The Illinois State Police performed an identification check at five local bars on Friday, Oct. 13, and 23 citations were issued. Assisted by the Champaign Police Department, the purpose of the ID check was to deter underage drinking, according to a release sent out Oct. 17. Among the list were: KAM’s with six citations, Joe’s with 10, Brothers with two, the Clybourne with zero and Red Lion with four. One citation was issued in a “street sweep.” Those issued a citation for fake IDs are facing the suspension of driver’s licenses, which could last a year or longer. Minors charged with consumption, purchase or possession of alcohol “face a one year suspension of their driver’s license,” according to the report. The checks were funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Ending the stigma

Although the University’s College of Engineering has been traditionally male dominated, the gender discrepancy has been significantly narrowed in recent years. The College of Engineering was 15 percent women about 10 years ago, but the number has grown to 20 percent now, said Bill Bell, executive director of marketing and communications of the college. Devin Oliver, junior in Business, created a visual representation of data regarding gender discrepancies in different colleges and majors at the University. “There’s so much information; I think it’s really interesting information as well,” Oliver said. “You would expect the engineering majors will be quite male dominated, but I kind of wanted to see over the years, has it gotten better?” Oliver said a lot of what he’s seen is consistency over the last few years. “You see progress; it’s slow progress, as in maybe it goes from having 8 percent female in a major to maybe 15 (percent),” he said. “So that’s progress, but it’s a slow road to getting to that more equal gender diversity.” There has been a lot of improvement in gender diversity within the college, Bell said. However, the last two freshman classes in the college were 25 percent women, he said. “We’ve seen a real acceleration in the number of women in the freshman class,” he said. “That’s a really promising sign for it, certainly.

The fate of undocumented students all over the U.S. is uncertain, but the Illinois Student Government says it wants to provide support in any way it can. ISG and the executive department said they wanted to focus on many different levels when dealing with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals: student, administration, state and federal levels said Chief of Staff Spencer Haydary, senior in LAS. “We focused on calling upon the administration to do several different initiatives, and we also tried
to get some undocumented ally training for student government members,” Haydary said. “(We) pressured the UIUC administration to provide mental health resources for DACA recipients. Their lives are in jeopardy at this point. They are uncertain of what the future is going to be.” Speaker of the Senate Sam LeRoy, senior in Business, said the resolution discussed if ISG should pursue financial aid for students affected and provide support to La Casa Cultural Latina in helping these students. La Casa is holding ally training sessions for faculty and staff on how to help

students affected by DACA. La Casa has opened up the fall training session to ISG members for them to better understand how to help undocumented students, said Haydary and LeRoy. Rahul Raju, senior in Engineering, was one of the sponsors of the resolution and is continuing to stay involved while the executive branch executes the bill. “(The DACA repeal) caused a lot of real genuine anxiety issues and raised a lot of genuine concerns among the people who are affected,” Raju said. “I think it highlights just how pow-
Students struggling with mental health issues may feel uncomfortable utilizing the resources provided on campus because of the social stigmas attached to it. “A lot of people say they don’t want to go to to the Counseling Center because they don’t want people to think they’re crazy,” said English Henderson, junior in LAS. According to a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, over 45 percent of participants surveyed reported believing people with depression were unpredictable and over 20 percent believed people with depression are dangerous. Although the National Institute of Mental Health estimates that nearly 18 percent of people over the age of 18 suffered from a

tively quickly at this point.” According to Bell, the Computer Science department and the Bioengineering department both have 45 percent women in their freshman classes. “We’re pushing parity at that point,” Bell said. Sarah Habib, sophomore in Engineering, said that although she often finds herself to be the only girl in a discussion section, the overall experience of being a female engineering student at the University has been positive. “There are a lot more females in my major than I was expecting, even though it’s still not as many as guys,” she said. “It’s nice seeing other girls, I guess; it’s just that simple.” Habib said she has had a couple of female professors in her engineering classes, and it is an encouraging sign to see. “I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about women in academia, specifically,” she said. “What people like to say is that it’s like a leaky pipe; that girls are dropping out of the path to becoming a professor or some other high-end job every step of the way, so it’s definitely encouraging to see people who have made it through all of those obstacles.” Bell said the number of female faculty members within the College of Engineering has also seen an increase, from 8 percent female faculty in 2007, to having 8 percent female fulltime professors, 14 percent female associate professors and 32 percent female assistant professors in 2016.

Students honor veterans with documentaries BY AILA RAHMAN STAFF WRITER
Nicholas Osborne was once a Coast Guard intelligence officer who served overseas in Kuwait and Iraq, before heading to Champaign. Osborne is now the director of the Chez Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education on campus. The center offers a variety of services for military-connected students, such as those enrolled in the Army, National Guard and more. Those services include career assessment, counseling, physical/ speech therapy, residential services and academic advising. “The center is the most comprehensive resource in the country for military-connected students,” he said. Osborne, and many others like him, are exactly the people Caitlyn Schneeman, junior in Social Work, and Nick McCormick, sophomore in DGS, said they enjoy spending their free time with. At Harlem High School, Schneeman and McCormick were involved in the Harlem Veteran Project,
which entailed going to different veteran events in the community and creating documentaries about veterans. “We both went on a trip called Vets Roll where we go with veterans to Washington, D.C.,” McCormick said. “I think it was a really cool experience for us to connect with veterans and had a lasting effect on us.” The two are starting a similar program this year, called the University of Illinois Veteran Project. Their goal is to interview veterans and then produce documentaries about them for their families or for public use if the veterans so choose. The first veteran McCormick made a documentary for was a Vietnam War veteran who came home from the war to protests, which made the veteran feel unwelcome. “I think it’s OK for people to protest the war, but support for soldiers should be important,” he said. Osborne said there are many assumptions about veterans, such as they engage in heavy combat and kill others, when there are actually a range

of duties in the military, from cooks to search and rescue. Thus, another goal of the project is to provide an outlet for veterans to tell their stories, allowing them to clear up any misconceptions. Schneeman said that by sharing their own perspectives, veterans contribute to the broader narrative of history. “It’s a good way for students who are interested in history or interested in the military to hear stories from a firsthand perspective,” she said. McCormick said the perspectives
of veterans add a personal element to the wars seen on television or read about in textbooks or articles. “I think that sometimes when you’re watching war on the internet or through TV, you lose the human agency that these types of situations can greatly impact people’s lives permanently,” Osborne said. Schneeman and McCormick encourage all veterans, whether active or not, no matter their branch of the military, to share their stories and perspectives and reach out to them. ailar2@dailyillini.com

In an environment where libraries are used more for study time than for actual document research, Grainger Engineering Library is answering students’ needs by sending out hundreds of thousands of print materials in favor of more tables and study spaces.
Grainger removes books to make space BY HAIPEI WU STAFF WRITER
Grainger Engineering Library is pushing out books in favor of more table space due to a large influx of students and the need for study space. Approximately 30,000 print materials have been sent away from Grainger since this past summer, said Mary C. Schlembach, acting head of Grainger Engineering Library. It has been over a one-year project for the library to create more study space for students. “Twenty years ago when Grainger opened, a lot of resources were in print,” Schlembach said. “But with the changing focus on electronic resources versus print, we can send away (print) materials.”

