances inappropriate for the maintenance of residence halls, but they also demonstrate unfair working conditions for the BSWs. BSWs put a lot of time and effort into their jobs, and the quality of students’ experiences in University Housing would not be as good without them. They put in countless hours to make sure students live in safe and sanitary living environments, and the University needs to ensure that the environment under which they work is fair and satisfactory. If the people who work to clean and upkeep the residence halls don’t think that students are getting what they are paying for, and if the assertions the BSWs made are all true, then there is most certainly an issue present. We hope that the University will look into this situation further to right some of the wrongs that have been expressed by BSWs.

Imagine walking outside late at night only to come across a creepy clown, maybe holding balloons, maybe sitting on a toy horse. While this sounds like something out of a horror film (and it might be), it’s a reality in Wasco, California. But don’t just take our word for it; check the Waso Clown Instagram account — if you’re gutsy enough. Supposedly the late-night wandering is all part of a photo project between a California husband and wife. Likely story. And also not believable for all of us who watched the first episode of “American Horror Story: Freak Show� last week. We won’t be heading to Wasco anytime soon.

THE ITSY BITSY SPIDERS, ALL 5000 OF THEM

CAMPUS SAFETY SCARES

Finding one spider scurrying across the floor in the comfort of your own home is gross and terrifying, and will most likely elicit a high-pitched shriek from males and females alike. But finding 5000 venomous spiders casually living alongside you in your house? Nope. Done. Bye. Apparently this is what happened to a family in a Missouri home, when they discovered their house was infested with brown recluse spiders. The house was covered and sprayed with a poisonous gas and went into foreclosure. We dare you to Google image search “brown recluse spider� right now and not get the heebie-jeebies.

There is nothing fun or good about receiving campus Public Safety Crime Alerts via text or email because they always inform us of some scary incident on campus that any of us easily could have been victims of. So when we received two alerts this weekend, we students were very disconcerted. There were two attempted sexual assaults that happened at the 309 Green apartments early Saturday morning, and four incidences of mob action, battery and strong armed robbery that occurred on the same night. When incidences like this are reported, it reminds us that crime really does happen on campus and that sometimes our seemingly safe campus bubble can be popped.

Don’t race to cultural conclusions EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist

M

artin Luther King Jr. may have had a dream, but Raven-SymonĂŠ has a vision. The child star, who rose to fame from roles in “The Cosby Showâ€? and “That’s So Raven,â€? has recently come out in an interview with Oprah saying that she doesn’t identify as African-American. She said that she doesn’t wish to be labeled as African-American because her roots that she’s aware of come from Louisiana. People everywhere were complaining about her stance, taking it as her disaffiliating from her race. I believe that they’ve misunderstood, and I stand by what Raven-SymonĂŠ said. Before writing me off, know that I understand that I’m white. But more importantly, I’m an American, just like Raven-SymonĂŠ, and just like many of you. This isn’t a conversation that should be limited to people who identify as African-American. It is way bigger than that narrow scope. It pertains to anyone who has any ounce of Americanism in their veins. If you were born and raised in America, you can trace

back your heritage to another country, unless you’re entirely Native American. America is a melting pot. We’re a combination of cultures that created something new. Whatever we are today is a mixture of Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Americas and probably even Antarctica (we have penguins in zoos, right?). Parts of traditions from other countries are incorporated into what are now considered American traditions. It’s nearly impossible to identify what all of the roots of various American customs are. Some hymns sung in Sunday church, such as “Just a Closer Walk with Thee,� might have originated from songs created by AfricanAmerican immigrants. You might go to Chipotle, Zorba’s or Panda Express for dinner, and at some point, long, long ago, aspects of those cuisines were authentically foreign. All of my ancestors came from somewhere in Europe — France and Germany, mostly. Yet, when someone asks me what my ethnicity is, I say I’m American. Look at the way that your heritage and familial history, if

you can trace it, has influenced your upbringing. I’m not talking about skin color, but, rather, how African, Hispanic, Asian or European ancestors may have shaped your life. If I practiced French and German traditions or if I was a first or second-generation immigrant, I think I would be closer to earning the title of French- or German-American. But I’m not. European, African, Asian and other identifiers ascribed to people who have lived Americanized lifestyles are often far removed from the people who claim them. Those who were born and raised here are all American, but there aren’t always extreme infusions of our heritage in our current lifestyles. I don’t choose to see my identification as American as a loss of culture from my French and German roots; I see it as a creation and celebration of new culture that we are all a part of. Yet we still seem to be so divided. Many people in this country talk about the differences between races. We complain that racism is still omnipresent today. And I’m not here to say if it is or is not, but if we

