‘Please tell me where my daughter is’ Yingying Zhang’s family opens up about alleged kidnapping BY KAREN LIU STAFF WRITER

For more than two months, Yingying Zhang’s family waits for answers in a dimly lit, one-story house day after day. The family sat on a set of couches facing away from the window in their rented Urbana home Thursday afternoon, looking at the otherwise empty living room during long moments of silence, which were only interrupted by Yingying’s father’s deep sighs. Lifeng Ye, Yingying’s mother, said she never met suspect Brendt Christensen’s family, though she wanted to. She wanted to learn more about the man

who allegedly kidnapped her daughter. “(Christensen’s) mother is also a mother, so it must be painful for her too. I just want to beg his mother, ask him to tell me where my daughter is,” she said, her voice muffled through cries. “Every mother’s worst nightmare is something like this happening to her child. I stand here every day and look out the window, hoping to see my daughter.” Most of Zhang’s family arrived in the United States in June, but not Ye. She came on Aug. 19. Nearly two months later, she finally saw Christensen for the first time in court on Oct. 11.

Zhang said it was a painful experience. She had to be escorted out before the session started after breaking down in tears. “I really wanted to kill him, but then, I think about his mother,” she said. “Let him take the consequences and take the punishment. If punishment is what he deserved, then punishment is what he should get.” Ye said it’s hard for the family to come all the way from China, have to quickly learn English and have to wait for so long to find Yingying, whom the FBI presumes dead. Ye’s words were interrupted several times by her crying, and she had to be comforted

by Xiaolin Hou, Yingying’s long-time boyfriend. “I am in pain, every night when I go to bed. I hardly get any sleep. I just keep having dreams about my daughter. Please tell me where my daughter is,” Ye said. “Without her, I don’t know how I will go on. I keep dreaming about my daughter. Where is my daughter?” Ronggao Zhang, Yingying’s father, agreed Christensen’s parents should take some responsibility for their son’s actions to earn Yingying’s family’s forgiveness. “My daughter is innoSEE YINGYING | 3A

Native American Guardian Association advocates for Chief Illiniwek BY KARAN ABROL STAFF WRITER

Saturday’s football game against Wisconsin was preceded by a Native American dance performance to show solidarity with the use of Chief Illiniwek’s likeness on campus. The performance was hosted by the Native American Guardian Association, an organization dedicated to preserving Native American imagery and symbolism in American athletics. “We come to find with recent research … most Native American people actually embrace (Native American symbols),” said Mark Thomas Beasley Yellow Horse, president of NAGA. The performance featured an Honor Song in respect for war veterans and both a women’s traditional and a men’s traditional Native American dance. It ended with a Unity song, in which the crowd of over 50 people joined hands and moved in a circle to a slow beat. Beasley said NAGA also focuses on encouraging

more authentic portrayals and educating people who propagate Native American symbolism to do so accurately. “That’s mainly how most people on reservations view it: They like it; they’re proud that they want to use our name and show our heritage,” said Eunice Davidson, a member of the Spirit Lake Sioux tribe. Davidson is a board member of NAGA. The event was primarily in defence of keeping the “Fighting Illini” as the University’s official football team name. “We agree that sometimes the symbols that have been used are not appropriate,” said Andre Billeaudeaux, executive director of NAGA. “But the idea is to educate, not eradicate, and the idea is to improve what you have but never give up the opportunity to teach about Native Americanism.” The organization has traveled to other states to preserve the symbolism used. “We want to support keeping the Fighting Illini.

UI fishes for sustainability in dining halls BY SAM BOYLE STAFF WRITER

The University dining hall staff is working to promote sustainability by collaborating with the Sustainable Student Farm and fishing companies around the Champaign-Urbana area. Dawn Aubrey, director of University Housing for Dining Services, said she views sustainability as having three aspects: people, planet and profit. However, according to Aubrey, profit should be viewed as financial sustainability. “We could come up with something that’s absolutely stupendous, but if it’s something that’s financially burdensome, we haven’t helped you,” Aubrey said. Aubrey said that about two years ago, the University started serving Asian carp to help the ecosystem. The Asian carp is an invasive species that reproduce fairly quickly and do not have any predators, so if they exist in an ecosystem, they will take over quickly. Allen Hall showcased the Asian carp Thursday to promote sustainability in the dining halls, specifically in fishing. “It’s about eating them

to a point where we can reduce the size of the population,” Aubrey said. “(In) over half the United States you have this fish picking up a lot of the food chain,” said fisherman Clint Harvey. Harvey said Asian carp are not only invasive, but dangerous, too. “They jump out of the water. So these fish that can get up to 15 pounds can jump into boats unexpectedly,” Harvey said. To Aubrey, being sustainable means to not have a negative impact on the environment. The dining halls practice sustainability in many other ways as well. Nine years ago, University Dining helped bring about the Sustainable Student Farm. Aubrey said her team likes the food served in the dining halls to be grown and produced locally, aided by the student farm. The pizza sauce served at the FAR dining hall is entirely produced on campus, Aubrey said. Another way the dining halls practice sustainability is through recycling and repurposing. “We’re the only department on campus that recy-

cles glass,” she said. “We actually have encouraged other departments to bring us their glass. We’re happy to recycle it.” Coffee grounds are also recycled, and the dining halls are always looking for ways to repurpose, Aubrey said. “An item might be waste, but if you can repurpose it, then it’s a way of reducing that carbon footprint,” she added. The University has been nationally recognized for sustainability and recent-

ly was awarded an A+ from PETA for the amount of vegan options that University Dining serves. Aubrey said not many students are aware of how sustainable the dining halls are, but think it is important to promote. “It makes me really sad because I would say that the majority of our students have no idea,” Aubrey said. “Having a net-zero carbon footprint, that’s our ultimate goal.” sjboyle2@dailyillini.com

Standing against appropriation

QUENTIN SHAW THE DAILY ILLINI

Protestors against the use of chief Illiniwek formed a blockade at the Homecoming Parade on Friday where they faced University police officers on the corner of Wright and Green streets. Following a meeting with alumni, students with indigenous backgrounds and Native American House staff earlier this week, the Illinois Student Government sent out information that it would be boycotting the parade. During the protest, protesters chanted “not our mascot” and held signs demanding “no more Chief” and called for a new mascot for the next 150 years.

