Rumors of Green Street Chipotle closing untrue

BY CHANDRESH NANDANI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Green Street location of the widely popular Mexican food chain Chipotle is not closing, despite rumors perpetuated on the mobile app Yik Yak. Yik Yak is an anonymous geolocationbased app that allows users in the area to post â&#x20AC;&#x153;yaks,â&#x20AC;? or short blurbs. The content can be upvoted to become more visible.

Last week, an upvoted post claimed that Chipotle was closing due to a new owner buying the location and raising the price of rent to a point where Chipotle could not pay it.

There were multiple follow-up yaks and even yaks that were supposedly from employees confirming the shutdown.

However, Chipotle Service Manager Steve Hardyman said the store is not in fact closing and is â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing just fine.â&#x20AC;? He said they are constantly working on improving the quality of the food and service they provide.

Rice Garden closes in Illini Union Union staff reviews student survey preferences to determine what vendor will come next

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

When the Illini Union distributes its annual campus-wide survey, it’s important that students take it, and take it seriously — because Illini Union staff will listen.

On May 18, Rice Garden, a restaurant located in the Union’s food court, closed as its contract with the University expired on May 31.

When the Illini Union surveyed students this year to determine what restaurants they would be most interested in having on campus, Rice Garden was not chosen, said Lori Holmes, manager of vendor contracts for the Illini Union.

Holmes said the Union did not choose to negotiate another contract with the restaurant, rather choosing to look for another restaurant better meeting students’ preferences and needs.

Holmes explained that the annual survey of the student body helps to assist with identifying, evaluating and contracting with popular concepts or vendors.

“This survey serves as a tool to identify those concepts or vendors that the student body would most like to see in the Illini Union,” Holmes said in an e-mail. “Concepts or vendors are ranked and the Illini Union

speaks to each vendor in the order of student preference to determine individual interest in operating in the Illini Union.”

Holmes also added that Rice Garden only ranked in the middle of the list of studentdesired vendors this year, leading to the closure of the restaurant.

With a yelp.com score of one and a half stars, local foodies seem to agree with the student body’s opinions on the Chinese restaurant.

“Food is bland, chewy, and lukewarm. Staff unfriendly and only want to get you out of their hair. This is across three different experiences. I thought I’d give it a third chance because of its convenient location. I won’t give it a fourth,” said reviewer, Brett J., on yelp.com.

However, another reviewer did give it three stars, noting that he sometimes prefers Rice Garden’s flavor to Panda Express, which is located nearby.

Although Rice Garden was not best suited to the student body’s needs and preferences, Holmes said there is good news for students and the Illini Union.

“Vendors that ranked higher on the student list than Rice Garden have elected to come to the Illini Union,” Holmes said. “We

Due to the results of a student survey, the University has chosen to not renew its vending contract with Rice Garden in the Illini Union Food Court. are currently in the process of negotiating contracts with two new exciting vendors for the Illini Union.”

Due to current contract negotiations, Holmes said the names of these two vendors can-

not be released until the contracts are completed and signed by both parties.

LAS bids farewell to Senior Assistant Dean

Described as notable and memorable, Penelope Soskin retires from her 15-years at the University

BY CHANDRESH NANDANI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Penelope Soskin, director of LAS honors programs and senior assistant dean in the College of LAS, retired Friday, June 27, marking the end of her 15-year tenure as director, which began in 1999.

Before her retirement party during spring semester finals, students were asked if they would like to sign a large mat to be presented to Soskin; however, it was instantly clear that one mat was not going to be enough.

Students wrote paragraphs upon paragraphs thanking Soskin for all she has done. Ultimately, it took two mats and a journal to accommodate every student.

Margaret O’Connor, an alumna of the

University, said Soskin is notable for her personal touches and the amazing support system she provides for every student.

Soskin is memorable for a range of personal touches, from her “lucky finals pencils” to tickets for shows at Krannert to knowing the name of almost every student in the James Scholar Honors Program, said Allison Branson, office support specialist to the Honors Office.

Soskin is notable for her work in ensuring the James Scholar Program runs effectively and efficiently. Throughout her career as assistant dean, she largely focused on getting students to see past just the University into the larger Champaign-Urbana community.

Associate Director Kirsten Bartels will be taking over for Soskin. Bartels said she

will continue many of the initiatives that Soskin started while looking for additional ways to make the LAS Honors Program best serve the students and establish a sense of community within the program.

Ultimately, Soskin said she is appreciative of all the students who allowed her to be in this position and left them a final piece of advice.

