Un iversit y student Mengchen Huang, 25, has been identified as the victim in the Urbana Police Department’s ongoing homicide investigation, according to a press release from Champaign County Coroner Duane Northrup. Huang was a graduate student from Nanjing, China, enrolled in the School of Art and Design, said campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler. An autopsy will be performed and an inquest may be held at a future date. Suspect Yongfei Ci has been charged in connection with the death of Huang, and his bond has been set at $10 million according to the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office. Ci, 29, is the victim’s ex-boyfriend. He started at the University in 2008 and is currently pursuing a doctorate degree in math, Kaler said. According to a press release from the Urbana Police Department, at around 11 a.m. Friday, officers were dispatched to 1343 N. Lincoln Ave. and directed to an apartment where they found Huang dead.

Mitchell Smith, vice president of operations for The Scion Group, which owns and manages One South, confi rmed that the apartment was located at One South apartment complex, 1321 N. Lincoln Ave. According to the female who reported the incident, the suspect forced his way into the apartment and detained two females inside. One female, who was secured in the bathroom, left the apartment uninjured and stopped a person in the area, who then reported the incident to police. Local police and METCAD 911 were able to determine the possible location of the suspect using cellphone technology. The suspect was taken into custody at Value Place, a motel located at 1212 W. Anthony Drive in Champaign. An Illini-Alert describing the suspect was issued around 12:45 p.m. Kelsey Adler, junior in LAS, lives at One South and said she also received emails from One South notifying her of the homicide.

MTD earns environmental sustainability ISO certificate » » » » »
BY JULIANNE MICOLETA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Champaign-Urbana MTD became the sixth transit provider in the country and the only transit provider in Illinois to earn certification for its environmental sustainability and management system to International Organization for Standardization standards last week. The ISO 14001:2004 is a group of standards dealing specifically with environmental sustainability and management systems. It enables an organization to analyze, control and reduce the environmental impact of its activities, products and services, and operate with greater efficiency and control. Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance Ltd, the world’s leading provider of independent assessment services, conducted the certification audit of MTD’s program. “This certification means that our EMS program has been certified by an external auditor that looked at our system,” said Jane Sullivan, MTD sustainability and transportation planner. “They took a look to make sure
the proper procedures were in place and that we were training our employees correctly.” Sullivan said Lloyd’s personnel visited MTD to ensure that they were meeting state and local environmental regulations. The personnel visited and audited MTD’s maintenance facility and grounds that include a body shop, a fueling station, a bus wash, a machine shop, a tire shop and storage for parts and bus overflow. “They made sure that we were conducting things in a way that was maintaining a safe and clean environment,” Sullivan said. The certification process began in 2011 when MTD enrolled in the Federal Transit Administration’s ISO 14001 EMS Institute at Virginia Tech University. MTD employees traveled to the EMS Institute where, the center, along with local, state and federal government facilities, taught and assisted MTD to implement the ISO standards. “Some of our employees learned what it takes to create this system,” Sullivan said. “They were involved with writ-

ing procedures and then coming back here and training our other employees.” She said she thinks the certification proves that MTD is committed to environmental sustainability and that the company is very serious about watching its environmental impact. Many other environmental efforts are being taken beyond the certification. The most visible of these are the hybrid buses. As of January 2013, more than half of MTD’s 102 buses are hybrid. Additionally, there are various policies and practices that MTD has implemented to reduce its environmental impact and increase its commitment to a greener existence. “As an employee, I’m a big fan of (MTD’s) green practices,” MTD bus driver Stephanie Blunier said. “I think that they’re doing a lot and that their efforts go beyond the buses. They’re doing a lot in maintenance, and that’s where a lot of the environmental sustainability comes from.”
MTD shifts to hybrid buses as part of ISO sustainability certificate This is the 40-foot diesel-electric hybrid MTD bus, and it uses 25% less fuel than regular diesel buses. It is one of three different types of hybrid buses run by MTD, which altogether make up 54% of the MTD fleet - a total of 56 out of 102 that they have. The use of batteries offsets the emissions of nitrogen oxide and other smog forming emissions, resulting in better air quality and fewer greenhouse gases. CARRIAGE Hybrid buses are also expected to have lower maintenance costs for brakes, transmission and oil because engine and brake life lengthen substantially. In addition, there are fewer electrical parts in a hybrid bus than a traditional transmission. This means that less wear and tear means fewer dollars spent on repair.
EXHAUST Studies prove there are lower emissions of nitrogen oxide and other smog-forming emissions from hybrid buses than conventional diesel buses.
WINDOWS They also feature a more eco-friendly design that lets natural light flood in from emergency hatchets and a back window.