There aren’t always extreme infusions of our heritage in our current lifestyles.

want to start relieving the focus of race, then we need to stop placing distinguishers on what “kindâ€? of American you are — whether we are African-American, Asian-American, etcetera. Raven-SymonĂŠ didn’t say she isn’t black; she said she is American. She doesn’t take credit for an African culture that has little impact on the way she identifies herself. What Raven-SymonĂŠ is saying is a deeper message about what it means to be equal. If you ask me, she carried over some of Raven Baxter’s fortune telling from “That’s So Ravenâ€? — she sees a world where labels don’t exist and you don’t have to say what type of American you are to be a part of the culture. There’s not one specific type of American, and labeling someone with a prefix that they aren’t always culturally in touch with — no matter the skin color — is something that perpetuates differences that we’ve been trying to abolish for decades. We should all think more like Raven-SymonĂŠ and start recognizing our country and citizens as the creation of a shared culture. Americans should see each other as equal, and the way we label ourselves should reflect that.

Opposition to comprehensive sex ed is misguided BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist

S

ex education is, and probably always will be, a contentious issue across the United States. The tight-rope thin border between education and over-informing is a difficult line to walk, and in some cases, it seems like the vocal minority, clouded by personal morals or misunderstandings, overshadows the rational majority. Unfortunately, this week was no exception. Recently, some parents in a Las Vegas school district expressed concern over the district’s new sex education policy, which had an emphasis on scientific anatomy and was compliant with guidelines set out by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States — a group that has been developing curricula for sexual education for 50 years. The program, which aimed to prepare teachers for anatomical sex education starting in kindergarten, prompted boisterous backlash from parents at a school board meeting that was so intense it caused the school district and superintendent to backpedal, canceling the new sex education policy entirely. According to the outraged parents, the bulk of concerns

with this now-defunct program came from issues surrounding how the district would emphasize the safety and plausibility of abortions and acknowledge sexual assault and different sexual orientations. The parents who opposed the sex education class for these reasons are blatantly misguided. To the parent who was outraged that the program was teaching students that abortion is safe: To tell a student that an abortion is safe is not manipulative or evil; rather, it is factual. A patient is actually 40 times more likely to die from a colonoscopy, a procedure common for many in America, than to die from an abortion. Giving these facts to students is not corrupting youth, but rather presenting scientific information to counter the biased views from any side. Similarly, there are people who identify as gay — it is a fact, and it is neither absurd nor weird. I would hope that sexual education would not only acknowledge the existence of other forms of human sexuality, but would also teach our students that it’s not strange to identify as gay. Other parents expressed concern about teaching children about sexual assault. Sexual assault happens in the real world. Including information about sexual assault in sex education is something that would make students more knowl-

edgeable on the topic and, thus, more able to identify assault when it happens. I fail to see how informing students of the dangers of sexual assault could be a bad thing, especially at a time when it is more prevalent than ever. Just a few weeks ago, it was released in the Chicago Tribune that the University paid more than $77,000 in settlement to a student who felt the administration had minimized her sexual assault case in 2011. While I’m not saying this could have been prevented if education on the issue were mandatory for all young American students, sexual assault certainly is a problem that needs to be addressed. The more we know, the better prepared we are to understand our surroundings, which is especially important on a college campus where sexual assault and harassment is a large problem, and where exposure to various sexual orientations and discussions of abortion happen. Awareness starts to grow at a very early age, and, thus, starting sex education early is not a problem as long as it is done appropriately, as it would have been done in Nevada. What is so worrisome about the Clark County School Board’s decision is that the cries of a few loud parents overpowered the voice of logical rationality. Knowledge is power, and the more we teach our students about their own

bodies, the more power they will have to control their own bodies. This doesn’t only apply with grade school level students, as we have seen in Nevada, but can also be applied to any other age-group, including college students. The Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States is not an evil organization. It’s not trying to corrupt the young. The parents who oppose comprehensive and anatomic sex education for children are either living in a dream world where sexual problems don’t exist, and thus need not be addressed, or they’re very far off-base. Unfortunately, I’m afraid it’s the latter. The real world is a scary place, especially on a large college campus like ours. I woke up this past weekend to multiple crime alerts about sexual assaults — they’re far too common. I’m not saying that preaching to the population through sex education is going to be a cure-all for these problems, especially when it comes to sexual assault, but I am saying that eliminating crucial facts that should be part of sex education is definitely not the right way to combat any problems we as a society face in that realm.

