Orange and blue is everywhere on the University’s campus. Illinois students own at least some type of clothing that shows the school’s colors, whether it be t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, shorts or hats. But neatly tucked away on a sleeve or on a tag there is also something on nearly all of these pieces of apparel: the Nike Inc. swoosh. The swoosh isn’t quite as noticeable as the bright colors of the gear, but it’s everywhere. Not just on clothing: It can be seen on team posters, in stores and even on stadium scoreboards. In October 2005, the University and Nike reached a contract agreement to make the corporation the official sponsor of all Illini apparel. As part of the contract, the University agreed that all apparel sold by the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics would be Nike apparel. In exchange, the University receives $325,000 in compensation that is divided into two equal semi-annual installments, one in January and one in July. The Universi-
ty also received a $500,000 commitment bonus that was paid within 30 days of the execution of the agreement. The contract also entails program-specifi c performance-based incentives. If the football program made a Bowl Championship Series appearance — since replaced by the College Football Playoff system — the University would receive $25,000. If the men’s basketball team made a Final Four appearance, the University would receive $25,000, while if the women’s basketball team made a Final Four appearance, the University would receive $10,000. Outside of the compensation the University receives for using only Nike apparel and displaying the swoosh logo around athletic events, the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics also receives free apparel to give to Illini student-athletes. In the fi rst fi ve years of the contract, 2006 to 2011, the department was allowed to order $1.1 million worth of “mutually determined sport-appropriate NIKE Product for use by (or in connection with) the Covered Programs, by coaches, staff and members of the Athletic Department through the ‘Nike By Mail’ program.� University Chancellor Phyllis Wise has been on the Nike board of directors since 2009. Other members of the board include Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, and John Donahoe II, the CEO of eBay Inc. The apparel value limit was increased to $1.2 million from 2011 to 2016 due to the terms of the original agreement.

Joe Biden to visit campus BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
In anticipation of Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to the University on Thursday, the Illinois Student Senate will host a pledge drive Monday through Wednesday to encourage students to join the “It’s On Us� campaign. During his visit, Biden will speak to students and deliver remarks about preventing sexual assault and specifically, the “It’s On Us� campaign. The initiative aims to make
college campuses more able to prevent sexual assault. Students can sign up on Monday and Wednesday on the Main Quad or Tuesday near the Alma Mater to attend Biden’s speech and to sign the “It’s On Us� pledge. Matt Hill, ISS vice president-external, said Biden’s appearance will celebrate University students’ national leadership in the campaign. “It’s sort of an ‘It’s On Us’ rally to celebrate what we’ve been doing here at
New shot to help combat addiction BY DAVID STAGE STAFF WRITER
In Illinois, heroin was the second most common drug and the most common illegal substance that individuals sought out treatment for in 2008 and 2009, according to the Illinois Consortium on Drug Policy. But while the use of heroin has expanded to Central Illinois, organizations in Champaign County are working toward assisting heroin users with a new treatment
program. The Champaign County Drug Court, a specialty court that deals with drug abuse cases, is partnering with Carle Foundation Hospital, the Prairie Center and a number of other entities to combat heroin abuse with a new heroin pilot program that will launch in April, said Jeffrey Ford, Champaign County Judge. The program will last 16 to

Illinois,� Hill said. “To celebrate success and keep building momentum around the cause.� Hill said the event is intended to empower students. The University is among the top participants in the campaign, which was launched by the White House in 2014. According to the campaign’s official site, the pledge is “a personal commitment to help keep women and men safe from sexual assault.�
The pledge serves as “a promise not to be a bystander to the problem, but to be a part of the solution.� Biden’s appearance will take place Thursday from noon to 2 p.m., but the location has yet to be determined. Tickets are free but limited. Students interested in attending the rally can sign up to attend through the Illinois Student Senate’s Facebook page.

Men charged in heroin deal near campus DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
University of Illinois Police Department spokesman Patrick Wade said heroin use is a growing concern on college campuses and the University is trying to control it preemptively. University police made two arrests after witnessing a heroin deal transpire just off campus Wednesday night. The two men, one a 23-year-old Champaign native and a 30-year-old from Romeoville, were arrested for possession and delivery of a controlled substance, according to a press release. Police received information that one of the suspects was planning to sell heroin that night near the inter-
section of Green and Neil streets. Police watched the drug deal transpire and approximated the amount sold to be valued at $70. Police stopped the vehicle with both suspects inside a short distance away from the scene after the deal occurred. Wade said the two were arrested around 11:45 p.m. Wednesday. “Our investigators have not worked a whole lot of cases involving heroin on campus, but we are aware of the issue, and we understand that more and more students are starting to use heroin,� Wade said. “We have found discarded needles on campus bathrooms. We know that there are students that are seek-

ing assistance for drug addiction ‌ we’re putting a focus on this early and trying to head it off before it becomes an issue on our campus.� The suspects admitted to having more controlled substances concealed at the time, and a search yielded 13 rocks of cocaine and $370 between the two suspects. Wade said no one involved in the incident was affi liated with the University but to note that it did transpire in an area with a high student population. Wade said both suspects were arraigned yesterday afternoon and he believes they were released on bond. news@dailyillini.com

White House fence jumper who kicked guard dog pleads guilty WASHINGTON — The Maryland man who scaled the White House fence in October and was caught on camera kicking one of the Secret Service’s big Belgian Malinois dogs pleaded guilty Friday to a federal charge stemming from the intrusion.
Dominic Adesanya, 23, formerly of Bel Air, Maryland, has been in custody since his Oct. 22 arrest on the White House grounds, a high-profile security scare that took place four weeks after another man made it into the executive mansion, allegedly armed with a knife.
Disneyland measles outbreak declared over after 156 fall ill LOS ANGELES — The measles outbreak that began at Disneyland over the winter holidays is over, California health officials said Friday. A total of 131 people were infected with the measles in California as well as at least 25 others who resided in seven other states, Canada and Mexico. There have been no new measles cases related to the outbreak that began at Disneyland in 42 days. It can take 21 days for a person infected with mea-
sles to show signs of illness. An outbreak can be declared over if no new illnesses are reported for 42 days. “We are pleased this outbreak is over, but caution that measles can be reintroduced in California at any time when an infected person brings it to the state,” said Dr. Karen Smith, director of the California Department of Public Health. “The best defense for protection against the highly infectious measles is vaccination.”
Poll shows Americans see green light for marijuana legalization America has seen the future, and it is high. Fifty-eight percent of U.S. adults say recreational marijuana will be legal nationwide in the next 20 years, according to a new Bloomberg Politics poll.