Civil rights activist speaks out about injustices of prison system Angela Davis shares her story at YMCA’s Friday Forum lecture
BY STANTON POLANSKI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Angela Davis, who spoke at the University YMCA on Friday, became the third woman to appear on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List on Aug. 18, 1970. She was being held accountable for the bloody aftermath of a California courtroom’s hostage situation and an ensuing shootout with police — but she wasn’t even there. She would stay at friends’ homes to avoid the FBI agents, and at night she’d be back on the move. The FBI found and arrested her in New York City in October 1970. But while she was in jail, an international movement rallied to set her free. She would later be released in

people behind bars than any other country in the world and holds 25 percent of the world’s prisoners; only 5 percent of the world’s population lives in the U.S. Davis said the number of jails in the country has been rapidly increasing since the war on drugs. “We see the increasing profitability in imprisonment,” Davis said. “The tendency is to assume that there are so many people in prison because these people commit crime. And then I have to ask, what about all the people who are not in prison who commit crime and who commit the same crimes as the people who are in prison?” Though Davis’ case in the early ‘70s was able to gain enough attention to force the court into giving her a chance at proving her innocence, many others are not as lucky. University YMCA Executive Director Mike Doyle said that Davis’ fame can help make forgotten stories better known. “Someone like Angela Davis

Anyone with information can call the Urbana Police Department at 384-2320 or Crime Stoppers at 373-8477.
MTD Board Trustee Willard Broom, who was heavily involved with the certification by being a part of the reviewing and assessing process, said this can be seen as another example of MTD’s commitment to the highest standard of environmental stewardship and sustainability. “It is another positive impact on the environment to make sure that we are doing as little possible to negatively impact it,” Broom said. “We are cutting costs with better business practices, and we are also using less resources ... more efficiently.”

This satellite and its accompanying transmitter is one in a network of 24 satellites in a proposal drafted by University engineering students. The proposal won in an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics competition for its ability to absorb and convert solar power.
Engineering project wins $1,500
BY SOPHIA SOPUCH STAFF WRITER
For a fi nal project, a group of eight University aerospace engineering students drafted a proposal that would win them fi rst place and $1,500 at an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics competition , but not an A on their project. For their senior design project, their aerospace engineering professor, David Carroll , asked them to design and propose a plan for a space-based solar power system, using the guidelines given by the AIAA competition. At the end of the year, the group was offered the option of submitting their fi nal project to the competition, and they did. Brian Levine , then-senior in Engineering, served as the lead engineer on the project. The project’s main goal was to collect solar power using solar panels in outer space and, somehow, deliver this energy back to earth so that its inhabitants could access and use it. The students were given three main guidelines that they had to base their design around. First, the students must keep the total cost under $21 billion. Second,
the system must be able to send one gigawatt of power back to Earth wirelessly. Finally, the system needs to be fully operational by the year 2040. Levine said the biggest challenge out of the three was being able to send a gigawatt of power back to earth. He said this was difficult because solar power is not necessarily the most effi cient form of energy. In their initial planning, the group estimated that the total area of solar panels necessary to accomplish this task would roughly cover Champaign-Urbana. Levine said that their original plan, which consisted of three satellites, reminded him of the Death Star, the fictionalized moon-sized space station and super weapon in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. When the team presented their fi rst proposal to their professor as a midterm, there was little hope of winning the competition. Levine said he left the midterm saying, “Man, this design sucks.” Carroll agreed, saying in an email, “At the end of fall semester last year, Brian’s team actually had an unworkable design.” Shortly after midterms, the
team met in a small conference room and started brainstorming new ideas, one of which was to downsize from the three massive satellites and use multiple smaller ones instead. Everyone supported splitting up the satellites once they began designing their new plan, Levine said. “We realized there were a lot of possibilities with small satellites.” The team envisioned how helpful this design would be in the face of a natural disaster because the satellites would be able to re-direct power from their system to the specifi ed area in need. Once the team had actual applications for the design and wasn’t just fulfi lling the requirements, Levine said the group members felt “miles ahead of everyone else.” The fi nal proposal included 24 satellites, each covered with solar panels. The solar power would then be converted into microwaves using a transmitter, which would be in orbit next to its solar panel satellite. This conversion is what would enable energy to be delivered back to Earth. Levine said the team chose to use microwaves instead of lasers after consid-
ering “what a giant space laser would do to the environment.” The microwaves would then travel to designated SolPatches — a term they coined — which would be located at different places on Earth. Each location would contain three SolPatches, which are a special type of antennae that convert microwaves into electricity, called a rectifying antenna, or rectenna . “The big advantage of having your power plants flying around the earth is that they can be in many places at one time,” Levine said. “You can’t move around a nuclear power plant, right?” On Sept. 10, Levine attended the AIAA space exposition in San Diego to present his team’s winning proposal and collect their $1500. Although Carroll said the team recovered “splendidly well” from their original proposal at the end of fall semester, the group still didn’t get an A on the project. “That’s just how it goes, I guess,” Levine said.