“It is very important to have a world view, and the world view should be to appreciate and understand those who are different from us,” Soskin said. “We aren’t all going to be the same but it is important that we reach out and just be kind to other people.”

Champaign Public Library stuck in debt

The library continues its battle with debt, looking for new strategies to help reduce expenditures

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

As the Champaign Public Library continues to battle its long-standing struggle with debt, they face the new fiscal year with $277,000 dollars from Champaign City Council — still leaving them $300,000 short of what is needed.

When the recession hit and eroded the value of the dollar, property tax assessments went down, along with the amount of money that was going to the library, as 92 percent of library revenue comes from property taxes.

“So when those (property taxes) start dropping, all of our other costs never drop, they just continue to rise,” said Library Director Marsha Grove.

The city is responsible for keeping track of property taxes, but it receives less than 25 percent of what’s collected, since there are a number of different taxing bodies that draw from the dollar, such as the Champaign Park District and Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District.

“The City of Champaign does not operate largely on property taxes,” said Michael LaDue, a member of the Champaign Public Library Board of Trustees and a Champaign

City Council member. “It’s just a little sliver to us — for the library it’s everything.”

Champaign City Council is also responsible for funding other operations within the city beyond the library so there are a lot of competing priorities for limited resources.

“Unfortunately, the city of Champaign runs a number of different operations from its general fund that include public safety,” LaDue said. “And our public safety budgets were cut because of the recession of 2008.

And we’ve been endeavoring to restore the public safety budgets as a priority because, my God, we have serious public safety issues.”

The library has tried several different strategies for reducing expenditures, including leaving positions vacant since 2010, so that beginning this fiscal year, 16 positions in the library will remain unfilled, including the position for assistant director.

“When you have less revenue coming in, you’ve got to make cuts,” Grove said. “Or else you raise the taxes.”

Grove said the tax rate for Champaign Public Library has been at the same rate for 20 years; therefore, reductions must be made in other areas to properly fund the library.

Grove understands that it is possible that the city council will not be able to grant the library the remainder of the money that is needed because “they have their own challenges in the city.”

Library officials considered possibly reducing personnel even more, as 70 percent of the library’s budget goes towards personnel costs.

Library officials are also exploring the option of charging parking fees or charging for meeting room use, the latter of which will likely start sometime in this next budget year.

“It definitely won’t make the same amount of money that we need,” Grove said regarding the proposed parking fees. “Another possibility is leasing out things in the building. We don’t have a lot of expertise in that because we’re librarians, not necessarily landlords, but we’ll be looking at all those possibilities.”

The library will survey all of its cardholders sometime in August or September asking for public input about proposals such as closing early.

But LaDue said closing for a whole day is an option he believes to be the best he’s

heard yet.

“We already had some statistics compiled by the library director that suggested that if you close for one day (a week), you would save about $230,000 (yearly),” he said. “That would be a substantial move towards closing the gap. But of course nobody wants to do that. That fell on deaf ears when I spoke to it. It’s a bitter, bitter pill to swallow, but it’s the only thing anybody’s come up with that actually addresses a big chunk of the shortfall.”

In the midst of the recession and financial struggles, the Champaign Public Library has been recognized as a four star library for its services. LaDue said he wants to preserve that, which is why he would rather cut hours than compromise service levels.

“Run a four-star library six days a week and control the indebtedness, rather than compromising the quality of the library to keep it open seven days,” LaDue said. “We’re one of the 100 best libraries in the United States. Can we afford to keep it that way?

Well, that’s an open question.”

Champaign found to be third fastest-growing city in Illinois

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Champaign is the third fastest-growing city in Illinois, according to a report published by Nerd Wallet finance.

Rankings for the fastest growing cities were determined based on data regarding income growth, employment growth and population growth between 2009 and 2012 from the 2012 U.S. Census American Community Survey 3-year estimate for Illinois.

Median income in Champaign grew by 32.2 percent between those years, employment grew by 1.9 percent and the workingage population grew by 4 percent, according to the report.

Champaign Mayor Don Gerard said this growth can be attributed to how well the city manages its resources.

“The City of Champaign has always had a history of being really fiscally conservative,” he said.

Gerard said during the recession, Champaign made some “very difficult cuts.” But those tough decisions ended up paying off in the end, since the city can now afford appropriate staffing.

“As we transition into when I was elected — and we since have a new city manager — we’ve also put a premium upon creating revenue,” he said. “There’s a basic equation for having a good, healthy economy, and that is:

have a fiscally conservative government that creates revenue to pay for itself.”

