UI to renovate Engineering facility for $41M BY ASHLEY FU CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The University will give the 68-year-old Mechanical Engineering Building a $41 million modernizing makeover, which is set to be completed in 2021. William Bowman, director of communications for mechanical science and engineering, said they will be renovating the existing space and attaching a five-story building, which includes a student center and a maker space. The renovation will also increase the number of classrooms available. “(The addition) is going to have a big maker space on the lower level for students across campus to be able to use for any dream and aspirations when it comes to innovation,” Bowman said. The maker space will include a computer lab, 3D printers, laser cutters and other tools. Scott James, sophomore

in Engineering, said most of the tools they plan to include in the maker space are already available in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. “It’s nice to have a second space because the MEL is also on the older side and (is) slightly more run-down. I feel like these newer facilities not only are aimed at undergraduate students but especially aimed at those doing research,” James said. The maker space will take over the basement of the new building. The main student center and a coffee shop will be located on the ground level. The top three floors will have active learning classrooms, which give students opportunities for team building. Instead of the chalkboards and singular desks that are currently

The Illinois Student Government Get Out The Vote task force is concerned with the visibility of the primary universal voting location on campus, which is located in Room 404 at the Illini Union. A universal voting location is where students who live anywhere on campus and are registered in the Champaign-Urbana area can vote. Room 404 is also the only early voting location on campus.

ISG task force boosts voting room visibility and is considering putting floor stickers and arrows to direct students to the fourth-floor voting location. The task force hopes its efforts will help students find Room 404 because the fourth-floor location is more difficult to find than rooms on the ground floor, said Kirsten Peterson, junior in LAS and cochair of the task force. She said the task force will be focusing on ways to make the location easier to find when early voting begins on Oct. 25. Rahul Raju, senior in SEE VOTING | 3A

Syeda Fauzi traveled to campus during the week with three separate bags: one for her books, her lunch and her breast pump after her son Fakhry was born in April 2015. Fauzi is entering her final year as a doctorate student in Human Resources Development at the University. Every morning, she’d pack up her supplies, sure to include not just the pump, but bottles to store the milk in and ice packs to keep it cold. Breast pumping was a necessary habit for Fauzi and one she was familiar with from when her first son Faris was born in 2008. However, where Fauzi would actually end up

pumping each day continued to be unknown to her. The study rooms on the silent floor of the Undergraduate Library proved to be her best option. It was central on campus and usually had availability at the times when she’d need it. While the space provided an outlet and a door that would close, Fauzi still had to deal with a lack of privacy. She’d keep her back turned to the door and windows and the drone of her pump, a noise loud enough for other students to hear, would draw the attention of students nearby. Fauzi could make do with the conditions, although they were far from ideal. She noticed she was producing far less milk compared with

when she was breastfeeding her firstborn. According to the American Institute of Architects, the study rooms in the UGL do not suffice for an adequate lactation space, or wellness room. “Wellness rooms should provide, at a minimum, a lockable door, a work surface and chair, a small utility-type sink, storage for cleaning supplies and paper towels, adequate HVAC service and well-placed electrical outlets,” Liz York wrote in a best practice article. For Fauzi, just having a designated space to rely on and not having to chance all the study rooms being occupied, even without all the recommended components, would have made her

life a lot simpler. “Not having this lactation space slowed me down a little bit where sometimes I’d get frustrated and go, ‘You know what, I’ll just go home,’” Fauzi said. The need to always be thinking ahead about lactation spaces brought Fauzi unneeded stress, but she continued to juggle her academic and family duties while holding tight to the mindset that one day her sons would no longer need to breastfeed, and this wouldn’t be her reality forever. “If it doesn’t affect you, you’re not aware,” she said.

Bee study earns medical award BY DANIEL RENTERIA

CONSTANCE SARANTOS THE DAILY ILLINI

Vol. 148 Issue 17

Gene Robinson, professor in LAS, has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine for his research on the relationship between genes and social interactions through the study of honeybees. NAM announced the election of 85 new members who have made significant contributions to different fields of medicine on Oct. 15. Robinson, director of the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, was the only University professor selected this year. Much of Robinson’s work revolves around honeybees. He has been involved in discovering genes that affect the behaviors of honeybees and lead the project to completely map the honeybee’s genome, which may

be scaled to predict human behaviors. “I’ve been very interested in understanding this in honeybees, and also in using this information to be able to draw general insights that scale across bees and don’t apply to just bees, but to other creatures as well,” Robinson said. May Berenbaum, professor in LAS and head of the Department of Entomology, said it is rare for a bee researcher to be granted an award in medicine. Berenbaum compared Robinson’s election to the NAM to Karl von Frisch’s 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Frisch was an animal behaviorist who studied bees. “People don't typically think of honeybees and human health or medicine in the same sentence,” she said.

Berenbaum said Robinson was the primary leader of the bee genome project early on. He revolutionized bee research and enabled researchers to answer many difficult questions about genes and social interactions, Berenbaum said. “Gene is the world leader in studying the genomics underlying behavior, and he uses bees as his model organism,” said James Collins, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and external adviser to the IGB. Robinson said he was thrilled and honored when he was notified of his election to NAM. “We have several other members on campus in that group and I was just so excited to get the news,” he said.

Inspired by the eyes of mantis shrimp, a research team at the University developed a camera that can be used to help self-driving cars identify objects other cameras struggle to detect. Viktor Gruev, associate professor in Engineering and leader of the research team, said the team’s camera can identify an object three times farther away than what other cameras on self-driving cars can detect and at a much cheaper price. For multiple decades, Gruev worked with marine biologists to learn about the eyes of mantis shrimp. Missael Garcia, postdoctoral researcher in

Gruev’s research team, said the camera mimics the eye systems of the shrimp, which allows it to get clear, detailed images in rainy, foggy and overly bright driving conditions. The team first tested the camera on people driving cars in weather conditions where regular cameras didn’t work well. Gruev said he and the team members will test their cameras on self-driving cars next. Because of their unique eye systems, mantis shrimp can navigate more effectively and identify prey and predators in murky water more accurately than other shrimp. “It makes me think about this little creature that we don’t pay much attention about it, that we must cook

it or have it in restaurant,” Gruev said. “They are actually one of the best predators in shallow water.” Gruev hopes to use the team’s camera on everyday cars. He said it can replace regular cameras because it has an advantage when detecting pedestrians and other cars on the road. “I think that would be a humongous impact, a really big impact on our society,” he said. Gabriel Popescu, professor in Engineering, said he talked with Gruev about using the camera in his research. He hopes to use the camera as an attachment on microscopes to observe microscale objects in medical research, which could potentially be helpful in

cancer diagnostics and prognosis. Gruev said he and the team will continue researching and improving the camera. He said he hopes to establish a research center to apply the technology to other fields, including robotics and machine learning. Gruev believes understanding how nature functions can help scientists build better devices. “We can learn some very important lessons from nature, and we should never overlook those lessons because they hold the key of building the next generation of devices (so) that we can have lifelong impacts in society,” Gruev said. zihanw4@dailyillini.com

