UI proposes in-state tuition freeze for third consecutive year
Students honor Martin Luther King Jr.
Tuition to increase 1.8 percent for out-of-state freshmen and others

The new year renewed old budget questions for the University. Funding from the state, allocated in a stopgap budget passed in June, expired Jan. 1. The Illinois General Assembly has begun negotiations on a permanent budget, but until anything is passed, higher education remains unfunded. The University received a $47 million payment from the state last week, University Spokesman Tom Hardy said in an email, completing “virtually all” of the $351 million payments promised in the stopgap budget. However, despite the stopgap budget, the University is still short about half of the $644 million it was promised for fiscal year 2015.

Classes will be held in an additional building this semester, as the University’s Chemistry Annex is ready for students for the first time since renovations began in 2014. The Chemistry Annex was built in 1930 and adds 39,000 square feet to the chemistry department’s existing facilities in Noyes Laboratory. The Annex has hardly been updated since its initial construction before undergoing renovation, said Christian Ray, the director of general chemistry at the University. “In the Chem Annex, a lot of (laboratory spaces) were the original labs, so many of them really hadn’t been touched in 60 or 70 years,” Ray said. “It wasn’t JESSICA JUTZI THE DAILY ILLINI a safety issue, but we wanted to The Chemistry Annex is a newly renovated building that started improve the experience the stu- construction in 2014 and is now open for the spring semester. dents have and actually give them a modern lab experience.” less, Ray said the department is Chemistry Annex Timeline The improvements to the lab excited to be back in the Annex. 1878 - The Chemistry spaces were the primary goal Chemistry professors contribDepartment moves into its of the renovation, Ray said. uted to the build’s design, Ray They also implemented better said.

In 2016, the University received 28 percent of the funding the state pledged in 2015, according to Jennifer Creasey, director of state relations for the office of government relations. “It’s just crazy,” she said. “It just keeps getting worse, snowballing the more it goes.” The University has urged lawmakers to provide funding for both 2016 and 2017 that match the $644 million pledged in 2015. Creasey hopes the state will award the money, but concedes she doesn’t think it is very likely. In the meantime, the University has prepared for the funding to disappear through “belt tightening, operational and administrative efficiencies, reliance on cash available,” and “second semester tuition receipts,” Hardy said. It has also imposed salary freezes, hiring freezes and natural attrition, or reduction, of faculty and non-instructional staff. He said the University will survive the academic year with-

Prior to October 2016, students living in residence halls had six months to opt out of their housing contract. Now, they only have 30 days. If a student wants to change their housing plans, he or she now has 30 days to do so after signing a housing contract. Alma Sealine, director of University Housing, said that the changes in contract were in fact not sudden, but have been devised throughout the fall semester. “It has been a change that we have put together and have communicated to the residence hall students before housing signup started in October,” Sealine said. She said that when reviewing
their data, they found that several students were holding on to preferred spaces throughout the six month time frame for room reselection that other individuals did not have access to. “We put together this process in order to still allow for a six month housing signup, but 30-day contract process in which after 30 days you are tied to the contract,” Sealine said. Alexis Kahn, junior in Nursing, said that she sees the contract adjustments as a positive change. “I know it’s what a lot of the other universities do,” Kahn said. “If it has already helped students choose housing, then it was a move in the right direction.” The contract states that after the 30 days from signing, stu-

dents are held to their contract terms and conditions. The settlement fee for opting out of the contract is 50 percent before the fi rst day of the fall semester, and 75 percent after the fi rst day of occupancy. “This is still the most flexible contract process in the Champaign-Urbana area,” Sealine said. “With most off-campus apartments, once you sign that contract you are held to it, and if you cancel, the settlement fee is 100 percent.” These contract changes were brought about by the University in response to different factors, the most important being student experience, Sealine said.

Updated housing contract limits students’ options BY JESSICA BERBEY
The University is proposing to freeze in-state tuition for incoming freshmen this fall, for the third consecutive year. H o w e v e r, graduate and i nter n at ion al students a nd out- ofstate freshmen would see a 1.8 percent tuition increase. President Timothy This would Killeen be the longest consecutive freeze in tuition rates in 40 years. The University froze tuition for four years from 1974 to 1977. The proposal was made during the Board of Trustees’ Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities committee meeting on Jan. 9. President Timothy Killeen said the proposal reflects a commitment to affordability and was proposed despite a two-year state budget impasse that has signifi cantly reduced state funding to the University by $750 million. “Our commitment to affordability has helped systemwide enrollment grow to record highs each of the last two years, providing life-changing opportunities for students and building on the pipeline of world-class talent that is critical to moving the state of Illinois forward,” Killeen said in a press release. In-state base tuition would match the 2014-15 academic year at $12,036 a year; however, some students must pay more to cover additional costs of their major, such as students studying engineering. Killeen’s proposed Investment, Performance and Accountability Commitment bill seeks to provide predictable state funding over the next five years in exchange for completing performance goals. The bill, introduced in legislature in November, would hold tuition increases to the rate of infl ation if approved. Room-and-board costs are not expected to increase, holding at $10,612 per year with a standard double room and meal plan. Student fees are proposed to increase by 0.5 percent or $16 a year. The board will consider the proposal at its Jan. 19 meeting in Chicago.
Students participated in service projects such as blanket making to better the community for MLK Service Day on Monday in the Illini Union. They also learned about the impact Martin Luther King Jr. had on the world.