Such revenue has been generated through measures such as the passage of a gas tax and a quarter cent sales tax, which have created funds for services such as roads, public safety and the Champaign Public Library.

“We’ve negotiated all of our contracts, we’re putting extra money towards our pensions, extra money towards our roads and our infrastructure is all being built up,” Gerard said. “We’re extraordinarily fortunate to have all of our bills paid.”

Also contributing to the city’s rapid growth are the corporations and establishments that have chosen Champaign as their home. From Kraft, whose Champaign plant is the largest manufacturing plant in their chain, to Yahoo, which is expanding its offices at the University Research Park, such companies have played a major role in creating jobs and revenue for the community.

Yahoo Champaign Site Director Cathy Singer said being in Champaign-Urbana and having a team on campus is great because of the opportunity to interact and work with both students and faculty at the University.

“We cannot stress enough the strength of the student talent pool at Champaign-Urbana,” Singer said. “Yahoo is committed to attracting and retaining the best talent. Being so close to a top computer science and engineering

institution makes that easier.”

While the University provides talent for the company, Yahoo provides employment opportunities for those in the community. About two-thirds of employees at Yahoo Champaign are University graduates. The company offers student internships and also looks to hire University student interns for full-time work.

Hiring interns to become full time workers has been an invaluable asset throughout the Research Park and for the community, since students may decide to stay in Champaign and continue to work for the companies they intern for after graduation.

“The ability to have companies employ interns we found to be the best way to get the students engaged with the company and excited about job opportunities with those companies,” said Research Park Director Laura Frerichs. “Otherwise students don’t generally think about employment opportunities in Champaign-Urbana — they think about this as an educational setting, not necessarily a future location for their jobs.”

Singer said Yahoo employees in Champaign have the advantage of living in a place where they have a good balance between work and life, which isn’t easy to come by in the software and tech industry, but can be found in a town like Champaign-Urbana.

“It’s an ideal opportunity for many who wish to work for a major tech company while

still staying close to family and friends in an affordable, academically oriented town,” she said.

Startup business incubator EnterpriseWorks at the Research Park also plays a role in supporting business and economic growth in the area as it launches early stage tech firms.

“We’re able to not only seed these companies but also retain them in our community,” said Frerichs.

With all the success Champaign has had in recent years, Gerard said it’s important to keep working towards further improvement and growth.

“We’re a model of fiscal responsibility, in a state that’s thought of as anything but,” Gerard said. “I think this is just the start. I think that we’re going to be seeing a lot more.

We’ve had talks about the possibility of making Champaign the hub for high speed rail in the Midwest, which is a very real possibility.”

These developments lend themselves to the reasons Gerard believes Champaign is an attractive environment to live in with potential for immense population and economic growth.

“Luck is when opportunity meets preparation,” Gerard said. “And the city was prepared, the opportunity came, so to the rest of the world we look like the luckiest city in Illinois.”

Champaign County hosted its 65th annual Freedom Celebration, displaying fireworks from Lot E-14 this past weekend.

Champaign County hosts Freedom Celebration Attendees enjoy food, music and fireworks in celebration of the Fourth of July

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

As students on campus and Champaign residents celebrated the Fourth of July, Champaign County hosted its 65th Annual Champaign County Freedom Celebration on Friday.

The Freedom Celebration took place on Kirby Avenue between First and Oak streets.

Activities began at 7 p.m. with a crowd of people filling in at Lot 31, located on First Street between Kirby Avenue and Stadium Drive.

The lot hosted activities for the various age groups that attended the event.

Participants had their choice of snacks and food, as multiple food vendors joined in on the festivities, including the Piato To Go food truck, a kettle corn tent and a Hawaiian Shaved Ice food truck, whose line stretched half way down the lot.

Multiple bounce houses had been set up for children, with themes such as ScoobyDoo, Justice League, the Disney-Pixar film “Cars” and more.

Glow sticks and other glow accessories,

such as headbands, necklaces and wands were also sold at tents, lighting up the lot with a variety of colors as the sun set.

Participants enjoyed a set played by Captain Rat and the Blind Rivets, who performed a ‘50s and ‘60s rock ‘n’ roll set on the white main stage, draped with an American flag.

“Ready for some fireworks?” said Timmy Ray, guitarist for the band. “Let’s rock out people!”

The band performed until five minutes before the fireworks, which began at 9:15.

After the band performed their last song, announcements were made and the singing of the “The Star-Spangled Banner” took place on the stage.