CHIEF although she supports the Chief, she doesn’t think it’s completely authentic. Beasley said that although the logo is nice, it could be altered and that he doesn’t support people wearing the Native American headdress without understanding what it stands for. “The headdress is something for a warrior in Native America to earn … (the design) is a more North West design,” Beasley said. D a v id D a v id s on , Eunice Davidson’s husband, said the beauty of Native American culture was under attack because of people who want to change the football team’s name. “There is nothing derogatory about Native Americans,”David said. “I cry every time I see the dancers coming out and hear the drum beats, because that is who they are and that is what is under attack. The ultimate goal is to get rid of Native Americans and that breaks my heart.” kabrol2@dailyillini.com

YINGYING cent,” Zhang said. “My daughter doesn’t even know him but was harmed by him for no reason. How can we ever accept that?” Hou said they know nothing about the attitude of Christensen’s family and have never had any interactions with them, but they are the only people who can have direct contact with Christensen at the moment. “We hope (Christensen’s) family can find the conscience in their hearts to help us and to talk to him for us,” Hou said. Hou has known Yingying since college. He called her a kind, passionate person. She’s always been forgiving to everyone, and she has always been there for anyone who might need help, Hou said. “There’s a saying in Chinese: The kind will always be rewarded, and the evil will always be punished,” Hou said. “We just don’t understand how such a catastrophe can happen to a girl as kind as her.” Y i n g y i n g ’s f a t h er described her as a smart, respectful and hardworking person. “The one thing I am the most proud of her is that she worked hard ever since she was a little kid and grew up to be someone who always gives back to the family and the society,” he said. Hou said Yingying's dream was to become a college professor and to make contributions to her field of study. He said Yingying came to America because the College of ACES at the University is one of the best in the field. “Studying abroad has always been a dream of hers,” he said. “She has always looked forward to coming to America to experience a different culture and meet different people. For the time that she was here, she was enjoying her busy life.” Hou said part of the family’s life now is to work with the police and the FBI on aspects of the case that require help from the family, such as submission of evidence and plea bargaining. The family also uses their own resources, however limited, to search for leads in the ChampaignUrbana area. “We don’t care about the quality of our lives now anymore. Every single day we are here feels like an entire year. It’s very painful,” Ronggao said. Hou said the family can

They can’t imagine continuing without the help of others. As for after the case is closed, the family has yet to think that far into the future. “The only thing we want is an answer, which is also why we stayed here for so long. All we want is to find Yingying,” Hou said. Editors note: The reporter conucted the interview in Mandarin and translated it accordingly.

Raneem Shamseldin, senior in Business, will advise the judges on ISG’s vision for the award. Mittal said ISG will also be present on all advertisements for the competition. “ISG really wants to see one student or a group of students, who really want to make an organization venture that is really going to make a difference in the lives of people who are, in some cases at the fringe of society — the sick, the persecuted, the poor,” Patel said. “We want to see a venture that is really going to make a difference for people that really need that difference.” Mittal said any ISG members competing in the competition will be excused from winning the prize money for that particular award. “It is just a way to encourage socially conscious entrepreneurship, to kind of incentivize students to be creative and generating new ideas and just being able to do something in a way that respects society,” Haydary said. Mittal said it is up to the students if they wish to further their ideas after the competition with the fundings they earned if they win. Patel said social entrepreneurship always needs support, and he loves seeing ISG supporting social entrepreneurship. “The Cozad competition is a mainstay on this campus, and we hope that the prizes (are going to) spur people with good ideas to turn those ideas into ventures...to have a big impact,” Patel said.

The Illinois Student Government is funding a prize for the Cozad New Venture Competition in 2018. Peter and Kim Fox named the competition to honor Dale Cozad, the founder of Cozad Westchester Agricultural Asset Management. “(A group of) students will start the competition, and they will go through the steps of pitching, creating a business idea (and) business plan,” said Aashay Patel, senior in Engineering. Patel said the groups competing will be judged on the merits of their business plans, and there will not be any eliminations until the very end of the competition. Some prizes are very specific and others are more general, said Patel. Spencer Haydary, senior in LAS, said ISG will be donating $5,000 to the Ignite Prize for Social Innovation. The Ignite Prize for Social Innovation will go to the best student business plan that works toward a social change. “I am very impressed with the creativity of the authors and the sponsors. I think that this is a good way to allocate our funds in a way that benefits our student body,” Haydary said. Mrinaal Mittal, junior in Engineering, said he would like this to become an annual donation by ISG. “We want to see how it plays out, and if the results are successful, we will try and make it into an annual thing,” Patel said. Patel said, along with ISG providing the award money, an ISG representative or student body president coridl2@dailyillini.com

Halloween is a perfect opportunity to treat yourself and avoid stress

H

alloween won’t be the scariest event this year. Stress is everywhere, whether it stems from national security, international crises or the looming threat of midterms and internship applications. Even the scariest Pennywise costume can’t top the horrors of real life. So instead of putting on a creepy clown mask, take some time to do what makes you happiest this Halloween. Go out, be responsible and have fun. Happiness is a radical idea. It’s a classic example of the Millennial buzz word: selfcare. Taking time for yourself is especially hard when every week is an unspoken competition for who’s the most overworked and who pulled the most all-nighters. Dressing up as someone or something

other than yourself can be freeing. Granted, make sure that your happiness isn’t detrimental to someone else’s wellbeing. Now is not the time for a border patrol agent and cultural-stereotype couple’s costume. Your costume shouldn’t inflict further unease and oppression, no matter how cute and clever you think it is. Now that you’ve found your distinctly 2017 costume, go find a house party, bar or event to let loose. It doesn’t matter if it’s a frat house in seniorland or an RSO event in the Union. If you think it sounds fun, go. You deserve it. If you think staying in sounds better than going out all night, don’t feel guilty about it. Try canceling party plans and turning off your phone — ­ it’s a very satisfying break