It’s a constant reminder of all the tasks still on her agenda for the day as an international advising specialist for students at the University. At the International Student and Scholar Services department, Karplus works with students by appointment and during a set period of drop-in hours she has during the week. Karplus describes her role as someone who can offer guidance on “all things immigration” for students navigating college and being away from their home country. Karplus and her husband, Jason Kandume, who works as a visiting specialist at the agricultural and biological engineering department, had baby Pandu back in October

Lauren Karplus holds her son, Panduleni, 5 months old, in her office at the International Students and Scholars building. Baby Pandu is holding cloth representing the colors of the South African Wambo tribe. Karplus keeps the leftover decoration from her wedding on a bookshelf in her office.

2017. Pandu has a soft, brown complexion — one that mirrors his father’s — and a knack for smiling. With roots tied back to the Wambo tribe in South Africa, the boy fits right in among the different cultures and backgrounds of students who walk in and out of the ISSS department every day. Even when Karplus doesn’t bring him to work with her, Pandu still takes up chunks of her time. Between faculty meetings and student walkin hours, she now takes 10-to15 minutes to pump when she has a spare moment. When she first returned to work, she had to carve 30-minute time slots into her calendar and would mark them as “private appointments.” At these times, Karplus shuts her door, pulls the blinds and plugs in her breast pump in order to express milk three times a day. She then stores the milk in small baby bottles she keeps cold with an ice pack in a lunch box to save as a meal for Pandu the next day. Her pumping schedule mimics the times Karplus would feed her son when she was with him all the time on maternity leave. It is not uncommon for something to come up in the workday that forces Karplus to hold off on pumping, or do so during her lunch break instead. She still manages her professional life and motherly duties but emphasizes why the combination of the two work for her. “The only reason pumping works for me is because I have a private office,” Karplus said.

There are days when Karplus needs to travel for her job as a student adviser for conferences around campus. On top of being sure to bring along all the supplies needed to pump, she’s learned to call ahead and arrive early to the location in order to access an often makeshift lactation space. When she’s working outside of her office, Karplus’ request is passed between employees until she finally finds the right person to talk to about finding a lactation space. The knowledge of lactation spaces in the building tends to be limited, with the exception of a select few who either have had to use the rooms before or take care of maintenance in the building. “The lack of space, the lack of accommodation and the lack of thought that goes into accommodating is very evident,” Karplus said. Usually for Karplus, the first thing other employees offer to her is the use of the women’s bathroom. However, she’s found there tends not be outlets available, so she can’t even use her pump. When there are outlets they are positioned close to the door, eliminating any chance of her having guaranteed privacy from colleagues and students she works with. “Some people act like it’s a really big imposition that you’re going there and asking that,” Karplus said. She recounted announcements being made in random office meetings full of men about her need to breast pump, as if the employees

needed to “shout it out to the rooftops,” and felt it was received as an annoyance. Almost as if the staff had never been presented with this kind of request before. “If I had to spend every day the way I have to spend when I’m out of my office trying to find spaces to pump, I’d switch to formula in an instant. You wouldn’t even be able to get work done (when) you’re so busy trying to find a spot,” Karplus said. Karplus has pumped in gender-neutral bathrooms that have a lock on the door, highly aware of how her 20

minutes to pump could be preventing someone else from being able to use them. She’s used study rooms only to realize after the fact there had been a student sitting in direct view of her through the small window. At a hotel once, instead of being provided with an empty room, she was invited to use a supply closet, squeezed in between boxes of Christmas decorations with a door so thin that the hum of her pump could obviously be heard by those passing by.

Classroom in the Mechanical Engineering Building on Sunday. A five-story building will be added to the existing infrastructure as part of a $41 million renovation.

RENOVATION in the MEB classrooms, the new classrooms will have tables that can be moved and grouped differently for collaboration and more technology in the classrooms. Jessica Yoon, freshman in Engineering, said it’s difficult to collaborate with classmates in the existing building. “I feel like it’s more closed. I would love to see open classrooms so we can just glance through,” Yoon said. Damon McFall, director of facilities and operations for mechanical science and engineering, said he hopes the makeover will increase the sense of community in

couches or somewhere like that or areas where you can work together,” Liro said. Labs and classrooms are spread between the MEB and the MEL. Bowman said the labs and classrooms will soon be in the same building for undergraduates so students can go from classes to labs easily. Bowman said the idea for renovations made to the MEB has been kicked around for a couple decades but it didn’t become serious until 2015. Construction was to start in 2017, but the project expanded to include the fivestory building. “We knew we wanted to do the addition, but then we kind of went back to the drawing board with our architects and decided that

the MEB. “On the first floor, we hope that we have people bumping into each other and be able to brainstorm together,” McFall said. “We’re looking into better ways to use our corridor space so that we can have active learning happening on the fly.” He said each floor would be like a different neighborhood, with some floors dedicated to quiet studying and others for socializing. Eric Liro, junior in Engineering, said students go to the mechanical engineering laboratory to work on projects because there is no place at the MEB to work together. “Sometimes if you have 10 minutes in between class, there isn’t any place to sit down.

and Prevention and a mother of three, wrote includes guidelines she stands by when considering these rooms from the perspectives of someone in the design world and someone who has needed these spaces herself. “Particularly in public access facilities, such as airports, conference centers, libraries, museums, college campuses, shopping malls and hotels, nursing mothers need a calm environment to breastfeed their babies and a secure space where their belongings, such as a stroller, can be accommodated,” York wrote. Karplus realizes how the pressure of a fast-paced and professional work environment which she tends to internalize, may contribute to feelings of embarrassment when searching for a space in a new building. Aside from locating a space when out of the office or overcoming the initial learning curve from when she first began pumping, the biggest challenge for Karplus is a personal one. “There is still that awareness of that any time I choose to pump it is putting a greater burden on some of my colleagues potentially,” Karplus said. “I need to be okay with taking time to pump, so sometimes I struggle with being okay with myself to do that.”

since the addition was going up, there’d be an ideal time to renovate the building,” Bowman said. Currently, $37.3 million of the proposed $41 million has been raised, Bowman said. He hopes renovations will start in May 2019 after spring classes end and will be ready for fall classes in 2021. “We’d just like to have everyone know that this is going to be a state-of-the-art facility and it's going to be a place anyone who comes and enrolls in our department is going to be proud of,” Bowman said. “There's a lot to be excited about, and I think students who are going to be taking advantage of it are going to be very thankful.” afu6@dailyillini.com

Engineering and co-chair of the task force, said Room 404 lacks visibility, which makes it hard for students to find. “The issue most of all is the visibility, and I think that does a big job in getting students to vote,” Raju said.