By this time, Lot 31 had been completely filled and people began to fill up Lot 36, located across the street from Memorial Stadium.

The audience was then told to count down from 10. After the audience reached one, the first fireworks were launched.

The crowd began cheering and clapping as the first fireworks occurred. The firework display was a “carefully choreographed and synchronized” show put on by Melrose

Pyrotechnics that was accompanied by a playlist of songs to go along with the fireworks.

Some of the songs included: Ray Charles and Alicia Key’s “America the Beautiful,” Celine Dion’s “God Bless America,” Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” The Wanted’s “Glad You Came,” Katy Perry’s “Firework” and more.

“I really think the songs added to the display and the atmosphere of the entire show,” said Ben Rakes, a recent University graduate. “They played great songs that really made it feel like the Fourth of July.”

The fireworks boomed until 9:45, with a series of big, gold fireworks ending the finale.

As the display ended, attendees cheered, clapped and “wooed” loudly before leaving the lot.

“Coming here was a good way to spend a little part of my Fourth of July,” said Rob Put, junior in Engineering. “It was cool to just relax and see some fireworks with a couple of good friends.”

Supreme Court recognizes Hobby Lobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious beliefs causing concerns for women nationally

T

he Supreme Court Decision on June 30 to allow Hobby Lobby to circumvent the Affordable Care Actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contraceptive mandate may carry dire consequences for women across the country.

Ruling 5-4, Hobby Lobby won protection under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which restricts the government from substantially burdening the exercise of religion without first satisfying a demanding legal test.

This allows a closely held for-profit corporation to be exempt from a law that is in conflict with its religious beliefs. As a result of this decision, Hobby Lobby is no longer required by law to include contraception in its governmentmandated employee health insurance plans.

This is the first case in which the Supreme Court has recognized a for-profit corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious beliefs.

Hobby Lobby President Steve Green and

his family are devoted Southern Baptists, and when Green discovered that Hobby Lobby was offering emergency contraceptive services in its employee insurance plans, he called for the insurer to cancel plans and signed onto the lawsuit at hand, according to the Washington Post.

Hobby Lobby officials told the Wall Street Journal that religious participation is optional for its 28,000 employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in God, we love them where they are,â&#x20AC;? Dianna Bradley, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of chaplain services, had told Wall Street Journal.

For Hobby Lobby employees, religious participation is optional â&#x20AC;&#x201D; regardless of participation however, access to contraceptives is not. This groups all Hobby Lobby employees receiving benefits under the umbrella of the Greensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; devoted Southern Baptist beliefs.

Sounds like religious freedom.

But the problem is larger than Hobby Lobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies themselves.

It sets a precedent: now that Hobby Lobby has the right to deny this service, other religiously affiliated corporations will follow suit. And those workers will no longer have access to contraceptives that, in many cases, are necessary for good health.

Birth control is also referred to by many as â&#x20AC;&#x153;hormone pills,â&#x20AC;? because it gives women extra synthetic estrogen and/or progestin. This can have several health benefits, like stopping acne from growing, alleviating menstrual cramps and helping young women cope with certain disorders like endometriosis and amenorrhea.

Because contraception is a normal and necessary component of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care, denying contraception to women based on religious beliefs may contradict the purpose of the Affordable Care Actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contraception mandate in the first place.

The man told Customers and Border Protection officers that he works as a jewelry distributor and computer records show the man had previously imported jewelry, but he most likely paid import tax on those â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or he just got very lucky.

Big Ten Conference welcomes two new members to the fold Big Ten expands to 14 schools as eastern teams Maryland and Rutgers join Rutgers University ALEX ROUX Sports columnist

S

ummer is the off-season for college athletics, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time for some good old-fashioned conference realignment. Attention, Big Ten fans: Rutgers and Maryland have joined the party.

On July 1, the Big Ten Conference expanded for just the third time since 1950, as it officially welcomed two new universities as members.

Rutgers University and the University of Maryland are now members of the Big Ten, bringing the total number of Big Ten schools to 14. The Big Ten already had a chokehold on the Midwest, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now spreading its roots to the eastern United States. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also no coincidence that the move infiltrates two massive eastern TV markets in the form of New York City and Washington, D.C. For fans of Big Ten teams, that means your conference schedules are about to change. The two new schools will get their feet wet against Big Ten opponents in 2014-15, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the performance of their football and basketball programs that will stand out most to fans.

It will take some getting used to. A Nebraska-Rutgers football matchup doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly have a classic Big Ten rivalry ring to it, but those teams will indeed face each other on Oct. 25.