Interim provost leaving University for Oregon State BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER
Ed Feser, interim vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost, is leaving the University for Oregon State University. Feser will start as Oregon State’s provost and executive vice president Feb. 28, replacing Ron Adams, who has served as interim since July 1. Feser has served as interim vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost since Sept. 2015. C h a nc el lor Ro b er t Jones offered Feser the p er m a ne nt p o sit io n , according to Feser, but he declined and accepted Oregon State’s offer. Feser insists the state budget crisis did not influence his departure, but the location did. He grew up in Montana, Washington and northern California, and his family lives in Arizona and northern and southern California. “Lots of states have budget challenges,” Feser said. “In fact, Oregon also has budget challenges. It doesn’t have kind of the extreme issues we have in Illinois at the moment, but eventually our situation in Illinois will be resolved, so that wasn’t really a push factor for me. It was really

Cracked to open restaurant in location formerly occupied by Antonio’s Pizza
BRIAN BAUER THE DAILY ILLINI
Cracked food truck parked in Urbana as employees prepare to serve breakfast. The food trucks will continue to serve the campus community once the Cracked storefront opens.

Daniel Krause, Cracked food truck owner, posted this photo on his personal Facebook page with the caption “I bought a restaurant!!” on Dec. 22, 2016. BY JOSEPH LONGO ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Cracked, the breakfast food truck, announced over winter break that it will open a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Campustown. However, another campus business will be out of a location. In a post on his personal Facebook page, owner Daniel Krause confirmed that Cracked will move into the space currently occupied by Antonio’s Pizza at 619 E. Green St. in Champaign. Over the past few months, several restaurant changes occurred on the
600 block of Green. Slice Factory, a Chicago-based pizza franchise, is expected to open in January 2017. Also around town, Giordano's opened at the Market Place Mall in Champaign and Portillo's held a groundbreaking ceremony at its new Champaign location, 2306 N. Prospect Ave., over break. Earlier this month, Antonio's general manager Yazi Ferhi told The Daily Illini he was not concerned about the competition. “Having (Slice Factory) there, honestly, I don’t care. It doesn’t bother me at all,”
Ferhi said. “The only thing I care about is from that front door to the inside. I take care of my customers, I have good food, Antonio’s has a good reputation here on campus — and that’s enough for me.” While it is not known whether Antonio's will occupy a new location or leave campus, information about its Champaign location has been removed on its national website. Cracked and Antonio's did not immediately return requests for comment.

Emma realized her greatest potential was in helping others overcome the impossible. She didn’t enroll in the Carey Business School to learn how to lead. She did it to make an impact.

Facebook partners with the University on research BY SAM SCHRAGE STAFF WRITER
Facebook has become the most popular social media site in the world, with 1.79 billion monthly active users in 2016. Facebook’s high demand has led members of the Facebook team to invest in ways to fi nd new revenue streams in virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Building 8 is where hardware and software products are built and tested, and to help fulfi ll Building 8’s goals, Facebook announced a partnership with the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign and 15 other universities across the U.S. The partnership is officially titled the Sponsored Academic Research Agreement or SARA. It is overseen by Regina Dugan, head of Building 8. SARA will be benefi cial not only to Facebook, but also to researchers at the University who have the opportunity to gather research and develop technology that effects the future of Facebook and the social media industry. “The Sponsored Academic Research Agreement with Facebook is exciting because it makes it easier and quicker for researchers on our campus to do projects with Facebook. They will not have to renegotiate an agreement every time a new opportunity comes
up, meaning that researchers can get to work quickly,” wrote Katheryne Rehberg, associate director at the Office of Corporate Relations, in an email. Not only will research at the University be launched soon, but collaboration between all 16 universities and Facebook will happen within a few weeks, Dugan said. This collaboration is sure to bring about advancements that not only improve Facebook’s site, but also other businesses and compa-

nies hoping to achieve the same goals as Facebook. “I feel that there will be a lot of advancements that businesses will be able to use to help improve themselves. I also think that Facebook will be able to use these advancements to create products that consumers want and to help make sure
these products succeed,” wrote Matthew Tyiran, sophomore in Engineering, in an email. Facebook’s decision to include the University in its partnership comes as no surprise, with the University being ranked the 11th best public college and the 35th best research university, according to Forbes Magazine. The research the University will be doing for this project is very similar to the type of research the University is known for. “The University of Illinois is noted for collaborative, interdisciplinary research that addresses challenging scientific and technical questions, from all corners of campus,” Rehberg said. The University continues to fi nd ways for its students to be academically involved on campus and apply what they learn in the classroom to real-life research projects. “UIUC is already known as a research institution, but this shows how UIUC is coming up with more opportunities for its students to do research. UIUC is now showing that it has the skills and resources to succeed. This research will allow technology to constantly improve more and more quickly,” Tyiran wrote.

The research will also cover a large scope of disciplines across campus, allowing a wide range and number of investigators and even students to be involved. “SARA covers the entire campus, so an investigator from any discipline — from Engineering to Business, from LAS to FAA, and everywhere in between — could be involved, depending on Facebook’s needs,” Rehberg wrote.

