Two students from the Hong Kong Student Association stand outside the Illini Union on Aug. 29 and hold up black shirts and goggles they’ve worn at protests in Hong Kong. Saturday marked the thirteenth week of bill protests in Hong Kong.

The first death related to severe respiratory disease caused by vaping was reported in Illinois this past month, according to an article by NBC News. In a statement updated on Aug. 23, the Center for Disease Control said 193 potential cases of severe lung illness associated with e-cigarette product usage had been reported by 22 states, as of 5 p.m., Aug. 22. These were all reported between June 28 and Aug. 20. In another statement released on Aug. 23, the director of the Center for Disease Control stated, “We are working with state and local health departments and FDA to learn the cause or causes of this ongoing outbreak.” As of Aug. 26, the University is a 100% smoke and tobacco-free campus, which builds on the smokefree policy that was implemented in 2014. The policy refers to all forms of tobacco, including Juuls and e-cigarettes. “The University of Illi-

Protesters share from front line BY ETHAN SIMMONS STAFF WRITER

Saturday marked the thirteenth week of anti-extradition or bill protests in Hong Kong. Two students from the University were on the front lines. Wednesday morning, however, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Carrie Lam withdrew the extradition bill. Both students, who will remain anonymous and will go under pseudonyms Alex and Riley, have spent most of their lives in Hong Kong. This summer, they donned gas masks, helmets and goggles to protect themselves from upped surveillance and an aggressive police force. The students struck on June 17 alongside 1.7 million other protestors. Two other incidents are burned in their memory. Alex remembers June 12 specifically. During a rereading of the extradition bill, police unleashed tear gas and rubber bullets on demonstrators protesting in front of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council Building. “That’s when people got really angry at the police and government at the ways of handling the protests,” Alex said. “They could’ve done it in a more peaceful and easy way, instead of just using violence and force.” Riley remembers July 21. After largely peaceful anti-government demonstrations around the Yuen Long train station, dozens of white-shirted men beat protestors with batons. The attackers are suspected to be part of the triads, a Chinese crime syndicate. After a slow police response, only two of the men were charged with any crime. The protests have followed a dizzying escalation since the summer. What started as opposition to an extradition bill has evolved into a youth movement with millions of participants, faced with instances of police brutality, government surveillance and widespread misinformation. Here’s how they got here.

Extradition bill

Hong Kong as a territory belongs to China. Under Hong Kong’s constitution — the Basic Law, enacted in 1997 after 156 years as a British colony — makes Hong Kong’s legal system distinct from China’s.

For over two decades, Hong Kong has operated under the slogan “One Country, Two Systems,” developing a separate political, cultural and financial identity from China. The extradition bill, brought forth by the Hong Kong government in late March, would allow the Chinese government to extract accused criminals in Hong Kong for trial in China. The bill seemed to be an attempt to “start the process of harmonizing or reconciling the criminal justice process in Hong Kong with that of China,” said Jeffrey Martin, assistant professor in LAS. Martin taught sociology and researched policing at Hong Kong University from 2009 to 2014. “There is no extradition agreement between Hong Kong and China, if you can believe it, that’s remarkable,” he added. Hong Kong’s citizens feared the extradition bill would encroach on their autonomy, transforming their independent legal system into “a backdoor through which political dissidents are just vacuumed up into Chinese forms of detention,” Martin said.

Five demands

Since then, dozens of oppositional rallies have energized the Hong Kong public, bringing five key demands to the forefront of the leaderless movement. Along with the resignation of Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, Hong Kong protesters demand the following: A complete withdrawal of the extradition bill, which was resolved Wednesday. Retracting the characterization of protestors as “rioters” Launching an independent investigation into police brutality in Hong Kong Releasing arrested protestors and dropping their charges Universal suffrage for Hong Kong, voting for their Chief Executive and Legislative Council Alex and Riley mostly agree on the demands listed, though Riley expanded on criminal charges given to protestors. “I feel like if (protestors) do commit crimes, they should go to jail, just like the

police. It’s why we want an independent investigation. But right now the police are saying they don’t want to,” Riley said. Lam suspended the bill in mid-June and gave an official apology, but the bill has not been fully withdrawn. Violent encounters between protestors and police have continued while protests expanded, blocking airports, roadways and legislative buildings, with marches of nearly 2 million people. “It’s never-ending, and that’s because the government is not willing to admit their fault and not willing to look at the problem and solve it, instead of blaming those pointing out the problem,” Alex said. “That’s really the whole problem of this whole thing.”

and opinions of the conflict, only to face mobs of in-person harassment from Chinese students. Another tool to chill political conversations is the Wu Mao, or “50 Cent Army,” an online phenomenon where social media users are paid to post items that promote the CCP or target dissidents, Martin said. “The kind of behavior (the 50 Cent Army) drives is this mass mob behavior of doxxing people and making their life miserable by piling on and demonstrating righteous, politically correct harassment of the enemy,” Martin said. “Even if you’re just a regular, undergraduate, overseas student who says something in a school newspaper that is against the party line, you are absolutely without question Harassment and anonymity exposed to forms of harassFor Alex and Riley, the ment that can escalate to visceral conflicts between incredible levels.” police and protestors worry them.

Research Park launches new innovation lab BY KIMBERLY BELSER STAFF WRITER

Research Park has partnered with agricultural company Cargill Inc. to bring a new innovation lab to campus. The technology center, which currently accommodates 120 businesses, opened doors to the new innovation lab this year after recruiting last spring. Research Park’s Executive Director Laura Frerichs said the facility began working with Cargill Inc. about a year before the decision to institute a new innovation lab was made. The new lab will be providing a 12-week internship

program for both graduate and undergraduate data science and engineering students. “We are seeking to provide our students with not only the domain knowledge and skills in these areas, but the opportunity to engage in authentic activity in the synthesis of these disciplines,” said Adam Davis, professor in ACES and head of the Department of Crop Sciences in an email. Davis also said interns will have the opportunity to understand and adapt to the questions and problems essential to agricultural technology innovation.