Illinois Street Residence Hall, which hosted a polling place in past elections, is under construction, so the ISR location will not be available for this midterm. Another campus voting location, Skelton Place, was sold to a private developer and the voting location was moved to the Cohen Hillel, the center for Jewish life.

Gordy Hulten, Champaign county clerk, said the reason why voting is held on the fourth floor of the Illini Union is because it is the only room the clerk’s office was authorized to use for early voting in the building.

Additionally, any student who wants to review or redigest the critical parts from class can have access to that information. Take my psychology class as an example. This class requires a lot of time and energy put into taking notes and listening to additional explanations to understand the readings and slides. The problem lies in that human beings simply cannot keep their brains highly concentrated on both the slides and notes for 50 minutes, and taking notes acts as a distraction from paying attention to the professor. Even if you’re sure to

attend every class, you can still miss some of the points as you are trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible. Some classes have an overload of information or are simply too fast-paced to understand in one sitting. If the class is videotaped, students will be able to review the concepts several times, which is optimal for learning.You can also control the pace of the study by doing whatever you want to the clips — fast-forward and pause functions are extremely helpful. I assure you that students’ grades will be boosted because access to materials will strengthen learning by staying in the cerebral cortex for a longer period of time.

Steer clear of skincare myths ELLEN BARCZAK COLUMNIST

eauty products over the years have become increasingly specific, expensive and, frankly, excessive. The skincare industry alone generated $17 billion in 2017, comprising roughly 20 percent of the beauty/personal care industry. Although successful, this sector of the market is bogus. If you have skin that truly requires care, you cannot benefit from this industry. Individuals with acne, psoriasis and eczema, along with other common skin issues, will only worsen their conditions by buying into this market filled with empty promises and hefty price tags. So who is the skincare industry for anyway? People whose skin is already fine? If it’s already fine, then why are they spending their money on products claiming to make

their skin extra fine? They’re not selling products in this industry; they’re selling ideas and ideals. Whether that $50 pretty little glass jar smooths your wrinkles, zaps your zits or evens your complexion is irrelevant to them. All that matters is you see what you “could” be when buying it: younger, fresher, more beautiful. They want you to feel like you need their product to reach the standard of beauty they set. They want you to feel like if you don’t buy this potion, cream or wash, you aren’t beautiful. And you can’t be happy if you aren’t beautiful based on their standards, right? The jar whispers to you, “If only you bought me, you could be a better version of yourself.” You think it will make you feel good. You buy it. And — surprise — you remain unchanged, outside of the balance of your checking account. The skincare industry seems to lack credibility. It makes all kinds of

claims: “Zit-erasing pen!”, “Smooth out those wrinkles!”, “One minute in the shower with this soap and you’ll look like Jennifer Aniston!” Despite its promises, there doesn’t seem to be much evidence for the success of its products. For someone with properly functioning skin, there is no serious downside to buying these products besides the expense. For someone with skin issues, however, the empty promises of the industry can lead to wild goose chases ending in further frustration and negative results. Let’s take acne as an example. Everyone has had a breakout at some point; it’s practically a rite of passage into adulthood. For some, however, it overstays its welcome, and the skincare industry is ready to “help.” These individuals desperate for clear skin are offered charcoal masks, cleansing lavender water and light therapy treatments, among others.

he scientific world is continuing to make huge leaps with artificial intelligence. The idea of creating an intelligent being has captivated humans for centuries. On Oct. 10 at a conference in Los Angeles, Magic Leap, an augmented reality and computer vision company, presented Mica. Mica is possibly the most realistic, human-looking AI to date. Today, we are far past ideas of Frankensteinlike creations. AI lives inside our phones and homes. This exciting field of technology is evolving and modernizing every day in every way but one: gender. From Siri to Alexa to Ex Machina and now Mica, why are AIs almost always female? When AIs continue to be created with female voices, physical features and gestures, this promotes the idea of assistant and submissive roles in society belonging to women. When you want to know the weather or change the music, who do you ask? Siri and Alexa — two AIs with female voices. In the wildly successful film “Ex Machina,” exclusively female AIs are presented and kept as sex slaves for their creator, a male entrepreneurial genius. With last week’s reveal of Mica, people will be able to see a visual, virtual assistant woman help them with anything from controlling smart home devices to responding to questions with complex and elaborate answers. Our scientific communities are progressing in research knowledge and technological capabilities; so, their projection of gender roles should, too. AIs are often created as assistants to humans or secondary companions. In doing so, our “evolving” society perpetuates age-old sexist ideals that women are meant

to be obedient, submissive and complementary to their more masculine, and therefore “dominant,” counterparts. In a growing society, we cannot overlook this dangerous pattern in AI representation. With phones and virtual assistants, young people interact with AIs on a daily basis. It is a part of our society, however new it may be, that is becoming increasingly habitual in our lives. This makes the weight of the AI gender inequality and its consequences that much greater. Today, children are growing up alongside artificial intelligence. Instead of playing with toys or sitting at the dinner table interacting with family members, many children are handed phones or tablets to entertain themselves. Children today watch their parents order things off Amazon, search the internet or play music simply by telling their virtual assistant to do so. When children grow up hearing a female voice obediently comply with these demands, this perpetuates a culture accepting the notion that subordinate positions are somehow fundamentally female. With artificial intelligence, humans are given a spectacular opportunity to push a new reflection of humanity forward. AIs have the ability to represent a new wave of cultural ideals. Continuing outdated sexist ideas cannot continue with such modern technology. Those leading the creation of AIs cannot let this regressive pattern become lost and embedded in the middle of so much progression. The scientific community must realize its responsibility to create with a strong consciousness in the power its work holds — not just technologically, but also socially. The community must be aware that, in the process of pushing forward, it does not slip back. Claire is a sophomore in ACES. cmjoyce2@dailyillini.com

these items will work. But you already bought them, so the industry doesn’t care. The skincare market is built on dishonesty, on broken promises. And people are buying into it more today than ever before. It is but another facet of a society based on the glory of materialism and consumerism. If you have skin that just does its thing, be thankful for it. Be thankful your problem is “my pores are too big” (that’s a made up problem, everyone has pores) or that it does not glow like Jennifer Aniston’s (she is most likely not human anyway). And if you have a diagnosable problem, don’t waste your money on all this silliness; go to a dermatologist. I promise their suggestions will help much more than those of a cosmetologist at Sephora. If we stop buying, they’ll stop lying. They won’t have a choice. Ellen is a sophomore in LAS. ellenmb2@dailyillini.com