A broken record: Illinois continues to remind us it cares about sexual assault ISAIAH REYNOLDS COLUMNIST

S

in college. It’s concerning the University isn’t alerting students of many of these cases, which raises questions on how effective preventative measures implemented by the University are. Mandatory programs such as FYCARE and Haven attempt to emphasize the necessity of consent. However, there’s not solid repercussions for not attending. The University needs to identify the failures of these programs and make adjustments in order to ensure a decrease in sexual misconduct. College culture feeds into the objectification and oppression of women, enforcing an ever-present misogynistic ideology. Additionally, those who commit crimes against women should be treated as criminals. These aggressors are not promising, scholarly “Stanford swimmers,” but are assaulters and rapists,. There are a couple of steps the University can take to show it really does care. The University can effectively help survivors by further ensuring a safe and confidential method of reporting these acts of violence and guaranteeing emotional support as well as fair investigation. Revamp the FYCARE and Haven programs so students are not simply completing requirements, but taking away information. There is no quick-fix solution to ending rape culture on college campuses, but enforcing policies in regards to investigations of the incidents as well as a zero-tolerance policy for any act of abuse is one way to reduce the frequency in which sexual assault happens. It’s time that the University, as well other institutions around the country, show they really do care about sexual assault survivors.

emantic satiation: when something is repeated so often it begins to lose its meaning. The recent resurfacing of film producer Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault cases has caused a spark in the discussion of the normalization of sexual abuse. More and more people are coming forward with their stories in the hopes of drawing attention to the rampant frequency in which these encounters occur. However, many of these aggressors, such as R. Kelly, Casey Affleck and President Donald Trump have faced little to no repercussions due to their influence and the established rape culture ingrained in our society. Much like Hollywood, college campuses have a long history of sweeping sexual assault under the rug. “At Illinois, we care,” the infamous and trite selling point of Campus Safety Notices sent every so often whenever a crime is committed on campus., is an example of semantic satiation. According to the University of Illinois Police Department Daily Crime Log, 28 cases of rape and 13 cases of sexual assault or abuse have been reported within the last 60 days, not including incidents that have gone unreported. Since the beginning of this academic year, only five of these cases have prompted Campus Safety Notices to be sent through the University database to reach students. The National Sexual Violence Center reports that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men will experience sexual assault. A survey conducted by the American Association of Universities revealed that 1 in 4 transgender students Isaiah is a sophomore in have experienced sexual Media. abuse since they enrolled idr2@dailyillini.com

from constant notifications. There’s nothing quite as nice as a bag of Halloween candy and a scary movie marathon to celebrate the holiday. If life is scary enough right now, watch “Hocus Pocus” or bingewatch the new season of “Stranger Things.” Whatever makes you happy and comfortable works. Halloween can be about more than a weekend of parties. It’s a good time for mindfulness and relaxation. Give it a try on a recognized holiday and know the rhetoric is applicable for any free night, or a night that you designate as free for yourself. Tomorrow, you’ll catch us decked out in our best costumes, and we hope to see you there too — unless you’re staying in, of course.

experiences with sexual assault before, but it wasn’t until it was marketed in the form of an internet trend that it was met with the response it has now. The people who have experienced the trauma deserve more. For that reason, the #MeToo trend needs to lead to considerable action by those in power at various industries. Following the Harvey Weinstein allegations, it has become apparent that there are large cases of sexual assault present in Hollywood. Many celebrities have expressed that they had no other choice in those situations but to keep to themselves. In the case of Terry Crews, he explains in a series of tweets that he walked away from the situation because the news headline that would follow him taking action on the person who sexually assaulted him would only display Crews in a negative light. For a lot of these celebrities, their choice was to either save their career or take a stand. More times than not they’ve had to walk away. This is a probable case for many people who’ve experienced sexual assault in a professional setting. But it seems that Hollywood does little to pro-

tect those in the industry. Many who have actually been called out and investigated for sexual assault allegations have been met with little to no punishment. Legendary filmmaker Woody Allen was suspected of sexual abusing his adopted daughter. Although Allen went through various lawsuits and was forced to pay over $1 million in legal fees, his case never went much further than that. One would think that such a case would end Allen’s career, but he went on to be nominated for and won several Academy Awards. A similar scenario took place with actor and filmmaker Casey Affleck. On the set of his self-directed documentary, “I’m Still Here,” producer Amanda White reported she had to deal with various occasions where Affleck harassed her both sexually and verbally. Affleck went on to win an Academy Award for best actor that same year, despite public outrage Various cases describe people involved in Hollywood being accused of assault or abuse but remaining in the industry since there’s little evidence to prove the accusations. It’s time that these people of “power” be shown that there are repercussions to taking advantage of others. Allen and Affleck shouldn’t be eligible for notable awards and other filmmakers shouldn’t encourage it either. Sexual assault is real and it is no longer necessary to build awareness around it. The #MeToo movement has done wonders in breaking down barriers and bringing people together. But before it becomes just another trend, there needs to be a next-step scenario offered to all those impacted to provide closure. Hopefully in the near future, these type of campaigns will no longer be necessary to take a stand. Saketh is a sophomore in DGS. ssv2@dailyillini.com

PLAY sweet and lovely,” Dixon said. “It’s sexy but in a non-salacious way.” Dixon said that the play is also very relevant in modern day America “given our current state of affairs.” Coughtry said one of the play’s biggest struggles is for Catherine Givings to be truly seen by her husband. The restraint that society felt was proper in a marriage during this time period, which drives an emotional distance between these two throughout the play. Because women of this time were typically corseted and restrained physically, Coughtry said, it adds to the play’s theme of restraint on a more emotional level as well. “You can’t really be seen when you’re in a corset,” Coughtry said.