DARKNESS period,” Joann Sutherland said. “She shared her story with everyone else, not only to help herself, but to help the society as a whole. We’re very proud of her.” Through AFSP, Sutherland found a way to use her hurtful past as a medicine for others. “AFSP gave me a purpose. I found this walk and immediately felt like it was something I had to do,” said Sutherland. “It feels good knowing that if I can help one person, (going through that) was all worth it. Putting a face to a statistic means a lot more.” Cummings said being able to recognize the signs of depression and determine that it’s not just a sad feeling is necessary if people are to get the help they need. Some signs include intense anxiety, panic attacks, desperation, hopelessness, feeling that one is a burden, loss of interest and pleasure and delusional thinking, she said.

100 YEARS 2012, he went to India to take part in one of the 10 celebrations and ceremonies held for him in the United States and India. Some of his former students were in attendance, and they warmly welcomed him and were in awe by his presence on such a milestone. “The love and respect they gave me was overwhelming,” Kukreti said. “I couldn’t even recognize some of them but they recognized me. I didn’t think much about my birthday, but when it was celebrated 10 times, I thought, it is a milestone.” Kukreti’s status as a centenarian has also been recognized by President Barack Obama, who has sent birthday letters to him each year since his 100th birthday. In regards to Kukreti’s longevity, he said he goes by the principle of the “Three F’s” to promote good mental and physical health: good family, good friends and good food.

When Sutherland finally felt brave enough to get the help she needed, her entire life turned around. “Seeking help is the most important because we can actually prevent this from happening. You can’t do it all by yourself,” Sutherland said. For those who need support, Cummings recommends a number of options. In emergency situation, she said to contact the Suicide Prevention Hotline, a psychiatric hospital walk-in clinic or a hospital emergency room. On campus, students should seek the Counseling Center or Health Center. But Sutherland explains that the most important way a person can improve lies within herself. “It takes time,” said Sutherland. “We can’t control the way we feel, but we can always control our thoughts. It never really truly goes away, but it gets better. It’s about having your good days and bad days. If you have one bad day, who knows how tomorrow will be? You can’t expect your-

self to be happy all the time. You have to have realistic expectations for yourself, and you have to accept that sometimes you just want to be sad, and that’s okay.” Although the walk is now over, Cummings said that it still isn’t too late to get involved with AFSP’s cause. Donations will be accepted for Champaign-Urbana’s walk until January 2015. Although the attendees at the walk all had their own stories, lessons and reasons for attending, each walked with a newfound confidence behind each stride. “Today, I walk for my mom and my dad, who saved my life. Today, I walk for my best friend, Michelle, who saw me at my worst and never left my side. Today, I walk to erase the stigma of depression and mental illness. Today, I walk for myself to prove that you are not defined by a mental illness or society’s perceptions,” Sutherland said. “But most importantly, I walk to save lives.”

“For good health, the prescription is exercise, doing things in moderation, being satisfied with what you have, being happy and thanking God for whatever he has given you,” he said. Kukreti has a task on his to-do list that he’d like to complete at some point in the future. “I want to help residents of the village where I was born, which I didn’t do yet,” Kukreti said. “I visited my place of birth at the age of 67. The condition of the village was almost the same as when I first left so I want to help if I can.” Kukreti not only brought his appreciation for friendship and culture to the U.S., but also shared his beliefs and the wisdom he has gathered over the years with his children. Mukesh Kukreti said there is a saying that the family likes to live by: “Don’t do anything just because you’ll be awarded for it,” he said. “There is a quote in the Gita that says, ‘Do thy duty;

reward is not thy concern.’” Umesh Kukreti, his other son, said the most important lesson his father ever taught him was the value of honesty. “My father has heard every excuse in the world,” he said. “You can give him any excuse, but it’s not going to work. The truth is bitter but it’s better. Always be honest.” Kukreti wrote a memoir that was published on his 100th birthday, “My memoir, by Dr. J. Kukreti,” and is currently writing another book about life after 100 called, “Crossing the Century: Life after 100.” With all the hard work Kukreti has put in throughout his life and the experiences he’s had, there is one particular lesson he likes to give. “Whatever you do, take full interest in the job, and have faith in God,” he said. “During my life, I had ups and downs — in everybody’s life it will be like that. ... Ultimately, you will get through.”