Nike receives eight season tickets for the men’s basketball season, 12 for the Big Ten tournament and either the NCAA tournament or the NIT. Four season tickets are set aside for the women’s basketball program and 12 for a postseason tournament. There are also four additional season tickets made available to Nike to ticketed programs, like Illini volleyball. During each contract year, the corporation also receives 50 tickets (42 in addition to the eight season tickets) to one agreed upon football game. Nike also receives 25 tickets — 17 in addition to the season tickets — to one mutually agreed upon men’s basketball game. Nike receives four “VIP” parking passes at all basketball and football games.

That means that whether the colors of the gear are orange and blue, scarlet and grey or yellow and gold, the swoosh is present.
NIKE APPAREL The department also receives a special offer on football shoes based on a 2-for-1 program. In each contract year that the University has ordered at least 350 pairs of shoes, the University is entitled to order direct from Nike on a “2-for-1” basis, where for every two pairs of shoes ordered, one would be received for free. In the example provided in the contract, if for the 2006 season the University placed an initial order for 350 pairs and then the University ordered 150 more pairs, 100 would be paid at wholesale price while 50 would be received for free. Nike also provides 100 pairs of football shoes for each postseason bowl the team participates in. For the football gloves program, the University must order 500 pairs and is then entitled to the “1-for-1” basis. So if 500 pairs were ordered and another 100 were ordered, 50 would be paid at wholesale price and 50 would be free. Nike also receives other benefits for its sponsorship.

Alum donates $12M for center BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
Sidney Lu, University alumnus and CEO of Taiwan-based Foxconn Interconnect Technology, donated $12 million to create a learning and innovation center in the College of Engineering. The 36,000-square-foot addition will be built on the southeast side of the Mechanical Engineering Building. It will feature “active learning” classrooms that will foster collaborative learning and studying, as well as stateof-the-art tools and technol-
ogy, according to a University press release. Construction for the Sidney Lu Center for Learning and Innovation will begin in early 2017. In 2013, Lu donated $5 million to University to create the Tungchao Julia Lu Professorship in Mechanical Science and Engineering, named after his mother. Lu, who has degrees in mechanical engineering and mathematics, has visited the campus regularly since 2011. He said he noticed the Mechanical Engineering Building was in disrepair and wanted to help mend it.
Lu said it is important for the education of engineering students to move beyond a traditional setting, especially in the Internet age where information is so readily available. Currently, the Mechanical Engineering Building, built in 1950, is structured like a standard University hall with traditional classrooms and offices. Lu said the field requires more modern spaces that inspire students and allow them to collaborate. The University already planned a smaller renovation to the building to fix
inefficient mechanical systems, said Placid Ferreira, head of the mechanical science and engineering department. The department, along with the provost’s office and the Urbana-Champaign campus, allotted $11 million to address these concerns and remodel some classrooms and labs. Ferreira said architectural plans for the new project will be flexible in order to accommodate future renovations or another possible addition.

TEDxUIUC inspires community BY MICHELLE REDONDO STAFF WRITER
As the lights lowered and speakers took center stage, 500 attendees waited to listen to the lectures given at TEDxUIUC 2015: At Crossroads on Sunday. TEDxUIUC is an annual, independent event branched off the popular TED talks. Tyler Matteson, MBA student and TEDxUIUC director of marketing, said choosing the theme was the most crucial aspect and all 14 talks encompassed different perspectives on the theme. “We had a light bulb moment,” Matteson said. “Crossroads is decisionmaking on every scale — personal, cultural, societal, global. It’s something that impacts every one of us in our daily lives.” TED was founded as a nonprofit in 1984 as a platform for aspects of technology, entertainment and design to converge. TED Talks are focused on spreading ideas through lectures less than 18 minutes long. Once the theme was decided, Matteson and the rest of the TEDxUIUC team reached out to potential speakers to gauge their interest. The event was open to all who were interested. “It’s open to absolutely everyone. We definitely see the faculty as a source of huge knowledge,” Matteson said. “We encourage each and every person to attend the talks.” Two of Sunday’s talks focused on the United States’ obesity epidemic and improving people’s relationship with food. April Winslow, dietitian at Choose to Change Nutrition Services, opened up

This led to 16 years of binge eating and an unhealthy and overweight lifestyle. Eventually, Winslow said she realized she was at a fork in the road: She could either transform her life or stay the same. “I ended up turning at my fork and started eating for consciousness and truth,” Winslow said. “I didn’t want excuses, I wanted ownership. Being
conscious makes you powerful.” Following Winslow’s talk, Maria Ludeke, CEO of Creative Health, discussed how the marketing of unhealthy foods contributes to obesity in America. She said 69 percent of adults and 39 percent of children in America are overweight or obese. “These statistics came from 2012, and we know those rates have only grown,” Ludeke said. The key is in the marketing strategy — foods with more fun and appealing packaging attract children, she said. “If we could make children love snacks solely based on the design of the packaging and creativity with the marketing, I know we can use those same tactics for selling fruits and vegetables,” Ludeke said. She added that the food
choices we make as a nation correlate to the fact that one in every four deaths in America are caused by heart disease each year, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Ludeke said 90 percent of information transferred to the brain is visual. “Escaping marketing and social media in our current world isn’t an option for certain people,” Ludeke said. “If we want to change, we must change what we see.” As TEDxUIUC continues to grow, Matteson said he looks forward to the future. “It’s a phenomenal event, and this year has been a huge success,” Matteson said. “We filled up all 500 seats, and we’re expecting good news for next year.”