“(This play) spoke to me about women not being able to embrace their power, physical, sexual, sensual or otherwise but taking joy in being completely themselves,” Dixon said. The play also spoke to Dixon about finding a partner, male or female, who enjoys you for being completely who you are and being able to live in the world together. Anna Sellas, freshman in Education, attended the play on opening night. To her, the storyline of this play demonstrated much about relationships, but she enjoyed the humor of the performance the most. “Communication in a relationship is vital,” Sellas said. “If you want something in a relationship, you need to talk to your partner about it.” Although much of this play circles around female characters, there is one patient Dr. Givings treats who is a

man and a painter. Sellas found this character to be her favorite from the production, due to his interesting qualities. Throughout the production, Mrs. Givings struggles with feeling like an adequate mother to her newborn daughter. “I wish there was a resolving point with the mother and her child; I wish they would have bonded at some point,” Sellas said. Dixon hopes that after seeing this show and witnessing the characters’ internal struggles, audiences will walk away knowing to accept and love themselves, including all their flaws. “If you’re able to be completely yourself and take joy and pride in who you are, then the world can be a much more positive place,” Dixon said. parina2@dailyillini.com

Sustainable Student Farm serves enriching experience on campus BY IZZY MURILLO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Vegetables and fruits served through the University’s dining halls are grown less than three miles away from campus on a picturesque five-acre farm. Students and volunteers plant, tend and harvest the produce on the Sustainable Student Farm, just south of campus by the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Windsor Road. The farm generates high yields of produce, about 30,000 pounds annually, which is sold to University dining halls, Bevier Café and on-campus farm stands. The farm sells 80 percent of its crops to dining services which creates menu items based on what the farm has. There is no quota they have to meet; however, there is an operating budget that determines how much it grows in order to sell a certain amount of produce.

Simon Pokorny, junior in FAA, worked on the Sustainable Student Farm this past summer as a farmhand. “Being a landscape architecture major, I wanted to sort of get more in tune with the land,” Pokorny said. “I hadn’t really worked like a farmhand job or anything where I was really working with dirt and plants.” The job required him to work early-morning hours into the afternoon planting seeds, tending crops and performing other maintenance tasks. Pokorny credits Matt Turino, the manager, and Stefan Johnsrud, assistant manager, for teaching him everything he now knows about planting and gardening. Since 2012, Turino has worked five seasons on the farm. He previously worked on a farm in North Carolina where he attended school. After graduating, he moved

back to Urbana and started as a farmhand. He then became assistant manager for two years under the management of Zach Grant, the previous manager, before taking over the position three years ago after Grant’s departure. Johnsrud began working at the farm last spring, making this fall his second season. He was working on organic farms in Urbana and Wisconsin before being scouted by Turino. Johnsrud said his favorite aspect of working on the Sustainable Student Farm is the relaxed atmosphere and resources available. “It’s exciting for me to just have access to some of the equipment here that I just wouldn’t be able to try out on my own,” Johnsrud said. “I’m looking forward to starting my own farm soon. And I’ll have a better idea about what gear I’ll want to purchase — without the

personal expense of buying it, and trying it, and going through all that trouble.” The Sustainable Student Farm is vast in size, and aside from farmland, there are high tunnels that allow for year-round production. With winter approaching, certain vegetables that aren’t cold tolerant are already done being harvested. But carrots, broccoli and other greens will continue to grow in the field until November when they must be collected due to frost. The farm is currently not USDA Certified Organic, though they use USDA Organic Standards. Organic practices mean they use minimal spraying, crop rotations and promote field fertility. Turino said they are attempting to perfect their food safety certification before possibly attempting the organic certification in the future.

The farm received its Good Agricultural Practices certification which ensures healthy sanitation procedures. GAP calls for highly strict export procedures and record keeping so that there is a paper trail to monitor the produce. The farm is run by workers and volunteers who can sign up through the farm’s website. Though some of them may have worked on another farm beforehand, Turino said that is not true for most. “The vast majority, in the 90 percentile range if not higher, have no farm experience before volunteering or working for us,” Turino said. The farm doesn’t rely on volunteers, but they are encouraged to apply and are largely welcomed. Johnsrud said he would like any future volunteers to check out the farm and give it a try. “We do have tours for groups if people are inter-

ested in seeing the place or excited to see what a small vegetable farm looks like and if they’re interested in experiencing it or working here,” Johnsrud said. “That’s the reason we’re here as far as we’re concerned.” The experience of working as a farm hand can be a unique and enriching experience. Working with your hands and producing something worthwhile is but one of the reasons people volunteer on the farm. Pokorny said he would like to work back on the farm in the future. He learned a lot from his experience and believes others will too. “For anyone that’s interested, I’d say just try it; get out there,” Pokorny said. “Volunteer for a day. You don’t know how much you’ll like it until you’re out there. It’s really, really fun (and a) great learning experience.” imuril2@dailyillini.com