CONTRACT Students who currently live in residence halls have the advantage of resigning their lease and keeping their current room or choosing a different room before prospective residents. Because students are now bound to the contract quicker, it provides flexi-
bility for students searching for housing, Sealine said. With a longer opt-out period, some students were holding onto desirable spaces then eventually canceling their contracts and living elsewhere. “We have found that we are actually trending ahead of where we were last year related to the housing sign up process,” she said. “So we believe that

students are going to have more satisfaction in their housing choices because they had more fl exibility from the moment that they chose to stay with University Housing.” Approximately 70 percent of undergraduate students in residence halls are freshmen, and 30 percent are returning students. Khan said that she personally prefers living in residence halls because of the more close-knit community it provides. “You get to know a lot of different people, unlike in apartments where you only really see your roommates,” she said. “Residence halls are also safer and dining is more convenient, since the meals are already prepared for you.” Khan said she believes that if you live in University Housing longer, you are more likely to graduate in four years.

out having to temporarily or permanently stop anything in order to save money, but that “lurching along like this is not optimal.” The University is confident the state legislature will pass a budget before the spring session ends. The new session started last week, and Creasey said lawmakers are energized. “It seems that there is a will on both sides of the aisle,” she said. “I think people have realized that we’ve gone too far, too long and something has to be done.” Creasey’s team will be there ready to plead its case to lawmakers, but the University has taken steps to create more stable funding.

Rehberg encouraged students to contact the Undergraduate Research Office to stay updated and to learn about available research opportunities. Facebook’s decision to partner with 16 universities may be more of a strategic move than purely an innovative one. With the rise of oth-
er social media outlets such as Instagram and Snapchat, Facebook’s new streamline innovation will make the site more accessible and bring attention to its efforts. “I feel like this is going to help keep Facebook, as a social media, alive. This is going to help Facebook improve as a company and to help keep the company relevant and desired,” Tyiran said.
Ed Feser, interim vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost, who announced his departure for Oregon State next month, initiated a budget reform process. Its goal, he said, is to find ways to establish more independence from the state legislature. P resident T i mothy Killeen announced the University of Illinois System Investment, Performance and Accountability Commitment, known as IPAC, in November. The U of I Caucus has championed the bill in the state legislature. If passed, the five-year bill would establish metrics for the University to meet in order to secure $662.1 million in funding from the state in fiscal year 2018 and at least that amount plus inflation in following years. Its sponsors fi led the bill
in November, and they will refi le it again now that the new session has started. Creasey has worked with the U of I Caucus members to rally support among their peers, and she’s organizing events for students, faculty and alumni to advocate for the bill. “We’re trying to rise above the partisan chatter of the current political climate and show that we need a plan in place that would give us predictable, reliable, multi-year funding and in exchange hold us adherent to the state and the people of Illinois,” she said. Whether the strategy can succeed will be seen this spring. The University has until May 31, when Congress adjourns, to present its case.

EDITORIAL MLK Day reminds us there’s more work to be done
U
nited States President Barack Obama’s slogan during his 2012 presidential campaign was “Forward,” but it hardly feels like we’ve moved forward especially during the last week of his presidency. The recent election of President-elect Donald Trump has shown that the country is more divided since electing its first black president. Tempers continue to boil over social media and the future leader of the country is even calling out civil rights heroes on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We’re living in a Twilight Zone of the social environment many thought would be reached during the past eight years. But those desirable changes aren’t easy to attain, as Obama told Lester Holt in an interview with NBC before he gave his farewell speech in Chicago. The President said it was naive to think that radical racial attitudes would change in less than a decade after centuries of fighting for civil rights. This moment of uncertainty is an opportunity for people to take the issue into their own hands — because clearly many didn’t do so in the recent election. Americans can draw upon the way Obama started his political career in Chicago: organizing. It’s what Obama said in his farewell address: If you want change, then grab a clipboard and start to create the change you want to see in the world. Although, it might seem like we’re harping on the ideas presented by the President in his speech arguing with someone over the internet isn’t going to accomplish anything. Dialogue is one of the liberties granted to us when our forefathers fought for freedom; it was a right to speech, not a right to be ignorant and hide behind a screen. Change isn’t something that can only be accomplished in Washington or on Election Day. For many people, college is the perfect place for change to take place and for the voiceless to be heard. This campus has seen political tension in the past, with both the Main Quad chalkings and inappropriate parties held by different groups of people. We view this semester as a time for change; a time when millennials can start to make a difference — even though we are aware that there will be comments to this editorial claiming that we know nothing because of the era in which we grew up. We are the generation that has spurred great social shifts, ones that generations before us could never make. And in a time where social media plays such a crucial part in daily life, we should use these mediums of communication to support good, rather than revert to past mistakes. We might not have gone as far as we thought we would eight years ago on that night when Obama spoke to thousands in Chicago’s Grant Park, promoting his popular slogan of “Yes We Can.” And although some might think “Yes We Did,” we feel there’s more work to be done than ever. If we truly want to move “Forward,” or even “Make America Great Again,” it begins with us, or we will fall back into a false sense of hope rather than actual change.