Rauner’s cuts threaten autism program BY CAELI CLEARY STAFF WRITER
Gov. Bruce Rauner announced The Autism Program, TAP, will no longer receive funds for the rest of fiscal year 2015 and will face severe budget cuts in fiscal year 2016 on World Autism Awareness Day, April 2. According to the TAP website, the program provides free support and services to people with autism spectrum disorder. TAP is the largest statewide resource for autism, and requires state funding to operate. Faced with the upcoming budget cuts, some of the 19 facilities run by both universities and nonprofit organizations will be forced to close their doors. Although other TAP centers, such as the center in

Substance abuse centers in Illinois saw heroin as the largest drug admission in 2010, which reported more than 10,000 treatment episodes, according to the White House’s Illinois Drug Control Update. Bruce Suardini, CEO of Prairie Center Health Systems, said the program will save taxpayers money because those in the program will not be incarcerated.
Aurora, will have to close, the Champaign center will remain open with the help of outside funds and donations. Aaron Ebata, director of University’s branch of The Autism Program and professor in the department of human community and development, said the program received $4.3 million in state funding last year. The TAP center currently has student interns on staff to help facilitate programs and assist visitors with using TAP resources. However, after this semester, Ebata said the program will no longer be able to afford employing student interns. “The one thing that is kind of ironic is that a lot of families who have kids with autism oftentimes real-
ly have to fight to get services for their kids,” Ebata said. “It’s really too bad that now they have to go to battle again just to fight for some resource that provide help for their families.” If eliminated from the state’s budget, TAP will no longer provide families with services such as screenings, training for parents and social therapy.

According to a letter on the Prairie Center’s website from Del Ryan, Drug Court Coordinator of Champaign County, the yearly average cost to house a prisoner in the Illinois Department of Corrections is $24,500, while the cost for a drug participant in the drug program is $4,000 per person. Ford said people in the program are required to go through an educational system if they do not possess a high school diploma or the equivalent. He said participants are also required to have a job while in the program. According to a press release from Carle, the program is using the drug Vivitrol, which is produced
by Alkermes, a global biopharmaceutical company, because the drug reduces cravings. The drug is administered through one monthly shot, compared to the usual daily pill, according to the press release. The heroin program is being funded in part by Alkermes, which is providing the first shot free for each person and offering a rebate that will cover half the cost of any following shots to those in the program, Ford said. The average cost of the shot varies, but prices usually range from $850 to $1,100, according to the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence. The shots will be administered to

The Illinois Student Senate proposed a resolution in response to Rauner’s cuts, which called for support to help save The Autism Program. “It says that we urge Governor Rauner and the acting secretary of the Illinois

A new approach to addiction
T
raditionally, heroin intake and addiction are seen as crimes, and it seems as though drug abusers are negatively stigmatized but not always given proper, comprehensive care. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “addiction changes the brain, disturbing the normal hierarchy of needs and desires.� These thoroughly negative effects call for strong treatment measures and a new way of looking at addiction. Thankfully, Vivitrol will soon start being administered at Carle Foundation Hospital. This treatment measure will hopefully start to break the negative stigmas associated with drug use and serve as a successful way to combat addiction. Vivitrol is a once-amonth injection that blocks the effects of drugs such as morphine, heroin and other opioids, therefore reducing the cravings people have for these drugs. While it is a pricey medicine, it is highly supported by the Champaign County Drug Court as well as by Carle, even in financial respects. Currently, Carle has an Addiction Recovery Center that provides professional treatment, counseling and adolescent treatment, as well as providing other resources. While these are great services for users, increased drug use in our surrounding areas could call for a stronger, reinvigorated approach to treatment programs. Luckily, Vivitrol injections will update these programs and will hopefully help lessen addiction, as it is non-addictive and is different than many other medicines currently used to treat heroin addiction. By ushering in the use of Vivitrol, the Champaign County Drug Court has recognized the prevalence and stigmas associated with addiction. They are attempting an alternate program aimed at reducing drug use. Addicts are generally either incarcerated or placed into rehabilitation programs. Unfortunately, this lumps together all addicts without individualizing treatment. Rehab programs have relapse rates between 40 to 60 percent, making it hard to recover or build a life after incrimination or periods of drug abuse. Starting Vivitrol treatments symbolizes a step toward providing the right treatment for drug abusers, which could change societal ideas, especially with so much support for the use of this medicine. Vivitrol could be a way to solve and prevent addiction that could ideally lead to long-term sobriety and could help addicts transition into society again. By investigating cures and developing new treatments like Vivitrol, we enforce the idea that addiction is similar to a curable illness, rather than a marker of criminality.
Do what’s right and divest from coal THOMAS DOWLING Opinions columnist
We
live in a world that is unwilling to accept responsibility for climate change. Our country and, more importantly, our University is willing to talk about climate change, but both have failed to actually address the impending threat.
The United States’ actions do not match its promises. President Barack Obama has been willing to make bold statements such as, “I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that’s beyond fixing,� but hasn’t taken bold action. If Obama is talking up the cause of climate change, we should expect to see more proactive action from the executive branch.
A quick search of the Environmental Protection Agency’s website will enforce this. Although the EPA talks about developing new carbon emission standards, there is not a single concrete proposal under the Obama administration that actually addresses rising carbon emissions, one of the main causes of climate
change. We are being let down by our government, but this is hardly a surprise. Time and time again, people have looked upon the wall of resistance and taken action into their own hands. University students are equally proactive. UIUC Beyond Coal, a registered student organization pressuring the University to divest endowment funds from coal, has led an aggressive campaign to prevent the University from investing millions of dollars into the coal industry. The University currently has $5.1 million indirectly invested in coal producing businesses, and for UIUC Beyond Coal, that is $5.1 million too much. However, they too have hit the wall, and that wall is the University of Illinois. The University has made efforts to appear environmentally friendly. For example, the solar farm being built this spring will be one of the largest on-site university solar
arrays in the country. Recent construction on campus, such as the Electrical and Computer Engineering building, has also embraced environmentally conscious design. Despite these efforts, the University has failed to completely embrace environmentally-friendly values. As mentioned, the University still invests $5.1 million of its endowment into coal companies. Through that investment, the University endorses coal companies and perpetuates unclean emissions. Divesting, on the other hand, would send a clear message to the world that the University takes environmental issues seriously and is willing to put its money where its mouth is. Further, in last year’s referendum, 1,730 out of 2,020 student voters supported divestment from coal companies, but still today this vote in support of divesting has not been heeded. Despite this support from students, no steps have been

taken toward divestment. Cary Shepherd, director of communications for Beyond Coal and student in LAS, went to the Board of Trustees six months ago to remind the University of the students’ passed mandate against coal investments. Shepherd said his pleas were met with disinterest. Obvious apathy has manifested itself in University policy. “Chancellor Wise is a scientist. She understands the threat climate change poses, but she has failed to take action,� Shepherd said. “We have campus support, and that’s not translating to administrative action.� Beyond Coal has changed its strategy and has seen some success — 48 faculty members have signed their open letter demanding University divestment. Beyond Coal hopes to gain traction with the administration through professors’ support, and Chancellor Wise should take note. This is our school, and more importantly, this is our future. The University administration was hired to represent our school, and has failed to represent our decision to divest.