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed at the Krannert Center for Performing Arts on Saturday.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra plays sold-out show BY CHRIS JENIG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Krannert Center for the Performing Arts hosted one of the finest symphonies in the world — a group that many music lovers pay a large amount of money to see in its hometown of Chicago. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra visited the Krannert Center to a sold-out crowd, on Oct. 28. Nick Puddicombe, codirector of Patron Services, said they expected over 2,000 attendees. His prediction wasn't wrong. The lobby was flooded with patrons, from undistinguished students, to welldressed, classy elites sipping red wine and whiskey. It’s not often that a college student, or anyone, gets the opportunity to check out one of the world's greatest symphonies for the low price of $10. Puddicombe credited the cheap tickets to last year's student vote, which allowed them to

maintain a $10 price. “It had a great affirmation, over 75 percent voted a ‘Yes,’” Puddicombe said. Puddicombe is highly involved in the production of shows at Krannert. To set up for the orchestra performance, Puddicombe said they came in with a couple semi-trucks full of road boxes, each containing an instrument. Krannert was cleaned before the performance, and space was set aside in Krannert’s underbelly so the orchestra could rehearse. The orchestra performed three pieces, starting with Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Suite” from the 1954 Marlon Brando movie “On the Waterfront.” Then came Samuel Barber's “Violin Concerto, Op. 14,” a fiddle-riddled masterpiece dominated by its chief violinist, James Ehnes. The luscious opening suddenly turned playful, then moving, paused,

became somber and then paused again. Finally, the solo violinist picked up speed, and the violinists around him set Ehnes up for a masterful finish. Ehnes faced the crowd after his performance to acknowledge his love of the Krannert Center, specifically Foellinger Great Hall. “This is one of the greatest halls anywhere,” Ehnes said. He then performed an impromptu Bach solo, which was followed by an intermission. Finally, for the third score, the orchestra performed Sergei Rachmaninov’s “Symphonic Dances, Op. 45.” This piece was written during the outbreak of World War II, just after Rachmaninov and his wife Natalya left Europe for the United States. The 35-minute piece, the longest of the night, gave each group within the orchestra a chance to shine. The composer directed the

separate classes of instruments to play individually and show off their gusto. This piece revealed the range of the orchestra. The tone shifted and percussion, brass, woodwind and string each got their chance to carry the piece. After the finale, the orchestra received a standing ovation. The credit for the orchestra’s dynamism and excellence must be largely accredited to its conductor, the maestro James Gaffigan. He was energetic and intensely animated throughout the performance, appearing to be dancing with or in combat with each piece. After the show, Gaffigan went into the donor's room to shake hands with the donors and imbibe a little champagne. Once again, Gaffigan praised the “beautiful hall.” “I think people forget that a great hall is like a great instrument for a great

orchestra, so we were able to play soft, loud and be able to hear each other on stage,” he said. For Ryan Schiffer, sophomore in Engineering, who played band in high school, seeing the orchestra was a joyful experience. “I’m really amazed by the opportunity that the University has to bring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra here. I'll definitely be returning next year,” Schiffer said. Gaffigan also had some words for all the aspiring musicians in the audience, like Schiffer. “I think you learn a lot about yourself in playing chamber music, in playing within an orchestra — being a part of a bigger picture. And I would just say, keep at it,” Gaffigan said. “It's more than just a profession, it's a life-

style, and it's very important.” cjenig2@ dailyillini. com

‘In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play’ demonstrates 1800s feminine struggles BY PARI APOSTOLAKOS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Walking into the Studio Theatre at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, the audience is greeted by an arrangement of rugs, sofas and coffee tables placed to look like a living room. However, there is another room within the set, separated from the rest by a door, containing little more than what appears to be an oper-

ating table and odd-looking medical tools. “In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play” opened on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and ran through Sunday. The cast’s rehearsals for the production began in mid-September. The play is set in the United States during the late 1800s, just after the Civil War and Thomas Edison’s discovery of electricity. The plot circles

around Dr. Givings, a man who can best be described as an early form of a gynecologist, along with his wife and the patients whom Dr. Givings treats in his home. Dr. Givings uses an early form of a vibrator to treat women who suffer from “hysteria.” This was a common diagnosis for women who were often anxious or fatigued during this time

period. The play is also set in a time of rapid advancement — a period where people were both fascinated and terrified of what science and the newly discovered electricity had to offer. Jordan Coughtry, graduate student in FAA, plays the role of Dr. Givings. “I relate to (my character’s) blind spots. I relate to his love

of his wife,” Coughtry said. The philosophy Dr. Givings has is that “these are the rules of life, and we are going to follow these rules ... because that is all he knows,” Coughtry said. “His work is his world.” Coughtry said if he could give one piece of advice to his character, it would be to stop knowing and start listening, especially when it comes to his own wife. He explained

throughout the play he eventually realizes that fact. “He doesn’t really know how to help (his wife),” Coughtry said. Lisa Gaye Dixon, associate professor of theatre at the University, directed the production. “I think (the show) is funny, quirky; I think it’s very SEE PLAY | 5A

Turnovers cost the Illini a shot at an upset BY MIKE GASICK STAFF WRITER

The Illini offense brought more of the same in its loss to the Badgers Saturday. The Illinois coaching staff continued rolling with a two-quarterback system, going with Cam Thomas and Jeff George Jr. to face the No. 5 team in the country. Illinois (2-6, 0-5 Big Ten) did not have much success with the system, losing 24-10 to Wisconsin (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten). “I thought for the most part our guys played well,” said head coach Lovie Smith. “We went against an outstanding defense and couldn’t establish the run. We just didn’t have enough consistency to win.” Thomas’ first drive did not go the way he had hoped. He threw two incompletions and an interception following a Wisconsin three-and-out. The freshman responded better in his next drive, highlighted by a 29-yard completion to Malik Turner, but the drive stalled before the Illini could put points on the board. He finished with seven completions for 44 yards and two interceptions. The freshman has three interceptions on the season. He added 78 rushing yards. George was not much better. The sophomore took too much time to throw the ball on a third-down play in the second quarter that resulted in a sack and fumble. The turnover led to Garrett Groshek’s run of two yards to put the Badgers up 14-0. Rafael Gaglianone also hit a 52-yard field goal to end the half. The Badgers also out-

touchdown, but at the end of the day, it’s about the team, and we lost,” senior Kendrick Foster said. “Defense played a heck of a game, and offense just has to convert on those turnovers, and I put that on me.” Sophomore Reggie Corbin had four carries and rushed for 18 yards. The offensive line played a clean game and gave both Thomas and George enough time to get rid of the ball. The Illini defense kept the team in the game, though. Del’Shawn Phillips and Stanley Green were all over the field, keeping opposing running back Jonathan Taylor in check. Tymir Oliver recorded a sack and a tackle for a loss as well. Bennett Williams also picked off Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook. He said he was impressed with the defense today. “Me and Stan (Green) came out and we were like ‘man, let’s go hit and hit,’” said Bennett Williams. “Seeing Stan all game, completely pumped up after every play, I was like ‘if he can do that, why can’t we?’” Taylor finished with 12 carries for 73 yards.