So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learn more about our new conference foes from the east. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything you need to know about Rutgers and Maryland, and their formidability in the two major sports:

Location: New Brunswick/Piscataway, New Jersey Mascot: Scarlet Knights

Rutgers is actually the state university of New Jersey, meaning itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located very close to the TV gold mine that is New York City. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for this reason that Rutgers was a target for Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, because the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic accomplishments in revenue sports arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly top-notch.

Rutgers last appeared in the NCAA tournament in basketball in 1991 and has been pretty awful at hoops in its history.

The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA tournament six times, including a Final Four appearance in 1976. The program is still recovering from a 2013 scandal that involved former head coach Mike Rice acting verbally and physically abusive toward players, and they lost their final game of last season to Louisville 92-31.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect them to finish anywhere but the cellar of the conference next year.

The Scarlet Knights football program has fared better than basketball, especially in recent years. Rutgers actually played in the first college football game in history in 1869, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been their success in the 2000s that has made the program relevant. Before he left for the NFL, former head coach Greg Schiano built the Scarlet Knights into perennial bowl contenders. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached a bowl game in eight of the last nine seasons, but a downturn in recruiting and a decline in on-field performance means that Rutgers could struggle to reach .500 on the gridiron this season, especially with a tough Big Ten schedule.

FROM page 8

BIG TEN University of Maryland Location: College Park, Maryland Mascot: Terrapins

Maryland’s campus is less than 40 miles from both Baltimore and Washington, D.C., which has Commissioner Delany seeing dollar signs. The Terrapin football and basketball programs have been fairly mediocre as a whole over the past 10 years, which has led to financial trouble and their subsequent move to the Big Ten.

9 However, Maryland football and basketball has been powerful in the past. Under head coach Gary Williams, the basketball program went to 11 straight NCAA tournaments from 1994-2004 and won the national championship in 2002. The Terps have shown some success under current coach Mark Turgeon, but probably won’t finish in the top half of the conference in their first year in the Big Ten. However, due to its history and location, Maryland basketball has the potential to eventually become a regular contender for the conference title.

The football team is coming off a bowl game in 2013, but overall the program has regressed since a winning run during the

early 2000s, a run that had a 2002 Orange Bowl appearance to show for it. Since 2010 they’ve been in the national news more for their eye-popping Under Armour uniforms rather than their on-field performance.

Currently, the Terrapins are comparable to middle-tier Big Ten teams like Minnesota and Indiana. With a very tough conference schedule, it’s unlikely that Maryland football will sniff the top of the league in 2014.

Brad Richards signing brings hope to Stanley Cup run for Blackhawks

Former Rangers assistant captain expected to increase the teams Stanley Cup chances SEAN NEUMANN Sports columnist

T

he Chicago Blackhawks have reassured their chances at another Stanley Cup run next season with the acquisition of center Brad Richards.

Likely to play on the second line, Richards is another all-star caliber name added to the Blackhawks’ roster.

More importantly, the 34-yearold center relaxes pressure on top centerman Jonathan Toews and spreads the Blackhawks’ offensive attack.

Richards is most remembered for winning the Conn Smythe trophy in 2004 after leading the Tampa Bay Lightning to their first Stanley Cup in club history, but even in his mid-30s Richards was able to help guide an underdog New York Rangers team to the Stanley Cup Finals last season.

Richards has only logged less than 60 points in a season once times in his 13-year career when playing a full season, while producing over 90 points twice. Not only does Richards still provide a credible offensive threat, but his veteran status may prove even more valuable to Chicago.

With young forwards like 21-year-old Brandon Saad and 22-year-old Andrew

Shaw beginning to reach their potential, Richards is a player Chicago wants to help them bloom over the next season.

The former Rangers assistant captain is a known leader in the locker room who has over 20,000 minutes of ice time in his career.

With his on-ice skill to help guide young players and the off-ice responsibility to mentor with, (Richards also won the 2004 Lady Byng Trophy for being the NHL player to show the most gentlemanly conduct) the former all-star is a fitting answer to the looming issue of the Blackhawks’ lack of centers going into the 2014-15 season.

Chicago is able to keep both feet in the water for next season while making sure they have more years to dangle them off the boat.

In Richards, there’s immediate reward and security. With a one-year, $2 million contract, the Blackhawks also hold on to the ability to go back on their trust in the former Stanley Cup champion if things don’t pan out in the next season.

But there should be little worry about the former Rangers assistant captain.

This was the right move for Chicago and for all he can be worth, Richards came cheap.