UIPD takes disciplinary approach to student crime BY EMMA PALATNIK STAFF WRITER

The University police department reported an increase in certain reported criminal offenses from 2016 to 2017. There were more liquor law arrests, liquor law violations referred for disciplinary action and drug law violations referred for disciplinary action. Drug law arrests, however, declined. Pat Wade, communications director for UIPD, said they issue fewer drinking tickets than people would expect. In 2017, UIPD issued nine total drinking tickets on or adjacent to campus property, meaning on-campus or non-campus property, in a residence facility or on public property. UIPD issued five drinking tickets in 2016. Instead of issuing a drinking ticket, UIPD tries to refer students to the student disciplinary office. “A drinking ticket that gets logged into the criminal justice system, there’s a fine attached,” Wade said. “It’s pretty punitive. Whereas when we can refer a student to the student disciplinary office and deal with it that way, that’s a little more preferable to giving someone a drinking ticket.” For 2017, there were 543 liquor law violations referred for disciplinary action. In 2016 there were 506 referrals. Wade said it’s been a consistent trend throughout the past few years to have more disciplinary referrals than drinking tickets. UIPD takes the same approach with minor drug violations. In 2017 there were 38 drug law arrests versus 605 drug law violations referred for disciplinary action. For 2016, there were 75 drug law arrests and 422 drug law violations referred for disciplinary action. “(Drug law arrests) could be a notice to appear in court. In Urbana you can issue a civil ticket; it’s essentially a ticket for minor drugs like marijuana,” Wade said. However, Wade said there are some more addictive drugs the police department has more serious concerns with. More serious drug violations do happen on campus as well.

UIPD has investigative units who try to weed out the high-volume drug dealers on campus through a variety of investigative practices, Wade said. For drugs, there are two levels: the more minor violations and the larger scale drug dealing. Beginning in 2017 for the state of Illinois, possession of fewer than 10 grams of marijuana became a civil violation, which is similar to a traffic ticket. “That was another avenue, that gave us another tool on the tool belt, so to speak, where we can either issue a ticket instead of arresting someone or send them to the student disciplinary process,” Wade said. Theft is the most common crime on college campuses, Wade said. Theft is property crime and can be significant. Usually, someone gets something like their cellphone, wallet or bike stolen. UIPD does take theft seriously, Wade said, because it causes a huge disruption in someone’s life when it happens. “I don’t have the number of thefts in front of me but I’m sure there’s hundreds of thefts that happen,” Wade said. “It’s a daily occurrence, not only here but pretty much on every college campus.” Robbery is a more serious crime. There is a threat of force associated, meaning someone has a weapon, like a gun or a knife, or implies that they have a weapon. The offender takes the victim’s property from them while they are standing there. The victim has a personal interaction with the offender. Wade said robberies are far and few between. In 2017, there were four reported robberies; in 2016, there were five. The Champaign Police Department refers crimes to UIPD unless the crime occurred on city property. “The U of I spans several law enforcement jurisdictions so it’s possible that any one of several departments could handle a call involving a U of I student (state, Urbana, Champaign, UI police and the county sheriff ),” Bruce Ramseyer, Champaign police patrol lieutenant, wrote in an email.

Wade said UIPD takes the approach that any crime is a crime, violent or not. As a police department, he said, they have to enforce the law and hold people accountable. This can mean different things depending on the crime and history of the person committing it. With a petty theft, for example, Wade said if it is the person’s first offense, they’re remorseful about it and they cooperated and told the truth, then UIPD will most likely send the student through the disciplinary process. That way, the student isn’t getting into the crim-

inal justice system where there is a record of the crime. Repeat offenders probably won’t go through the student disciplinary process. “We’ve probably already done that and it didn’t work because you’re still committing these crimes,” Wade said. “So we’re going to raise the level and be more punitive.” UIPD’s approach does depend on a variety of factors like the history of the offender and the effect on the victim. Ramseyer wrote that the Champaign police department’s approach to crime is

generally the same as other towns. Students are not handled differently. However, they do answer to the University in addition to criminal law. “When we have an interaction with a student, that information gets passed along to the University police when we are done, so they, or other University departments, can follow up with drug or alcohol counseling,” Ramseyer wrote. “Sometimes if it is a fraternity or sorority type of issue the people at Greek Affairs might get involved.” Ramseyer explained there isn’t an immediate request for University

involvement, but they do share the information in the following days. No matter how petty the crime may seem, Wade said the UIPD have to enforce the law. “The law is the law for a reason and most of these crimes have a victim whose life has been disrupted, and we as a police department have to remember that,” Wade said. “We take a victim-oriented approach to make sure the actions that we’re taking are going to help the victim or alleviate in some way the impact of what’s happened to them.” emmacp2@dailyillini.com

Written by and starring McKenzie Chinn, “Olympia” showcases Chicago’s artistic finest. The film held its Midwest debut at last week’s Chicago International Film Festival.

McKenzie Chinn showcases Chicago’s artistic best BY JOSEPH LONGO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

McKenzie Chinn may have grown up on the East Coast — a Washington D.C. native — but her home and her artistry are distinctly Midwestern. Chinn wrote and starred in “Olympia,” the story of a Chicago illustrator approaching 30 and grappling with familial death and relocation. “This is where I spent the longest time as an adult person,” Chinn said. “We get so many stories out of New York, so many stories out of LA, but our stories are happening everywhere.” The film, which held its Chicago premiere this week at the Chicago Internation-

al Film Festival, is the latest in the forced adulthood genre. HBO’s trifecta of “Looking, Girls and Insecure,” Jessica Williams’ “The Incredible Jessica James” and Jenny Slate’s “Obvious Child” all explore millennial crisis on the coasts. There are few notable Midwestern 20-something existentialists — save for Kumail Nanjiani in “The Big Sick.” “We can decentralize where we place our important narratives. Our stories are happening everywhere,” Chinn said. “Olympia” is directed by Gregory Dixon, a fellow Chicago transplant who met Chinn at DePaul Uni-

versity as Master of Fine Arts students. “Olympia” is Dixon’s final thesis for his directing MFA, which gave the duo access to the City of Chicago’s student media permits. In the film, Olympia and her best friend, Jemma, stroll along the iconic Chicago Riverwalk, a nod to director Richard Linklater’s walk-and-talks in “Before Sunrise.” “I used to have a day job downtown and, every once in a while, I would take my lunch break and walk along the riverwalk,” Chinn said. “It just felt very true to what Olympia’s life was and to what life is when you’re working whatever job downtown.” “Olympia” operated on