Ground broken for C-U women’s resource center BY TAYLOR ODISHO STAFF WRITER
Construction on a center for women in crisis began Sunday when officials broke ground on the construction site. Merci’s Refuge is a residential program that will be offered to women 18 years and older who find themselves in need of a place to stay due to an unplanned pregnancy, abuse or homelessness. Greta Henry, director of Champaign Ministries, has been working on the project since 2001 after it was passed down from the founder of Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resources Center. “It’s so exciting to see what God is doing in this area,” said Henry. Merci’s Refuge is an extension of Living Alternatives, which they describe as a nonprofit pregnancy resource center dedicated to saving the lives of unborn children while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through word and deed. Because Merci’s Refuge was funded entirely through public donations, they are allowed to help the women at the center through religion. Mary Kate Evans, clinical director at Merci’s Refuge, shared with the ceremony’s audience the story of her life’s struggles before she was reborn. She said she has since dedicated herself to
help other women that had been impacted the way she had been. Evans accepted her first job at a treatment center in Peoria that served women, but she always felt that, as a Christian, something was missing. Centers that accept government funding are prohibited from using religion as a tool. “We could talk about higher power, but to many of the women, higher power was the group, nature and for some, even a light bulb,” Evans said. Evans quit her job at the center and went on to accept a position with Merci’s Refuge. She said she looks forward to helping the women in the community. “It will offer a safe place for those who really want to change their lives and need a place to do that, and it will make a huge difference in our community,” Evans said. The center is set to be completed in May 2014. It will open as a one-floor facility that houses eight women. Once there is enough funding for the second half of the building to be completed, a basement will also be built to house an additional eight women. Each woman must enroll in a 9 to 12 month program. This program will provide residents with a series of classes to help them grow physically, emotionally and
spiritually as well as biblicallybased individual and group counseling from licensed counselors and social workers. In the end, Merci’s Refuge employees will help transition the women out of the program to start their new lives. “The goal of Merci’s Refuge is to help them realize the situations they get themselves into and save them,” said Terri Lipscomb, director of fundraising development at Merci’s Refuge. “And to give them good tools on how to get out of those situations in the future and what to look for to know where there’s going to be problems for them.” Lipscomb, along with the other speakers from Merci’s Refuge, feel very fortunate to have support from the community to make their dream of building the facility a reality. Kathy Loutrel of Mahomet has been praying for Merci’s Refuge for three years and said she is very excited to finally see it being built. “I think that it will give the community an opportunity to serve women whose lives have been broken and that want to change for the better,” Loutrel said.

Lit Fest, Made Fest showcase local and national talent
New additions to Pygmalion give the weekend a more personal touch and add a relaxed atmosphere BY ALICE SMELYANSKY STAFF WRITER
Set to a background of psychedelic inspired synths and indie rock beats, this year’s ninth annual Pygmalion Music Festival featured two new additions: Made Fest and Lit Fest. For the first time, Pygmalion, held from Sept. 26-28, included an art and literary festival alongside the music festival, for which it is famous. “(Pygmalion is) more than music,” said Justine Fein-Bursoni, producer of Made Fest and wife to Pygmalion creator Seth Fein. “It’s just a cultural event at this point.” Fein-Bursoni said she has helped her husband organize Pygmalion over the years. However, this year she finally brought to fruition an idea she thought of years ago at the first Pitchfork Music Festival, then named Intonation Festival, in 2005. “It was fun to be able to do
something that really was more up our alley,” Fein-Bursoni said. “As much as I love music, I’m a consumer and I love the arts and vintage wear, so it was really fun to provide a whole different realm of the music fest.” Last year, Fein-Bursoni decided to bring the art market to this year’s festival with her friend and artist, Alexia Brown. Together, Brown and Fein-Bursoni chose the vendors and organized the Made Fest. Among the mix were artists from Savoy, Ill., Chicago, Ill., Wisconsin, Connecticut and Iowa. In total, Made Fest featured 26 vendors who set up booths along Market Street in downtown Champaign on Sept. 28 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Ryan Martin, a junior in History Education at Illinois State University, attended the Made Fest on Saturday. “It seemed like a cool, extra
way to just add something for people to do if there aren’t bands playing that they like,” Martin said. “When I went (to Pygmalion) before, there weren’t always bands playing that I really wanted to watch, so it’s a good way for people to go and do something else.” Coast to Coast Mobile Vintage was one of Made Fest’s vendors. A vintage mobile shop from Connecticut, Coast to Coast Mobile Vintage showcases thrift store finds from all across America. A tag attached to each item identifies where the piece originated. Adam Lodynsky and Jaimee Dormer, the owners of Coast to Coast Mobile Vintage, began their business after purchasing a mobile home, for which they intended to sell their items in, on Ebay. They began traveling across the country, sharing vintage pieces with customers all over the country.
“We wanted to see the open road,” Lodynsky said. Also in attendance at the Made Fest was the Horny Girl Collection, from owner Laurie L. Martin. The collection features a variety of wearable sculptures with a feminist purpose. Martin has “horny girls” model her collection to show that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. “Sculpture is my way of saying ‘I love you,’” Martin said. In future years, Fein-Bursoni plans on adding more vendors to the Made Fest to give more artists an opportunity to debut their work. The Lit Fest also took place over the weekend, on Sept. 27 in Urbana and Sept. 28 in Champaign. Lit Fest’s creative director Caleb Curtiss brought Lit Fest to Pygmalion after being inspired by a similar event while attending Mission Creek Festival in Iowa
City. Curtiss worked with Fein to incorporate book readings near Pygmalion’s shows. “We were really intentional when we scheduled the writers and (we) booked the writers to try and build a tone with each reading,” Curtiss said. Dan Chaon, author of “Among the Missing,” James Greer, author of “Artifical Light” and Matt Bell, author of “In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods,” were a few of the authors whose work was featured. The readings took place at Cafeteria & Co., Buvon’s Wine Bar, Mike ‘N’ Molly’s and Memphis on Main, and were free to the public. The Lit Fest collaborated with the University’s creative writing program to organize the reading series. Jodee Stanley, director of the University’s creative Writing program, coordinated with Fein and Curtiss, both of who are alum-
ni of the program. “It seemed like a really great way to connect with the community and bring some of our favorite writers to town,” Stanley said. Both Fein-Bursoni and Curtiss said the new additions to Pygmalion created a more interactive atmosphere for festival goers. “They add, I would say, an enriching component that makes it a much more interesting and engaging festival,” Curtiss said. “It’s more of a community feel. You can interact with people without music playing, you can go to a reading, you can talk about the reading on the way to the next show, you can talk about the show on the way to the reading. We really see these as being interconnected parts that work together.”