UI, AI company partner to further medicine BY JOSE ZEPEDA ASSISTANT DAYTIME NEWS EDITOR

Infosys, a global consulting and IT services company, is partnering up with the University in order to develop precision medicine technologies. Through the partnership, Infosys will provide its expertise in artificial intelligence development, while the University will provide its expertise in computing systems, bioinformatics and genomic applications. According to the University’s Coordinated Science Laboratory, precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment that takes into account variations in people’s genes, environment and lifestyle. The University will gain access to all of the AI problems Infosys is trying to solve. In order to implement AI into precision medicine technology, any and all errors must be figured out beforehand. University researchers and students will be taking these problems and implementing them in their research. In turn, once the problems with the AI are solved, the AI will be used to study large amounts of biological data, which may lead to multiple possibilities in healthcare improvement, including predictions for patients’ diseases and better controlling of prohibitive healthcare costs. “Not only do we have an opportunity to develop technologies and solutions that can improve and enhance patient care and management,” said Venky Ananth, senior vice president and head of healthcare at Infosys, in a press release. “But we also get a

With the partnership, Infosys also becomes an honorary member of the Center for Computational Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine, which is a different collaboration between the University and the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine. The University and the Mayo Clinic had already been doing research in precision medicine technology, with the Mayo Clinic providing its expertise on genetics, clinical care and

This is not the first time Infosys has been involved with the University. Iyer said Infosys has been funding research at the University for the past 20 years, but this is the first time they are playing a role in contributing to the research. “The value with partnering with a company like Infosys is because they are major innovators in health,” Iyer said. jzeped4@dailyillini.com

“I was thinking the one thing that’s missing the most is our research to back us up to say this is not good for you,” Stillabower said. “And sadly it will be later down the road that people start developing these illnesses and diseases.” Without proper regulation of e-cigarettes and vaping products, it isn’t possible to know how much nicotine you’re getting every time it’s bought, she said. Even though there are many unknowns, e-cigarettes are still popular amongst students. “As a student myself, I’ve seen it used all over campus. It’s so common to be seen. I’ve seen it in classrooms, I’ve seen it in lecture halls, I’ve seen it on the bus. It’s insane,” Stillabower said. Stillabower said students are mostly worried about the carcinogens in smoking and tobacco products and getting cancer as opposed to being addicted to nicotine. “That’s where there’s that kind of gap, is not knowing that nicotine is very addictive and not good for your health,” Stillabower said. “The carcinogens yes are very bad, but nicotine is very bad, too and that’s where a lot of people don’t really realize that and don’t piece it together.” Although quitting smoking, vaping or using any kind of addictive drug is difficult, the University has resources, such as Freedom From Smoking and other programs, that help students who use tobacco and vaping products. “I’ve had people say that quitting tobacco was way harder than quitting hard drugs or alcohol,” Guerra said.

the FDA doesn’t regulate what’s inside it as well, so really there is no knowing what is inside the vapor or the liquid for any vape device. It’s just that misconception and now we’re seeing the repercussions,” Stillabower said. Guerra said she thinks many students are unaware of the health risks because product manufacturers are not going to publicize this information. In addition, most of the information users receive about e-cigarettes are from advertisements, which sometimes minimize the risks to make them sound safer than they truly are. “It’s hard to know exactly how to fight it because we don’t have the data,” Guerra said. Guerra said the manufacturers are taking advantage of the lack of research and information. “They make a lot of claims that haven’t been proven. For instance, that it’s a proven and really good way to quit smoking. That hasn’t been proven,” Guerra said. “It hasn’t been proven that it’s safe. None of these things being claimed are actually proven.” Another study that came out the same week as the news of the death by vaping in Illinois stated e-cigarettes change the constitution of blood vessels, Guerra said. “I’m not going to be at all surprised if we start seeing instances of increased heart attack, stroke and high blood pressure,” Guerra said. Stillabower said the unknown ingredients of e-cigarettes may cause other health issues to arise. gnm2@dailyillini.com

Facial recognition apps pose security issue

AKI AKHAURI THE DAILY ILLINI

Sadeen AlHalabi, freshman in FAA, uses her phone on the Main Quad. Derek Hoiem, associate professor in Engineering, urges students to be wary about consenting to facial recognition technology in various apps because it can be used to track individuals. BY JULIE KANG ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

The recent surge in facial recognition algorithms, especially in social media and phone applications, has raised concerns regarding threats to privacy. Derek Hoiem, associate professor in Engineering, said this type of technology could be used to both reduce or enhance privacy. Hoiem’s research involves creating algorithms that interpret scenes and objects, specifically on recovering the 3D layout and shape of scenes and objects. Face recognition algorithms allow companies to automatically identify a known person in a photograph using their database

of labeled face images, Hoiem said. The algorithms’ accuracy increases if the human face is clearly visible. Hoiem said, for example, a social media company can identify a person in multiple images and design a profile that can be used to improve market products to them. “However, the company could also use recognition to notify and seek permission for someone else to post a photo of the user,” he said in an email. In addition, government agencies can possibly utilize facial recognition, internet images and surveillance data to track someone’s locations and activities. They can also use these to identify participants at a

rally or protest. “A company that mines images from the internet and social media feeds could potentially offer the ability for their users to track the locations and activities of an acquaintance,” Hoiem said. Adam Bates, assistant professor in Engineering, mainly works with computer security. Some of his recent research investigated security risks of machine-learning bias in smart speakers and other speech recognition services, which are similar to the issues with facial recognition techniques. Bates said his concern with this technology is it is far from perfect.

“Facial recognition is error prone and especially disadvantageous to African American (people) and other minorities, women and even young people,” Bates said. “The consequences of misidentification could range from temporarily being locked out of your phone to being falsely matched to a mugshot in a database.” Knowing the different types of facial recognition services is important; for example, a company such as Apple has a good record of protecting user data. In contrast, some companies may use people’s social media posts without consent to add to their own databases. “A company called Geo-

feedia did this in 2015 to assist law enforcement in tracking and arresting political protestors,” Bates said. Although individuals typically cannot access data required to use face recognition algorithms, Hoiem emphasized the importance of being aware that corporations and government institutions can utilize the data they have to identify people in any internet image or public space. “Currently, people are often their own worst enemies in this regard by freely posting photos and providing access to private information about themselves online,” Hoiem said. “However, face recognition

and artificial intelligence software has the potential to either further erode or enhance privacy, and regulation is needed to limit the ways that the technology can be used.” Bates said students should ta ke precautions when using these technologies. “I would urge students to avoid consenting to facial recognition technologies in random mobile apps they download,” Bates said. “However, there’s also a good chance that most students are already present in dozens of private and publicly owned facial recognition databases.” sekang2@dailyillini.com

LIFE & CULTURE Football team practices yoga THURSDAY September 5, 2019 The Daily Illini DailyIllini.com

MARK CAPAPAS THE DAILY ILLINI

Kristina Reese speaks at the English Building about her experience guiding the Illini Football team through yoga exercises. Lou Hernandez, head strength and conditioning coach for the Illini football team, asked Reese to teach the football players about yoga and its benefits. BY PARI APOSTOLAKOS MANAGING EDITOR FOR REPORTING