The United States of Joe Biden BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
T
hough it may be hard to believe, one of America’s most prolific politicians will be visiting central Illinois in the coming days. Vice President Joe Biden will be on campus Thursday in recognition of the Illinois Student Senate’s participation in the “It’s On Us� campaign, which aims to prevent sexual assault on college campuses. Visits from high-profile politicians are particularly rare around these parts. Illinois’ primary isn’t one of the earliest or most exciting, and when the general election comes, it doesn’t get much better. Illinois has voted Democrat in every presidential election since 1988, so presumably, there’s really not that much campaigning to be done here. That being said, on Thursday the Champaign-Urbana area will be nationally politically relevant, even if only for a few hours. In honor of this, I think it’s time we take a look back at our vice president, and why he may have been the best vice president of all time. (That’s a hyperbole, but at least Joe Biden is a great time.)
The office of vice president isn’t very glitzy. OK, that’s not true — it’s the position for the person who is next in line to command the free world, arguably. But as far as actual political duties go, the vice president’s role is certainly a position that is more behindthe-scenes than anything else. With that being said, through his numerous good-natured gaffes and wonderful mixture of aloofness and preparedness, Joe Biden has been perhaps the most perfect man for a job that could use some spicing up. Biden is the type of vice president any American should want — he speaks his mind, but does so in a hilarious and fairly non-offensive way. Who could forget the time he forgot the mic was on and called the passage of the Affordable Care Act a “big f---ing deal� on national television? Or the time he accidentally leaked the Obama administration’s support of same-sex marriage on national television before President Obama himself had
a chance to announce it. These slip-ups are far from scandal-level, but rather inspire more laughs than anything else. Honestly, if my vice president isn’t on a diplomatic mission to save us from impending doom, I’d prefer him to appear to be human and fallible — a luxury that our president cannot afford. Even with all of these comical flubs, Biden remains on his game. Remember the 2012 vice presidential debate against Paul Ryan? Biden absolutely destroyed Ryan, coining one of the greatest debate one-liners of all time. When confronted by a slew of vicious attacks on defense spending from Ryan, Biden simply retorted: “With all due respect, that’s a bunch of malarkey.� I don’t know about you, but “malarkey� is one of the best words I’ve ever heard since watching “Leave It to Beaver� on TV Land. Not to mention, the look on Ryan’s face was priceless. (The looks from Biden during the debate were pretty comical, as well.) Please don’t get me wrong
Joe Biden has been perhaps the most perfect man for a job that could use some spicing up.
— while most of this column was written largely with a humorous slant, Biden has been a perfectly adequate vice president. Maybe he hasn’t done anything groundbreaking, but when it comes to the vice president, who really cares? His job is to be a figurehead; he had to give speeches and kiss babies, and for the past seven years. I couldn’t have asked for anything more from Pennsylvania Joe. Even more so, though, he’s been the only vice president I could imagine wanting to have a beer with, and as an added bonus, he’s never even shot anyone in the face before. (Looking at you, Cheney.) Maybe it’s too late for Joe Biden to run for president again, (he’ll be 73 in November) but a man can dream. At the very least, I will look back on his time in office with a smile — not necessarily because of all the great things he accomplished, but because of his ability to be a political firebrand/goofball in a system perpetually run by boring old white dudes in suits. So thanks, Joe. It’s been a fun two terms. Let me know if you want to grab a bite to eat while you’re in town. I’m sure you’ve got some good stories.

French film questions gender roles LILLIAN BARKLEY Staff writer
C
ĂŠline Sciamma’s “Girlhoodâ€? tackles stereotypes from the first scene. The 2014 French film was screened Friday at the 17th annual Ebertfest. The film is the coming-of-age tale of 16-year-old Marieme, played by Karidja TourĂŠ. Marieme comes from a low-income home with two younger sisters, a working mother and an abusive brother. It was an Ebertfest first because the production company watermarked the copy since it needed subtitles. Set in the suburbs of Paris, the opening scene features an American football game. The players’ faces are initially blurred. But once the action begins, viewers see that they’re clearly girls. This theme is repeated throughout the film, which makes sense, considering the direct translation of the French title is “Band of Girls.â€? While the film expresses feminist views, it stresses other issues as well, including racism, economic class and educational failure. Sciamma’s direction focuses on distinct chapters in Marieme’s life, separated by extended cuts to black. Although the film deals with harsh realities, the clarity and color of each shot is anything but. Vivid colors, particularly shades of blue, and high-definition close-ups enhance the characters’ emotions. The plot is clear “even if you don’t understand French. There’s so much going on there visually,â€? said Eric Pierson, associate professor at the Uni-

Early in the film, Marieme learns she will be forced to go to vocational school due to her grades. Desperately wanting to avoid the same path that her mother took, she quits school and is welcomed into a tough-love girl gang. Stereotypical expectation would indicate this to be her downfall. But Lady (Assa Sylla), the gang’s leader, takes Marieme under her wing with the help of other members Fily (MariĂŠtou TourĂŠ) and Adiatou (Lindsay Karamoh). Marieme transforms herself into Vic, meaning “victory.â€? As Vic, she switches her youthful braids for long, smooth hair and begins incorporating her signature, vivid blue into her outfits. She also begins to party and shoplift. “People make the best opportunity out of the choices that they have,â€? Pierson said. A turning point in the film comes when the girls get a hotel room, pour liquor into a plastic bottle of Coke and dance in stolen dresses to Rihanna’s “Diamonds.â€? They fall asleep, tangled together on the bed. It’s a typical teenage “girls’ night.â€? They dress
up for no one but themselves and trade compliments as they get ready. The fierce expressions they wear on the street slip away, revealing teenage youth and innocence as they laugh together. Within the girl gangs, the ladies spit insults at each other from across the tracks, fight rival gangs and flash prized pocketknives but are constantly reminded of a greater threat. They live in a society where men constantly circle like vultures, waiting for one of the girls to lose hope in the rough concrete desert. When Vic cautiously enters a relationship with her brother’s friend IsmaĂŤl (Idrissa DiabatĂŠ), her brother shames her for exploring her budding sexuality, even though the other men receive no punishment from the gendered double standard. In “Girlhood,â€? Vic’s fight to break out of the expectations prescribed to her based on her race, class and gender come together in an empowering, realistic story which is best captured by the mantra Lady makes Vic repeat to herself: “I do what I want.â€?