ISS proposed constitutional change reduces power of University students
C
onstitutions, or any governing document for that matter, take an exceedingly high amount of time and consideration to author or rework. Eight months ago, the Illinois Student Senate unveiled a new version of its constitution, but it failed to collect enough signatures from the student body to put it on the annual referendum in the spring. Despite its failure, the senate is continuing its work on a new constitution. The latest working version of it still includes three significant, if not controversial, components: a change to the number of signatures required for referenda to appear on the ballot in the spring, a popularly elected student body president and a graduate leader position. Fortunately, ISS continues to work on the constitution because it’s not something that should be rushed. And it’s not something we can endorse. Last year, we strongly cautioned students from supporting the constitution specifically because of changes to the number of signatures required for students to implement policy changes at the University through referenda. The newest version of the constitution would require students to collect signatures from 10 percent of the student body (currently, it’s 7 percent), whereas members of ISS would need only 3 percent of the student body (currently, it’s 5 percent) and a twothirds vote among themselves. This version of the constitution requires at least 3 percent for senators — whereas the one last spring had no signature requirement — but it is still not fair to the students. The reduction of signatures required by the senate and the increase in signatures required by the student body serves only to circumvent students’ right to effect policy changes. The proposed signature requirements make it incredibly difficult for a student to propose a referendum on the ballot unless a student’s referendum is also endorsed by the senate. Basically, the senate wants to make itself a more important institution on campus, but this is not the way to do it. In return for taking away this student right to fairly propose referenda, the ISS constitution would allow the student body to directly elect its president. Right now, the senators elect the president among themselves like a parliament. But that’s not a fair trade. We know that students pay too little attention to ISS elections to make an informed choice about the student body president. As is, the current system works, especially if a popular election would mean trading for a more difficult referendum petition process. It would be irresponsible for ISS not to recognize this, too. Lastly, the new graduate leader position is a necessary addition to the constitution. The University does not have a student government for graduate students, who face vastly different issues than undergraduates, so the position would add some currently lacked representation. For all intents and purposes, the graduate leader position would act as a vice president, serving specifically graduate and professional students. The constitution needs work, and we’re happy to see that ISS recognizes that. We won’t be satisfied with the constitution, however, if it unfairly usurps power from students as the proposed one does.