Students can now avoid the long lines at restaurants like Chipotle, Dunkin’ Donuts and Panda Express by having orders delivered right to their doorstep through the new food delivery app, Crunchbutton. Crunchbutton allows University students to have orders catered from campus restaurants that do not already have delivery services. Currently, the free app has ten restaurants available for students to order from, including Chipotle, Panera, Panda Express, Subway, Starbucks, McDonalds, Dunkin’ Donuts, Cravings, Jersey Mike’s and Wendy’s. But Jacob Lubben, marketing manager for Crunchbutton and senior in LAS and Business, said Crunchbutton is always looking to expand its list of restaurants. “Kofusion, Chili’s, restaurants off campus, ... We’re open to suggestions,” he said of possible future restaurants for the app. “Students of the University can have as much of a say in what restaurants they want to see on Crunchbutton. For now, we are waiting for everyone to get a sense of it and hear about it.” Abby Butler, marketing intern for Crunchbutton and junior in LAS, said the process is easy and fast for students to use. She said all students need to do is fill in their address, payment information, click on a restaurant, scroll through the menu and press order. Butler also said the idea behind the app is something many University students

Crunchbutton app reinvents food delivery on campus Lubben said it is important for people to remember the service is run all by students. Crunchbutton hires student drivers to cater all orders made through the app. “It’s your friends that are delivering food to you,” he said. Janjay Knowlden, delivery driver for Crunchbutton and sophomore in FAA, said the game day commotion and nightlife presence at the University are what keep the app going. “People are going to want food even more when it can be brought right to their doorstep,” Knowlden said. “My boss, Jake Lubben, described it as a FedEx for food. That describes it perfectly. We are just the delivery middlemen.” Knowlden said his first day on the job consisted of 15 Chipotle orders with a line starting from outside the restaurant. “Now I live out by the Champaign Walmart, which allowed me to know of another Chipotle with literally no line. Makes my day a lot easier,” he said. Students can save their credit card information in Crunchbutton for each order or pay in cash. A $3 delivery fee is added to every order placed on Crunchbutton. Lubben said the app currently receives anywhere from eight to 20 orders a day. “Right now we have a small but committed fan base,” Lubben said. “Customers are happy with Crunchbutton. Everyone enjoys the service.”

have talked about. “People are always checking Yik Yak to see how long the line at Chipotle is,” Butler said. “Now if you don’t want to wait in line, or you live far away in senior land or you’re too busy studying, you can just have delivery service for restaurants that don’t offer delivery service already.” Lubben also said the app will be helpful for the upcoming season change. “Especially with winter coming, we can help you,” he said. “It can be a struggle if you’re far away from Green Street, and we go anywhere on campus. Just put in your address, payment information and click your favorite order. Could be as simple as five seconds to order.” Lubben explained that the app was originally created at Yale by co-founders Judd Rosenblatt, David Klumpp and Devin Smith. The inspiration for the app came about when students at Yale wanted one of the favorite foods available at the University, the Wenzel, delivered to their residences, but the restaurant didn’t offer delivery services. It was then that Rosenblatt, Klumpp and Smith came up with the initial idea. After Crunchbutton became successful at Yale, it expanded to other campuses. Crunchbutton is now available at about 10 to 15 campuses including Ohio State, UCLA, Iowa State and more. The app became available to the University in September and is available to both iPhone and Android users. The app’s website also provides the same services the app does.

Out of the Darkness Walk gives hope for dealing with depression BY SARAH FOSTER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Melissa Sutherland’s eyes shifted between a sea of faces and a folded sheet of white paper. She stood on the plank of a park bench in Crystal Lake Park and twisted blue and green beads between her fingers. She continued to look at the crowd. Some of these faces she recognized. Her parents, closest friends and Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity members made up a portion. Though she never knew the rest, they would soon be hearing one of the darkest parts of her past. She took a deep breath. She didn’t care. It was time to bring her story out of the darkness. “A few short months ago, I went through a stage in my life so bad that I thought suicide was the only way out,� Sutherland began. Sutherland, currently a graduate student in Business, read from the folded sheet of paper to the attendees of ChampaignUrbana’s annual Out of the Darkness Walk, sponsored by