a low budget but didn’t resort to guerrilla shooting on iPhones or without city approval. Chinn wanted to prove onscreen and off that Chicago artists can follow the rules to success in a city stereotyped as violent and crooked. “In the same way as a black person, when we see ourselves reflected in media we get stereotyped into stories that involve racial trauma or violence or positions of servitude,” she said. “While that’s part of our history as Americans, it’s not our whole story.” The film imbues airy effervescence, the cinematic equivalent to the few summertime weeks where Chicago is alive. Dix-

on added animated drawings over live footage as a visual marker of Olympia’s thoughts and drone shots of the bright cityscape to make Chicago its own character. “We wanted to show the iconic side of Chicago that we would miss if we weren’t here,” Dixon said. Leaving Chicago to pursue their art careers is a constant battle for the duo, who are touring the country’s film festival circuit. They held their world premiere at last month’s LA Film Festival in Hollywood where film and celebrities go hand-in-hand. Chinn adds, “We don’t have that. It felt like a deep honor and very validating

to be invited to be on that same level.” Whether or not the duo ever leaves their Midwestern stomping grounds, they’re glad to be showcasing the strength of Chicago and its film scene through “Olympia.” “The ways in which Chicago is represented, the ways in which people of color are represented, and the ways in which our queer characters are represented (on screen) are all really exciting to people who are learning about this film because these are just things that are not that common for those groups in this city,” Chinn said. features@dailyillini.com

Community seeks greater young voter turnout BY ELIZABETH SAYASANE STAFF WRITER

Aaron Ammons has been working on the same project since the early ’00s: registering people to vote. On a college campus, this job has particular relevance. Ammons believes young voters are the least likely in the electorate to turn out and vote in an election. Many people are trying to change this. Ammons, University building service worker, co-founded a group called The People’s Agenda, which does work in the community to help elect progressive candidates. Ammons is also running for the position of Champaign county clerk. The organization encourages people to run for office, trains people to serve in government positions and also moves into the campus to help register students to vote. “I think there’s a lot more students interested in electoral politics or the government and how it affects their daily lives than we give students credit for,” Ammons said. One possible reason students were failing to participate in the electoral process, Ammons said, was due to the lack of education they had received in civic responsibility. He said not enough stress is placed on civic engagement. The sense of duty,

responsibility and independence that comes from voting is not shared with today’s young people. The People’s Agenda continues to try to engage young voters in a number of ways. Ammons said the organization’s 100 volunteers registered over 2,000 students on Quad Day this year. He said starting to get young people active now would create a habit and a lifestyle of civic engagement. Savanna Pflugmacher, senior in LAS, lives a life of civic engagement that goes a step beyond going to the polls to vote. She has served as an election judge for three years. In her experience, she said same-day registration really brought out college voters. Pflugmacher was born in the Champaign area, so she was already registered in the district of her college. However, many students live far from home and have to decide whether to register in Champaign or get an absentee ballot to fill out. Andrew Silge, fifth-year senior in LAS, votes using an absentee ballot. He said he knows his county better and is more familiar with the candidates running. Ultimately, he said to vote in whichever way makes the most sense to each particular person. Silge felt it was more important to get people voting in the first place. He

agreed with Ammons that schools should focus more on the value of civic engagement. “We need to, not necessarily force people to vote, but force them more to know about it,” he said. Max Shapiro, sophomore in LAS, is studying political science, economics and Spanish. He said the key to getting young voters is to make them care. According to Shapiro, people do not care about politics anymore. He said if they cared more, they would be voting. He thinks people should care more about the federal government, as well as the state and local levels. Shapiro said people converse more about politics these days. He questioned whether that matters. “I think there is a huge discrepancy in people who are interested in politics and people who are interested in voting,” he said. “The two things are absolutely not the same.” One person making an effort to connect the two more on campus is James Hintz, associate vice chancellor for student affairs. Hintz helps to coordinate one voting initiative on campus: The Big Ten Voting Challenge. This challenge is issued by the Association of Big Ten Students. It takes data from all Big Ten schools and awards the schools with

the highest voter turnout, as well as the most improved. The competition is an alternative attempt to motivate college student voter turnout. However, Hintz said what will really draw students out to the polls will be for a more personal reason. “I’d imagine that students are looking for a reason to vote, like something to believe in or people to believe in or leaders to believe in,” he said. “If they’re not seeing that, they won’t necessarily be

as motivated to vote either.” Ammons has optimistic expectations for the upcoming election. He said that because of events happening in recent politics, more people will be “activated” and will express their feelings through voting. For Ammons, though, it should not matter what is happening in the political landscape. He calls voting a “centerpiece of your existence as an American citizen.” Part of Ammons interest

in encouraging voter registration stems from his study of the civil rights movement. This helped him gain an appreciation and understanding of the precious responsibility we have in voting. “(When) I say exercising their right to vote, I really mean fulfilling their responsibilities to vote as an American citizen because I think it’s a duty and a responsibility,” Ammons said. eis3@dailyillini.com

Volleyball wins in emotional weekend BY RACHEL SPENCER STAFF WRITER

Crowds at Huff Hall couldn't have seen two more different games this weekend. No. 7 Illinois hosted both Michigan State and No. 13 Michigan, beating both Big Ten contenders in three and five sets, respectively. Friday’s match against Michigan was a close battle. Going into the weekend, both teams had similar conference and overall records, and the similarities showed throughout the night. By the time the fifth set began, there had already been 18 lead changes — and two more in the fifth, for a grand total of 20 lead changes throughout the game. But even more reflective of the battle between Illinois and Michigan is the number of tie scores — the two ranked teams found themselves tied 39 times on Friday night. But when the Illini are locked into intense competition, head coach Chris Tamas expects his team to put what they have practiced into action. “It’s tough and we’re on them in practice about these types of situations, and that’s just the way we train and just making sure we’re able to take those swings in those moments when it is tight,” Tamas said. “You’ve got to be able to be brave and be able to take a point and trust your teammates that they’re back there, they’re ready to pick you up and make sure that they’re doing their job too.” Senior Ali Bastianelli had a standout night, not only picking up a career-high 19 kills against the Wolverines but also becoming the Big Ten Conference career blockassists leader with a total of 618 block assists. Bastianelli said she couldn’t have earned the honor without a strong foundation. “It felt really good, but knowing I couldn’t have done that without my teammates the past four years, it means a lot that I have that ability with the teammates around me and that they’re so excited for me,” Bastianelli said. “The coaches do a good job of pushing me every day in practice to get better and they do that with everyone.” The Illini prepared to face off against a young Spartan squad on Saturday. While Michigan State looks different from last year’s seasoned team, the remainder of last

year’s Sweet 16 match-up couldn’t be ignored. At the end of a quick night, Illinois emerged on top and swept Michigan State in three sets. Junior Jacqueline Quade led the Illini with 14 kills. She

was followed by Bastianelli and redshirt junior Beth Prince, who joined Quade in the double digits. Bastianelli had 11 kills by the end of the night while Prince had 10. It was a consistent evening

for senior Jordyn Poulter as well; after moving up to third place in Illinois program history with 4,493 career assists on Friday, she added 43 more to her record on Saturday. Although a sweep can be

exciting and refreshing, after five sets the night before, Poulter knew that Saturday’s match could come with its own set of battles. “I think the mentality was a little more difficult,” Poulter

said. “It’s easier, I feel like, to keep the focus when you’re in a battle and trying to grind every point like we did with Michigan. It’s just kind of, SEE MICHIGAN | 3B

With about three weeks left until the return of college basketball, the Illinois men’s basketball team held another practice open to the fans and media at 11 a.m. in the Ubben practice facility Saturday. While the players and Underwood weren’t available for interviews, here’s what went down.