Unpaid internships exploit students BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
It’s
starting to become that time of year again: temperatures finally aren’t awful, football is plentiful and the colors outside are magnificent. School is starting to get more intense and I’m finally starting to settle into a routine. Another thing I tend to associate with fall weather, however, are the throngs of people hoping to attend the mecca of academia, the career fair, while walking around campus wearing suits and dresses. You know you’ve seen them. I know I have, too. Maybe you’re even someone who attends in hopes of landing an internship, like many of my roommates were this week. Unlike my roommates, who are all engineers, I major in the liberal arts (classics, to be exact). The career fairs for us are few and far between. Landing an internship takes a lot of personal investigation and hard work, and almost all of the time, those internships require large amounts of time spent with no pay. This seems to be a shocking trend throughout nearly all industries as of late. Quite frankly, my message is this: Unpaid internships are a scheme. At the risk of sounding too antiestablishment, unpaid internships are tools used by companies
to exploit students for free labor. This, in exchange, allows that company to function while providing “work experience� for the student. Not only that, but there’s also the notion that most undergraduates are expected to have an internship at some point in their academic careers. Without one, it’s very difficult to build a resume and get a career or get into grad school. Thus, employers that offer unpaid internships are holding students hostage. They know we need the experience, but they also know we need compensation to live. Unfortunately, those that offer unpaid internships seem to leverage the two against each other as a way of gaining free labor. In fact, entities that have vast amounts of unpaid internships are actively destroying the entry level job market. A company could pay a new hire full time for their work — or they could just hire an intern for free instead. All that company has to do is say that the intern is gaining valuable and relevant training, that the internship won’t displace regular employees or that the employer doesn’t gain “immediate advantages� from the intern’s work, and that’s enough reason to withhold pay from them. If a company doesn’t have to spend that extra money, and can instead dole out tasks to a worker who is operating at no monetary cost to the company, why wouldn’t they? The sad fact is that many employing bodies use this strategy with no regards to the students
they are exploiting. The student then provides labor for the employer, allowing it to gain more profits. By logical means alone, this should mean that the student should gain some sort of compensation. The claim that many employers make is that they are giving the unpaid intern “work experience� or training. “Work experience� is not adequate compensation. Though this training can prepare an intern for the future and perhaps even give them a sense of what their prospective career may entail, “work experience� isn’t directly going to put food on the table or buy gasoline. This lack of pay, in turn, creates a climate where there is no upward mobility. If someone can’t afford to live that summer, semester or year without income, they become ineligible for the job in the first place. Thus, the entire unpaid internship process is exclusively available to those applicants who can afford to live without an income. Those who cannot afford that opportunity miss out on lifechanging chances, all while those who can afford to not have an income are gifted all of the opportunities. An entire realm of jobs require payment — our unpaid time and labor — to attain. If that’s not the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard, I don’t know what is. Isn’t this the land of “upward mobility� and pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps? Unpaid internships are destroying that
very idea. They are rigging the game in favor of those who can afford them and creating a biased field of employment all while exploiting individual interns. Some entities, however, seem to realize the error in unpaid internships, and thus their recruitment of top level talent here at the University has flourished. A good friend of mine in computer engineering had an internship this summer at Boeing in St. Louis, Mo. He was compensated over $10,000, and Boeing also paid for his summer housing. To someone from a liberal arts background, this is almost unheard of. It seems that more times than not, STEM employers are actively trying to recruit top talent and compensate them healthily, which is something that seems to be forgotten by many companies. I’m not saying that I should get paid as much as my computer engineer friend. His industry is probably more lucrative than mine. I’m also not saying that those people who use unpaid internships are evil, or even that they necessarily are deliberately bad people, but what they are doing is so clearly wrong and exploitative that it deserves to be stood up to. Yes, we are students. Yes, we are hunting for jobs. And yes, we deserve to be compensated appropriately while doing so.

Apathy toward homeless people a collective problem SEHAR SIDDIQUI Opinions columnist
M
ost mornings are the same: I get up 15 minutes later than I should have, scurry around getting ready, gulp down some cereal and run out the door. And everyday as I walk to class I see the same things: other students hustling to class, shiny iPhones (my own included), expensive Ray-Bans and designer clothes. As usual, I flit past the homeless people on Green Street, barely even acknowledging their existence. In fact, I try to avoid eye contact. Sometimes, I even dread walking past them because I’m guilty of acting like I don’t notice them. I feel a twinge of guilt, or I cringe a little on the inside, but as soon as I cross over to the Alma Mater, the scene suddenly calms. Since I was young, my parents told me to avoid interacting with “these people.� I remember taking trips to Chicago as a child and passing by homeless people on the streets. I always wondered why we never stopped to toss some change into their cups. They weren’t asking for much. As I grew older, I realized my parents were just doing what their
parents taught them, and I accepted it and started doing it as well. In high school, I’d go to Chicago with my friends and the same course of events would repeat. We’d pass by homeless people holding up signs and cups, and just skirt by them. It became second nature to ignore them. And then last year, that kind of changed. For some reason, my Muslim parents love Las Vegas, so we went over Thanksgiving break (a trip I wouldn’t recommend any 20-yearold to take with their parents, ever), and encountered, yet again, more homeless people. And something within me stirred. I can’t say I “woke up� because it wasn’t as if I had never noticed the problem before and had a sudden epiphany. It was always my fault for choosing to ignore it. But something shifted. I forced myself to stop ignoring the homeless people and tried to move away from thinking of them as “these people� or “them.� Despite my parents’ warnings, I went ahead and started giving money to whomever I saw sitting on the street. Before you think I’m trying to sing myself praises, realize that it took me 20 years to realize that it’s not hard to offer a little bit of change to someone in need — not necessarily a great intellectual feat. And it’s not like giving people