Grainger has sent out around 200,000 volumes over the last five years. The 30,000 items will be the last push of the project. “The materials are not going away. They are going either to the Main Library, or to the Oak Street (Library), which is a high density facility on the west side of the campus,” Schlembach said. The materials sent away will still be accessible. Students and faculty members can check them out online and have them sent back to any library on campus to pick up. “We did a report on things that haven’t been circulated for around 10 years; 2005 is the cutoff,” Schlembach said. “Books that haven’t been circulated since 2005 response through. “I just hope that we can be a model for this country to follow and recognizing that where a person is born does not decide their aptitude,” LeRoy said. “It does not decide how good of a community steward they are, and it should not determine what kind of educational experience they should or should not be able to have.” The senate wants to help not only current students, but future students as well, LeRoy said. “We want to make sure that students that are enrolled in this University can continue to have the full educational and social experience everyone should be able to enjoy here,” LeRoy said. Raju said the senate is backing and providing support for the students that are affected by the repeal of DACA, and those students affected are leading the effort. “It was really the undocumented students who pushed the effort through; they are the leading edge of the effort,” Raju said.
erful the stroke of a pen can be and how much that can mean to a lot of people.” At the state level, ISG is calling Illinois state representatives to support Student Access Bill. This will allow undocumented students to apply for financial aid, said Haydary. At the federal level, ISG said they call upon Illinois representatives to support the Bridge Act to help undocumented students receive the education they deserve. The Bridge Act allows people who received work authorization and temporary relief for deportation through DACA to remain in the U.S., according to the National Immigration Law Center website. Haydary said there is a strong collaboration within the senate itself and with the students to support the resolution. He said he believes this is a landmark piece of legislation and is very happy with how it turned out. LeRoy said he is excited that ISG is pushing this coridl2@dailyillini.com

HEALTH mental illness in 2015, students remain reluctant to seek help or acknowledge they are suffering from a mental disorder. “The denial part is huge,” Henderson said. “They think that they’re just having a bad day, but when every day is a bad day, I think it can be a little deeper.” Depression, often characterized by persistent feelings of hopelessness, lack of energy and negative thoughts, can hinder a sufferer’s ability to complete everyday functions. Despite its prevalence, stud-
ies show that depression is a highly treatable disease. Cognitive behavioral therapy sometimes paired with antidepressant medication are powerful tools that allow people to prevent the illness from escalating out of control. “I have friends who have attempted suicide before,” said Lauren Broderick, sophomore in ACES. “They have experience with the Counseling Center. It’s a great resource on campus.” According to the Center for Disease Control, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for 15-to-24 year olds in the United States. “Depression is a serious problem nationwide,
are canned and moved out.” The materials being sent away also include journals that are available online. With the removal of the print materials, Grainger is currently relocating shelves to create more space. “We are shifting the entire collection backwards,” Schlembach said. “The study tables would be moved to where the bookshelves are.” The need for more study space is caused by the increase in students that study in Grainger, as the gate counts have doubled over the last five years, according to Joseph HallIngram, library specialist of Grainger.

GENDER and continue to study engineering is often limited by a variety of factors, including personal and societal expectations, awareness of opportunities and role models, quality of academic preparation and availability of encouragement. “The under-representation of women in engineering is found not only at the college level but also in industry, management and academia,” Wolters wrote. “The Women in Engineering program, along with the College of Engineering and specific departments in the College, works to provide equal access and experiences for all students to study engineering.” Bell said it is important to

on and off college campuses. It certainly affects college students,” said Tom Miebach, clinical counselor and crisis triage case manager at the Counseling Center. Miebach said the center has never turned anyone away and that students can make same-day appointments to see a clinical counselor. Some students turn to online forums on Reddit and Facebook to express their problems. “People feel suicidal when whatever kind of psychological pain they feel has become overwhelming,” Miebach said. “For those who might find online mediums a more comfortable way to express
at Grainger as a graduate assistant last August. She said among libraries on campus, Grainger is the most popular study place for students. “Grainger is such a busy place. It is so filled with students that I always have something to do,” Peterson said. It also has been a general trend on campus for libraries to shift the books to accommodate a higher student volume. “The Main Library is doing some shifting around (to) create more study spaces, and ACES library would be relocating shelves to accommodate more student activities,” Schlembach said. hwu61@dailyillini.com
remember the great impact the women engineers from Illinois, and from all over the country, are driving for great research and great improvements to our lives. “That diversity is driving those improvements and helping make them have as great an impact as possible to as many people out in the world as possible, and so we value that 100 percent,” he said. Bell said the college is trying to improve not only the numbers, but also the experience. Oliver said it is interesting to see how gender norms and gender roles play out in the classroom and in the communities. “Having a balance of genders within the classroom really helps to bring out perspective, because we do walk this earth differently as of today, because people are treated differently based on their genders,” Oliver said. “Just having all people represented in classrooms is a really important thing, and when we see more gender-diverse classrooms, it makes us better students.” karenl3@dailyillini.com
themselves, that might be a reason why they go in that direction as opposed to calling somebody.” Deidre Weathersby, associate director of outreach and prevention at the Counseling Center, said that Nichole Evans, the assistant media and communications director for the center, works on online student outreach. Although the Counseling Center doesn’t provide interactive responses online, Evans posts information about the center’s services on public forums that can reach individuals she believes could benefit from that knowledge. If the Counseling Center
the chapter and talks to them to see how their semester is going. “(We have) periodic updates throughout the semester to try to see how the guys are doing, and if they need help, to make sure that we get to them,” he said. Stoll also said this fraternity is unique in the fact that they allow freshmen to live in their house. “We take that pretty seriously, and we try to make that a really good opportunity for them to learn from older guys about maybe the classes that they’re taking that we can help them out with, or with job searches, career fairs, etc.,” he said. With respect to jobs, many fraternities offer members opportunities to connect with alumni, build their resumes and career advising. “We do have an active alumni network … We have a LinkedIn page which we get all of our members to follow … Beyond that, we do have resume critiques that go on,” Pinsky said. “We have certain brothers in the house who are very good at looking over resumes, trying to figure out what your talents are and trying to emphasize them through your resume, cover letter, etc.” Stoll said he went to freshmen rooms a couple days prior to the Engineering Career Fair and gave members tips on how to present themselves, what kind of impression they want to give off, what they should do and what the career fair is all about. Stephen Lee, director of advocacy and outreach for Phi Kappa Theta, said the opportunity to hold elected positions in leadership within chapters of Phi Kappa Theta across the country shows experience and positive qualities on a resume that can’t necessarily be found elsewhere. “Experience in the fraternity often is helpful in job interviews, especially for new graduates who might not have an extensive job experience,” he said. “Chapters often hold workshops to train members in resume building and interview best practices.” As a result of all the training and networking fraternities provide for their members, individuals are more likely to be more prepared for interviews and have higher prospects of getting a job. “Just getting in a fraternity is a big deal, and it can kind of be a major advantage if members make it that way,” Stoll said.
Fraternities on campus are actively working to ensure their members are receiving the proper resources they need to succeed academically, leading to better job prospects. The overall grade point average of college fraternity members suffers by 0.25 points by joining, yet their post-graduate incomes rise by 36 percent, according to a recent study. This statistic was published by two economists from Union College in Schenectady, New York in their research paper titled, “Social Animal House: The Economic and Academic Consequences of Fraternity Membership.” The study surveyed almost 4,000 college graduates with full-time jobs and factored in variables such as age, gender and ethnicity. The results concluded that while GPAs may suffer slightly, fraternity membership produces large gains in social capital. There are more opportunities for networking, and many fraternities also provide academic support alongside the social connections that have the potential to last for several years. Joe Pinsky, sophomore in Business and secretary of the University Delta chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said they incentivize their members to have a higher GPA. “We have an incentive system in place so that individuals who get above their major’s GPA then receive points that are allocated to various benefits in the house,” he said. Pinsky said that while Alpha Epsilon Pi is an active social fraternity, they still provide academic support and structure, including study hours for new members. According to University spring 2017 grade reports, Alpha Epsilon Pi has the highest average GPA among its members, at a 3.55. Nathaniel Stoll, junior in Engineering and president of Beta Sigma Psi, said his fraternity requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 to even pledge. To be an active member of the fraternity, they also require a specific GPA standard. According to grade reports, Beta Sigma Psi comes in fourth, with an average GPA of 3.33. Stoll said Beta Sigma Psi has a system in place where members have two grade checks per semester. An academic chairman sits down with all of the members in sshukl5@dailyillini.com