Kristina Reese has been teaching yoga full time for four years, and as a native of the Champaign-Urbana community, she likes to say she brings balance to the Midwest. Lou Hernandez, head strength and conditioning coach for the Illini football team, recognized Reese’s passion because he participated in some of her yoga sessions and asked her to instruct the players in some sessions during the offseason. During Hernandez’s first tour here at the University from 2005-2011, former players would come back to campus, he said, particularly offensive linemen. One of these players was Tony Pashos, who was playing for the Baltimore Ravens at the time. “Tony Pashos was a big lifting guy,” Hernandez said. “He was always in the room working out, and there were times when he started to miss some days. So, we were like, ‘What’s going on with Tony?’ You know? And he’s enormous

… just a very impressive looking guy. So he said, ‘You know what Lou, I’m starting to do yoga.’ So I was like, come on, really?” But Pashos told Hernandez yoga was the best thing he has ever done for his body, not just in terms of mental recuperation but his entire range of motion. “Football is a train wreck, you know,” Hernandez said. “Every time you’re making contact, these guys are beating their bodies up. So, the more they can do with rest and recuperation, the better off they’ll be down the long run.” Hernandez then decided yoga might have a place for the team at that time, and upon receiving positive feedback from the players, he has made yoga an integral aspect of all his coaching endeavors. When Hernandez returned to the University this year, he found Reese at Hatha Yoga and Fitness in Champaign. “The yoga was a privilege, meaning that the athletes had to earn the opportunity to do yoga,” Reese said. “We quickly found out that everyone really wanted that

privilege, and they really are active and attentive yoga students.” Reese said the players were surprised at the difficulty of the yoga upon starting instruction but at the same time saw the value in it. “The breathwork, the meditation and the focus really are valuable when they get onto the field in building that sense of one camaraderie and checking in with the team,” Reese said. “But also checking in with themselves, breathing freely and being really connected so that they can make the best decision in the game.” As a former college cheerleader, Reese recognizes the impact that a competitive background and mindset can have on a yoga student. “With yoga, you’re not going to win,” she said. “You can’t win. You’re not trying to win. It’s really just about being in your body and in your mind at that moment,” she said. Although he had never taken a yoga class before, sophomore and offen-

sive lineman Kendrick Green said he loved doing it with his teammates. It did, however, come with its challenges. “I’m big, and just holding myself up like that is really, really difficult,” Green said. “Your arms burn, and it’s such a workout, you’ll sweat for sure … It’s definitely necessary though.” Senior and tight end Justice Williams said “yoga is hard for a bunch of big guys that can’t bend.” However, since Hernandez returned, Williams said

he brought a level of seriousness to the strength and conditioning program as well as the yoga instruction. “There wasn’t any laughing, we were just locked in for the whole 45 minutes (Reese) was there,” Williams said. Practicing yoga on a regular basis has given Williams the ability to now sit nearly cross-legged, which he said was his favorite part of the experience. In working with the team, Reese has noticed an improvement in the players’

ability to relax into a space. “In yoga, a lot of times, at first people maybe think about the poses themselves, but what builds on the poses is the breathing,” she said. “I’ve definitely seen changes in how they are able to breathe and be connected and in the moment.” Reese said practicing yoga can be beneficial for all types of athletes as well as the general public by trying to bring about resilience, a balance of breath and helping people be present. At the end of the yoga session, Reese said she will often lead the class in a breathing meditation called Shavasana as a final relaxation. “What’s so amazing is to see these high-class athletes that have so many demands on them academically, athletically, and to see them come into a state where they get to relax,” she said. “Where it’s like, OK, you get told what to do all the time, you’ve got a bunch going on, but now, in the most positive way possible just be nobody, do nothing.” parina2@dailyillini.com

Students are unlicensed, unaffected BY SIDNEY MADDEN ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

For many Illini, getting one’s license can be a rite of passage, one’s first taste of independence and the first in a series of milestones that define adulthood. Within five years of turning 16, young adults are also able to vote, go to bars on campus and drink legally. Several students, however, never get their licenses. Many come from urban areas where public transportation is more affordable and accessible. International students put off getting their licenses because they know it will be invalid in the U.S. For some students, having a car is out of reach. Julie Cidell, professor in LAS, is asking questions about students in these situations. Cidell, who has studied transportation throughout her career, is interested in seeing how students’ driving habits change while at the University. In a pilot study conducted last year surveying 100 seniors, Cidell found that roughly a quarter of the students owned a car their first year, and by the time they graduated, three-quarters had also brought a car to campus. Cidell also chairs the Transportation Sustainability Working Advisory Team, a group committed to helping the University become carbon neutral by 2050 with the Illinois Climate Action Plan. To reduce carbon emissions, Cidell and her team have implemented a variety of action items including encouraging fewer staff vehicle trips and establishing a campus bike initiative. In regards to discouraging students from driving on campus, Cidell says normalizing alternative modes of transportation is the best strategy. She says a lot of the MCORE project is about making it safer for cyclists, which encourages more people to bicycle. She explains how the infrastructure has been purposefully designed to separate buses from bikes. Accessibility will mobilize more people to bike, and biker visibility in the masses will encourage others to follow. “If all you see is cars,” she said, “then that’s what’s expected.”

CASSIDY BRANDT THE DAILY ILLINI

Cidell explained suburbia is “designed for the car: the width of streets and the fact that you only have single-family houses and you don’t have a subway or train. It’s really hard to go back and put that kind of stuff in whereas in central cities, they were built before the car, and so they have transit systems, and they have denser streets, and the sidewalks are wider.” According to a 2016 University of Michigan study, there has been a decline in individuals, especially young people, getting their licenses between 2011 and 2014. Participants cited reasons as being too busy to learn, able to find other modes of transportation or

unable to afford a vehicle. Jack Qi, office assistant at the I Can Pass Driving School in Champaign, has found University students who take driving lessons are either from other countries or from urban areas. “When they move to Champaign, when they move to the University, the transportation is not so convenient,” he said. “They start to learn how to drive.” One of these students is Sharon Gao, junior in Business, who enrolled in the course a couple months ago and passed the driving test. Gao, an international student, says she never learned because of the complicated, lengthy procedure to get a license back in China. Gao

finally decided to get her license after getting rides from friends or Ubering around campus, though she says she currently only drives once a week when she can borrow a car. Other students don’t plan to get their licenses until after graduation. Subhi Chandrasekaran, senior in ACES and a former Illini Media employee, went to a boarding high school, so she didn’t have anyone around to teach her to drive. Chandrasekaran, an international student, also knew she wanted to come to the U.S., where the driving rules would be different and where she would need an American license anyway. She has no plans to get

a license until after graduation, when she has time and money. “Even if I had the time to learn to drive and had a license, I won’t have a car,” she said. “I don’t want to buy a car on my parent’s money — I want to buy it on my own. Even if I get my license, I don’t see the point right now.” Access to transportation can be a privilege. Choosing whether or not to get one’s license can also be a privilege. But many students — and people — face socioeconomic barriers, like access to a vehicle and available driver’s education courses, that prevent them from learning how to drive in the first place.