on the street money actually solves all their problems. But I do see merit in the fact that when you do give money to someone, it gives him or her hope that someone cares, and usually they feel grateful. It’s not so much the value that money carries with it that matters, but it’s the fact that someone is willing to give up money they earned while expecting nothing in return. Despite my sudden realization in Las Vegas, when I came back to Chicago I resorted back to my old ways. My “good deeds� seemed to be confined to the location they occurred. Unless a little boy was badgering my guilty conscience into buying some candy from him on Green Street, I wasn’t giving anyone else a second glance. That is until earlier this week when I was taking my usual path down Green and passed by multiple people asking for money. I guess the feelings I had in Las Vegas triggered, and after I had shamelessly passed two people I relented and dumped a handful of change into one lady’s plastic cup. Nothing about this made me feel good. This lady who was holding up a sign saying she was homeless smiled at me and called me “sweetie� and I could barely even look her in the eye. And when I think about why I feel guilty, it’s not necessarily because I have something shiny,
and she doesn’t. It has more to do with the fact that my apathy isn’t just mine. But rather that apathy toward homeless people appears to be a collective feeling — we’re all guilty of it. We don’t want to be that way, but when a problem gets too big and complex for us to understand, we’d rather ignore it. When a problem’s solution is hard to achieve or is something we have yet to figure out, we’d rather not take the time to solve it. Despite the fact that scraps of monetary aid here and there won’t put an end to homelessness, I still try to fish in my backpack for loose change when I can. For me, the simple interaction symbolizes moving away from a mind-set where we separate ourselves from what we don’t understand or don’t want to understand. And that is an imperative first step in eliminating the issue. We have to stop living like we are on two different planes of existence: the well-off and the homeless. After all, we have to remember we could have just as easily been on the streets if we didn’t get lucky. Our lives are constantly intersecting, whether it be on the streets of Chicago, Las Vegas or Green Street.

Major Lazer disappoints as headliner My main thought while watching Major Lazer on Saturday night: I could have done this at home. Well, I guess I couldn’t have. I don’t really have hundreds of friends to gather in a wide-open parking lot who would be willing to get too inebriated to function and then hump each other in a giant blob to loud music. But, as far as the performance went, I could’ve done that at home. After 40 minutes of stage setup, Diplo, Jillionaire and Walshy Fire came out onto the stage behind the High Dive at 10:30 p.m., hit play on their MacBook and then danced around. There were two dancers going wild on stage in bright outfits. Diplo shot confetti guns and threw little treats into the crowd. Walshy Fire led the crowd in activities, like asking everyone to get crazy or for all of the weed smokers to raise their hands (every hand that I saw went up). It was fun, but it seemed so strange to me that a festival dedicated to music — a festival that has been largely instrumental at times — would have its final headliner not really perform any music on stage. Later in the set, Diplo went up to the computer, put on white headphones and may have switched a few notches, but it never really seemed like he made any changes to the music people were listening to. It looked more like a way to occupy time while the audience grinded and moved to the music. Pygmalion actually flew in Major Lazer for the show. Jillionaire had performed in New York City on Friday night, and the group is scheduled to play in Germany on Wednesday. My question was: Would the crowd really have known the

Major Lazer headlines Pygmalion Music Festival on Saturday at the Highdive. Jillionaire pumps the crowd up throughout the performance. difference if they hadn’t been there at all? I don’t really think so. Don’t get me wrong: Major Lazer was fun. There were confetti guns, balloons, some sort of goodies passed out by Dip-
lo and lots of dancing. All the fans were smiling and having a good time. But the main part of a music festival is seeing bands perform live, and Major Lazer just didn’t do that.

Youth Lagoon performs on Saturday at the Highdive for Pygmalion Music Festival. Their unique sound had the crowd engaged throughout their performance.
Youth Lagoon’s performance electrifies I wouldn’t want to be Youth Lagoon’s keyboard. Trevor Powers, the 24-yearold indie musician who goes by the stage name “Youth Lagoon,” came out doing his best mad scientist impression, dressed in a white sweater that could easily double as a lab jacket. With shoulder-length and blond-streaked wiry dark hair covering his eyes, he punched, slapped and smacked the keyboard, as if the more he hit it, the better he would sound during his performance at Pygmalion on Saturday evening at the Highdive’s outdoor annex. At first, I was skeptical when he came out to screeches and metallic noises, moving his hips and legs like Elvis at the keyboard. It seemed as if he was both intimidated and uncomfortable
by being on stage. But, when he took the mic and walked to the front of the stage, he showed that he was in total control. His confident singing showed the audience that he owned both the stage and his music. His timidity, even his mouse-like features, seemed to fade. After the initial screeching, he went into a few masterfully performed songs, with short bursts of metallic noises in between pieces that weren’t the most pleasant. Overall, though, Youth Lagoon showed that he owned the stage, and the crowd seemed to love his performance, bobbing up and down and dancing to the beat. At 10:13, three minutes after their performance was scheduled to end, Youth Lagoon announced
he had one song left, but festival administrators told him he was done. He seemed upset, but went to the middle of the stage and said “kisses,” blowing a kiss to the audience. The crowd had a halfhearted attempt at a “one more song” chant but didn’t seem too upset that the performance was over, electrifying as it was. One contingent of fans even began a “Major Lazer” chant, showing they were ready for the night’s headliner. Following Youth Lagoon, Champaign Mayor Don Gerard capitalized on the energy, making an appearance on stage, expressing his excitement for the festival. “This is motherf---ing fun,” Gerard said.
Little crowd interaction at Vile’s show The defining moment of the Kurt Vile and the Violators’ performance came at the end of their set Friday night during Pygmalion Music Festival in downtown Urbana. The crowd for the group had dwindled to about one-fourth of the size it had been when it started. The band announced it would play one more song, a claim that wasn’t greeted with much of a response by the audience. Even with the end in sight, some festivalgoers decided they’d had enough. It’s not that Vile wasn’t talented — he most certainly was. It’s
not that he doesn’t have a large following — he’s got that, too. It’s just that the performance was, for lack of a better word, boring. The set was largely instrumental, and singing definitely took a backseat. The group struggled to hold the attention of the crowd after an electrifying performance by Dawes, its predecessor, which had left the audience excited and ready for an energetic performance. But the audience didn’t stay long after a few unenthusiastic songs started off the set. Even members of the audience who stayed weren’t paying attention.
People were standing around — many not even facing the stage — talking to their friends and drinking beer. The four-man band, three who looked identical with their chestlength, curly dark hair, didn’t really interact with the crowd. They stood above the crowd, playing their instruments, occasionally singing, but not really engaging the audience by asking them to raise their hands, clap or interact. Kurt Vile and the Violators were clearly passionate about their music, but their performance left me and much of the audience unimpressed.