Keep posting about charity on social media JAMIE LINTON Columnist
R
ecently, the stories that provoke my interest are more and more frequently coming from Snapchat’s “news stories” rather than the once popular Vanity Fair article, New York Times editorial or even the headline of People magazine. The clickbait headlines prove more enticing than mindlessly tapping through yet another “selfie Sunday” or video of a high school acquaintance’s winter break reunion with her corgi. At this point we’ve all grown tired about hearing how much of an impact social media has had on our society — especially when in the form of a belated monstrous revelation from our parents’ generation. But a couple
weeks ago a BuzzFeed Snapchat story made an interesting point concerning the debate on whether or not people should post on social media about their charitable acts. I volunteered Christmas Day at my uncle’s church serving turkey dinners to those who didn’t have the resources to feed themselves or enjoy a meal with family that holiday. I was hesitant to publicize what I spent my afternoon doing on any social media platform, because I previously believed that doing so would invalidate the work and make others think that you simply wanted praise for being charitable. I ultimately didn’t tell anyone what I was doing, although this decision moreso stemmed from the fact that I was incidentally teamed up to wash dishes with another volunteer who was vocally racist and rude. At that point, I wanted to just get the day over
with rather than advertise to my friends about the great time I had filling in for Mother Theresa. Meanwhile, in the other room, my dad was snapping pictures left and right of my mom and uncle in their aprons, eating the apple pie they had just served to the diners and promptly posting them on Facebook. I was uncomfortable with this at first due to my preconceived notions about advertising charitable works; However, I then remembered an article I read about the benefits of showing off your volunteering on social media platforms. Essentially, the article found that when you post pictures of youself volunteering at a food depository or reading to children, your followers and friends are more likely to follow suit. It’s unclear as to whether the reactions of your friends and followers stem
from the guilt of their own moral conscience, or simply because they want to post their own volunteering photos. But any action to improve the lives of others, especially those who are down on their luck, will positively benefit our community no matter the driving force behind it. This could be particularly helpful as students come back to campus looking for extracurricular opportunities such as volunteer work to fill their schedules. So next time you judge someone for posting a 156-picture album of them stacking cans into cardboard boxes at the food depository, know that no matter how vain their motivation was, it could create a charitable domino effect.

THE NEWS YOU MISSED OVER BREAK CONFLICTING REPORTS ON TRUMP
FROM THREE RINGS TO ZERO
America seized on a golden opportunity to make fun of President-elect Donald Trump when BuzzFeed published unverified reports of sexual deviance while Trump stayed in Russia some years ago. Trump dismissed the report as “fake news,” and in his defense, there doesn’t seem to be much corroboration to the story. Unfortunately, lumped into this news cycle though were more real concerns of conflicts of interest for Trump through his business, which he’s reportedly handing down to his children once he takes office. The multi-millionaire and incoming president can undoubtedly still have his decisions swayed by foreign interests if they’re showering his children with benefits, and Trump’s lack of complete divestment from his company should be the real story here.
Sad news for circus lovers in the past couple of weeks. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus recently announced that it is closing for good due to plummeting ticket sales in the past couple of years. If that wasn’t bad enough, Big Apple Circus announced that it is officially bankrupt. It’s sad that the circus companies in this country are struggling to make ends meet. The entertainment tastes have changed due to technological advances, and people are clearly no longer as enthralled in circus acts as they once were. But circuses are still fun and give talented people an outlet to express those talents and creativity and it’s unfortunate to see these companies go.
ALL IT’S CRACKED UP TO BE
STOCK UP ON QUALITY SHOWS
As one campus mainstay moves on from Green Street, a new restaurant will take its crack at the big stage. The owner of the Cracked food truck announced at the beginning of winter break that his company would move into the empty shell of the departing Antonio’s Pizza restaurant. With all due respect for the work Antonio’s did feeding hungry college students for years, forgive us for thinking this isn’t all bad. Cracked’s bold poaching of the 619 E. Green St. location will prove wise as students become more acquainted with the Morning Bender, and Champaign won’t lack for late-night pizza options with Slice Factory opening soon. I understand the wounds of Antonio’s departure are still fresh, so ‘omelette’ the food speak for itself: Cracked is a clear upgrade.
Lucky for those who have invested in Netflix, the stocks have reached an all-time high — up 3.5 percent again yesterday to nearly $134 per share. Though we’re only amateur economic analysts, we think the bump is because of Netflix’s recent exclusive and high quality original content, such as the recent Gilmore Girls reboot, and its promising new features such as the ability to download shows and watch on the go. While some have their legitimate qualms with Netflix, this news should be particularly interesting for college students looking to cut the cord. Netfl ix is still cheaper than the notoriously high prices of cable companies, and it seems unlikely to leave anytime soon. High stocks are always something to celebrate, so apparently Netflix is good for something besides late-night binge watching sessions.
GOLIATHS FELL IN SPORTS
SHEER BLISS FOR ED SHEERAN
It was a winter of some discontent for the traditional powers of the sports world. In college football, the previously unflappable Alabama Crimson Tide were dethroned by Coach Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers. In the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving hit another gamewinning shot over the outstretched arms of a Golden State Warrior. Though this Christmas’ iteration was slightly less important than the last, in game seven of the 2016 NBA Finals, that didn’t stop fans from pushing out a few more three-to-one comeback jokes. Last, and perhaps most surprising, two recently downtrodden hockey teams from the Midwest turned the NHL standings upside down. The Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild each won more than 12 games in a row over the last month on their ways to the No. 2 and No. 3 spots in the league standings as of this writing.
Looks like this is the week for records to be shattered, because Spotify records were also broken this past week as Ed Sheeran’s new song “Shape of You” became the top song for over a week on the music streaming platform. It also broke the record for most streams in one week, beating out the previous record holder Adele, for her song “Hello” in 2015. This is good news for the singer, as he has been off the scene since he took a hiatus from making music in the spotlight. It looks as though he is back and better than ever, and fans are eagerly anticipating his new album in March.

U.S. Funds Palestinian Terrorism
Tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are spent annually to pay salaries to Palestinian terrorists who murder innocent civilians in Israel. To prop up the virtually bankrupt Palestinian Authority (P.A.), the U.S. sends Palestinians more than $400 million a year in aid. The P.A., however, spends some $140 million annually to reward jihadists and their families for murderous acts that kill innocent Americans and Israelis.
What are the facts?
In June 2016, 13-year-old Hallal Yaffa Ariel was stabbed In the face of mounting criticism of such hypocrisy to death in her bed by a Palestinian terrorist who broke into from Western nations, however, the P.A. concocted her family’s home.