Cidell says when the quality of alternative modes of transportation improves, everyone wins. “When we think about choosing to or not to (drive), we forget about the people who don’t have a choice,” she says. “They’re stuck in a system that’s built for the car, and they can’t do anything about it. So the more people who choose not to, that makes it better for everyone because there’s more of a critical mass of people who are not driving. So even if people who can’t afford are still kind of stuck, if everything improves around them, then they’re better off, too.” sidneym2@dailyillini.com

veryone knows vaping isn’t the best for you. Sucking anything into your lungs that isn’t the air we breathe generally isn’t a good call. And the recent vaping-related illness — already a killer, by the way — isn’t exactly a shining endorsement. But, we’re humans. We do stupid, irresponsible things to our bodies. We drink, we smoke and we party. So what difference does it make to add one more self-destructive tendency to an already long list? After all, we’re not harming anyone else, right? Wrong. Vaping and juuling are actually quite harmful to the environment. Most

e-cigarettes have cartridges or “pods” designed for a single-use, which gets the user about 200 puffs. These cartridges are made of plastic and as of yet are not recyclable. Also, people are lazy, and often our trash becomes litter. Just think how often we see cigarette butts, napkins and other garbage lying around on our sidewalks. Juul pods and other e-cigarette cartridges can now be found among the debris, and it’s sad to see this uptick in littering. As if this non-biodegradable filth polluting our planet wasn’t enough, e-cigarettes contain toxic metals and trace amounts of nicotine that then leak into the environment. Improperly disposed of

juuls thus qualify as both a biohazard and e-waste. We and the generations preceding us have already been poor stewards of the Earth. Now, our generation is contributing to the mess left by our ancestors by creating an unnecessary influx of non-recyclable material waste for a nicotine fix. It’s not enough just to say, “Oh, well I don’t litter, so I’m not part of the problem. I always throw my juul pods in a garbage can.” So what? All of our garbage ends up in landfills, and the toxic chemicals in the pods can leak out there, not to mention the generally long life of plastic. Don’t add more hazardous waste to the environment; there’s already

enough from things that actually have positive impacts on human life (computers, refrigerators, medical machines, etc.). What do e-cigarettes do for anyone? Make you look cool? Give you a shortlived buzz? Come on, people. We’re supposed to be smarter than this. Yes, juuling and vaping are bad for you as an individual, and yes, as an individual you have the right to partake if you wish. But this also isn’t just about you anymore; it’s about all of us. The future of our planet hangs in the balance of all our actions. So, next time you want to hit your e-cigarette, just don’t. Your planet (and your lungs) will thank you for it.

A stagnant economy reflects political strife FRED SHOAFF COLUMNIST

T

he global economy is getting close to going down the tubes, but one man’s Twitter is getting more attention than any other indicator for economic strife. As President Trump continues to send tweets that rock global markets and play brinkmanship games with China, Europe and America, they are seeing plummeting bond yields (which indicate a potential nearby recession). Manufacturing companies are going stagnant, luxury automotive sales are falling, heck, even RV sales have plummeted 20.3%. And as if some bad data wasn’t enough, now the president is using Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell as a scapegoat with immature tweets that cheapen the independence of the Fed. Why does this matter? The whole point of the Fed’s independence is to ensure no foolish president can manipulate the value of the dollar to ensure reelection and other similarly negative consequences. Richard Nixon effectively steered the Fed in the early 1970s, and what followed was painful inflation in the 1980s. This time, it will inevitably be inflation’s big, ugly brother: stagflation. The long-term effects set by President Trump’s precedent of manipulating the Fed could be disastrous in other ways, too, but that is a topic for another day. (Think Elizabeth Warren controlling the Fed, and you’ll know what I mean.) Psychologically speaking, maybe the best indicator of economic worries should be how President Trump is blaming a macroeconomic problem on someone else, with admittance therein of

a legitimate problem. The president knows a bad economy is enough to rip him out of office by his toupee, and we all know he would never admit to creating a problem himself. Anyway, I admit I have held my short positions (investments that bet against the market) and gold positions (an investment used as a safe haven in bad economies) for far too long, but I believe there are too many global issues to ignore right now, which is why a financial meltdown is imminent. A real shame of our society is the lack of realist media coverage that breaks down the fundamental issues we all care about and causes people to critically think about our own finances. Left media screams at the right all day, and right media screams back, brainwashing people with propaganda. This leads to people going to school or work all year and not knowing certain things are wrong. I was reading “The Wall Street Journal” the other

day (the Journal leans a bit right, but not too drastically), and I came across a piece that detailed an insidious threat in this current economic expansion that has drowned America in wealth. Despite being the talking point for President Trump’s tenure, wealth seems to have skipped millions of people — including many of his voters — still recovering from their losses after 2008. In short, the wealthy buy stocks and have made incredible money after 2008, but less affluent people have most of their net worth tied up in their home equity. And housing prices, adjusted for inflation, have still not caught up to their 2006 peak, which means that even after “the greatest economic expansion in history” many people have pretty much just broken even. It would almost seem that the stock market has lived in its own little utopia built on the bedrock of extreme corporate debt to create the illusion of incredible economic success.

So? So, all of the recession alarms being sounded by the trade war, all of the talk about inverted yield curves, everything I mentioned before and the fact that most people really aren’t richer than 13 years ago spells immense trouble ahead for most people. And the sad thing is people are going to run and hide to a presidential candidate that favors socialistic policies. And even sadder, it is hard to blame them. Looking ahead to 2020, I will be buying more gold and riding that wave through the elections. I hope the world doesn’t turn into economic turmoil, but I suggest all of you have a way to hedge your financial bets. But wait, the next president will probably free you of your student debts anyway by using money made of thin air. Whatever; I’m still buying gold.