Friendly fire

After the warmup drills were completed, the Illini went full-court live 5-on-5 in multiple drills. A rebounding drill started off the live ball sections, and Underwood made himself heard, showing frustration with the team for its lack of communication and spotty effort. Junior Kipper Nichols gave up an offensive rebound to freshman Tevian Jones and was laid into by Underwood, who told him that he had two rebounds all of last practice and had zero so far on Saturday. Nichols and Jones got tangled up on the next rep, both playing physically and eventually slamming into the ground. Nichols, who landed on top of Jones, used him to

the way back down around midcourt, Jones and Nichols came together and began a verbal exchange. One thing led to another, and punches were thrown and missed before players and coaches could separate

Illinois football thought it could weather the storm, but as the snow fell in Madison, Wisconsin, so did the Illini in a 49-20 loss. No. 23 Wisconsin opened up the game with a five-minute drive down the field to score in 11 plays. As for the Illini offense's opening drive, the group held onto the ball for all of 94 seconds before quarterback AJ Bush threw for an interception that led to a quick Wisconsin score. After two interceptions, only offset by two completions for ten total yards, Bush was subbed out for true freshman M.J. Rivers. After struggling through last week’s game against Purdue with 12 completions throughout the game, Bush's problems spilled over into Saturday's game. The grad-transfer quarterback couldn't find his receivers and has had issues through the air all season. “We felt like we needed to go a little bit different direction passing the football,” Lovie Smith said. “I thought he (Rivers) would give us the best chance to do that.”

Rivers paced the offense to a 20-point performance, going 7-13 with 80 yards and one interception. The running game once again looked like the team’s strongest attribute. Reggie Corbin had an 80-yard breakaway run for the first Illinois touchdown of the game. The run marked the team's longest rushing touchdown since Rashard Mendenhall's 86-yard run in 2006. Corbin went on to finish the day with 100 yards rushing for only the second time in his career. At the end of the second half, a Stanley Green interception off Wisconsin’s Alex Hornibrook that was returned 49 yards gave a glimmer of hope for the Illini. Chase McLaughlin kicked a 52-yard field goal to send Illinois into the locker room down 28-10. The second half saw little progress for Illinois, and the Wisconsin rushing attack proved too much for a struggling Illinois defense. Smith commented on the defense's recent problems, stating the changes that need to be SEE BUSH | 3B

ILLINOIS VS. WISCONSIN M . J. R I VE R S After subbing in for Bush, Rivers once again showed his good arm, competence and poise in the pocket. The true freshman came in and collected seven completions on 13 attempts for 80 yards. Though he threw an interception early, he

still showed great control over the ball and made smart decisions. Rather than getting frustrated or flustered, like it seems his older counterpart did, Rivers remained calm and put together four-scoring drives.

Roundtree, Del’Shawn Phillips and Jartavius Martin were wonderfully underwhelming; there were no stand-out plays or significant tackles on the field. The team did look more cohesive, but conservative.

Green came out and had what the statistics would say was the best game of his career. He had his second career interception during the second quarter and returned it for 49 yards. He also racked up 16 tackles, a career best.

Green has had a bit of an underwhelming season, and seizing the opportunity for the defense was a huge help for the team. Without Green’s pick, the Illini would’ve had one less touchdown. tp3@dailyillini.com

GAME NOTEBOOK BY TATIANIA PERRY STAFF WRITER

A CHANGE UNDER CENTER M.J. Rivers relieved AJ Bush of his duties under center at the 6:36 mark in the second quarter. After two interceptions and just 10 yards passing on eight attempts from Bush, the coaching staff decided to go with Rivers’ arm talent, even if it meant sacrificing Bush’s legs. Rivers’ presence gave Illinois a glimmer of hope as Reggie Corbin immediately broke off an 80-yard touchdown run to cut the 14-0 deficit in half. After the Illini defense forced a three and out on the following drive, Rivers had an opportunity to fully bring them back into the

game. But his third down pass was intercepted by Wisconsin’s Olive Sagapolu, setting Wisconsin up in Illinois territory. Turnovers plagued the Illini, and by the time Rivers attempted his next pass, the score was 28-7. However, Rivers did lead one other touchdown drive, after a Jimmy Marchese interception gave the offense a short field to work with. Although his stat line did not jump out, Rivers once again showed his throwing advantage over Bush, only this time, it seems as though he might be here to stay as the team’s starting quarterback.

TURNOVER STREAK CONTINUES Stanley Green’s interception late in the first half extended the Illini’s Power 5 forced-turnover leading streak to 21 games. While some believe that more forced turnovers lead to more wins, the Illini are a contradiction to the rule as they are 5-16 during the streak. Illinois is also near the top of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision in turnover margin at +8. That statistic may also be misleading, as Kansas leads the nation (+13), one of the few Power 5 schools whose

struggle is comparable to Illinois’. Having such a streak can be a positive takeaway from an otherwise lackluster performance, but the defense, particularly the secondary, still has issues when it comes to assignments and tackling, leading to chunk plays for opposing offenses. Wisconsin had two players, Jonathan Taylor and Taiwan Deal, cross the 100-yard barrier, and both had runs of over 15 yards, including Deal’s 39-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

CORBIN CONTINUES TO SHINE IN LOSS Reggie Corbin bounced back from the Purdue game when he had difficulty finding holes to break through and finished with 100 yards rushing and a touchdown. His 80-yard touchdown in the second quarter was easily the Illini’s brightest moment all game as the junior tailback abandoned the blocking scheme to his right, cut left and used key blocks from Rivers in front of him and Sam Mays beside him to take the ball

to the house. Corbin now has 584 yards rushing on the season to go along with six touchdowns, behind only Taylor and Penn State’s Miles Sanders for the Big Ten lead in rushing scores. If Rivers takes over the starting job at quarterback, the respect opposing defenses would have to pay toward his arm could open up more running lanes for Corbin going forward.