Wildfire app speeds up emergency awareness BY ANNABETH CARLSON MANAGING EDITOR FOR ONLINE
On a warm Saturday night in September, Renee Pond went to The Red Lion, expecting to have a fun night out with friends. Instead, she found herself in a confusing emergency situation when gunshots were heard and patrons were told to stay inside. “I was really confused. We didn’t know what was going on immediately,” Pond said. “We heard there was a shooting threat, only because we were fairly close and people were able to hear gunshots.” During the chaos, Pond checked Reddit, social media, news sites and Illini-Alert, hoping for more updates or safety information. This need for faster and more complete information in emergencies sparked the idea for the app Wildfire, which launches on campus Tuesday. Built by three UC Berkeley students, Wildfire is a new kind of alert system, where students on college campuses can post tips about potential crimes and emergencies in the vicinity. The students got the idea when Hriday Kemburu, co-founder and CEO of the app, was walking home near a campus library and was almost mugged. Kemburu posted on Facebook about the incident, which resulted in hundreds of people thanking him for the tip. “We realized that Facebook isn’t
the best place for this information. We needed something faster so that’s why we decided to build Wildfire,” said Jay Patel, co-founder and developer. “We’re college students who built this for other college students.” Patel said the app is much faster than other sources. “Anyone can submit a tip to the entire community and that’s what allows us to be a lot faster ... You are on the ground and can spread that information to the people around you faster,” he said. The app is growing and is already in use at UC Berkeley, MIT and Harvard. Vinay Ramesh, co-founder and business lead, said they have heard many stories where the app has been helpful. For instance, Ramesh said a friend discovered her house was on fire through the app. “We put this in the perspective that we were able to alert her, among a lot of other people, that this was happening and she could have found out much much later, but she found out about it earlier,” he said. Before Wildfire, students have looked to other sources for information. According to a Daily Illini Twitter poll, 75 percent of respondents said they find out about crimes or other campus emergencies through Illini-Alert, the University’s current emergency alert system. Nineteen percent said they found out through social media and six percent cred-

ited local news. Pond said on the night of the September shooting, she does not remember getting an Illini-Alert right away, and that the messages were not too informative. However, she recognized there can be a delay or lack of information because of the need for verification. Lt. Todd Short from the University of Illinois Police Department emphasized the importance of confirming information before sending it to the public. “We’ve got to have things verified before we push the button. Just because we receive calls about X, Y or Z does not mean that that information is verified and credible at that point,” Short said. “Once the message is verified, is thorough, is correct, then we push the button.” Short acknowledged that there can be delays between alerts, but this does not mean people aren’t working hard to get the information behind the scenes. “Everything is situational dependent and depends on the totality of the circumstances that we’re dealing with at the time of the incident,” he said. “We want to be able to provide that information as quickly as we can but at the end of the day, we will only push that message out … once it’s been verified.” Ramesh said Wildfire does verify and moderate information, similar to Illini-Alert. He explained that
people do not need to be logged in to view content. If someone wants to post content, however, they must log in with their email, phone number or Facebook account to make sure there is authenticity behind the post. Patel added that they rely on the community to moderate as well. Users can flag posts as incorrect or agree that the incident occurred. As for alerts, Ramesh said they try their best to find multiple sources to verify information before sending anything out. “For instance, if we hear about a robbery and there’s not a lot of confirmation, we keep it on the feed so students can look on the feed and be engaged through the feed to find out more information about that post, without us having to ... verify whether it happened or not,” he said. Wildfire is available to download for free for iPhone and Android devices. Patel said they have something to offer that other systems do not have. “Traditional alert systems are often limited in the information they can contain,” he said. “Whereas on Wildfire you get the full post and pictures and there’s kind of a community around it.

Honoring MLK Martin Luther King Jr. remembered in University events BY MARA SHAPIRO
W STAFF WRITER
ith students still making their way back to campus to begin the spring semester, campus was relatively quiet on Monday. However, there is a very important reason why classes did not begin on Monday. Martin Luther King Jr. Day recognizes the work of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement. The University recognized the revered civil rights leader through various celebrations and activities. The Union hosted its annual MLK Day of Service on Monday. During the event, students participated individually or as a team working on various service projects for local organizations such as the Channing Murray Foundation, the Books to Prisoners Foundation, Carle Foundation Hospital, the Canteen Run and Ronald McDonald House. Jasmine McDowell, senior in LAS and project leader for the event, said the event was important for students to participate in because it helps integrate students into the community. “It’s an opportunity for students to get involved in what service means, to learn about who MLK was and the significance he had on this country and the world,” McDowell said. “Students have the opportunity to create service projects that will benefit the people in this community and potentially around the world.” McDowell said participants sent letters to veterans and soldiers among other activities. This year’s event differs from last year’s because McDowell said they are adding an educational component where students will “learn about the significance of serving.” The educational piece discussed service humility and making change. “It’s on a unique time when there aren’t classes or stressing about exams. It’s a great time to get those volunteer hours in,” McDowell said. In addition to the Day of Service, the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts held a MLK focused Krannert Uncorked event on Monday. Prince Robertson, academic support
specialist at the Office of Minority Student Affairs, wrote in an email what guests experienced at the event and what he hoped participants took away from the event. Robertson said Infinite Soul, a musical band from the C-U community, performed at Krannert Uncorked along with speeches from two to three students from the Brown Theatre Collective. The student organization performed spoken word based on the theme “Pursuing the Dream in Challenging Times.” “We want the audience to receive a message through the art of music and spoken word,that the legacy left by Dr. King is still alive and people are still learning daily on how to apply it,” Robertson wrote. Robertson saw this month’s Krannert Uncorked as a means to unite the C-U community in commemorating an important historical figure. He wrote that it has been a tradition of the University to have these events surrounding the arts. Robertson also wrote that he feels Krannert was the best setting for the event. “Krannert is a very supportive and inclusive space open to not only the University community, but the community of Urbana-Champaign as well,” Robertson wrote. “Part of the committee’s vision for this event is to utilize music and spoken word to bring as many surrounding communities, students, faculty and overall people of different backgrounds together to embrace difference as they receive messages through the arts of what Dr. King has left for us all.”