the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) at Crystal Lake Park in Champaign. Sutherland was the top fundraiser for the ChampaignUrbana walk, raising $1,735 as part of the $11,784.26 total. A total of 95 people participated in this year’s walk, which began at 11 a.m. Sutherland’s speech at the event was about her recent diagnosis of major depressive disorder and general anxiety and her struggle to deal with her illness. But most importantly, Sutherland stood above the crowd — whose members most likely have been affected by depression and suicide in some way — to remind them of something they don’t often see. “I used to think that depression made me weak, but with the help of this walk, I know it has made me strong,� Sutherland said. “You can come out of something really terrible on the other side. It is possible.� Applause erupted. Members of the audience wiped their eyes. Sutherland knew she had

done her job. But looking back on her journey, Sutherland said finding the courage to stand up on that park bench was far from easy. “Depression is something people don’t talk about,� Sutherland said. “We treat it like it’s hidden away in the shadows. People are embarrassed. The only time things like suicide are really glamorized are when it happens. People don’t talk about people overcoming (it).� According to Angela Cummings, associate area director of AFSP, society’s lack of understanding of depression as an illness leads to a negative stigma. “Many of us grow up with the belief that people who take their own lives are crazy, selfish or have some kind of a moral defect,� Cummings said. “As they understand that suicidal thinking and behavior is the result of a treatable medical condition, people become less fearful and more able to listen to a person in distress with empathy and without judgment.�

That’s when Sutherland knew what she had to do. “(I wanted) something positive to come out of what I had to go through,� Sutherland said. “I was embarrassed. I was ashamed. I didn’t want to have that label on me. But I finally decided that we need to start talking about it and having a conversation about things like this, so people aren’t afraid to tell their story.� She began to research ways she could use her story to help others. Along the way, she discovered AFSP and the annual walk they sponsor. AFSP seeks to reduce suicide and suicide attempts by developing approaches to suicide prevention, like education and prevention programs for teens and young adults, community programs and programs for educators and mental health professionals.

Former UI professor celebrates 102nd birthday BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Janardan Kukreti has more than a century’s worth of life experiences under his wing. On Saturday, Kukreti, former University professor of veterinary medicine, and his friends and family members gathered to celebrate a major milestone in his life: his 102nd birthday. Forty guests arrived in the morning for a traditional Hindu puja ceremony in the home of Kukreti’s son, Mukesh. During the ceremony, a priest called on the ancestors and asked for their blessings.

The night concluded with a ceremony at the Urbana Plaza Hotel during which Kukreti was recognized and honored by his guests and relatives. Kukreti was born in a small village in Uttar Pradesh, India, on Oct. 11, 1912. The village was simple and lacked modern amenities, such as gas and electricity. He earned a degree in science and math from the University of Allahabad in India in 1934. Kukreti said the university was an important location during Gandhi’s non-violence movement; he

had the opportunity to witness speeches from prominent politicians who believed in Gandhi’s principles. “I also attended Gandhi’s prayers a few times,� he said. “When Gandhi spoke, the whole world listened.� In 1960, Kukreti was selected by a technical corporate mission program to attend the University of Illinois and he earned his master’s degree in veterinary medicine in 1962. He then went back to India and taught at Mathura Veterinary College. In 1968, Kukreti received an offer from the University for a two year

teaching job in the College of Veterinary Medicine. “There in India, I had a permanent job, and here I would have a temporary job,� Kukreti said. “I had to think whether to go or not to go. But I thought, ‘No risk, no gain.’� After he began working at the University, his temporary job turned into a permanent job, and he brought his family to the United States a few years later. Kukreti taught at the University for 18 years before retiring in 1986. Kukreti continues to live in Champaign in the home of his son, Mukesh, and said he

is content being in the company of his family members. He has five children, eight grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren, all of which reside in the U.S. except for his eldest daughter, who lives in India. “All my children and grandchildren take good care of me,� he said. When Kukreti made the move from India to the U.S., he carried on principles like family values, an appreciation for strong friendships and a love for Indian and Hindu traditions with him. “Wherever you are living,

you should have your culture,� Kukreti said. Though he said he misses the family and cultural celebrations he left behind in India, he also appreciates the American lifestyle and the ability to implement Indian culture. “Because I spent 55 years in India and the rest here, I enjoyed the best of both worlds.� Kukreti is fully aware that his age prompts incredulity from others.