sees something concerning, they coordinate with police to conduct a welfare check. “Crisis-trained officers would respond, interview a person, check on their safety and if needed transport to the hospital for further evaluation,” Miebach said.

Trump is weaponizing the flag AUSTIN STADELMAN COLUMNIST
T
raditionally, the American flag serves as a physical symbol for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Even in politics, liberals and conservatives alike promote the democratic views of the United States and the flag that represents it. Though controversies about the flag have persisted since our nation’s birth, President Donald Trump has renewed the debate. An increase in divisiveness on what it means to stand for the flag is an unprecedented political strategy that sacrifices longterm stability of the common good for short-term political expediency. Last Tuesday, the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team failed to qualify for the World Cup with a 2-1 loss to Trinidad and Tobago. This loss prevents millions of Americans from rallying around the symbol of the American flag for a universally desired cause by Americans of all races, ethnicities and economic circumstances. It is only poetic that in the age of Trump, which can be described as one of the most divisive and controversial administra-
tions in U.S. history, that the U.S. will not be able to unite for one of the two things that all, if not most, Americans want to achieve (the other being the Olympics) — even if that thing is just a sporting event, albeit one of the largest and most celebrated in the world. President Trump’s recent tweets and public statements have included an overwhelming amount of attention toward the flag, specifically marking protesters who choose to kneel during the national anthem. Given that the initial reason for these protests was to spread awareness of police brutality, statistically speaking, all of the participating athletes have been black and almost all of the support for these protests have come from the left. Trump’s amplification of the protests essentially wage a cultural war on liberals or any political identity that shares common sentiment with these protestors, claiming that their actions are un-American. The Trump administration has even taken it so far as to stage a taxpayer funded walk-out of an Indianapolis Colts game by Vice President Mike Pence. All these actions, observed more carefully, can be clearly identified as a political ploy to double down on the white nationalist vote by painting democrats, leftists, blacks
or all of the aforementioned as un-American. If you were to go on Twitter, you would think that this is politically foolish and a failing strategy. But the reality is that most Americans, whether it is in public or in private, tacitly consent to this motive and therefore allow it to persist. This aim for shortterm gains and a re-election bid may be effective in the present, but it is detrimental to the commonwealth of the U.S. going forward. The U.S. cannot allow a nationalistic ideology that promotes isolationism and protectionism with tones of white supremacy to harness the most iconic symbol of the United States. This illwilled strategy corrupts the values on which America was founded upon. The dangers of allowing a universal symbol to represent a minority — a small but powerful, nationalistic movement — can be found in the stability of our union. As President Trump continues to attempt to push his political opponents out of the field of what it means to be “American,” it leads to ideological backlash and anti-American sentiment. The more divided and destructive the two sides of the political spectrum is, the higher the chance for President Trump to win reelection. At the end of the day, people are going to act
in self-preservation according to what they believe benefits them. Most people believe in the idea of America and the values of liberal democracy that come with it. The issue is that it is incredibly easy to attach these principles to objects to represent them. Objects like a flag can represent ideas that a vast majority of Americans, liberals or conservatives, can agree with — ideas such as honoring veterans. The president is then able to twist the flag’s representation to something else while simultaneously including a universally accepted value with it. It’s incredibly easy to point to an individual protesting an injustice by not standing for a universal symbol and then accuse them of disrespecting an idea that is universally accepted though unrelated to the reasoning of the protest. As the United States seems to pull itself from pragmatism and more so to ideology, the cultural war for what the flag means and weaponizing it for individual agendas tears at the fabric of our republic. Time will tell if this is a blip in a strategy for an unorthodox presidency or if it leads to a more serious, dangerous movement in the United States.