Illini have gone 4-3, starting the conference season 2-3. It’s nothing too special and it’s only a one-win improvement from last season’s winter break.

AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Tracy Abrams hits the floor in anger after picking up his third foul during the game against Maryland at State Farm Center on Jan. 14. The Illini lost 62-56. Columnist Matt Gertsmeier believes Illinois’ loss-win pattern is promising for the team’s next matchup.
Brigham Young University in Chicago and Missouri in St. Louis — two games the Illini should be expected to win. Then, the Illini started its most recent streak — a losswin pattern. It began with the Illinois’ second-worst shooting performance of the season on Dec. 27 which led to being obliterated by 25 points against Maryland. The Illini turned the ball over 17 times against the Terps. This game was followed up with an eight-turnover win over Ohio State, which continued the loss-win pattern. While it isn’t the greatest of streaks to be on, things appear to be on the upswing for John Groce and the Illini. Illinois played arguably its best game of the season against Michigan, shooting a season-high 64 percent from the field. A few major lineup changes prompted Illinois’ 16-point victory over the Wolverines. Maverick Morgan started over Mike Thorne Jr. at center and put up 16 points on an 8-9 shooting performance. Freshmen Kipper Nichols and Te’Jon Lucas both played big minutes and had impactful contributions. Nichols dropped 13 points and Lucas had eight assists.

Illini reversing road woes BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL

The Illinois men’s basketball team will face one of its toughest tests of the season on Tuesday when it travels to West Lafayette, Indiana, to take on Purdue. After a back-and-forth winter break, the Illini will look to get on track against a top-25 team. No. 21 Purdue (14-4, 3-2) is coming off a loss to Iowa. The Illini are also coming off a defeat, losing to No. 25 Maryland in front of a packed crowd at the State Farm Center on Saturday. Illinois (12-6, 2-3) controlled the first half, despite many turnovers from both teams. The Illini and the Terrapins finished with 12 turnovers apiece. The Illini looked like a different version of themselves during the first half compared to the last time the two teams faced off. However, the team took similar form to its old self in the second half. Maryland closed out the first half with four straight points after two free throws and a steal that led to a layup from Melo Trimble, cutting the Illinois lead to five at the half. The Terrapins found their rhythm in the second half, making three of four three-point field goal attempts to cut the lead to 43-42 with 12:27 left. Maryland took the lead soon after and never gave it back. Midway through the second

After her performance in the Illinois women’s gymnastics home opening meet, the Big Ten named Lizzy LeDuc Big Ten Gymnast of the Week. The sophomore competed in the all-around, floor, vault and beam against Rutgers, Eastern Michigan and UIC at Huff Hall. LeDuc posted a 9.850 on the vault and a 9.750 on the bars. She continued with scores of 9.925 on beam and 9.900 on floor, resulting in her winning all four events. Her final total was 39.425 — her career-best all-around score. This is LeDuc’s second time achieving the weekly honor, earning it last year on the final week the award could be given. LeDuc succeeded on the beam
last year and continued into this season. In her first meet of the 2017 season, Leduc scored a 9.875 in the event, helping the Illini to a second-place finish against Missouri and Ball State. LeDuc can add this year’s award to the many achievements she has ga r nered throughout her college career. During her freshman season, LeDuc became the first freshman since Allison Buckley in 2008 to qualify individually for the NCAA Championships. The Dallas native earned the third-highest floor score in school history in last year’s Salt Lake City Regional. She has accumulated three individual titles over her college career — one on floor and two on beam. The Illini ended the meet in first place with a score of 195.900. Eastern Illinois, Rutgers and UIC finished second, third and fourth, respectively. LeDuc will next compete on the road on Jan. 22 against Michigan.

Illinois was the first team to sweep Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, since last January. “It’s pretty tough to come into any CSCHL team’s rink and sweep them,” Cruickshank said. “You don’t see that happen very often.” Illinois is on a three-game winning streak and returns home this weekend to face off against Lindenwood.

BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER
Illinois hockey goalie David Heflin tallied his second shutout of the season Saturday night against Iowa State. Junior center Eric Cruickshank was only able to describe Heflin’s performance with one word: swagger. “He’s sucking up pucks when they’re coming in,” Cruickshank said. “He’s playing with some swag in his game. He has swagger.” Swagger might be an understatement after Heflin’s weekend performance. Heflin led No. 17 Illinois (15-6-3) to a weekend sweep over No. 8 Iowa State (159-1). Heflin stopped 92 of 93 shots in the sweep, including the 41-save shutout “(Heflin’s) been playing so confidently lately,” Cruickshank said. “He’s making it look easy. It doesn’t look like he’s struggling to make these saves.” It wasn’t just Heflin leading the Illini to a pair of wins and six CSCHL points in the standings. Illinois’ special teams units were clicking during Friday’s 4-1 victory. The Illini tallied two power play goals and a short-handed goal in the win. Iowa State head coach Jason Fairman praised the Illini’s special teams play. “They were very opportunistic and always have been,” Fairman said. Sophomore defenseman Tyler Opilka and junior forward Grant Stueve got the scoring going with first period goals. Cyclone forward