Illini fall 38-28 to UW Third Big Ten loss for Illini against strong Badgers offense BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

MADISON, WISC. — Wisconsin did what everyone expected it to do. The Badgers ran their way to a 38-28 win over Illinois, rushing for a total of 401 yards. Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon found holes in the Illini defense, running for four touchdowns on 175 yards. The junior broke 1,000 yards rushing on the year Saturday — his second season doing so in a row. Sophomore running back Corey Clement also added 164 rushing yards and a touchdown. “We have to tackle better,� head coach Tim Beckman said. “Everybody can see that.� Illinois (3-4, 0-3 Big Ten) was tied with the Badgers (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) nearing the

Kevin Hambly isn’t one to overstate things. So even after the No. 15 Illinois volleyball team beat No. 5 Penn State in University Park, Pa., the Illinois volleyball head coach seemed calm and collected, treating the win like any other. “It’s a good win and we played volleyball the way we need to play volleyball,� Hambly said. “We don’t need to make more of it than what it was.� Illinois won in four sets by scores of 26-24, 16-25, 25-23 and 25-22, giving defending national champion Penn State its third loss of the year. “It feels the same as when we beat Rutgers or when we beat Maryland or when we beat Washington State,� Hambly said. The Illini started the match in a 5-1 rotation system rather than their normal 6-2. The switch worked and the Illini got off to a fast start offensively. Illinois finished the first set with a .500 hitting percentage, only one error and continued that offensive production into the second set. The Illini were shut down by the Nittany Lions and senior setter Micha Hancock’s serve.

Illinois alumna Tatyana McFadden wins the women’s wheelchair division of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Oct. 13, 2013. McFadden once again won the Chicago Marathon, her fourth straight in the event.

Former Illini sweep Chicago Marathon

McFadden wins 7th major maration BY WILL SMALL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Just weeks after the United States Olympic Committee announced the University would be designated as a U.S. Paralympic training site, Illini wheelchair athletes proved once again why they are considered some of the best in the nation at Sunday’s Chicago Marathon. University graduate Tat ya na McFadden continued her dominance in the wheelchair division Sunday, winning her fo u r t h c o n s e c u t ive Chicago Marathon and her fi fth overall. The win was McFadden’s seventh consecutive major marathon victory (majors being the Boston, London, Chicago and New York marathons).

Last year McFadden became the fi rst person, disabled or otherwise, to win all four major marathons in the same year. She will go for her second consecutive sweep at the New York Marathon on Nov. 2. In April, she won both the Boston and London Marathons, while setting a new course record in London. Another former Illini who had a strong fi nish in Chicago was Amanda McGrory, a 2010 Illinois graduate. She finished third, just one minute behind McFadden. On the men’s side Joshua George, a 2007 University graduate, won the men’s wheelchair division. The Illinois wheelchair racing team has a rich history of notable alumni including eight-time Boston Marathon winner Jean Driscoll.

ou have to give credit where credit is due. Illinois hung in this one longer than anyone expected. The Illini led Wisconsin after the first quarter Saturday and the game was tied until the 2:14 mark of the second quarter. But Illinois benefited from starting a pair of scoring possessions in Badger territory. And as expected, the Badgers running game wore the Illinois defense down. Like Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah and Purdue’s Akeem Hunt in weeks previous, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon was impressive against the Illinois defense. Gordon rushed for 146 yards in the first half to give Wisconsin a 24-14 advantage at the break. Four Badgers had runs of more than 20 yards and both Gordon and running mate Corey Clement fi nished the game with 164 yards on the ground.

It doesn’t matter who’s at quarterback for the Illini because the defense can’t stop an opposing running back or apparently an opposing backup running back. Starter Reilly O’Toole wasn’t bad for Illinois in this game. Both touchdown drives O’Toole led were the ones starting in Wisconsin territory, including one that started at the 31-yard line. O’Toole fi nished the game 12-for-19 passing for 96 yards and two touchdowns — not thrilling numbers, but he passed the eye test better than he ever has against a Big Ten opponent. He didn’t turn the ball over once. The biggest problem in his career has been turnovers, and on a day when he didn’t turn it over, his team stayed competitive, at least for a while.