Illinois prepares for Connecticut in Week 2 BY JARED FARMER STAFF WRITER

A f t er st e a m r ol l i ng through a 42-3 win against the A kron Zips, Illini Football picks back up at East Hartford Saturday afternoon for their second match of the season against the Connecticut Huskies. The Illini are coming off of a statement victory in which they controlled both sides of the field. Transfer Brandon Peters shined in his debut as quarterback, throwing three touchdowns, 163 passing yards and scoring his own rushing touchdown. Illinois’ defense held Akron’s offense in an absolute stranglehold, highlighted by a first-half from Jake Hansen which included six tackles, a forced fumble, and an interception. His energy was met across the board by the entire defense, who only allowed the Zips one field goal conversion early in the first quarter. Despite coming off of a blowout victory, last Saturday the Illini lost junior running back Mike Epstein to a knee injury that’ll keep him sidelined

for the rest of the season. “Mike has been through so much, such a good football player,” said head coach Lovie Smith. “As was the case with Marquez Beason, these are guys that will come back as strong as ever, but they won’t be a part of the actual Saturday’s this year. What Mike should see is that he has battled it. This is a little bit different of a situation than Dudek because he has a lot of eligibility left. He’ll come back as strong as ever.” Kerby Joseph will also miss out on playing time at U-Conn this Saturday. The sophomore defensive back was ejected from the game against Akron after being called for targeting. He was starting for sophomore safety Sydney Brown, who missed the home-opener after suffering a hamstring injury. Brown is close to returning, but it remains undetermined whether or not he’ll play on Saturday. Connecticut will enter Saturday after winning their home opener against SEE AKRON | 3B

Eifler brings success to Big Ten BY MILES POWERS-HUANG STAFF WRITER

Though some may not be aware, Illinois linebacker Milo Eifler is one of the most successful players in the country that hasn’t played for Alabama, Clemson or Oklahoma. At Washington, Eifler’s previous school, the Bay Area native was redshirted but was in and around the 2016 Husky team that started 12-1 and made an appearance in the College Football Playoff semifinal, losing 24-7 to Alabama in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. He was then a rotation player and appeared in every game during the Huskies 2017 season, in which they finished 10-3 and made an appearance in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, losing to Saquon Barkley and Penn State. Eifler’s defenses at Wash-

ington were among the highest-rated in the country, which starkly contrasts to an Illinois unit that ranked among the worst in America in 2018 while he was sitting out. Now in the fold and available to play, the Illini’s new starting outside linebacker feels the only way the unit can improve is to put last season into the past. “We don’t want to do anything we did last year, kinda don’t even think about last year,” Eifler said. Sitting on the sidelines allowed Eifler to visually familiarize himself with the Big Ten, a conference with a different offensive profile than the Pac 12. For a big, versatile linebacker who doesn’t shy away from hard hits, it’s evident Eifler’s style of play fits the league. “The biggest difference

for me about the Big Ten is just the style of offenses we play,” Eifler said. “You know (in the) Pac 12 mostly everybody was (a) spread offense, trying to get guys (in) oneon-one situations (and) create space. We got a couple of those teams in the Big Ten but it’s mostly downhill, Wisconsin type (and) Iowa type offenses, that’s the biggest difference for me.” In Eifler’s first game action Saturday, the linebacker started alongside Jake Hansen and Dele Harding in the linebacking corps as Illinois held Akron to just three points. Strong linebacker play was a critical piece of Lovie Smith’s vision to turn around the defense when he took over as the play caller this off-season. “Since Coach Smith became the defensive coordinator he made it clear

that the linebackers were the leaders of the defense,” Eifler said. “If we have a bad game the defense (is) going to have a bad game.” The highlight of Eifler’s Saturday came in the third quarter with the Illini already up big. A seconddown pass from Akron’s Kato Nelson sailed incomplete, but two flags came in on the play, one on Illini safety Kerby Joseph for targeting that was upheld, the other on Eifler, a personal foul for physically retaliating at an Akron player. The Zips went from having a third down on their own 25-yard line to a first down on the Illini 38 after all the penalty yardage. However, they would come away with zero points and Eifler’s effort on the next play was the main reason SEE MILO 3B

Illinois running back Mike Epstein rushes with the football during the game against Purdue at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 13.

Epstein out for season with knee injury BY MILES POWERS-HUANG STAFF WRITER

injury problem, although it is not viewed as serious per Smith at his Monday Press Conference. Epstein’s health struggles bring back thoughts of another Mike that was recently a part of the Illini program, receiver Mike Dudek. The talented passcatcher just could not stay on the field after a breakout 2014 true freshman season. Dudek would go on to miss all of 2015, 2016, parts of 2017 and most of 2018, a path that Epstein’s is, unfortunately, beginning to resemble. It is unknown at this time whether or not Epstein will get a redshirt and retain two years of eligibility or become a true senior in 2020.

Illinois head coach Lovie Smith announced Monday junior running back Mike Epstein will miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native returned from an injury which caused him to miss the final five games of the 2018 season, after previously having missed the final seven games of the 2017 season due to injury as well. While a third seasonending injury is never good news, tailback is by far the deepest position on the Illinois roster as the loss of Epstein will open things up for promising backs Jakari Norwood, Dre brown and Ra’Von Bonner @MilesP_H to get more carries behind milesp2@dailyillini.com senior Reggie Corbin, who is also battling a slight

In those four years, Collins was the four-time team MVP and was a three-time North Suburban Conference honoree. “Being in the gym every day and going through those situations in practice,” said Collins on what makes her prepared for the big moment. “The competition level in practice is very high, so I kind of know what the situation feels like to be in that moment.” Collins talked about how the team stays focused and keeps its composure. They have a team “scale” that goes from one to ten, and they always try to stay at a five. Not too high, and not too low. Collins might have been prepared for her big moment, but it doesn’t mean there were no nerves that came with such a big role so early. Collins’ con-

fidence coming into the season was low, but Collins knows the team always has her back. That helps her keep her confidence high. Te a m m at e s and friends like Kyla Swanson have helped her confidence and performance on the court. “Coming in not knowing a lot of girls, Kyla, and Ellie (Holzman) being my roommate, we created a great bond,” Collins said.”Coming into the first practice knowing someone, having a pepper partner, it helped me a lot. “It was great (to start the game with Swanson), we were in our room last night practicing our celebrations together, and we got a block, so it was fun playing with her. I love her.” Collins is continuing to shake off the nerves that come with many fresh-

men athletes but will continue to also grow from the support that her team offers. It only gets harder for Collins and the Illini as they will be traveling a lot this next month. Their next match at home in front of a Huff Hall crowd won’t be until September 27. That match will start their conference play and it will be against Nebraska, the team who ended their championship hopes last season. “(The team is) always supportive,” Collins said. “They always have something to tell me to fix, or if I am doing great, they’ll let me know. So just knowing that they’ll be there will help.”