MICHIGAN how do we maintain our level of play that we want to have.” Saturday was also a special night for the Illini because it was their annual Pink Match in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a night that means a great deal to the team and coaching staff, many of whom have personal connections to the fight against breast cancer. “Every time that I get to wear pink in this month I just think of all the strong women who have overcome this battle and continue to be advocates and be survivors,” Poulter said. “I’m happy that we celebrate this collectively.” @Rachelspenc rachels2@dailyillini.com

PRACTICE wings and restraining Nichols while a group of players and coaches secured Jones. Underwood chided the two for being childish before starting the same drill over again. After that incident, there were no more physical altercations, but the physicality of practice picked up, with freshman bigs Samba Kane and Giorgi Bezhanishvili getting into it at one point.

Neil Novosel skates past Lindenwood’s players to gain possession of the puck at the Ice Arena on Dec. 1. Illini won in overtime 2-1.

Illinois sweeps weekend contest BY JARED FARMER STAFF WRITER

After two intense games that came down to the wire, the Illini swept the No. 7 Bronchos. “This weekend, tonight especially, you could see a lot of the guys get frustrated with some of the stuff going on away from the play, but I think we did a good job sticking to our game and our process,” said head coach Nick Fabbrini. “A lot of times we talk about playing the full 60 minutes, sticking to our game plan and not panicking during the closing moments. I think it truly is a testament to us believing in what our guys can do.” Friday’s match started off with both squads locking down defensively. The two teams exchanged penalties during the opening period, but neither team was able

to score a goal. Both teams continued to play hard-nosed defense, keeping the game scoreless to start the second, but Central Oklahoma got the first goal of the game from a shot by Matt Davies. Things continued to go south from there, as the Bronchos scored a second goal early in the third to go up 2-0. Late in the third, momentum swung in favor of the Illini. Junior forward Neil Novosel put Illinois on the board and fellow junior Jon Moskaluk tied the game with another quick goal, forcing the game into overtime. In the overtime shootout, both teams missed their shots at the goal until freshman forward Kacper Ryba scored to put the Illini up 3-2. A final save on a Central Oklahoma

shot by junior goalkeeper Jake Barnhart secured the comeback for an Illinois victory. “I thought we played a really strong game,” Fabbrini said. “We came out and set the tone early, and I really thought we were the better team for all three periods. We had a little bit of a lull in the second where we gave up a few chances and started, and obviously, it’s not ideal to give up another goal within the first 30 seconds, but I can’t say enough about how these guys performed this weekend.” Saturday ’s rematch started off scoreless in the first, but by the six-minute mark the Bronchos had gotten on the board, 1-0. Sophomore forward Jack Healy would respond at the 4:44 mark with a goal to tie the match, ending the first

period. Seventeen seconds into the second period, Ryba scored his second goal of the weekend to put Illinois up 2-1, but Central Oklahoma immediately responded with a goal of its own to tie the score back up. Going into the third, both teams went back and forth for five minutes. Sophomore Drew Richter sank his shot on the goal off of an assist from Healy to put Illinois up 3-2. The next five minutes of the third was a dogfight, ending in a brawl between Austin Cunningham of Central Oklahoma and Healy of Illinois. C ent ra l Ok la homa grew more aggressive in its attack. As the period went on, the physicality continued, with sticks and gloves of both teams flying.

The Bronchos attacked relentlessly, but the Illini were able to hold off and iced the game after a goal by Novosel with 23 seconds remaining. With this win, the Illini improve to 6-3 in the season. “I think that after what most of these guys have gone through over the years, and understanding what we’re capable of as a group, I don’t think that there’s any panic in our game,” Fabbrini said. “I think that these guys believe in what we’re asking (them) to do and in the third period we’re ready to go. We feel as though if we’re in the position to win the game in the third that we have the personnel to do it.” @Jaredefarmer jaredef2@dailyillini.com

BUSH made are still in the works. “We will keep searching for that,” Smith said. “The things we felt like we should do differently are the things we tried to do today.” Badger running back Jonathan Taylor ran for the 159 yards, averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Wisconsin’s Taiwan Deal followed right behind with 111 yards on the day, averaging 9.3 yards per carry. Jimmy Marchese and Stanley Green each snagged an interception for a collective 52 yards, extending the streak of forced opponent turnovers to 21 games, the longest among Power 5 schools. Green also scraped together a career-high 16 tackles. The Illini were able to post one final touchdown following Marchese’s interception in the third quarter with a two-play, 25-second drive. A Rivers 25-yard throw to Trenard Davis lead to a Ra’Von Bonner 18-yard touchdown run. After a final field goal by Chase McLaughlin, Wisconsin claimed the win. Illinois is on the road again next week to face off against Maryland. “There is absolutely frustration, there should be when you play that way,” Smith said. “And when you have frustration, you keep searching for answers and some of that involves personnel changes, and that's what we are going to do.” @tati_perry14 tp3@dailyillini.com

Big guest

Four-star big man Drew Timme watched the Illini practice on Saturday with his family before working out in front of the remaining fans after practice was over. Timme, a 6-foot-10 senior from Richardson, Texas, is the 41st ranked recruit on 247Sports and listed the Illini in his top five alongside Alabama, Gonzaga, Texas A&M and Arizona. After the team’s practice was over and the players were shooting free throws, Bezhanishvili showed off his ability to shoot free throws with either hand before rebounding for Timme to warm him up for his workout.

Feeling things out

Just like the last open practice, the Illini brought in referees to officiate the live ball sections. While it seemed like the Illini got along with the referees for the most part, there were occasions when players — usually the younger guys — didn’t see things the same way as the refs. Freshman guard Ayo Dosunmu was called for a number of turnovers because of offensive fouls, carries and travels, causing him to have to run nine sprints after practice, one for each turnover. Bezhanishvili also had a consistent dialogue with the refs. He was unhappy with a number of calls and nocalls he got over the course of practice, most notably a blocking foul he was called for while trying to cut off Dosunmu hedging a pick-and-roll.