We saw Aaron Bailey for the fi rst time this year late in the second half and he sure looked good. Yes, it was garbage time, but the sophomore rushed for more yards on seven carries during his first possession than running back Josh Ferguson had all day. Beckman made the right call burning Bailey’s redshirt and getting him some playing time with Wes Lunt injured. The Illini scored touchdowns on two Bailey-led possessions and pulled Illinois within 10 — making those garbage minutes a little bit more serious. But it was too little, too late. One wonders what this game might have been like if Bailey played all four quarters. An Illinois win? Doubtful. It might have made things interesting, though. There are more positives to take away from this

One wonders what this game might have been like if Bailey played all four quarters.

game than the loss to Purdue a week ago. It still says a lot about the state of your football program when fans are celebrating on social media because you hung with Wisconsin for half a game. What does Illinois do from here? The positive signs in Madison come just two weeks before a game against a beatable opponent at home. I’m not expecting a win over Minnesota, even with a bye next week. To say you’d expect Illinois to win any games from here on out is a too strong of verbiage. If you thought Illinois could beat Wisconsin, you were fooling yourself. If you think Illinois can beat Minnesota, you’re not wrong. I say Beckman should start Bailey. He looked good when he was in there Saturday and at this point Illinois has nothing to lose.

Bill Cubit’s son, Illini coach arrested; charged with DUI, failure to obey traffic laws BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

Illinois’ director of football student-athlete development Ryan Cubit was arrested early Sunday morning for driving under the influence. Cubit is the son of Illinois offensive coordinator Bill Cubit.

Ryan, 32, was brought to the Champaign County jail at 2:16 a.m. after being arrested by Illinois State Police and was charged with a DUI and disobeying traffic laws. He was released around 4 a.m. after paying 10 percent of a $3,000 bond. Head coach Tim Beckman and the Illinois athletic

administration were aware of the situation, but did not immediately provide comment. Cubit is in his first season with the Illini after being hired in the spring. He came to Illinois after five seasons with his father’s former team, Western Michigan, as its co-offensive coordinator.

He graduated from Western Michigan, where he led the team as a quarterback to its first bowl game in nearly 20 years, the 2007 International Bowl.

Illini lose momentum, game BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

MADISON, WISC. — It was a fourth and two situation that players and coaches said shifted the momentum. And it was momentum that Illinois would fail to regain in a 38-28 loss at Wisconsin. With less than three minutes to go in the second quarter, the Illini decided to go for it on fourth down on Wisconsin’s 36 -yard line. The Illini failed to convert on a Josh Ferguson run and the Badgers would go on to score 31 unanswered points. “ That fourth down turned the whole game around, switched the momentum,” quarterback Reilly O’Toole said. “We needed to convert on that. I mean, I should have pulled the ball. And Josh just kind of got hit in the backfield. It was on me. It’s unfortunate, it’s a big play in the game. You can’t have those mistakes.” While O’Toole carried the team in the first quarter, briefly giving the Illini the lead, that play saw the end of O’Toole’s success. He was sacked four times, throwing 12-for19 for 96 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Aaron Bailey was called into the game in the fourth and rushed for a

first down on his first play of the season. Bailey went 2-for-5 passing with one interception and 39 passing yards. He led the Ilini in rushing with 75 yards on 12 carries and one touchdown, all in the fourth quarter. “There were no butterflies or anything,” Bailey said on his first time playing this year. “More tired than anything, think I need to get on the treadmill or something.” While both quarterbacks played, coaches failed to clarify who would be starting in the coming weeks, even highlighting the possibility of a dual quarterback system. Head coach Tim Beckman stressed that Bailey would be ready to start, but there will still be competition during practices. “Really, I thought both of them played good,” Beckman said. “But again we didn’t win the football game so it’s not good enough.” Illinois’ offensive line struggled, allowing Wisconsin’s defense a seasonhigh six sacks. For the most part, the Illinois defense contained Wisconsin’s Big Ten-leading rushing attack in the first quarter. But the defense would struggle to stop the run throughout the rest of the game, allowing 401 rushing yards on the

Illini will face 5 top-50 teams BY LAUREN MROZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Illinois men’s golf team enters the home stretch of its fall season Monday at the two-day Sagamore Fall Preview. Hosted by Ball State, the 54-hole tournament will take place on a Jack Nicklaus-designed, par72 course at The Sagamore Club in Noblesville, Ind. The top-ranked Illini headline a 14-team field, consisting of five of the nation’s top-50 teams, including No. 8 Auburn. After a three-week break, the Illini return to competition with the same lineup that captured first place at the Wolf Run Invitational on Sept. 20-21. The lineup includes senior Brian Campbell, juniors Charlie Danielson and Thomas Detry, and freshmen Nick Hardy and Dylan Meyer. “I think the guys are chomping at the bit to get out and play (in a tournament),” head coach Mike Small said in a news release. “The best way we can compete against this field is to go play the golf course and go play our game, and to go play solid golf.” The Illini look to pick up where they left off after winning the first two tournaments of their fall schedule, which led to the team’s first No. 1 ranking in school history from the Golf Coaches Association of America. Although they strive to keep the No. 1 ranking after this stretch, the Illini are only concerned with being the best at the end of the season. “It’s not really important now,” Danielson said of the top ranking. “It’s more important to go win these two events we have left and show the whole country that we come to play. The ranking will take care of itself.” According to Small, it was important to play the Sagamore Fall Preview because it will give the players an early look at the course, which will host a 2015 NCAA Regional. “You never know how that will turn out,” Small said. “But you have a one-in-six shot of going there. Plus, it’s close to home and it’s a good golf course that’s penal in a lot of areas. It’s got a lot of water and some tricky holes. It’s going to be good for us to see that.” Play begins with 36 holes at a 9 a.m. shotgun start Monday, followed by a final 18-hole round Tuesday.