The Illinois volleyball team has been off to an exciting start coming off its final four appearances last season. This past weekend they won both of their matches against Tennessee in the fifth round, going from being down 2-0 and winning three straight in their first match, to being up 2-0 and losing the lead just to win it in the fifth in their second match. Some familiar names showed up big in the first two matches for the Illini. Seniors Jacqueline Quade and Ashlyn Fleming had large contributions to the offense and defense, but new faces also contributed to the successful weekend. One new @brendyn_jones brendyn2@dailyillini.com face specifically, freshman middle blocker Kennedy Collins, made a big impact in her first two matches for the Illini. “(Her performance was) great, lots of improvement from the opening match until this one,” said head coach Chris Tamas. “Part of it was that we wanted to use her more. I didn’t think we hit her in the greatest of positions on Friday... She got a big swing at the end and a huge stuff against (Tennessee’s) best outside hitter. It’s all you can ask for in those big moments.” Tamas was referencing Collins’ clutch play on Sunday against Tennessee, where she got a block late in the fifth and scored the match-winning kill to seal the Illini victory. The multiple injuries that the Illini are facing have forced the players to step up, and this isn’t different for the freshmen. While Collins may not have expected to be such an impact player right away, she was ready for JONATHAN BONAGURO THE DAILY ILLINI the opportunity.

Illinois to play in Pac-12/Big Ten Challenge

JONATHAN BONAGURO THE DAILY ILLINI

The Illini celebrate after scoring against Tennessee Sunday at Huff Hall. The Illini won 3-2. No. 6-ranked Illinois will play No. 16 Washington on Friday and Colorado Saturday. BY GABBY HAJDUK STAFF WRITER

“Fifth-Set Magic” Three hours and 204 points later, match point came from the serve of Tennessee volleyball’s Madison Coulter. With just five reception errors on the day, the Illinois volleyball team stayed poised as senior Caroline Welsh cleanly received the potential final point and passed it to redshirt freshman Diana Brown. While senior stars Jacqueline Quade and Ashlyn Fleming stood right beside Brown, she set freshman Kennedy Collins as the young pair looked to close out their Huff Hall debuts with a win. Collins took the opportunity to make her first home match special as she drilled the ball off Tennessee’s hands to win the fifth set 15-8. The seven-point difference in the fifth set does not perfectly capture how close the second match between No. 6 Illinois and No. 19 Tennessee was. Three out of the five sets were decided by no more than four points. While the match took a

physical and mental toll on the Illini and the Vols, both teams had been in that exact position before, just two nights earlier, against each other. On Friday night, Illinois opened up its season at Tennessee, dropping the first two sets but using a comeback effort to take the next three sets and the match. Tennessee came close to redemption on Sunday night as they took the third and fourth sets after Illinois won the first two. However, the Illini shut those hopes down and brought their “fifth-set magic,” said head coach Chris Tamas. The pressure-filled weekend worked in the Illini’s favor as they take a 2-0 record into the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge in Iowa this weekend. While early wins matter, the resiliency the Illini showed in crunch time matters more long-term. “It’s always good to beat a ranked opponent both home and away,” Tamas said. “I think it gives them the confidence that they can per-

form under these types of moments. It’s not always easy to be put there under bright lights with 4,000 screaming fans. It’s difficult to do. To get that play in under our belt is a huge deal, and hopefully, we can be one week better next week.” Team diversity fosters success and growth In his third season with the Illini, Tamas is still handling roster turnover and the age gap between the majority of his team. On Sunday, three seniors and a junior started along with three freshmen. While injuries have limited the gameday lineup, Tamas believes every player has the ability to step up when needed. “I think it’s huge for the team just to come together whether it’s the same lineup next week or not,” Tamas said. “I think everyone has a role on this team, no matter whether it’s on the bench or on the court. They’re competitive every day, and they are a great team, and it’s fun to work with them. I’m proud

of what we’re building here right now.” After losing key players from the 2018 campaign, setter Jordyn Poulter and middle blocker Ali Bastianelli, Tamas knew some underclassmen were going to make an immediate impact. Over the weekend, those players were setter Diana Brown and middle blockers Kyla Swanson and Kennedy Collins, who played opposite on Sunday. Brown, who redshirted last season, used the 2018 season to learn from Poulter and put in extra work in the gym. While Brown is grateful to have witnessed Poulter’s Illini legacy, she still longed every day to see action on the court. “I really appreciate the leadership and role (Poulter) presented to me last year, but, I love playing,” Brown said. “I’m a competitor, so it was really hard to sit on the bench. Jordyn was great. She was everything you want in a setter. I am trying to be different but at the same time trying to be her because she was awesome. She really made a

name for herself, but I’m just trying to be Diana Brown, whatever that is.” Along with Brown, Collins and Swanson have also been working to create their own legacy behind Bastianelli and Fleming. While Swanson saw a lot of court time, Collins stood out with her nine kills, including the matchwinning kill. Collins attributed her poise on match point to the competition level she sees every day in practice. That competition level each Illini faces every day stems from upperclassmen like Quade, Fleming and senior Megan Cooney. While the freshmen have impressed early, Tamas believes the majority of ingame success comes when the upperclassmen are on point because they “exude confidence” to the younger players. “There’s that ownership in that group, and they do need to step up when times get tough,” Tamas said. “When they get quiet, I think we get a bit down, so we have to make sure that they keep it going.” Quade, Fleming and

Cooney combined for 44 of the team’s 59 total kills on Sunday; Quade paced the Illini with 22. Pac-12/Big Ten Challenge The Illini will remember their 10-set battle with Tennessee for a while, but this week, the focus will be on the Pac-12/Big Ten Challenge. The tournament hosted in Iowa City starts on Friday, and Illinois will play No. 16 Washington at 4 p.m. Illinois will then face Colorado at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Illinois faced both Washington and Colorado last season in the same tournament. The Illini won both matches, sweeping Colorado and dropping just one set to Washington. No. 16 Washington heads into this weekend at 2-1 after losing to No. 20 Hawaii on Sunday. Colorado sits at 3-0 after only playing unranked teams. The Buffs will play Iowa on Friday before their matchup with Illinois. ghajduk2@dailyillini.com @gabby_h11

Play for injured players BY TATI PERRY STAFF WRITER

Sorry you are missing a year of growth. Sorry you have been set back and are missing a time to truly be apart of what could be the pivotal season for the Illini. Our hearts go out for you. We are somber. Dear Illinois football team … You have a duty to uphold. I know you already dedicated your season to those guys, but you have to follow through. Not to be that person, but in the past few years, you let a few fans down. This year is different. This is for the guys, the bros, the homies. This is finally the year you have to step up and actually follow through. Not to be harsh, but you guys can’t choke this year. Things go wrong. That’s normal. There are obstacles to overcome, and there are trials to get through, but you have to preserve. After all, this season isn’t about you. This is about Roundtree, Beason and Epstein. This is for them. You let the fans down. They get over it. They are a resilient bunch who will ride with you no matter what. You owe them, but honestly, whatever. Please don’t let these guys down when they are able to truly don the orange and blue again. Let it be on the tails of the first winning season in five years. Dear Illini fans, Root for them. Continue to support this team and support those who will be on the sidelines.