Quiet Illini

Underwood spent a large portion of the practice working on the Illini’s transition defense, with both the orange and blue teams pushing the tempo off misses and makes. After a couple of trips where the defense surrendered an open three-pointer, Underwood got on his team for their lack of communication, saying their transition defense was horrible because no one on either team was talking. Underwood also talked about how it may be hard to play so fast and defend a pace like that, but that’s why the Illini are doing it. At times, Underwood got on various perimeter players for not defending the ball hard enough and other players for making bad reads offensively. Trent Frazier received a bewildered look from Underwood after he took a contested threepointer when the Illini were practicing sets. The team now has less than 20 days until exhibition games start at the State Farm Center. AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI

Montreal-based Helena Deland released the two albums as part of her anthology series, “From The Series of Songs ‘Altogether Unaccompanied.’” The volumes are an eclectic mix of synth pop and ’80s style alternative.

track from Vol. III, is a song revealing Deland’s vulnerability, as she said in press materials, the song is “about having a crush that you’re kind of resisting because you don’t want to surrender mental space to it.” Her ability to craft lyrics rises to front and center once again, with the poetic lyrics revealing a universal fear of being too intimate with someone: “Asking why don’t we go/Mingle with the people?/Cause I don’t need/I don’t need/To lean

on you, no.” Deland has made both albums distinctive from each other while crafting each track to evoke a different, specific feeling, digging into her inner world and interpreting it to the audience with elegance. It’s almost impossible to not fall in love with “Altogether Unaccompanied,” no matter your music tastes. buzz factor:

plenty of space to explore Deland’s inner thoughts. Deland’s ability to craft lyrics is profound — she can evoke certain feelings within the listener, bringing the audience to an ethereal world relieved of anxiety. “Claudion,” the first track from Vol. IV, was inspired by an intense night with a close friend. When Deland gently sings, softly baring her emotions, the effect is dazzling. Her vocal delivery is as intoxicatingly beautiful as a summer breeze, evoking nostalgia from memories that are just figments of the imagination. The lyrics in “Claudion” are simple. But combined with her intense vocals, they are powerful enough to carry out the emotional gravity Deland is attempting. The audiences may feel so close to her yet so far away. Lyrics like, “And your face that I know says/Night falls/ And day breaks/I was only thinking ‘bout trying it out/ ... And when I turn around/I see you lying on the ground, it’s you/When I go down as myself/I don’t come up with someone else, it’s true,” create that heartbreaking emotional distance, almost a need for the audience to comfort Deland. Another track, “Rise,” has the best lyrics among the tracks on both volumes, revealing how Deland approaches relationships. The hook is memorable and creative: “Sleeper, sleeper, tell me what has been so tiring/You’re gone/Colour, Colour, I will think of you/ When red meets blue and fades into the greater black.” “Rise” grounds dreaminess with blunter realities. The subtle effects of the guitar and bass are cinematic with fuzzy tones, plucky beats and echo chords. It is not only pure sonic enjoyment, but Deland successfully builds her vocal language to another level that feels like it could soundtrack a ’90s indie movie. “Lean On You,” the last

Nottingham-based pop-punk band Catch Fire will be releasing its newest EP, “Karma Owes Me a Lifetime of Happiness,” on Nov. 16 via Rude Records.

Catch Fire discusses band’s evolution, making it big BY EUNICE ALPASAN STAFF WRITER

One of the best memories Ash Wain, drummer of Catch Fire, has with his band is during the release show of their debut EP, “The Distance I Am From You,” in their hometown of Nottingham, U.K. “We sold it out,” Wain said. “All our friends were there, some of our parents and a ton of people we didn’t even know that all knew the lyrics. It meant so much to us all that so early on, people were into us.” Catch Fire is a four-piece pop-punk band from Nottingham, U.K. The band is set to release its debut album, “Karma Owes Me a Lifetime of Happiness,” on Nov. 16 via independent record label Rude Records. “It’s an absolute dream come true,” Wain said. “We’re not a huge band, and we’re still very young. To have a label propose the opportunity to put out an album is huge. You only get

one debut. Whatever happens, we’re proud of it, and I don’t think we’ll ever get bored of listening to it.” Over the course of a year the album was being written, Wain said he and vocalist Miles Kent would get together every night to hash out ideas. Since the band had only previously released EPs, the band wanted to make its debut album stand out. “It definitely wasn’t easy, but we were in no rush, so we took our time, and in the end, it came together better than we could have ever imagined,” Wain said. Wain said the new album digs deep musically and lyrically, and he hopes people can connect with the song lyrics. “I guess this time around, it’s not only different because it’s an album but because it’s a cohesive body of music,” Wain said. “It’s meant to be listened to in full. The music is more explorative and mature.”

In the lead-up to its album release date, the band released three singles, which also included music videos for two of the singles, “Malignance” and “Petrification.” “For this album, we really didn’t hold back,” Wain said. “We didn’t rush anything, force anything or set ourselves any limits. We started writing before we even knew we were going to be doing a full length, so there was a sense of creative freedom, which was wonderful.” However, the most difficult part in the process of making the album was knowing when to leave a song alone. “We’re sticklers for spicing up our songs and making adjustments to make them as interesting as possible,” Wain said. The band also faced many setbacks during the recording process of the album. The band called it, “The Catch Fire Curse.” “Things started to go wrong, such as software

freezing and loss of recordings and microphones breaking,” Wain said. “It took about six weeks in the end, but we f------ did it.” Before Catch Fire formed in 2015, the members knew each other through mutual friends, but they played for other bands. When their other bands ended, the members wanted to continue making music, leading to the creation of Catch Fire. The band has evolved and changed since its debut album. However, Wain said that while the band members continue to get older as people and better with their instruments, their aspirations remain the same. “We’re still very much the same band with the same goal in mind, just trying new things and exploring ourselves,” Wain said. Wain points to signing with Rude Records as a major turning point for the band. The release of their new album puts into perspective

how far the band has gone. “They took us on with our first-ever release, when we were young and didn’t really know what we were doing,” Wain said. “Fast forward to now, with the music we’re about to release, looking back on the old material is humbling.” Despite Catch Fire’s increased attention, the members haven’t forgotten about their roots. On Nov. 11, the band will be hosting an album release party in their hometown of Nottingham at Rough Trade Records. “It’s where we’re from, and

it’s always given us so much support,” Wain said. “It only felt right that Nottingham hears the album before anyone else.” In light of their album debut, the band hopes to continue to perform and share its music with more people around the world in the upcoming years. “We want to tour and see as much of the world as possible and play our music to as many people as possible,” Wain said. “As cliché as that sounds, that’s all we can ever ask for.” alpasan2@readbuzz.com

Deland’s ‘Altogether Unaccompanied’ is intimate, nostalgic BY KAIQIN WEI STAFF WRITER

“Altogether Unaccompanied” Vol. III & IV, Helena Deland’s new jointly released albums, are a therapeutic, sonic bath. “There is an undeniable cohesion to Vol. III & IV and to the previous iteration of the project; each song is nostalgic, intimate and indelible,” Deland said in a press release . Listening through both volumes, Deland’s assessment of her own work is a fair one. The songs on Vol. III & IV range from synth pop to ’80s alternative, full of electronic sounds that create a dreamy and ambient atmosphere. The minimalism of the lyrics leaves SEE HELENA | 5B