EDITORIAL
Apartment leasing companies cannot always be trusted
It
has come to the attention of the Editorial Board that apartment leasing companies on campus and the surrounding areas have been known to swindle students leasing with them. These companies typically pivot their power against students rather than assist them. As many students do not have cars and parking spaces on campus are limited, leasing companies also take advantage of a student’s need to live close to campus. Like many mundane adult activities, college kids are new to independent living, which makes them vulnerable and open to manipulation. It is easy to take advantage of a population that doesn’t know how to properly inspect a potential apartment or weigh the value of seemingly cheap rent. Apartment leasing companies need to stop preying on the college
population and be more transparent in their business processes. Even as we near Halloween, nothing is scarier than the horror stories of the bad leasing companies that plague campus. We’ve heard it all: stories of companies with online applications that charge you twice if you exit out and reopen the application to finish it and stories of security deposits that go missing. Oh, and there’s often confusion following the end of a lease regarding owed money back. Apparently, you have to tell certain leasing companies to process your check, or they will never send it to you or remind you about it. But none of these complaints come close to hygiene. It’s become universal that leasing companies tell tenants that their apartments will be cleaned thoroughly before they move in, only for the tenants to arrive on move-in day to discover dirty apartments that have clearly never been cleaned.
For the rent price that many of these apartments cost, including a one month’s rent security deposit, it is disappointing and frustrating to students to have to move into a dirty apartment. Going back to the dorms looks like a dream with every passing day. Some companies will promise students a reduction if they get a certain number of friends to sign; however, they rarely follow through on the deal. The main rule we have learned over the years of apartment leasing is that you have to get everything in writing before you sign your lease. Did an employee tell you that there were semester-long leases? Get it in writing. Were you promised cheaper rent during a negotiation session? Get it in writing. Leasing companies will often backtrack on their word if they’re given the chance. Don’t be afraid to negotiate the
price of rent either. Even if it does not work, there is no harm in trying to lower the rate initially presented. Remember: You have the power in leasing agreements. With so many campus apartment options, the companies need you more than you need them. So don’t be afraid in waiting to sign your new lease. Often, leasing companies will tell you that you have to sign by a certain date. This is not always true. They’re the same companies struggling to fill apartments and rooms at the last minute — sometimes even with a reduced price tag. It’s a little ridiculous that these companies aren’t honest and transparent without a little prodding. However, there is likely little to be done on a college campus with so many apartments nearby and students desperate for a place to live. Just be aware that these companies are not always honest, and do your research before you get taken for a ride, too.

FILM rekindle in the family’s lakeside chalet after she kidnaps her from Elisabeth. Their isolation lets the audience focus on the characters’ interactions without any distraction. Schroeder and her co-writer, Marie Nimier, worked on the script in two separate stays at the lake where“Barrage” was later filmed. “It ’s rea lly helpf ul because you can write and see your location at the same time,” Schroeder said. Much of the characters’ history is left unknown to the audience. Schroeder wanted the story to focus on the present, thus avoiding explaining too much of the characters’ history with one another. She wanted to avoid, in her words,“too many explanations and that was one of the challenges in writing, in knowing exactly how much information you needed in the backstory. And all the rest that you didn’t, I wanted to keep out.” Having a biological mother and daughter playing Elisabeth and Catherine wasn’t a part of Schroeder’s vision when she began writing the story. However, once the actresses were cast, she found inspiration in Huppert’s relationship with her daughter. “I think if it wouldn’t have been those two, it would have been a very different film and a very dif ferent relationship between those two characters,” explained Schroeder. “There’s a beauty in it and there’s something that comes out beyond what has been written.” Tennis is a substantial part of all of three of the women’s lives. Elisabeth pushes both Catherine and Alba in their training, which is a struggle for both characters and poses as a metaphor for their relationships. “I feel like tennis more than other sports is about the player,” Schroeder said. “The player is somehow his own opponent, and it’s always a struggle against yourself before it becomes a struggle against your opponent on the other side of the net.” After the second “Barrage” screening opening weekend, several audience members expressed their appreciation to Schroeder after the post-screening discussion. One man
interrupted our interview to tell Schroeder: “Many stories about women are about their relationship with men and responding to men, or how they are in relation to a man. It’s wonderful to see a story of three generations of women and how they all related to each other. So I wanted to thank you for that.” Schroeder nodded in appreciation. mgalass2@dailyillini.com
“The Square”: The savage is loose BY TYLER PANLILO
For Terry Notary, motion capture is second nature. In addition to being a movement coach and stunt coordinator, the California native has appeared in all three “Planet of the Apes” reboots, “The Hobbit” series and “Kong: Skull Island.” But he rarely, if ever, appears on screen as himself. As a “mo-cap” specialist, Notary performs in a special suit equipped with motion sensors, also known as trackers. His movements and facial expressions are then digitally animated. Notary turns heads in Ruben Östlund’s latest film, “The Square,” a Swedish-German-French co-production, and for good reason. While the film hysterically emphasizes modern art and media, there’s no motion capture involved here — just raw acting ability. Set in Stockholm, “The Square” follows Christian, a contemporary art museum curator and his outlandish search for his stolen possessions after being pickpocketed on the street. Along the way, the film illustrates all walks of life, from homeless beggar to prestigious celebrity. Notary ’s show-stealing performance isn’t featured until the last fourth of the film. He signals the crucial mood shift as Oleg, who appears earlier in the film as part of the museum video installation. He’s the featured entertainment at a fancy museum dinner party. This becomes one of the most uncomfortable experiences in modern cinema. An announcer tells the crowd: Welcome to the jungle! Then Notary appears, walking on all fours, an ape in human form. He intimidates lesser males out of the ballroom, and at one point, drags a female guest by her hair. Östlund and Notary want you to remember this
scene. And you will. “Playing as an ape is exactly what you don’t want to do,” Notary told me after the Chicago film festival screening, at the bar outside the third-floor theater. “You don’t want to play in ape, you want to drop into a deep, deep part of yourself. And when you sort of shed all the bull---- — sorry for my language — you take (away) all the crap, all the superfluous stuff, all the pretense, all the social life, conditioning, sense of self and the identity you have about you are.” And although it’s just Notary with his shirt off, his technique still shines. The camera focuses on his back muscles as he walks on all fours. The entire crowd is silent as he grunts and shouts. Östlund crafts this scene as something beautifully disturbing. “Reuben is a special director,” the performer said. “He is an observer of life, he likes to look at life through the eyes of a child and with a little sense of humor. And he likes to say, ‘Look at us! Look at how we are. Isn’t this ridiculous? Let’s all laugh at ourselves a little bit, together.’ And he presents situations that allow you to go, ‘That is ridiculous, but that is exactly what I would do!’ And it takes everyday things and he put a different lens on it so that you can actually see it, and see it in a way that is self-reflective.” “The Square” opens in various U.S. cities starting on Oct. 27. tylerjp2@dailyillini.com