Illinois’ Eric Cruickshank carries the puck up the ice during the game against Lindenwood University at the Ice Arena on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2016. The Illini lost 4-1. After its three-game winning streak, Illinois is slated to face Lindenwood once more this weekend.
Alex Grupe found the back of the net early in the second period for his first goal of the season. Cruickshank picked up his second penalty of the game two minutes after Grupe’s goal. Illinois freshman forward Chance Homer-

Newcomer Holešínská makes strides for Illini in Big Ten play BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER
AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI
Petra Holešínská dribbles around her defender during a game against Wake Forest at State Farm Center on Nov. 30, 2016. Holešínská and other new players hope to improve the team’s record.
Following the transfer of Chatrice White after the 2015-16 season, Illinois women’s basketball was not expected to make much, if any, noise this season. Head coach Matt Bollant’s squad played to that narrative with a 5-8 nonconference record. But through five Big Ten games, the young team seems to have found itself, winning three of its fi rst five games. The Illini (8-10, 3-2 Big Ten) have won six consecutive home games and have already surpassed last season’s conference win total of two wins, both of which were against Wisconsin. “We are headed in the right direction and that is what we are holding on to,” Bollant said after Sunday’s 79-59 win over Nebraska. “Yes, we are really young,
but we are getting better. (Our freshmen) are hungry to get better. That is awesome and going to lead to some good things.” Seven of the team’s 12 players are freshmen. Guard Ashley McConnell is the lone senior. Freshman guard Petra Holešínská has arguably made the biggest strides on the team. The Czech Republic native has experience in international play and is known as a sharpshooter. Holešínská struggled throughout the nonconference schedule in finding her shots, but the 5-9 guard has found her stroke in Big Ten play. Holešínská is averaging 14 points in five Big Ten games, which includes a goose egg on the scoreboard in Illinois’ road loss at Iowa. Holešínská is not the only newcomer making an impact for Bollant’s team. Freshman Brandi Bea-
sley was a highly touted guard from Memphis and she has opened up Illinois’ offense with an ability to drive to the basket and pass the ball. She tallied a whopping nine assists in Illinois’ 78-41 romp against Rutgers on Jan. 7. Sophomore forward Alex Wittinger has been the Illini’s best player even with so much production coming from freshmen. Wittinger has scored in double digits 10 consecutive games and 16 times this season. Six of the Illini’s 11 remaining regular season games are away from the State Farm Center. Illinois is 0-6 on the road this season. The premier matchup on the schedule is a visit to No. 3 Maryland on Jan. 26. Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, the nation’s top three-point shooter, leads the Terrapins.

Illinois wins four individual titles, one relay team title to secure Illini Classic BY THOMAS POLCYN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Propelled by five individual titles, the Illinois men’s track and fi eld team won the annual Illini Classic. Event titles were won by David Kendziera (60m hurdles), Devin Quinn (60m), Josh Eiker (200m), Jonathan Wells (high jump) and a win by the 4x400m relay team. Head coach Michael Turk was very happy with his team’s performance, saying in a release that its preparation was a huge key to success. “I’m extremely happy with the way the guys competed,” Turk said in the release. “Their preparation and focus were on point and the performances reflected that. This team is coming together and collectively, this was a step forward.” Highlights of the event include Wells attempting
to break the school high jump record of 7 feet and 3 inches just after winning the event. However, he fell just short and was not able to break the record.
“I’m extremely happy with the way the guys competed. Their preparation and focus were on point and the performances reflected that.” MICHAEL TURK MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD HEAD COACH
Kendziera also stood out as he won his second race in the past two weeks. His low time on the weekend was a 7.82, but in the fi nals he went back up to 8.17 —
good enough for second place. Also notable was junior Michael Hyc setting a personal record in both the weight throw and shot put for the second straight week. In the weight throw he scored 64’5.25,” good for second place. Fellow thrower Matsen Dziedzic also set a personal record with 63’11.” Turk was pleased with their continued improvement, and said that he likes where the two can improve going forward. “Mike and Matsen were great in the weight throw,” Turk said in the release. “They are starting to figure some things out, and I believe there is much more for them to accomplish. Mike’s performance in the shot put was extraordinary.”

Groce’s strategy stayed relatively the same in the Illini’s rematch against Maryland. While Illinois lost the game, it was a vast improvement from the two team’s first meeting as Maryland won this time only by six. Now, the Illini travel to West Lafayette, Indiana, on Tuesday to face No. 21 Purdue. Playing Morgan more and Thorne Jr. less has appeared to work. But against Purdue, I’m afraid that strategy is going to have to change. Illinois is going to need all the size it can get against the Boilermakers. Illinois’ frontcourt is going to have its work cut out for it managing Big Ten Player of the Year contender and double-double machine Caleb Swanigan. And it’s hard to forget about Isaac Haas as he stands 7-foot-2, 290 pounds and can cause problems for opponents. Despite not being the player he was a season ago, Thorne Jr. is going to have to play and do the best he can to bang with those bodies down low.
Anything that will help soften the blow that is the anticipated Boilermaker beat down. I would like to see Groce stick to his newly developed plan and keep playing Nichols and Lucas. Don’t back down just because you are facing one of the Big Ten’s best teams. Listen to your gut and implement this new rotation. The Illini are also going to have to rely on the energy and skill of Leron Black. Illinois has received strong performances from Black in recent games. He recorded 14 points and nine rebounds in his last game. His tenacity is going to be crucial on the road as the Illini are still seeking their first road victory. Ultimately, what needs to happen is Illinois needs to continue this loss-win pattern for one more game, because that will result in a win against the Boilermakers. After that, they can start a new streak and lock another win against Michigan. Easier said than done.