Illinois swept by No. 1 Penn State at home BY MEGHAN REST STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s volleyball team proved they could battle with the best. The Illini put up a fight in the first set – almost pulling off the upset – but they lost 30-28. The Illini then felt the heat from the No. 1 ranked Nittany Lions. Penn State controlled each of the following sets — winning 25-11 and 25-15 — to sweep Illinois in Champaign Saturday night. The defeat drops No. 23 Illinois to 16-7 overall and 7-5 in the Big Ten. In the first set, the Illini registered 18 kills, nearly, rivaling the Nittany Lions

20. They hit a game-high .283 percent while holding Penn State to .326 percent. Each team ended the set with 46 total offensive attempts and five errors. Head coach Chris Tamas said Penn State separated itself from Illinois after the first set, flexing its veteran muscle on the Illini’s home court. “I think we talked about it a lot between two and three,” Tamas said. “They’re a very senior-heavy team and they’re all-American seniors at that. It was a good lesson for us, how a good team keeps competing and keeps coming at you.” Spectators at Huff saw

two overturned calls land in favor of Illinois, in addition to a slew of wild balls that flew into the crowd. According to Tamas, the Illini lost when they attempted to match their opponent’s playing style. “I think we felt after that set, we had to do more somehow,” Tamas said. “I told them again in between two and three we don’t have to do more, we don’t have to do any different.

Two seniors get one last shot BY JARED FARMER STAFF WRITER

In preparation for the Big Ten Championships, the Illinois men’s cross country team rested its main lineup during the Illini Open Invite. With the top runners out, some of those runners who usually compete in the races got the chance to be the main scorers on the team. For this year’s Illini Open, the three runners who represented the men’s team

were seniors Alex Gold and Joe Cowlin, and freshman Alex Keeble. For Gold and Cowlin, it was the last race of their Illini cross country careers. Originally playing baseball and basketball in middle school, Gold chose to start running cross country after watching his older brother run in the IHSA State cross country race, and it quickly became Gold’s favorite sport through high

school. Cowlin decided to start running cross country after previously playing baseball and soccer as a kid. “My favorite part and the part that I felt I was best at in baseball was stealing bases, and in soccer, I just loved popping the ball past guys and outrunning them on the sidelines,” Cowlin said. “I just loved competing SEE MEN’S XC| 3B

Grading Illinois’ 24-10 Homecoming loss to Wisconsin BY THE DAILY ILLINI FOOTBALL STAFF

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini football writers graded each facet of the Illinois football team’s 24-10 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday. The Illini offense, defense, special teams and coaching were graded.

Offense The Illini had every opportunity to make this game competitive, but once again the offense couldn’t get anything going. The Illini only scored three points through the first three quarters. The Illini quarterbacks, Jeff George Jr. and Cam Thomas, completed a combined nine passes on 31 attempts for 152 passing yards on the game, and

D-

Special teams

Thomas threw two interceptions. While Thomas had another solid game running the ball, the Illini running back was unable to find much room to run against the Badgers’ solid front seven. The Badgers’ defensive line dominated the young Illini offensive line, sacking the quarterback five times and finishing with nine tackles for losses.

C-

One of the biggest plays of the game came after Illinois stopped Wisconsin deep in its own territory. As the punt return team entered the field, it was called for an illegal substitution that gave the Badgers a first down. Wisconsin would end up scoring on that drive to give it an early lead. It was a mistake that totally shifted the tone of the game. Blake Hayes continues to impress

Defense The Illini defense came to play against Wisconsin, and it kept the Illini in the game until the very end. The run defense was night-and-day compared to how it has been playing against the Big Ten opposition thus far, holding Wisconsin’s potent rushing attack to 3.7 yards-percarry. Del’Shawn Phillips returned at linebacker and Pat Nelson returned at safe-

ty, and the two made a huge impact, combining for 18 tackles on the day. Without any help from the offense, the defense managed to hold Wisconsin under 20 points through three quarters. Bennett Williams continued his impressive freshman campaign at safety, picking off Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook early in the second quarter.

C

Defensive coordinator Hardy Nickerson prepared his squad well for the rushing attacks it had faced Saturday. Jonathan Taylor came into the game as the leading rusher in the Big Ten and has already set freshman records this season. The defense looked strong and ready to attack Taylor from the beginning of the game. Offensive coordinator Garrick McGee

went with the two-quarterback system again, that proved rather ineffective for the second-straight week. It’s nice to get Cam Thomas in the game and give him valuable reps, but the offense is really struggling. McGee and Smith will have to evaluate how to improve Thomas’ throwing because he is one of the fastest athletes in college football.

Foster gets his rhythm back in return as starting running back BY JACOB DIAZ STAFF WRITER