are his mother and daughter in real life. “The film came out of conversations,” said Wein, in an interview after the Saturday showing at the Chicago film festival screening in downtown Chicago. In the film, Reggie, Jerod’s best friend, is shot to death by a law enforcement officer. “(That’s) representative of every black man that’s killed by the police,” he said. “Blueprint” shows reallife scenarios in the black community. Police brutality, poverty, alcoholism and relationships are all current pressing issues. The open-endedness of the film is relatable, because there are no definite answers to these issues. The film addresses methods of coping with issues by alcohol abuse and cigarette consumption. The actors smoke throughout the film. “And I don’t smoke,” actor and co-writer, Jerod Haynes told me. “After we got done filming, it took me a while to kick it.” Added Wein: “It’s like self-medication. It’s a way to just numb yourself and that’s what his character is going through. He’s trying to not deal with the pain directly, that’s why he’s drinking away his sorrows and pains. The smoking is just an extension of that.” During the Q&A, Haynes was asked about commenting on the constant state of terror throughout the film, and the threat of violence on all sides of his character’s life. “I believe a man’s identity is tied to work. If a man is depressed it’s probably because he’s not working. That’s a spiral effect. Now, I am trying to climb out of the gutter. That’s what a lot of men go through. The problem is we don’t go see anybody. We don’t talk to anybody about this. We don’t see therapists. In the black culture, a lot of us think going to see a therapist is crazy. ‘You’re telling somebody your problems?’ A lot of us carry those burdens and pains.” Half of us, the “Blueprint” star said, “are walking around with PTSD, if we want to keep it real. A lot of us don’t know how to deal with that s---. We’re just walking around with it.” “Blueprint ” screens one more time, 1:30 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 18, during the Chicago International Film Festival.
Filmed on Chicago’s South Side, “Blueprint” tells the story of Jerod, an African-American man who loses his job, girlfriend and best friend. Povertystricken and suffering from alcoholism, Jerod does not know what direction his life is taking him; as the character points out, there is no blueprint. Director and co-writer Daryl Wein’s film attempts to heighten the realism of its characters by not using a conventional script. The improvised film used four professional actors; the rest of the cast being family and friends of Jerod, whose real name is Jerod Haynes.

Kevin Troy, sophomore in FAA, has dyed his hair pink in the outline of the breast cancer ribbon every October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, for several years. Troy’s mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when he was young, and she died a little over a year ago.
THINK PINK:
Students take part in breast cancer awareness month BY PARI APOSTOLAKOS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Kevin Troy, sophomore in FAA, was in third grade when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She spent years battling the hardest fight of her life. Troy was with her every step of the way. She lost the battle a little over a year ago. “It was just something that I grew up knowing ,” Troy said. One in 8 women who live in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime, according to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. October is widely known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Because of this, the month carries great meaning for some students at the University. Catherine Vitale’s mother is also a breast cancer survivor. Vitale, freshman in DGS, was 4 years old when her mother was initially diagnosed. She said she is proud of her mom and her fight. “She hopes to inspire women to be strong if they happen to have breast cancer,” Vitale said. “She also wants many to get involved to work towards finding a cure.” Vitale’s mom helps others deal with breast cancer because she knows what they are going through. “She embraces the scar on her chest as it reminds her of her bravery and she tells me she will never be embarrassed of it,” Vitale said. “Her positive outlook on her experience shows me that this disease can be overcome.” Vitale said it is important for students to take interest in Breast Cancer Awareness Month so they know the signs of breast cancer. That way, if
students do find something unusual, it can be treated in the early stages. She also said students can learn how to fundraise for an important cause and to show sympathy toward families of those with breast cancer. Troy said his mother’s death is what “shifted the perspective” he had about the disease. Her passing is what made him realize that breast cancer is still an extremely dangerous condition. He said his mom never made her cancer that big of a deal and that he barely remembers her taking off work. Troy has dyed the back of his hair pink in the outline of the breast cancer ribbon every October for several years to raise awareness. This November, Troy is participating in a three-day walk in San Diego through the Susan G. Komen Foundation. He said one of the things he and his mom always talked about was doing the walk. “It was something that I never got to do with my mom,” Troy said. His mother passed away before Troy met the age requirement to participate. This encouraged him to take the leap and participate on his own. Troy said he has raised $3,000 so far, and his group has raised just under $5,000. He is continuing to fundraise through Facebook. Although Vitale’s mother is no longer battling cancer, she still makes efforts to support those who are and those working toward finding a cure. Her family holds an annual garage sale and the money raised is donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Vitale also participates in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and the Relay for Life.

Troy will travel to San Diego for the three-day Susan G. Komen walk in November, which he wanted to do with his mom but didn’t get the chance to.
Domingo Casanova, junior in Media and Illini Media Company employee, said his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. Casanova said more should be done around campus to call attention to the significance of October. He suggested wrapping pink ribbons around trees as a symbol to acknowledge the month. “I believe college students should take an interest (in raising awareness for breast cancer) because it is the most commonly detected breast cancer in women,” Casanova said. “Obviously, college students may not take an interest now because we’re all so young, but it’s still very important to know it exists and impacts a lot of people, like our own parents.”
Vitale has positive memories of her mother’s battle with breast cancer. She said her community did a wonderful and meaningful job in supporting her mom. “The teachers of our elementary school volunteered to trade off making my siblings and I lunches,” Vitale said. Vitale said it was humbling to see the community offer support for her entire family. “Knowing so many people care about a victim of breast cancer and their family is moving to me,” she said. “I hope everyone can experience the joy of beneficially impacting others in the way I did.” parina2@dailyillini.com

SAAC gives athletes opportunity to lead off the court BY MEGHAN REST STAFF WRITER
Junior Beth Prince looked beyond the volleyball court to improve the campus she calls home. Two years ago, Prince volunteered to represent the Illinois volleyball team on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Since then, her involvement has cultivated into a role on the executive board as secretary. The committee is administered by the Department of Athletics and is composed of at least two representatives from each varsity sport. In addition to Prince, junior Ali Bastianelli and sophomore Jacqueline Quade are also members of the committee. Every year the committee puts on food drives, student body outreach events and inter-sport activities
like Jock Jams. Prince said that SAAC is a way for her to support the team and the school she loves. “I really love this place, and I was like, ‘How can I get more involved other than just being on this team,’” Prince said. “So, being on SAAC was one of the first steps in that I guess. Then running for exec was just the next stepping stone in that.” According to Prince, the volleyball team has always been heavily involved in the organization. Although every team aims to be involved, she said that the volleyball athletes tend to go above and beyond, especially when it comes to helping the surrounding community. “I hope volleyball can conSEE VOLLEYBALL | 3B

Smalling’s confidence helps team through tough season BY MIKE GASICK STAFF WRITER
The Illinois football team’s confidence is nothing like what it was after its Week 2 victory against Western Kentucky. The Illini have lost fourstraight games since then to drop to 2-4. Offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said some of his
players have not possessed the same confidence that some of their younger teammates have shown. McGee said one player in particular stands out as having shown genuine confidence — freshman wide receiver Ricky Smalling. “He’s got extreme confidence — something that we don’t have a whole lot of right
now,” McGee said. “We have a lot of guys who are very talented, but just true, core confidence they don’t have. Ricky has that.” McGee said he has called timeouts in the past in which Smalling approached him to question how much the offense wants to move the ball. He wants the ball in his
hands. It’s that passion that has given McGee and the team reason to be hopeful for what lies in the future. Smalling said he doesn’t know if he would be playing college football if it wasn’t for his confidence. The freshman was a threeSEE FOOTBALL | 3B