Illinois *insert name here* was carted off the field due to *insert injury here.* Dear Bobby Roundtree … “Illinois defensive end Bobby Roundtree remains hospitalized in Florida after surgery for a severe spinal injury suffered in a May 18 swimming accident,” according to the Chicago Tribune. Dear Mike Epstein ... “Illinois running back Mike Epstein will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury Saturday in the opener against Akron,” according to the Chicago Tribune. Dear Marquez Beason … Illinois freshman Marquez Beason was carted off the field on Tuesday at Illinois football training camp after suffering a knee injury. The extent of the injury is not clear,” according to the Chicago Tribune. Illini fans are sad. We feel for you, and we are rooting for you. Your teammates have dedicated their season to you. Like the Lorax who speaks for the trees, I (selfproclaimed) speak for the fans in saying, this season all thoughts are for you guys. I’m sure you hate to hear, ‘I know how you feel,’ followed by an unrelated story. This isn’t that. I don’t know how you feel. I don’t want to pretend that I do. I, like most fans, am just sorry. Sorry your season ended before you could step on campus, ended before you played your first game, stopped tp3@dailyillini.com abruptly for the third time. @tati_perry14

Josh Whitman, Director of Athletics, meets with the press in the Hall of Fame Room at the Bielfeldt Athletics Administration Building on March 8, 2018. Last June, Whitman announced the Ubben Basketball Practices Facility will be undergoing renovations.

Ubben undergoes renovation BY MEGHAN REST SPORTS EDITOR

The 20-year-old Ubben Basketball Practices Facility is getting a facelift, Illinois Athletic Director Josh Whitman announced in June. Whitman, who was joined by head men’s basketball coach Brad Underwood and head women’s basketball coach Nancy Fahey for the announcement, outlined plans to fundraise approximately $30 million for the renovation. In addition to adding 45,000 square feet to the facility and revamping over 8,300 square feet of existing space, the project will also feature two new half courts in both women’s and men’s gyms as well as a two-story strength and conditioning room, player lounges and a modern sports medicine area. According to Whitman, who enters his fourth season at the helm of Illini Athletics, the bulk of the fundraising will come from gifts. While there’s no word on when ground will officially be broken, the project is $1 million closer to it’s $30 million fundraising goal, thanks

to a gift from University of Illinois alumni Dennis and Katharine Swanson. Whitman announced the gift Aug. 30, which also includes a donation to the State Farm Center and Campbell Hall for Public Telecommunications within the College of Media, according to fightingillini.com. Dennis is an Illinois basketball alumnus and touts a decorated career in media including executive positions as President of ABC Sports; President for ABCs Daytime and Children’s Programming; President and General Manager of WNBCTV in New York and co-chair of NBC Olympics; Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of CBS Television Stations Inc.; and President of Station Operations for Fox Television Stations Group. According to fightingillini.com, Swanson is also a member of the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame and the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in addition to hiring a young Oprah Winfrey and persuading the International Olympic Committee to stagger the summer and winter Olympic Games.

“We are very excited to announce this gift from Dennis and Kathy,” Whitman said, per fightingillini.com. “Illinois Basketball has been a great passion of the Swanson family since Dennis’ days on our campus. Throughout Dennis’ remarkable career, he led many successful efforts to build great teams, and he understands the importance of resources to do so. With this gift, Dennis is again taking an active role in a build process, and our state-ofthe-art facility will be critical to our success. During Dennis’ time with Illinois Basketball, he was surrounded by some of the game’s best; with such an impactful gift, he is helping Illinois Basketball produce another generation of greats. Our thanks to Dennis and Kathy for such generous support of our bold vision for the future of Illinois Basketball.” According to Whitman, the $30 million Ubben expansion is a component of the DIA’s $300 million fundraising goal and part of the “With Illinois” $2.25 billion University-wide fundraising campaign.

The announcement also comes after the completion of the 107,650-square foot, $79.2 million Henry Dale and Betty Smith Football Center and the groundbreaking of Demirjian Park last year and the construction of the Susan and Clint Atkins Indoor Baseball Training Center, which was announced last fall. Construction of the new soccer fields was projected to be completed in time for the 2019 season, while the entire Demirjian Park facility will be completed by the 2020 soccer season and set the stage for Illinois to host the 2021 Big Ten Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The 26,000 squarefoot Susan and Clint Atkins Indoor Baseball Training Center is looking at a 2021 completion date. The renovations of Ubben will take approximately three years to complete, although there have been no announcements of a project timeline for the updates, according to fightingillini. com. merest2@dailyillini.com @meghan_rest

AKRON Wagner College 24-21. They were bolstered by the play of running backs ( junior) Kevin Mens and (grad student) Art Thompkins, who rushed for a combined 243 yards and scored a touchdown each. In his debut at quarterback, transfer student Mike Beaudry hit 14 of 21 passes for 158 yards, with one interception. “Randy Edsall is an outstanding football coach, so any football team that he’s coaching, there’s a certain type of football you can expect: disciplined football, hard-nosed football,” Smith said. “They had a tough one opening up the season, but that’s what it is.” The Huskies are hoping this opening win of the season sparks a turnaround for the program. Last year the Huskies finished 1-11, and 0-8 in the American Athletic Conference. The lone win last year came against Rhode Island, 56-49. The 1-11 record was good for 126th, just rounding out the bottom of the barrel in the NCAA. Last year the Illini’s struggles were the most glaring on the road, finishing 1-5 in games away from Memorial Stadium. Despite the abysmal record the Huskies sported last year, winning this road game is imperative for the Illini. “For us, it doesn’t matter who our opponent is. We’re going on the road. We haven’t had a lot of success on the road. We haven’t won a non-conference game on the road since 2007. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it sounded pretty good to tell the team. There’s a lot at stake. Good football teams can’t just play at home. You have to be able to go on the road. I’m anxious to see how we respond to the second game.” @jaredefarmer jaredef2@dailyillini.com

MILO why. “I was really mad that I got a penalty called because the (referee) didn’t see (what) the offensive line did to me, it’s not cool, you can’t tackle somebody after the play like that,” Eifler said. “Coach Smith pulled me aside and (said) ‘you can’t do that’ you gotta keep (your) composure.