Besides setting personal records, the pair also did well enough to win their individual events. Illinois also won the 4x400
relays and Kay Hylton took first as well. Head coach Ron Garner was happy with their performances and thinks that they will be some of the toughest people to beat all season. "Both (Bloch-Jones and Seymour) will be two of the people that will be a major factor at the end of the season at the national level,” Garner said in a release. “As a whole, we competed very hard and had highlights within the work that we've been doing. The work we've accomplished over break is starting to, and will continue to, pay off as we move
forward during the next few weeks." Garner also said that he thinks a big reason for BlochJones’ success was her ability to adjust this week. "We've had meets in the past, like at NCAA Indoor Championships, where if she could have made the adjustment she would have been a First Team All-American," Garner said in the same release. "That's what she did today; she made the adjustment. Seeing that today shows huge growth." Along with Bloch-Jones, Seymour also made her mark in the Illinois record
books. In the preliminary round she posted a time of 8.13 seconds in the 60m — good for a personal record and the fifth fastest time in Illinois history. Garner said that he is happy with where Seymour is at, and that if anything he thinks she is ahead of schedule. "A year ago, it was the Meyo Invite before we showed this ability in the hurdles, and this year it's showing in mid-January," Garner said. "They're working hard for Coach Gillon and it's paying off."

Following the run, the Illini trailed 13-4, but it was not long before they responded with a run of their own. Langenderfer, Martinez and Brunson combined for a 14-0 run by collecting victories and bonus points in each of their respective matches. Heffernan seemed very happy with Langenderfer’s

Next, Martinez put the Illini in the lead after a convincing 22-7 win over Ohio State’s Cody Burcher. Then, Brunson extended the lead even further — all the way to 18-13 — with his 19-8 victory over Justin Kresevic. Despite regaining the lead, this was the last time the Illini were ahead in the match, as the Illini would
soon get back on top. Losses in the final three matches led to Illinois’ demise, which included a loss by No. 13 Emery Parker. With the loss, Illinois has fallen to 37-34-1 all time against the Buckeyes, while losing each of its last four matchups. This also marked Piotrowski’s second ranked
win on the season and Brunson’s 20th win of the season — just nine short of his season high which he set in 2014-15. Following the loss, Illinois will host No. 13 Michigan on Jan. 20 followed by Northern Illinois on the 22nd.

SWIM AND DIVE
Poor performances during winter break a hiccup for strong Illini season BY MIKE GASICK ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The Illinois women’s swim and dive team won one of the three meets it competed in during winter break. The Illini began their competition with a home meet against Arkansas. Senior Amelia Schilling won the 200 free in the first event of the meet. Three other Illini swimmers would win individual races, including junior Gabrielle Bethke in the 50 free, senior Audrey Rodawig in the 100 free and freshman Monica Guyett in the 500 free. The 400 free relay team composed of senior Gabbie Stecker, Rodawig, Schilling and Bethke placed first, inching the Illini closer to a victory. The relay finished with a time of three minutes and 29 seconds. The Razorbacks outlasted the Illini in the end, defeating them 179-118. The Illini next competed against Notre Dame and Iowa in South Bend, Indiana. The sole Illinois firstplace individual finish came
from Schilling in the 500 free with Guyett following close behind in second place. Guyett turned in another second-place finish in the 1000 free with Schilling completing the race soon thereafter in third. Junior Samantha Stratford claimed second place in the 200 IM with a time of 2:04. The 400 free relay team placed third by closing the race in just under three and a half minutes. Notre Dame and Iowa were too much for Illinois in the end. The Fighting Irish had the first, fifth and sixth-place finishers in the 200 yard medley relay, while the Hawkeyes occupied the second, third and fourth place spots. The Illini completed the meet with 87 points, while Iowa and Notre Dame finished with 112 and 110, respectively. The Illini wrapped up their winter break competition at home against Iowa State. Illinois came in first place in 13 of the 16 events. Stratford claimed three individual first-place
honors. Joining Stratford in the multiple first-place finishes category was Stecker and Rodawig who both won two events each. Illinois’ relay teams also turned in first place achievements. The 200 medley relay team came in first with a time of 1:46. The 400 medley top relay team came out on top in 3:30. Illinois also possessed the second, third and fourth place slots in the relay. The relay team of sophomore Megan Vuong, Guyett and freshmen Kristin Anderson and Kathryn Kosinski placed second. The Illini ended the dual meet with a 186-114 victory over the Cyclones, improving their record to 7-4 on the season. Illinois’ next competition will be Senior Day with a home dual meet against Nebraska on Jan. 21. Following the Nebraska meet, the Illini will compete in the Big Ten Championships in mid-February.

Emma Handzo Global MBA Student
BE A FORCE Emma Handzo trained to be an astrophysicist. But she found her greatest challenges weren’t amongst the stars; they were right in front of her—a battle with cancer, a struggle with hearing loss. Rather than turn away, she embraced them.
Emma realized her greatest potential was in helping others overcome the impossible. She didn’t enroll in the Carey Business School to learn how to lead. She did it to make an impact. And through her coursework, she’s discovered how the physics of a life with impact can be found in a familiar equation: force equals mass times acceleration. The mass of the unsinkable human spirit. The power of ideas to accelerate the journey from problem to solution. Together, they make Emma unstoppable—a force for good.