The feeling of being on the cusp of success can be a double-edged sword: You are close to achieving your goals, but at the same time you are unable to take anything for granted without wasting the hard work already put in to succeed.
This is the position Illinois soccer head coach Janet Rayfield finds her team in as it heads into Saturday’s game at Michigan. “I think we’re right below the surface of where we need to be,” Rayfield said. “It’s connect one more pass, it’s find one more passing channel, it’s communicate a
little bit better, and if there’s one thing this group could do to improve their play on the field it’s to improve their communication.” When she says her team needs to communicate better, Rayfield isn’t strictly talking about verbal comSEE SOCCER | 3B
With a majority underclassmen team, Illinois women’s cross country has had one focus this season: growing both as runners and as a team. Freshman Nicki Cast has served as the epitome of that goal, racking up several impressive races. On Friday, Cast ran a mile pace of 6:04 to finish her first 6,000-meter race of her Illini career finishing with a time of 22:35. Cast’s 6:04 pace marks a new personal best for her, as she ran a second faster than her previous best at the Greater Louisville Classic. Cast is used to running the 5,000-meter race, but she appeared unfazed by the extra 1,000 meters. “Honestly, I thought it was going to be a lot different,” Cast said. “I thought it would feel so
much longer but I didn’t even notice it until I saw the home stretch and different times.” Cast also set a personal record last week, and her improvement throughout the season is anything but negligible. After finishing with a time of 19:02 in the 5,000-meter race at the Eastern Illinois Walt Crawford Open in her Illini debut, she shaved 12 seconds off her time to finish fourth for the Illini the following week at the Coast to Coast Battle in Beantown. Cast has been positive about her and the rest of the team’s improving times. “It always feels awesome to continue running faster,” Cast said. “I think it just shows that the training we’re doing is working, and everyone keeps improving, so it continues to be a huge confidence booster for me.”

In addition to recording her personal best time last weekend, Cast also came up huge scoring wise, finishing second for the Illini and 64th overall, en route to a sixth place finish as a team. “It’s always awesome directly helping the team out by scoring points,” Cast said. “So to be one of the top runners to score was pretty great, and it felt even better knowing that everyone else had a great race too.” Although she will not race in the Illini Open, the first and only home meet for the Illini this season, Cast and several other runners on the team have their sights set on the Big Ten Championships in Bloomington, Indiana, on Sunday, Oct. 29. Despite it being the first postseason meet of her college career, Cast remains confident in herself and the team going in. “This past race was a huge confidence booster,” Cast said. “I’ll be going into Big Ten’s knowing that I’m improving, and if we continue to run well, we’ll be prepared to race well and score well as a team too.” @jaredefarmer jaredef2@dailyillini.com

Crawford has what the Illini need: consistency. He made his career debut on special teams and continued in the role through his sophomore season, playing a total of 19 games in that time and starting in four. In his sophomore season, Crawford racked up 36 tackles and forced a single fumble on Ohio State. As a junior, the Deerfield, Florida, native missed the last four games of his season due to injury, but had made an appearance in every game prior, including three consecutive starts at linebacker in the first three games. This season, the now-senior is the starting defensive end. He made his first career sack and career-high 2.0 TFLs against Nebraska.
This was not supposed to be Demry Croft’s offense. But after six games — and three consecutive losses — it is. The Golden Gophers have a bit more flexibility with Croft at the helm rather than senior Conor Rhoda, as Croft presents a running threat on top of his passing game. Against Michigan State, Rhoda failed to get the offense moving at all, and Croft got the nod to take over the offense midway through the second quarter. The results were tangible, although not enough to get the win against the Spartans. Croft entered the game and struggled to get much going — that is, until the third quarter when he connected with Tyler Johnson for a 28-yard touchdown catch with 11:55 to go in the fourth quarter. Croft threw two more passing touchdowns to make the game much closer, but ultimately, Minnesota ran out of time.

Lovie Smith vs. P.J. Fleck Lovie Smith and P.J. Fleck are two coaches still adapting to new programs, even though it is Smith’s second season at Illinois. Their track records are mixed so far, with Fleck’s 3-3 record easily besting Smith’s 5-13 start in charge of the Illini. The two coaches are polar opposites. Smith is known for being a soft-spoken man who barely gives the press a shred of information. Fleck is infamous for his spontaneity, his energy and of course, his catchphrase: “Row the boat”. For Fleck, a win would bring his team within reach of bowl eligibility at 4-3 heading into a tough stretch at Iowa and Michigan the following two weeks, and for Smith, a victory would bring hope to a crestfallen program that is starving for an injection of positivity. Smith is known as a coach who primarily focuses on having a sound defense, while Fleck’s teams have traditionally boasted explosive offenses. How the Illini deal with the road atmosphere and the Golden Gophers’ offensive schemes will be a crucial factor in deciding this contest on Saturday.

On the other side it is not so gloomy, as Minnesota has seen some solid production in the run game. Ranked 60th in rushing offense, the Golden Gophers have put up 1,024 yards on 261 total carries, averaging 170.7 yards per game. Led by junior Rodney Smith, who has put up 442 yards on 119 carries and two touchdowns so far, the Minnesota offense can do some damage on the ground. Smith gets support from fellow junior Shannon Brooks, who has scored five touchdowns while supplying the team with 322 additional rushing yards. If Smith and Brooks have a productive outing, expect Minnesota to control the clock and have its way with the Illinois defense.