Ebertfest attendees participate in a Q&A section following the screening of “99 Homes� with director and co-writer Rain Bahrani and actor Noah Lomax on Saturday. The film was one of 13 shown during the festival. stage after seeing that same show, simply asked Palminteri to partner with him to make it into a movie – just like that. That same degree of simplicity and honesty is apparent in every component of the film. Both Palminteri and Kilik repeatedly emphasized the importance of authenticity. Palminteri fully acknowledged that his writing has imbedded social messages, but he didn’t necessarily intend their presence. By writing the truth, he said, those social messages appear naturally. He went one step further and proposed that an artist has to focus on creating a beautiful and true story. The social activism will follow organically. “I just wrote a beautiful tale, from my heart, about my life. If you set out to write messages ... it never happens,� Palminteri said. “Just write something that’s honest.� Beyond the authenticity of the writing, the filmmakers meticulously completed research on fashion, clothing and setting. Furthermore, many of the characters within the movie were not and still are not professional actors; they were guys from
around the city. But nothing in the film seemed forced or fabricated. The audience was audibly engaged with that degree of reality. There were multiple points of laughter during the film, and the audience was further touched or frightened along with all the characters. Yet for the all of the importance placed on frankness and honesty, the film was anything but simple. “A Bronx Tale� touches on sensitive, complex issues, whether intentionally or not, that are unfortunately still present in society today, such as gender inequality, racism and classism. The film was hugely successful in creating a gripping storyline with empathetic characters but also in forcing the audience to re-examine social issues that we still have not solved since the film was released in 1993. At the conclusion of the film, the theater jumped up for a deserved standing ovation.

would never deny that “A Bronx Tale� is a great film; it references important dialogue about race relations, gender construction, class discrepancies and morality. But experiencing “A Bronx Tale� as introduced by Roger Ebert’s wife, Chaz Ebert, viewing it as a 35-mm print that belongs personally to Martin Scorsese and listening to writer and actor Chazz Palminteri and producer Jon Kilik talk about making the film put the story in a different light. Kilik agreed that Ebertfest is something above and beyond just any of the films themselves. “As much fun as I have making the movies, I actually enjoy this even more because it’s a chance to give back to the community,� Kilik said. At first glance, the film is a story about a young boy who falls in with a “bad� crowd, which deeply concerns his father. It is also a coming-of-age tale, a story about morality and what is right and what is wrong — is there even a right and a wrong? It explores racial conflicts in urban settings in the 1960s; it asks what it means to be a man. Yet perhaps even more interesting than all of that is the creative process behind the film. When he was financially insecure, Chazz Palminteri wrote and began to perform a one-man show about his life. Director and actor in the film, Robert De Niro, who was back-

In The Virginia Theatre’s gold, ornate rooms, the aroma of popcorn wafted through the air Wednesday night as people socialized and took programs from ushers. Outside, the theatre’s sign illuminated the reason behind the commotion: 17th annual Ebertfest. Ebertfest, founded by the late-movie critic and University alumnus Roger Ebert, took place Wednesday through Sunday. Beginning in 1998, Ebert formed the festival to recognize movies that didn’t receive the credit and attention they deserved. It takes place at The Virginia Theatre every April, drawing in people from the C-U community, University and beyond. This year’s festival featured 13 movies and notable guests such as director James Ponsoldt, actor Jason Segel, actress Julieta Zylberberg and the Alloy Orchestra. The festival opened with “Goodbye to Language,� the first 3D movie in Ebertfest history. Next, there was the “Harold Ramis Tribute,� which featured short clips from Ramis’s movies and a panel including his wife Erica Ramis and producer
Trevor Albert. Ebert’s wife Chaz Ebert, who hosts and organizes the fi lm festival, introduced the tribute and guests, expressing her fondness of Ramis. “He truly was a renaissance man,� Chaz said. “When you look at his work, he was in almost every aspect of entertainment — a writer, a producer, a director, an actor.� On Thursday night, actor Jason Segel was in attendance because of his role as David Foster Wallace in “The End of the Tour.� The movie was prereleased for the festival. Sherry Slade, a volunteer zone-leader and usher for the VIP section, said it was difficult to fit everyone in the theatre. “When you get big names, you get huge crowds,� Slade said. Slade said she has been volunteering at Ebertfest since it began 17 years ago. She explained that she went to school with Roger Ebert at Urbana High School. Slade said the festival brings all of the action to the C-U area. “If you read the newspapers, everything is pretty much around Ebertfest when this is going on,� she said. “It’s the talk of the town, and it does a lot for businesses.�

here’s something kind of “meta� about writing an article about a movie about someone writing an article. But it’s
particularly fitting for a review of “The End of the Tour,� which was screened at the 17th annual Ebertfest Thursday night. The movie, directed by James Ponsoldt and starring Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg, is “meta� in itself. Based off journalist David Lipsky’s 2010 book “Although of Course
Friday’s movies included “Girlhood,� from France, “The Son of the Sheik,� a silent film featuring the Alloy Orchestra, and the 1993 fi lm, “A Bronx Tale.� Michael Barker, Sony Pictures Classics Co-Founder and Co-President, introduced the Argentinian film “Wild Tales� on Saturday, which is comprised of six different comedic story lines. Barker was Ebert’s friend and has been a festival regular since 2001. Barker said Ebertfest is different than other festivals because only one movie is shown at a time. He said this allows people watching films like “Wild Tales� to focus and not let anything else in their brains for two hours. “That is how you can get films to really give meaning to life, to focus and pay attention to the glory of something that, in our normal everyday lives, we would just go and let it pass,� he said. “That is just an amazing thing.� Usher Carlo Anzelmo, along with his wife, Peggy, has also been a volunteer usher for 16 out of the 17 years. Anzelmo said the people are his favorite part of the festival. “They are such a wonderful
You End Up Becoming Yourself,�the film depicts Lipsky’s travels with acclaimed author and Champaign-Urbana native, David Foster Wallace. Perhaps the best way to describe this film is by what it is not. It is not a biopic — a point underscored by Ponsoldt during the question and answer session following the screening. “I don’t think of it as a biopic,� he said. “To try to reduce a life to 105 minutes feels so reductive and flat and just insulting to the complexity of human life.�
group of people, all dedicated to one thing,� he said. “The people (who) keep coming back year after year is even better.� Kim Jing, junior in LAS, however, volunteered at the festival for the first time. She said she decided to be an usher because she loves movies, and Ebertfest is the big fi lm scene in Champaign-Urbana. In addition to the popcorn, candy and “Thumbs Up� (Ebert’s trademark) iced cookies offered at the theatre concessions, there were food trucks including Steak ‘n Shake, a local favorite of Ebert’s, and artists selling their wares in a tent outside Saturday. Eric Irion was one of the artists. Irion, who owns Irion Photography, said the tent was made up of members of the Champaign Disability Resource Expo, an organization that has attended Ebertfest for the past three years. “(Ebertfest) gives us an opportunity to show our art, just like film is an art,� Irion said. After the “Wild Tales� viewing Saturday, Barker reflected on what Ebert would think of last weekend’s festival. “The thing about Roger, I think he designed everything for the future. He
Though the movie has many laughable moments — with extra, knowing chuckles among this particular crowd at the mention or depiction of life in Bloomington-Normal — and shows the development of a relationship between the two Davids, it’s not what you would call a comedy, either.

Segel plays Wallace, an intricate, somewhat prophetic author that “treasured his regular guy-ness.� The role is a departure of sorts for Segel, who usually plays simpler, fictional characters. In order to bring Wallace to life, the actor rented a remote house outside of Los Angeles, joined a book club to read Wallace’s “Infinite Jest�and listened to Lipsky’s actual recorded conversations with Wallace in order to pick up on the tone of their relationship.

Illinois’ Geronimo Allison attempts to outrun Jevaris Little and Dillan Cazley during the annual football Spring Game at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The Orange won 44-41.
Orange claims victory BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
Despite a 17-point deficit to start the game and another 17 points awarded to the White team at halftime, the Orange team won the annual Illini football Spring Game 44-41 and earned steak dinners. With the Orange team consisting of starters and ones, and the White team mostly twos and threes, head coach Tim Beckman wanted both teams to compete as if the game were a regular-season matchup. “I’m excited about the 15 practices, and I’m excited about moving forward,� Beckman said. “I thought it was important for our football team to compete against one another.� Despite the secondstring opposition, quarterback Wes Lunt showed off his arm. After battling
injury for half of last season, the starting quarterback threw 17-of-26 for 236 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. Lunt started off the game missing a few throws and completing some for small yardage, but the junior heated up as the half progressed and improved with a few throws, including a 43-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Geronimo Allison. The 43-yard touchdown was one of two that Allison caught. The senior finished with 121 receiving yards on four passes. Senior Justin Hardee led the way with 124 receiving yards on six passes and one touchdown. Lunt said the transition without No. 1 wide receiver Mike Dudek, who tore his ACL in spring practice on April 8, was a struggle
for the offense at first. The offense has made adjustments — specifically moving up Dionte Taylor and relying more on starting running back Josh Ferguson. “I thought our offense made a step forward,� Lunt said. “We’ve been struggling a little bit just getting our footing since Mikey, but today was nice to see the receivers and Henry really step up and make strides.� Beckman announced Saturday that freshman running back Dre Brown partially tore his ACL at Thursday’s practice during a non-contact drill. The team inspected his knee after noticing swelling and found out the severity of the injury on Friday. Brown was a 2015 recruit who enrolled at the University early so he could par-
ticipate in the spring portion of the season. He was ranked the seventh-best player and the second-best running back in the state according to 247sports. com. The freshman was having a productive spring and both Beckman and offensive coordinator Bill Cubit have said that if the season was underway, Brown would be the No. 2 running back behind Ferguson. Brown’s injury is the second ACL tear suffered by an expected offensive contributor this spring. Dudek is expected to return in October after his injury earlier this month. “It’s one of those things that happen,� Beckman said. “You never want it to happen. Nobody wants to get hurt ... you’re going

2014, Wes Lunt played his best football late in games, bringing the Illinois football team back in the fourth quarter multiple times. The junior didn’t even play in the second half of Saturday’s spring game and still managed to post some pretty impressive totals. He completed 17-of-26 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns and just about zero mistakes. He managed to make several difficult throws look easy, zipping passes all over the field from either hash mark and completing deep passes to Geronimo Allison, Justin Hardee and Dionte Taylor to help the Orange team to 27 first-half points. Lunt’s favorite target Saturday was Geronimo Allison, who caught four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns. For a few hours Saturday afternoon, the senior made sophomore Mike Dudek’s absence seem not so significant. Allison was open on deep routes as well as crossing routes, and if he has a big season in the fall, he and Lunt could make each other look really good. Lunt should be able to pick apart mediocre defenses — the Illinois backups and third-stringers for example — but relative to his uninspiring performance in last year’s spring game (6-for-
16 with one interception), Saturday was a good sign for the Illini. Head coach Tim Beckman — patrolling the field like a back judge for most of the game — said after the game that he told Lunt to “Throw it, throw it!� a couple of times, but was pleased overall with the junior’s performance. Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit has been playing film of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his quarterbacks because the Patriots run a lot of sets similar to the Illini. Lunt, who looks like he’s added several pounds of muscle in the offseason, said that Brady’s ability to stand tall in the pocket is something he’s trying to emulate. Illini fans should be drooling at the prospect of Lunt putting up Brady-esque numbers, especially after getting a glimpse of his skills last season before his leg injury. From the outset, it was clear this team is Lunt’s to lead — redshirt freshman backup Chayce Crouch has some talent and incoming freshmen Jeff George Jr. and Jimmy Fitzgerald are the darlings of the program’s future, but Lunt’s time is now. There was no quarterback race to serve as a distraction, and maybe that helped Lunt to focus. After the game Crouch said that he’s looking to learn from Lunt, a position Reilly O’Toole never would have been in last season. The bottom line is that