announced the construction of Demirjian Park on the south side of campus, immediately to the east of the Soccer and Track Stadium. But there are some changes to athletics schedules surrounding the construction. Both men’s and women’s

track and field teams will not host any home meets this season, and the soccer team is currently playing in its final season at the current venue. The Illini currently practice soccer at the Soccer and Track Stadium, but once the

team moves to Demirjian Park, they will practice on a different field than the one they compete on. Though construction is slated to be completed in time for the fall 2020 season, the project’s price recently increased to almost $21 mil-

jumped the route and then made the play, it was a pretty big moment.” Indeed Eifler made a bigtime legal hit on Akron receiver Michael Mathison, raising his shoulder and making contact after cheating in to blow up a screen pass and force an incompletion, pummeling Mathison to the ground in the process. The hit sent Mathison to the locker room, but on his own power, and caused quite a stir on social media, including many of Eifler’s

friends and family. “My phone was blowing up crazy,” Eifler said. “Went back to the locker room, took a shower and opened (it) up and (there) was over a hundred messages on Twitter and Instagram. It was pretty cool to see everyone from back home watching the game just recording me and posting it.” Eifler also added two tackles and a tackle for loss as the Illini defense held the Zips to just 192 total yards. Though Eifler’s big hit

was his most talked-about contribution Saturday, Smith values the linebacker for his versatility and is excited to see him showcase the rest of his skill set as the season progresses. “Milo Eifler, we’ve been talking about him for a while with good reason,’ Smith said as Eifler walked into the room. “He’s got a chance to be an outstanding football player, you got a chance to see some of it (on Saturday), but those were ( just) hits you got a

chance to see. He can rush the passer (and) he can play in coverage; anxious to see the improvements that he makes.” When asked if his hit Saturday was the best of his career, Eifler offered a cheeky response that may will the excitement of Illini fans about what’s to come for him. “There’s still eleven games left,” Eifler said.

TRAVIS SCOTT

came from in interviews. Travis Scott is notorious for having rowdy concerts, which is why he’s been arrested multiple times. Audiences are encouraged to be as destructive as possible, and, as a result, people pass out and have to be carried off on stretchers. That being said, it was really interesting to see the perspective of the audience members through brief concert interviews. A lot of what these kids say focuses on how relatable he is and how his music helped them through difficult times, even though this might not be reflective through their actions at his concerts. When it’s time for Scott to perform, he doesn’t play around; he’s there to give people a memorable show. He’s literally flown in on a mechanical bird, rides a rollercoaster over crowds

ground. They are a subtle footnote within each deeply nostalgic song. It’s clear Del Rey still situates herself in the tradition of artists swallowed whole by America’s helplessly romantic ideals, but rather than letting her music be retellings of them, she lets it speak through her now —in her own words. The tracks no longer build-up to an orgasmic fever pitch in the same way they did on “Ultraviolence,” “Born to Die” or “Honeymoon.” Every track feels like its standing alone; her music has moved beyond swooning but still holds the overpowering emotion her fans fell in love with. I discovered Lana Del Rey in the eighth grade and listened to every album she released every summer since then. My own memories and the many places I have lived and spent summers are helplessly intertwined

of people and let a concertgoer propose to his girlfriend onstage. But when he notices someone’s safety is at risk, he jumps into action, bringing the person’s presence to the attention of the medical team while his performance comes to a brief pause. There are always going to be a select few who say they don’t want to watch eighty-five minutes of a rapper talking about how he’s a visionary or a god. First of all, Scott literally has a song called “STOP TRYING TO BE GOD” (the most underrated song off of “ASTROWORLD”), about rappers who tend to think they’re better than anybody and everybody and how stupid that mindset is. I will admit there are times in the documentary that might lead unfamiliar audiences to think that Scott is a narcissistic person. In one scene, he yells at his stage production crew about a light-

ing issue. In another, he is shown expressing frustration during the Grammy Awards, when “ASTROWORLD” loses best rap album to Cardi B’s “Invasion of Privacy.” However, instead of simply labeling him as a narcissist, audiences should recognize no one is perfect. Scott truly cares about the craft he’s putting out there and how audiences are going to respond to it, this comes across clearly throughout the film. On a surface level, or to someone who doesn’t know Travis Scott’s work very well, they might see a typical rapper who is disruptive, anti-establishment and who wants to bring chaos to order. But when you look more closely, audiences might see an artist who is creating music millenials and Generation Z can relate to the most, and he is loved for it.

within each song she has released over the course of her career. Listening to “Norman F— Rockwell” in the summer before I turn 20 feels like watching a friend enter fully into adulthood, as though all of the nascent parts of them I knew and grew up with are falling into their final places. Lana Del Rey has always been someone who has a deep appreciation for where she lives in both American music and art history. She’s always been an artist difficult to listen

to casually; her music has always rewarded those who are willing to take apart every lyric and understand every literary and musical reference. When these are put together, listeners are allowed to fully understand the ethos that drives her music. “Norman F— Rockwell” is everything the followers of Del Rey’s music have been asking for and more. It undoubtedly holds enough power to recruit a new batch of devotees.

buzz Lana Del Rey releases nostalgic sixth album BY NILLY KUMAR STAFF WRITER

buzz factor: It’s clear from an initial glance at the album art that there’s something different about Lana Del Rey’s sixth full-length album, “Norman F— Rockwell.” Unlike the cover art of every other album she has released, she isn’t the only figure who populates it: Her arm is wrapped around model Duke Nicholson who stares stoically and expressionless into the sea beyond them. Rather than a plain or vaguely symbolic background behind her, the background of the “Norman F— Rockwell” cover art is detailed: The American flag flies behind them beneath the mast of their sailboat and in front of the sea and the sky. Rather than a moody stare or a blank expression, Del Rey herself reaches out to the camera, recognizing the audience, almost as if she is trying to invite her listeners to come with her on a journey. On “Norman F— Rockwell,” Del Rey has found her ground. It’s a deeply personal album that she made primarily with one close collaborator, Jack Antonoff. This sets it a mile away from her 2017 release “Lust for Life,” which featured a range of notable artists including A$AP Rocky, Sean Ono Lennon and Stevie Nicks. Del Rey’s voice is at the center

of every track; Antonoff’s inf luence feels inaudible. Her half-literary and emotionally infused style of writing shines through like a gem. “If you hold me without hurting me, you’ll be the first whoever did,” she sings in “Cinnamon Girl.” Her dreamy, breathy vocals haven’t changed since “Born To Die.” It’s hard to disaggregate the individual tracks on “Norman F— Rockwell.” It’s amazingly difficult to pick favorites, and when listening in any order the whole of it hits you like a pile of bricks. For better or worse, the experience of listening to “Norman F— Rockwell” is like allowing Del Rey to trap you in her world until you force yourself out. Piece by piece, the album tells the story of where she is in her life right now. Through poetic lyrics and allusions to songs, places and past versions of herself, she lays every piece of herself into the album. Her nostalgic and purposefully naive American patriotism has overcome its brutal melodrama. The American flag she draped over herself and flew above her head while riding a motorcycle across the desert in the “Ride” era doesn’t overpower her songs anymore; the flag imagery in “Norman F— Rockwell” is muted and largely set in the backSEE LANA | 3B