Junior outside hitter Jocelynn Birks and senior opposite side hitter Liz McMahon led the Illini offensively with 19 and 17 kills, respectively. Although she didn’t tally the most kills, sophomore outside hitter Katie Roustio came in and made a huge impact on the match. Roustio replaced senior outside hitter Morganne Criswell, who Hambly said wasn’t playing as aggressively as he would have liked, and excelled against the Nittany Lions to the tune of a career-high 11 kills. “I put Roustio in there and told her to be super-aggressive and she was,” Hambly said. “It was what I expected her to do and she lived up to my expectations.” Illinois’ win Saturday was only the third home loss since the 2011-2012 season for Penn State. While Hambly didn’t want to make too much of the win, he did acknowledge how challenging it is to win both on the road and in the Big Ten. “All wins are tough in the Big Ten and wins are really tough on the road,” Hambly said. “So to get one on the road is a big deal and they’re a very good team. To go into that place and win, it doesn’t happen very often.”

Men’s golf aims for 3rd victory

playoff to move onto the ALDS. In the ALDS they fell to the Tampa Bay Rays and were eliminated. The White Sox are my favorite sports team and that has mostly led to disappointment, despite one magical season in 2005. The Bears went to the Super Bowl in 2006. I watched it at a friend’s house and exclaimed after Devin Hester’s opening kickoff return for a touchdown “OH MY GOD GUYS THE BEARS ARE GOING TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL!” The Bears did not win the Super Bowl and have been no more than a slightly above average team since then. The Bulls aren’t bad, but without a healthy Derrick Rose, (which at this point seems impossible), they aren’t legit NBA championship contenders. As much as I appreciate watching hard-nosed regular season defense, when it comes to the playoffs, a Bull’s squad without Rose

is nearly unwatchable. Finally, we turn to college sports. Oh, Illini athletics, how you enrage me. Illinois football is the worst team in the Big Ten this season, and the Illini’s arrow is pointing way down. The only hope I can find is Illinois Basketball. It looks like it will be pretty good this season, but knowing how teams I root for typically perform, John Groce’s team will probably disappoint. Some of my lowest emotional moments in life have been because of sports. I was an Illinois State Redbirds basketball fan when I attended ISU my freshman year. I shed more than a few tears on the bus ride home from St. Louis after Doug McDermott and Creighton took down the Redbirds in overtime during the Missouri Valley Conference championship game. It took me weeks to

get over Jim Thome hitting a walk-off home run against the White Sox back in 2010. Oftentimes, I feel jealous of Owen and Amanda in the coffee shop. They don’t care at all whether or not the White Sox, Bears, Bulls, or Illini win. They spend their lives worrying about other stuff, like when The Decemberists’ next album will come out. While I am jealous of non-sports fans, I also would never trade in my sports fandom for anything else. I was born and raised a sports fan. Sports are the root of much of my disappointment, but they have also brought me some of my greatest joys. For that reason, I love sports.

Illini soccer buried by Gophers in overtime Rain, slick conditions contribute to 2-1 loss BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

Playing in front of what may have been its loudest home crowd of the season, the Illini suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Minnesota in a double overtime Big Ten thriller on Sunday. The first half was a defensive affair, keeping the match scoreless and relatively uneventful through the first 45 minutes. The weather became a factor in between halves, however, and the players were greeted with a steady, chilling rain when they returned to the field. “When the rain started coming, it made it a little harder to keep the ball because it was skipping and sliding and bouncing,� senior forward Jannelle Flaws said. “So it changed a little, but both teams were dealing with the same conditions.� Five minutes into the cold and wet second half, Minnesota midfielder Josee