Illini bounce back after unexpected loss to Minnesota BY CHRIS KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
While the Illinois men’s tennis team clinched a share of the Big Ten title on Sunday, there was a cloud over the weekend road trip as the Illini’s perfect Big Ten season came to an end. On Friday, the team suffered its first conference loss of the year, dropping a 4-3 decision to Minnesota. On Sunday, a 4-0 win over Wisconsin secured the team a piece of the Big Ten regular season title, but it was little comfort for head coach Brad Dancer. “We’re still just not anywhere near where we need to be,� Dancer said. “I think we all got (the loss) sitting in our bellies still ... Our pride is wounded right now.� Friday night also ended a seven-match doublespoint winning streak. No. 47 Jack Hamburg and Mathieu Froment of Minnesota took down No. 60 junior Jared Hiltzik and senior Tim Kopinski on court one, 8-4, and freshman Aron Hiltzik and senior Ross Guignon lost a tiebreaker to Minnesota’s Felix Corwin and Leandro Toledo, 8-7 (3).

Three Illinois women’s gymnasts competed at the NCAA Championships on Friday at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Sophomore Mary Jane Horth, junior Giana O’Connor and senior Sunny Kato all failed to place in the top three in their respective events, but head coach Kim Landrus was still proud of her gymnasts. “They went in there, and they were extremely consistent,� Landrus said. “I’m so pleased with the way they went out there and represented Illinois.� O’Connor came away from the meet as the most successful of the Illini trio, taking home first-team AllAmerican honors in the allaround. The junior earned a 9.850 on balance beam, uneven bars and vault and a 9.875 on floor for a 39.425 all-around score. The score was good enough to tie for third in the afternoon semifinals session and sixth overall. Kato expressed her appreciation for O’Connor’s accomplishment after the meet. “I was so moved by her performance today,� Kato said. “She held her head high, and she was so confident, and it was amazing watching her. I was getting goose bumps, because she was doing so well. She looked so happy out there, so I could not be more proud of her, and she completely deserves being an All-American.� Horth also competed as an all-arounder, but didn’t score well enough to be named an All-American. She finished the meet with an all-around score of 39.200: 9.750 on floor, 9.800 on beam and vault and 9.850 on bars.

Softball nabs win against Badgers BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team pulled out a tough series win against visiting Wisconsin this weekend. The series came down to the second half of Saturday’s doubleheader, and it took a big comeback for the Illini (21-22, 10-5 Big Ten) to steal the series from the Badgers (19-24, 3-11 Big Ten). Game one saw Wisconsin snap Illinois’ seven-game winning streak by a score of 11-7. The Illini bounced back on Saturday, winning both games 5-3 and 12-8, respectively. “We did not play our best softball this weekend by any means,” said head coach Terri Sullivan. “But getting a series win is tough, and we played tough this weekend. We will take what we can get.” The Illinois pitching staff had a big problem with walks in the series’ rubber match. The Badgers scored eight runs on seven hits and five of the nine baserunners for the Badgers in their high-scoring third inning reached on a walk.
In the top of the third, the Illini looked like an earlyseason form of themselves, when they were susceptible to about one bad inning a game — a huge reason they started the season 8-16. In the latter end of the doubleheader, the Illini did not allow the Badger outburst to shake their confidence. Instead of folding, Illinois chipped away at the threerun deficit, and by the fifth inning had retaken the lead. Behind a strong outing from sophomore pitcher Jade Vecvanags, the Illini held that lead for the rest of the game. Vecvanags inherited a bases-loaded, one-out jam when she entered the game in the third inning. She gave up two runs before getting out of the inning. After the third inning, Vecvanags settled in, striking out six batters in 4 2/3 innings without giving up any more runs. The sophomore took on the brunt of the pitching this weekend. She got the decision in all three games, pitching a total of 15 2/3 innings in the series — Vecvanags’ record is now 15-9 on the season.

Hidden Stat: Jade Vecvanags has recorded the last 18 decisions for the Illini. “Her mental toughness has grown by leaps and bounds,” Sullivan said. “She didn’t let the third inning phase her, and she came back and pitched amazing. That was something our pitchers weren’t doing back at the beginning of the season.” The Illini offense stayed hot throughout the series, scoring 24 runs in three games. Saturday’s first game, however, broke the Illini’s 13-game streak dur-

In Saturday’s second game, the Illini scored at least one run in every inning, only the second time that has happened all season. Vecvanags said the consistent scoring gave her the confidence she needed to settle down and shut down the Badgers. “It is great knowing that the girls have my back,”
Vecvanags said. “It was really easy for me to get into my rhythm knowing that we are going to score runs.” The Illini are now only one game under .500 and sit at fourth place in the Big Ten. Saturday also provided the Illini with a bigger crowd than usual, due to the World’s Largest Softball Tailgate event. This was the 12th annual tailgate, and its average attendance is just
over a 1,000 people per year. Junior second basemen Allie Bauch said the big crowd helps, but the team doesn’t pay much attention to the event. “We really try to stay focused on the game,” Bauch said. “It is a really cool event, but we always say that it is for the fans and not for us.”

Illini reign at Twilight Meet Rain thwarts baseball sweep against Indiana BY EMMA MCGOWEN STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s track and field team hosted the Illinois Twilight meet on Saturday, competing against nine other teams. The Illini took first in the meet — the team won 10 events, set two facility records, and 25 collective personal and season bests. In the 10-team field, Eastern Illinois, who placed second with 125.5 points, was believed to be Illinois’ biggest competitor, but the Illini won the meet with 247 points. “(Eastern) has a deep team, so they were certainly the best squad here for us to compete against,” said head coach Mike Turk. “This time of year I just worry about the weather and I felt like if the weather was decent, we’d perform pretty well. The weather was great, so we had a good day.” Junior Cam Viney competed in two events, the 110-meter hurdles and the 400-meter dash, running a personal record in both. While Viney often competes in the 110, Saturday was the first time he ran the 400, which proved challenging — Viney said he had no prior knowledge about his competitors. Despite his lack of experience running the 400, he placed first in of a field of 17, with a time of 47.05 seconds. He finished the 110 in 13.89 seconds, good enough for second in the event.