With promising freshman running back Mike Epstein on crutches and ruled out for the season, things look bleak for the Illinois running back corps. Ranked 109th in the nation in rushing offense, Illinois will struggle to continue averaging its already-unimpressive 118.3 yards per game, and it will be difficult to improve from the team’s mediocre 3.92 yards-per-carry average. Though Ra’Von Bonner has shown some promise, he will now have to carry much of the rushing load, along with Reggie Corbin and Kendrick Foster, who will get more carries now out of necessity.

munication. She additionally wants her team to work on its cognizance of each individual moment. “It’s not just talking, it’s being aware of what’s going on,” Rayfield said. “I think that is something that we’ll focus on this week, proactive communication that is gonna help us with that one extra moment in the game.” In preparation for Michigan (5-5-6 overall, 2-4-3 Big Ten), Rayfield is focusing on helping the team establish habits that will lay the foundation for future success. “We’re going to play a team fighting for their position. We’re going to go in and fight to finish the season on a positive note,” Rayfield said. “The future of this program: That’s what were gonna focus on.” While the season has been tough for Illinois thus far, Michigan has endured similar struggles, accumulating the same amount of conference victories. However, the Wolverines have been able to hold on to three draws in the conference, which allows them to narrowly sit above the Illini in the standings. The Wolverines will be led by junior forward Reilly Martin, who has five goals and five assists this season, as well as freshman midfielder Sarah Stratigakis, with three goals and five assists of her own. Michigan is currently riding a three game losing skid, including its last two at the hands of arch rivals Ohio State and Michigan State. Illinois will hope to keep that streak going, but will be without sophomore defender Alicia Barker, who received a red card in Sunday’s defeat to Minnesota. Rayfield made clear that Illinois will turn to the recently healed Lexi Carrier to take Baker’s place. “Fortunately for us, Lexi Carrier, who has been out with an ankle injury, is gonna be back and physically ready to compete,” Rayfield said. “That’s the first option we have in terms of replacing (Baker).” In a conference season where the Illini have been at times noncompetitive, occasionally just good enough to earn a victory, or often times a small-margin below their opponent, one thing has remained constant: Rayfield’s message. “The message that we’re going to send doesn’t change: Get better every day, (and) be the most competitive team we can be on the field,” Rayfield said.
“We’re going to play a team fighting for their position. We’re going to go in and fight to finish the season on a positive note.” JANET RAYFIELD ILLINOIS SOCCER HEAD COACH

Freshman forward Drew Richter was simply playing defense along the right boards when a McKendree Bearcats’ turnover gave him his best scoring opportunity of the night. The puck bounced off the stick of a Bearcats defenseman at the Illini’s blue line. Richter took notice and was off to the races with the puck. There was only one man in his way, McKendree goaltender Andrew Best. “I went to my left just so I could shield the puck off,” Richter said. “I went forehand, backhand because it’s a really easy move on a breakaway and it felt good for the situation. He bit hard, and I five-holed him.” The goal was Richter’s first goal on the weekend, and it gave his team a 2-1 lead in the first period. Richter found the back of the net again in the third period to make it a 6-1 game and help his team move to 8-0 in the season. Already through eight games, Richter has tallied 12 points — five goals and seven assists. The modest winger from Chicago, Illinois gave credit for his successful weekend not to himself, but his veteran line mates. “Cruickshank and Stueve, it’s really easy to play with them,” Richter said. “They’re always open, or if they have the puck, I’m able to get open for them.” In his first season as an Illini, Richter has been playing on one of the top lines alongside senior forwards Eric Cruickshank and Grant Stueve, who have been two staples of the program for the last four years. While a move like that may bring nerves for some newcomers, Richter was not fazed. Since he played junior hockey before he came to the university, Richter felt

Freshman Drew Richter helped the Illini to an 8-0 start to the season with two wins over the McKendree Bearcats over the weekend. The forward scored two goals on Saturday, giving the team a 2-1 lead in the first period. The Illini won 6-1. Head coach Nick Fabbrini said Richter may be the fastest player on the team.
like he already had enough experience. Staying calm and complacent while realizing he has an opportunity at Illinois has helped him make the adjustment, Richter said. All the while, building chemistry with Cruickshank and Stueve on and off the ice has been easy for Richter. “It starts off the ice. I’ve been over to their apartment a lot getting to know them and get comfortable around them,” Richter said. “On the ice, it’s a really easy transition. I like to pass a lot, obviously Cruickshank and
Stueve like to shoot a lot, so I think our games play into each other really well.” Stueve has also been a fan of Richter’s addition to the line. With senior forward James McGing not on the line anymore, Stueve felt they were looking for that last piece of the puzzle to build the team’s depth, and Richter is that piece, Stueve said earlier this season. Going into the year, Illinois head coach Nick Fabbrini knew Richter was going to have a significant impact for his club right off the bat, going as far to say that Rich-
ter may be the fastest player on the team. While the transition to playing with his new teammates has come easy, the transition to club hockey has been different. “Junior hockey is faster than here so I get to take the game a lot slower now,” Richter said. “It’s almost in slow motion now and it’s easier for me to make plays.” Switching over to the wide-ice at the Illinois Ice Arena has made Richter adjust his game, as it makes playing defense much more difficult. However, Rich-
ter said the ice meshes well offensively for him as he is able to utilize his speed more. The Illini will be facing their first real test this year when they travel to Saint Charles, Missouri, to square off against the Lindenwood Lions—a series that will also test Richter. “It’s definitely going to be a big measuring tool for me,” Richter said. “I’m feeling good about the weekend and our team and hopefully make it 10-0.” erichf2@dailyillini.com people don’t have these things that we get to have every day, so it just gives you that perspective.” He said he is thankful his team is able to reach out to the community in a way that does not involve volleyball. “We probably have a quota we’re supposed to (meet),” Tamas said. “But they just go above and beyond it. (The representatives) let us know if something’s going on. I always see (the team) out or see pictures of them out supporting the soccer team or softball, so it’s just a really great aspect of our team too.” Although being an athlete has given members of the Illini volleyball squad opportunities to lead in the game, SAAC pushes the leadership model away from the court. High school clubs gave Prince a template for leadership. But for Bastianelli, the committee gave her an entirely new experience. “I was never really involved in (a lot of things) in high school,” Bastianelli said. “SAAC looks good not only on a resume, but as insight to other sports and things going on around the University.”

star recruit out of Brother Rice High School in Chicago. He noted that he has always been the guy a quarterback trusts to go up and get the ball. “You have to have confidence in yourself,” Smalling said. “Even if you have a drop here and there, you have to have enough confidence to get back up and just be great.” The freshman snagged two jump balls for long receptions against Rutgers. He finished with five catches for 111 yards and a touchdown. McGee said tight end Louis Dorsey is another player who possesses a great amount of confidence. Dorsey is rooming with Smalling in what they call the “817,” referring to their residence hall room number. Dorsey said he and Smalling have similar playing styles. “We’re the future of the team,” Dorsey said. “(Having that confidence), that’s just how we play. We’re just trying to have a positive rest of the season.” Senior wide receiver Malik Turner has also noticed Smalling’s progress early this season. He believes that Smalling is a big factor in the offense now and wonders