After losing his starting running back spot after the first game of the season, Kendrick Foster was deflated. The senior running back was named to the Doak Walker award watchlist — an award for college football’s top running back — and spent the offseason hearing Illinois head coach Lovie Smith talking him up, only to be relegated to special teams duties for most of the season. “You kind of take things for granted from last season until now,” Foster said. “You finally realize how fortunate you are to carry the ball, to be out there on the field. (The last few weeks) have been humbling, for sure.” Foster lost his starting spot to true freshman Mike Epstein, who emerged as one of the better players on the Illini offense before a foot injury ended his season early. After Esptein went down, Ra’Von Bonner stepped into the starting role, and

a returning Reggie Corbin offered a change of pace. Foster was unable to find a role in the offense and only carried the ball twice in Illinois’ last five games before Wisconsin. But with Bonner sidelined with an injury this week, Smith turned to Foster with No. 5 Wisconsin coming to Champaign. It was the opportunity that Foster had been waiting for. “I have an opportunity to prove that I’m one of the best running backs in the Big Ten still,” Foster said. “This is my time to remind why I am on that top running backs in the country list.” Foster admitted that he felt rusty at the beginning of the game, but said that by the end of the game he had found his rhythm again. He credited his focus on the smaller details, like pass blocking, with helping him get up to game speed. “It doesn’t get noted on the stat book, but I take pride in blocking 6-foottwo-inch 250-pound linebackers,” Foster said. “Espe-

cially being a smaller back in the Big Ten, I get pumped up about it.” The 5-foot-nine-inch, 190-pound back finished the game with 66 yards on 15 carries in the loss. He also scored his first touchdown of the season late in the fourth quarter. “It’s good to get that monkey off your back and get your first (touchdown),” Foster said. “But at the end of the day it’s about the team, and we lost. We had opportunities to get ahead, but the offense has to convert on those turnovers. I put that on me.” Foster said he holds himself to a high standard. While he was happy about what had been accomplished, he was critical of his own performance. He caught himself trying to force big plays with the ball in his hands, and that he expects to take advantage of opportunities he gets throughout the rest of the season. With his final Homecoming game in the books, Foster has started to think

tion, and it’s moved mountains and opened doors for me. I love this game and I’m willing to put everything on the line for it.” jvdiaz2@dailyillini.com

Illinois to play exhibition game at Eastern Illinois the first game. He was hired by Eastern Illinois in April, one month after being fired by Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman. First-year head coach Brad Underwood’s young squad has already played against Indiana State in a “secret scrimmage” at Ubben Basketball Complex, but the upcoming contest in Charleston serves as the first public competition for the Illini. “I’m a kid in a candy store at the start of every season,” Underwood said during Illinois basketball media day. He further elaborated about how he’d even theoretically show a similar level of interest in starting from scratch on the court with a group of “seventh-graders.” The exhibition comes exactly one week in advance of the team’s home debut against the Southern Jaguars as part of the Global Sports Invitational. Illinois has a short turnaround, competing once more against UT Martin at the State Farm Center on Nov. 12. “I relish and love the opportunity to put pieces of the puzzle together and see how they fit,” said Underwood.

The Illini play on the road in a special exhibition game against Eastern Illinois on Friday. Both teams were granted a one-time waiver by the NCAA to play in an additional preseason game due to event proceeds going to a predetermined disaster relief effort. Illinois takes the floor at 7 p.m. following the Eastern Illinois women’s competition against Indiana State. The women’s tipoff at 4 p.m. with doors opening at 3:30 p.m. All proceeds from the doubleheader at the Lantz Arena will benefit the American Red Cross. The exhibition is the first time in school history the men will compete in Charleston. Last season, Eastern Illinois finished 14-15 overall, and 6-10 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Panthers lost only two seniors at the end of the season. Illinois missed the NCAA Tournament after falling short to Michigan in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. The Illini ended the season 20-15 overall and 8-10 in Big Ten play. Former Illinois women’s basketball coach Matt Bollant wgerard2@dailyillini.com leads the women Panthers in @WillGerard10

from a speed standpoint, so when I started cross country around sixth grade, it kind of just took off from there.” Both Gold and Cowlin joined the men’s cross country team in 2013 and were some of the first runners who coach Jake Stewart recruited. “The thing that mainly made me commit here was the ambition of the program,” Cowlin said. “A lot of other schools would talk to me about their own history and what they’ve done in the past, but coach Stewart wanted to give us the opportunity to build something from the ground up and so that forward thinking is what really made me excited.” Since their freshman years, both Gold and Cowlin have witnessed positive changes to the team. “Throughout these past couple of years, I think we’ve all gotten more on board with Coach Stewart’s mission and have really gotten to know him,” Gold said. “I think the coolest thing about it all is that we’ve grown as a team, and it’s really cool because Coach Stewart has really grown with us.” The changes brought in early on have allowed both Gold and Cowlin to go through ups and downs while being key contributors to the Illini. “It was an unbelievable feeling to see all the hard work we put in pay off,” Gold said. “Making Nationals as a team as well as being at the top of Big Ten’s was a goal that everyone on this team had.” While finishing No. 2 in the Big Ten’s during the 2015 season and qualifying for Nationals during the 2016 season, both Gold and Cowlin have valued the

they tried to duplicate Penn State’s game. “We didn’t play how we do day-to-day,” Poulter said. “They bounce balls, and we tried to replicate that and make it a bouncing game, and unfortunately their clock was a little more solid.” Despite the Illini’s sweep at home, sophomore Jacqueline Quade capitalized on offense. She led the Illini with 16 total kills on a .406 hitting percentage. She said Penn State ultimately played at a different level than Illinois. “They’re a team that’s going to bounce balls a lot,” Quade said.

daily grind that comes with the practices, whether it was a workout, long run or just a rainy day. They also value the bond they’ve created with the other runners on the team. “One of my favorite moments actually came from a 20-mile run that Alex and I went on,” Cowlin said. “Coach had mapped out an out-and-back run during our camping trip to Galena one summer, and we were the only ones who had to run 20 that day. But since we went out an extra mile, we had to run the next 10 back by ourselves. It also didn’t help that the last mile out was down a pretty steep hill, so we had to run uphill for the first mile back. It’s actually kind of hilarious because when we told everyone else, they wouldn’t

believe it.” While still being a contributor to the team, Cowlin has also faced adversity and setbacks due to a number of injuries throughout his collegiate career, namely flaring up his glutes at the start of his freshman year (a stress reaction in his tibia during his sophomore year) and injured quads going into his junior year. However, Cowlin has made it a point to stay positive and focused and always found ways to bounce back, reinforcing the hard work ethic the team has adopted under Stewart. “I think I finished in a way that really spoke to my career,” Cowlin said. “Looking back at it, of course I wouldn’t have wanted to put up with the injuries, but I feel like I dealt with them