Following two-straight wins over Big Ten foe Indiana (21-15, 5-8 Big Ten), Illinois (32-6-1, 10-1) couldn’t go for the series sweep and its 14th-straight victory on Sunday due to poor weather conditions. Sunday’s game was originally scheduled to begin at noon but was moved up to 10 a.m. in an attempt to avoid the incoming rain. That didn’t work out, though, and after more than a four-hour rain delay, the conference matchup was cancelled anyway. There will be no makeup game.

Kopinski gave the Illini the

The match came down to court six, where senior Blake Bazarnik, who clinched last weekend’s senior day match against Nebraska, fell in a hard-fought match to the Gophers’ Mathieu Froment. Bazarnik was
defeated in a third-set tiebreaker, losing 6-3, 4-6, 6-7 (2). “We have to play significantly more emphatic doubles,” Dancer said. “And then we just have to stay cool and trust ourselves in the singles court.” The Illini took care of business on Sunday at Wisconsin, sweeping the Badgers 4-0. The doubles pairs returned to good form – the team of Kopinski and Hiltzik
and the team of Gosea and Vukic both picked up wins. In singles, Bazarnik, Vukic and Kopinski secured the sweep and the share of the Big Ten regular-season title.

The Illini women finished second and fourth in the novice fours. The Illinois men’s first varsity eight finished second, the men’s second varsity eight finished fifth, the men’s varsity four finished second and the men’s novice eight finished third.

It was a bit windy during our race, but we didn’t let that stop us from giving it everything we had,� men’s team captain Mike Varga said. “We had the oppor-
tunity to compete against some very strong competitors, and we were able to hold our own.� This was the third time Illinois has hosted the regatta. “It’s been the warmest day of the year so far, so it was a surprise that everyone now had to pay attention to making sure they were hydrated, making sure they were resting between their races, making sure that they were drinking enough water, while trying to keep this regatta running because it really was our coaches and our team running this event,� women’s team president Meridith Kisting said. Kisting said the team is trying to raise the level of competition in the Midwest with the regatta race. “Every year the teams that come out here to race against us have really stepped it up and boats all across the board have gotten faster,� she said. “It’s hard enough hosting a race but it’s really hard when you’re not hosting it at your regular practice facility,� women’s head coach Erik Kroeker said. The team usually practices
at Homer Lake in Clinton, Illinois. Despite the difficulties, Kroeker said he feels good about the regatta. “I’m happy about the results. As always, we’re looking to improve over the next few weeks,� Kroeker said. “As many races as we did win, we still have other races where we felt we could have done better.� Varga also alluded to the hard work not being over. “We hope to continue to get faster and stronger as we begin to approach the end of our season,� Varga said. Next weekend the team will go to the Mid-American Collegiate Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “It’s really our last race before we actually go to Nationals and we’re also going to be facing a lot of the same teams that we’re going to be seeing at nationals,� Kroeker said. “The best teams in the Midwest are all going to be centered at the race, so we really have to have good performance.�

Illinois rugby finishes 6th in Big Ten tournament BY ZOE KALER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
KEVIN VONGNAPHONE SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER
Illinois’ Joe Bird goes after Michigan’s offense during the Big Ten Rugby Tournament against Michigan at the Complex Fields on Saturday.
The Illinois men’s rugby team finished sixth in an eight-team field Saturday in the Big Ten Championship Tournament. Hosted at the University at the PAR/FAR playing fields, the tournament was structured with two pools of four teams — two teams advanced from each pool and two were sent to the consolation bracket. The teams were divided into the two pools depending on seeding. Illinois was in a pool with Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin. Indiana, Iowa, Northwestern and Purdue comprised the second pool. In pool play, the Illini defeated Michigan State 21-17 and Wisconsin 19-17,

Can the U.S.—Can the World— Afford a Palestinian State? The Middle East is in chaos: Islamists are waging bloody jihad— and winning— and Palestinian society is collapsing. Is now the time for a Palestinian state? While the Middle East is being overrun by Islamic terror groups, and Palestinian political factions are verging on civil war, some world leaders now propose forced peace talks with Israel, guaranteeing the Palestinians a state. Can we really afford a Palestinian state ripe for takeover by terrorists?
but lost to Michigan 19-7. Because the number of wins and losses were equal for the teams in Illinois’ pool, point margins decided who advanced to the final championship games, and only two teams per pool were allowed to advance. Michigan and Wisconsin advanced, leaving the Illini in the consolation bracket. Illinois beat Northwestern 21-7 in its first consolation game, advancing to the fifth-place game against Iowa. The Illini lost to the Hawkeyes 38-12 in their final game of the season. “It was kind of a bad day. It was kind of demoralizing when we knew we weren’t going to make the finals,� said sophomore Rich Daniels. “(But) we got together and just told each other we were just going to play
like it was another team and have fun. We weren’t going to stress about it or worry about it.� Junior Joe Bird said the team’s motivation going into the Northwestern game was a lot about family and friends who came to spectate. “We wanted to put on a good game so that those guys could see some good rugby,� he said. Daniels said the high point of the season was realizing the team was going to be competitive. “They (other teams) kind of look at Illinois as just one of those rag-tag teams that’s not very organized,� Daniels said. “But we came in and showed true that we were a team that’s really dangerous.� Daniels also said the
weekend’s results don’t show the Illini’s true potential. Illinois placed second and third in earlier tournaments with conference opponents and finished the season with an 11-4 record. Indiana beat Wisconsin in the tournament’s championship game. Daniels said there wasn’t a specific player who excelled. “I can’t really call anyone out because we all played as a team, we all did our jobs right, and we’re all pretty much equal,� he said. Illinois is finished playing for the spring 2015. The team will start training again in August.

Palestinian civil While Israel, the United States and other nations have worked in good faith to create a Palestinian state, the Palestinians themselves have consistently rejected requirements that would ensure Israel’s security and survival. Today, explosive threats from radical Islamist terror groups in the Middle East, especially Iran, as well as the disintegration of social, economic and political order among the Palestinians, make a Palestinian state unrealistic. Rather, world leaders need to focus on stabilizing the region—especially Palestinian society—and put Palestinian statehood temporarily on hold. This message has been published and paid for by