We focus on doing stuff like, ‘Hey, this group of people really loves you guys, lets go help them as a team or as an athlete.’” Joining SAAC has given outspoken members of the team a chance to shine off the court, according to head coach Chris Tamas. “There’s lots of different types of leadership you need to have on your team, and (volleyball’s SAAC members) really exemplify being a little bit more vocal and making sure everyone is a little more taken care of,” Tamas said. After being involved in his own athletic counsel at the University of the Pacific, Tamas said life outside of college athletics was put into perspective for him. “When I was a player, I was on one of those committees too, and it lets you grasp that what we’re doing is important here, but some people are still trying to get food and don’t have toys,” Tamas said. “All of these sports@dailyillini.com

how much he can produce in the future. “He’s taking advantage of the opportunity he is given,” Turner said. “He’s got that aggressiveness to go get the ball. He got here a little late in the summer, but he’s caught on and been a major contributor to the offense.” Smalling’s confidence has also caught head coach Lovie Smith’s attention. Not only does Smith like the confidence he has, but he also enjoys the freshman’s physicality on the field. “He’s a big, strong receiver who can really catch the ball,” Smith said. “Looking for some positive things, I

He wants Smalling’s confidence to stay high but not enough to overtake his job. “ W hen (Sma lling ) becomes a junior, I’ll probably have to tell him to get out of my face,” McGee said. “He’ll probably be saying ‘You gotta throw me the ball every time.’” gasick2@dailyillini.com

QUENTIN SHAW THE DAILY ILLINI
Joywave performs at Foellinger Auditorium on Wednesday, Oct. 12. The band brought quirky and fun energy to their performance that paired nicely with the electrifying tracks they performed.
Joywave influenced by ‘Yeezus’ shows are always fun.
BY GRIFFIN BOYLE BUZZ WRITER
“What is a Fighting Illini?” asked Joywave frontman Daniel Armbruster midway through the band’s headlining set at Foellinger Auditorium Oct. 11. The quote perfectly portrays the lighthearted, fun nature present throughout the group. Everything from Armbruster’s mustache to Benjamin Bailey’s piercing keyboard work radiates positivity. Before the electrifying set, buzz got a chance to talk to Armbruster and Bailey about touring, crowd sizes and Kanye West.
buzz: Have you guys ever
played any other college campuses before? How does this time feel different?
Daniel Armbruster: We’ve
played many college campuses before, but this time is different because Foellinger Auditorium is the first concert hall of any of the colleges we’ve played. Usually, we play either outside or in a gym.
Benjamin Bailey: Some of
our first shows ever were actually college shows. We played SUNY-Geneseo pretty early on. College
being an up-and-coming band.
buzz: What was it like
touring with professional bands like Cold War Kids and Young the Giant?
BB: The routing and dates
didn’t really make much sense logistically, but it was just two months of fun. Plus, we got to tour in a bus for the first time, so now we are very spoiled.
buzz: How long have you guys been together?
DA: We’ve officially been
together since 2010, but Paul, Joey and I have been playing together since 2002. We started as a young group of kids playing Blink-182 songs.
buzz:
buzz: I noticed you guys
named your compilation album “Swish” as a reference to Kanye West. What is your guys’ favorite Kanye record and why?
DA: “Yeezus.” Punk-
industrial rap is pretty awesome. It is perhaps not the best for party jams, but it is an awesome piece of music.
BB: “Yeezus” for sure. All
the samples are especially so amazing on that record.
buzz:
What are your guys’ plans for the remainder of 2017 and early 2018?
DA:
What are some of the best We are doing a headline and worst things about being tour in November, and we an up-and-coming band? are hitting Chicago and Indianapolis. This is our first headDA: The best thing is that line run on the new record you haven’t peaked yet. You content, and we are very don’t get fans requesting you excited! to sell out or make a new pop song if you don’t really have Check out the extended version any big chart-topping hits as at readbuzz.com it is. I honestly don’t think there is anything bad about gsboyle2@readbuzz.com

WOMEN’S FALL FASHION GUIDE
Adapt your style this fall BY SHELBI VOSS BUZZ WRITER
Trends are constantly changing, and it can be hard to keep up sometimes. With fall weather coming in full speed, it is time to pull out a new wardrobe. Here is a fashion guide of reliable autumn staples to help you turn heads as you walk through campus this fall.
BUZZ WRITER
Everyone loves a nice, cozy sweater or cardigan. They are the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe because they can never get old. For cold mornings walking through campus, you can always be sure that a cardigan or jacket will block the chilly wind. As the day grows warmer, you can always take it off. The best part about them is that they come in many different patterns, thicknesses, materials and weights. Try to find a maroon or gray to complement the fall style. All sweaters, jackets and cardigans can be dressed up or dressed down to complete any fall outfit.
2. Layering with plain T-shirts
Although leggings can be worn in any season, fall is the ideal time to pull them out. They provide a chill style while still helping you feel like you are not completely

lounging around. Leggings pair with almost any kind of shoe or shirt you want to wear and can match almost any color, pattern or fabric you wear on top.
4. Opting for cute jeans
Even though the idea of leggings every day sounds fantastic, there are days we want to dress up our outfits while still being casual. Jeans are the perfect answer to that. In fall, you can get away with almost any kind of jeans, whether you prefer ripped, light or dark-wash, boot-cut or skinny. A sneaky tip is to find your favorite pair of jeggings and stock up on any color or style you desire. Jeans, like leggings, are easy to pair with any ensemble, so they give you a ton of freedom when you plan your outfits in the mornings.
5. Accessorizing with scarves

Scarves are the perfect accessory to help you stay warm and fashionable. Any infinity scarf helps add to your outfit and pairs well with jackets and cardigans. They can help add a pop of color to your outfit and keep you from freezing on the extra cold days in fall. You can find them in almost any of your favorite clothing stores in any color to add some style to any outfit you feel might be a little bland.
6. Donning a raincoat
As we have already seen, fall can be quite rainy. The perfect way to combat this is to find a cute raincoat in which you can feel comfortable and stay dry. Don’t worry, not all raincoats have to be rubber and yellow like in children’s books. Today, raincoats come in a variety of styles that can range from waist-length to trench-length. My favorite is my North Face raincoat that can be found in many different colors, bulks and keeps me perfectly dry. Just make sure it has a hood for the days you may forget your umbrella.
7. Walking in boots
Fall is the perfect time to pull out your boots. You can choose from a variety of styles like ankle boots or riding boots. Rain boots are also a perfect fashion item to have ready for whatever the weather throws at you while still looking good. A good pair of riding boots always pairs well with cute pictures at the pumpkin farm. My personal favorite, Sperry boots, can match any casual or dressed up outfit you decide to wear on a chilly fall day. savoss2@readbuzz.com

1. Choosing sweaters, cardigans and jackets
Plain T-shirts are essential for fall wardrobes because you can pair them with any cardigan or jacket. White, black and gray are the best to add to your wardrobe because of their flexibility. You can tuck them in or leave them hanging out to complete a comfortable look that can also be dressed up or dressed down, depending on how you are feeling in the morning.