and came back exactly how I should have. And I finished it out exactly how I wanted to." Both Gold and Cowlin were grateful for their opportunities to compete at Illinois over their careers. Each runner spoke of their respect and appreciation for the coaching staff and program and left the field after the Illini Open with proud hearts. “Once I was in (the Illini Open), it really hit home that this would be it,” Gold said. “It was unbelievable how amazing it was to finish out on our home course, with all my friends and family there. It was definitely awesome for me to go out one last time and leave it all on the field, and I’ll never forget that.” jaredef2@dailyillini.com

cally) as them, so I think we were trying to match them bouncing it. That’s not our play and that’s not who we are. So (we need to try) to stick with what we know.” Although Illinois put up a fight in the first set, Tamas said it came down to Penn State simply being the better team. “They played better. They’re the No. 1 ranked team in the country for a reason,” Tamas said. “When you play those teams — we played a couple weeks ago against Nebraska — they keep coming at you, and they come at you hard. They serve tough the whole match through. We have a few things that usually work for us, and they stopped it.”

McGing to sink the emptynet goal with only 51 seconds left in the game, essentially securing the victory. Senior goaltender David Heflin did say that Lindenwood is normally his “kryptonite,” but didn’t let that stop him as he came up huge for Illinois in the Saturday game, stopping 35 of the 36 shots he faced. “It’s great to see that monkey off my back,” Heflin said. “It definitely helps my confidence and there’s a lot to build off of that.” Illinois will be back in action next week at home when they face Iowa State, and winning majority points against Lindenwood is a big confidence for the team heading down the stretch. “Getting majority points on a team like that, especially on the road really shows the potential this team has,” Heflin said. “Up and down the lineup, everybody made sacrifices both nights to get those four points, and I couldn’t be more proud of my teammates this weekend.”

the loss in overtime on the road still put them in a spot to win the overall majority in points on the weekend against Lindenwood. And that’s exactly what the Illini did when they took down the Lions 3-1 in the series finale on Saturday. “This is the first time in mine and a few other guy’s career beating Lindenwood at their home rink,” said senior Eric Cruickshank. “I’m pretty speechless at this point. No scoring broke through in the first period, but Ernsting soon changed that when he fired a shot from the left faceoff circle to give his team the lead. Senior defenseman and captain Joseph Ritondale followed suit with a goal of his own with 5:44 left to go in the period. The Lions did eventually get on the board in the third period thanks to a goal from Kalau, but a turnover at their own blue line allowed for sports@dailyillini.com

If you have a friend or significant other that you want to dress up with, then the American Gothic painting might be the right option for you. To complete the man’s outfit, find a pair of blue overalls, a white undershirt and a black suit jacket or blazer. Add a pair of round, wire-rimmed glasses and a pitchfork to go the extra mile. For the woman, wear a white collared shirt, black long-sleeved shirt and a sleeveless brown dress or apron. Pull your hair back in a bun and try to look as serious as possible when posing for pictures. If you and your partner want to wow the crowd, make a rectangular frame out of cardboard and paint it gold or brown.

The piñata costume is for those who want to go the extra mile. You will need a nude, gray, black or white dress or leotard, crepe paper, a hot glue gun and scissors. The paper should be blue, pink, yellow and purple. If you do not have crepe paper available, any rolls of left- savoss2@readbuzz.com

Evan Lyman of Deadly Habits has a ‘Night Vision’ BY EMILY PEASE BUZZ WRITER

In June, former buzz Editor-in-Chief and Illinois alum, Evan Lyman debuted “Night Vision” under the moniker Deadly Habits. We sat down with Lyman to discuss the new album, his plans for the future and how buzz impacted his career.

buzz: You’ve mentioned

you’ve drawn influence from Blood Orange, who has put out some really cool stuff in the past, and David Lynch, who has really incredible sound design. Give us a few words on what inspired you on this debut project and what you intended for its sound.

Evan Lyman: David Lynch

obviously is a director of movies and TV. He did “Twin Peaks,” which is pretty culturally relevant right now because it came back to Showtime, and it’s pretty incredible. He actually heavily, heavily influenced “Night Vision” because a lot of his work is kind of about the subconscious mind, dreams, meditation, essentially those kind of things and how those kind of seep into our real lives, our waking lives and the thoughts that we have, the desires that we have whether

we like it or not. The idea behind “Night Vision” was (that) I wanted to release something that from beginning to end took the listener on a journey and told a story. And that story was meant to feel and seem and behave like a lucid dream. So it was meant to, from beginning to end, take you on this journey like in a lucid dream where maybe you’re walking down a hallway or down a path; you think you know where you’re going and then when you get there, you open a door and it leads to a totally different place and that kind of was the basis of what “Night Vision” is. Blood Orange is a huge influence on me as well. I look at him as one of the people that made me think I can do this. He’s a direct inspiration because he is a guitarist, he is a producer, a songwriter, he sings but he’s not only a singer, and on his albums, he’s not necessarily the lead singer on every song, which is similar to how “Night Vision” is. I sing on some songs, but I work with my girlfriend Animah (Boakye); she’s kind of the lead singer for the project.

You’re a University alum and a former buzz editor. How has your involvement in buzz impacted your life? Moving forward in your career with music, how does writing play in?

Evan Lyman belongs to the experimental hip hop and rhythm and blues group Deadly Habits. The group just released their first EP and also a visual component, influenced by director David Lynch, to accompany the tracks.

Find people and stick around people that are going to either help you make it happen or believe that it can happen. Those are the people you need in your corner. I’m working 9-5. I still have a regular job. That stardom has not hit by any means, but the more you believe that’s possible, the more you’re willing to

sacrifice and work to make it happen, the more likely it is to happen. I would just say that you should have that goal, whatever that goal is, in your head, and you should be making steps toward it every day. Then, it’s going to happen. epease2@readbuzz.com