Offense key to Illinois’ rout of Miami (Ohio) BY SEAN HAMMOND SENIOR WRITER
With fewer than 14 minutes on the clock in the second quarter, Miami (Ohio) trailed Illinois by just seven points Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Eight minutes later, the game was over. By the 5:19 mark, Illinois led 36-0. The Illini would go on to seal the deal on a 50-14 victory with little trouble, improving to 3-1 on the season. It was a record-setting day for Illinois on multiple accounts. Nathan Scheelhaase’s five touchdown passes were a career high. He threw for 278 yards on 19-for24 passing, and his day was done before the third quarter came to an end. Illinois’ 601 total yards of offense marked its fi rst 600yard game since 2007 and ranked ninth best in school history. The Illini were rolling from the get-go. After receiving the opening kickoff, Illinois drove 75 yards downfield to get on the board fi rst with Scheelhaase throwing a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Matt LaCosse. During that eight-minute stretch in the second quarter, Scheelhaase threw touchdowns to Evan Wilson , Josh Ferguson , Jon Davis and another to LaCosse. Scheelhaase threw an interception in the fi rst quarter, the lone smudge on an otherwise stellar stat sheet. “I told him (before the game), ‘I want you to be an NF L quarterback today,’� offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. “‘I want the accurate throws, I don’t want you running. I want you to sit back there and feel comfortable.’� Whether he looked like an N F L quarterback or not, Scheelhaase certainly appeared comfortable in the backfield. All five of his touchdown passes came in the fi rst
half, and Illinois’ 36 fi rst-half points were its most since 2001. Scheelhaase was businesslike in his approach, but it was Ferguson who wowed fans all game long, juking Redhawks defenders with ease. He totaled 148 yards, 71 of them on the ground with his receiving touchdown coming from 15 yards out — minutes after Wilson’s touchdown catch started the 29-point, eight-minute burst. “I just got around the block,� Ferguson said of his touchdown, “and it was just me and one guy. I had to beat him. I didn’t really think about it, I let my training take over and got by him.� The Miami offense, which had scored just two touchdowns all season coming into the game, was unable to fi nd the end zone until late in the third quarter. The Redhawks got on the board with a touchdown pass on fourth and goal with just over two minutes on the clock. Quarterback Austin Boucher hit wide receiver Rokeem Williams in the back of the end zone on a play that was reviewed by offi cials after cornerback Jaylen Dunlap knocked the ball from Williams’ hands. The ruling on the field was confi rmed as a touchdown, but with the game at 43-7, it was of little consequence. At its largest, the Illinois lead was 43-0. Miami’s 250 yards of total offense was the most it’s had all season. Boucher and quarterback Austin Gearing combined for 94 rushing yards. Together they completed only seven passes for 95 yards. Miami’s run-based option offense was ineffective against the Illini defense. Senior linebacker Jonathan Brown led the Illini with 9 tackles. Mason Monheim

Illini volleyball impresses State Farm Center crowd with 3-1 win over Iowa BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
The stage couldn’t have been any bigger for the Illinois volleyball’s conference opener against Iowa. In front of a crowd of 7,061 at State Farm Center, the second largest in school history, the Illini broke a four-match losing streak in a decisive 3-0 sweep of the Iowa, 25-19, 25-18, 25-21. Unfortunately for the Illini, they would be on the wrong end of a sweep the very next day in their return to Huff Hall, falling to No. 12 Nebraska 25-20, 25-14, 25-22. “Overall, it was nice to get a win,� head coach Kevin Hambly said after Friday’s match. “The team was hurting for confidence after last weekend. It was nice to win and win in three, win decisively, where we didn’t feel like we were going to lose at the end of sets.� The Illini utilized a strong serve game to take the Hawkeyes out of their rhythm and set up a balanced scoring attack. All six starters for Illinois had six or more kills, with junior outside hitter Liz McMahon leading the team with 12, followed by sophomore outside hitter Jocelynn

Hambly also hinted at further reliance on his freshman as the year goes on.
“We’ve got freshman making an impact before,� Hambly said. “Maddie (Mayers) is making an impact for us as a redshirt freshman. Strizak and Davis, I think they are going to have to make an impact for us. I saw some really good things out of Davis and Strizak tonight.�

Birks with nine. Juniors Anna Dorn and Morganne Criswell had eight and sophomore setter Alexis Viliunas had six on seven attempts for an .857 hitting percentage. The team also had eight aces, tying its season high. “We were streaky passing, had a couple streaks where we didn’t pass great,� Hambly said. “But for the most part we passed really well, we got in system, we got our middles involved, and that really helped free stuff up.� In a return to Huff Hall on Saturday, the Illini could not get anything going after a tightly contested fi rst set that included nine lead changes. A strong service game by the Cornhuskers, which included six aces, took the Illini out of their element, stifl ing them offensively. The Illini were held to just a .144 hitting percentage as a team while the Cornhuskers hit .255, led by Kadie Rolfzen and Kelsey Robinson, who combined for 24 kills and a .288 hitting percentage. Top recruit Michelle Strizak made her debut in orange and blue and accumulated five kills. “She knew she had to be ready tonight,� Hambly said. “She had
T
his past weekend saw special events galore from the Illinois Athletics department. It all started on Friday night when volleyball took on the Iowa Hawkeyes at 7 p.m. at State Farm Center. Soccer also faced Iowa at home on Friday and both teams came out with a win. Wasn’t such a banner weekend for the Hawkeyes, huh? In the second largest turnout for a volleyball match in Illinois history, the 7,061 Illini faithful made State Farm Center feel like home for a team coming off four consecutive losses. This was only the third time Illinois volleyball has played at State Farm Center in 39 years of being a varsity sport at the University. The last time was October of 2009 when No. 6 Minnesota came to town. Illinois upset the Gophers three sets to none in front of a record crowd of 7,632. Fifth-year head coach Kevin Hambly echoed the sentiment of the crowd and expressed his satisfaction with the support. “It was a great event,� he
said. “I’m a little surprised and excited by the crowd turnout.� Volleyball has perhaps one of the most loyal and consistent student fan sections at Illinois. The ‘Spike Squad’ showed up in full force, dressed head to toe in orange and ready to kick off conference play in style. The match began with Spike Squad’s famous newspaper stunt. Prior to announcing Illinois’ starting lineup, students hold and shake newspapers in front of their faces, effectively ignoring the opposing team. Throughout the match, fans standing on bleachers near the court — where men’s basketball’s Orange Krush normally resides — held blown up images of recognizable figures such as Ron Swanson, Abraham Lincoln and ‘Home Alone’s’ Macaulay Culkin. Talk about keeping strange company. Illinois volleyball is a pleasure to watch. The match was never really in doubt, but even so, the athletes kept up streams of constant encouragement after every point, whether it was Illinois’ or Iowa’s. After every kill, ace, block or dig the team would huddle and exchange congratulations and advice. It was immensely obvious that Illinois was enjoying the
feeling of winning — and not only winning, but dominating. It was a welcome relief after a disappointing couple of weeks. “We were ready for a win,� said veteran Liz McMahon. But in a moment of clarity, the junior acknowledged that “playing well gives us more confidence than wins and losses.� The very next day Illinois would lose to No. 12 Nebraska 3-0. The Cornhuskers shut down the Illini in their return to Huff Hall Saturday afternoon after Friday’s victory. It was Nebraska’s seventh consecutive win. Nebraska has beaten Illinois regularly and handily since it joined the Big Ten in 2011. Frustration seems to be a recurring theme with this 2013 team. Whether it’s getting frantic when it comes time for set point, or overthinking when it gets behind, the Illini sometimes seem like they could do with some settling down. “We didn’t come out fighting the same way and maybe focused on the negatives too much instead of focusing on getting back in it and taking advantage of those opportunities,� Hambly said. “I’m disappointed because I thought we could play better.� So maybe the loss stings, but if the Illini had played their best and still come up short,
would McMahon’s claim still hold? Would Illinois be more content with the loss? I don’t know. It never feels good to lose, but maybe it wouldn’t sting so much. Apart from Illinois volleyball, other sports held special events this past weekend. It was Dad’s Day on Saturday so campus was flooded with father-daughter and father-son duos heading to the football game — where Illinois effectively demolished an overmatched Miami (Ohio) team — and men and women’s basketball’s “Street Jam.� Street Jam was held at the corner of Green and Wright Saturday night to introduce the teams and coaches and get fans excited for the coming season. The athletes were dressed in army fatigues to represent the Seal Team training they were put through in the offseason. It was also a classy way to thank our troops and acknowledge the connection being forged between Illinois athletics and the military. The event was made up of trivia contests, fan involvement, 3-point shooting and a dunk contest to cap it all off. Predictably, fifth-year senior Joe Bertrand came out with the dunk contest crown. Finally, Illinois soccer held

FOOTBALL and Taylor Barton added eight apiece. Miami had been experimenting with different looks through its first three games, and defensive coordinator Tim Banks was a little unsure of what to expect. “We practiced wishbone offense for two weeks, and (Miami) didn’t run one snap of it,” he said. “We just played our base defense because we had to figure out what they were trying to do and how they were trying to do it. “I think as long as we stay within the system and play to our strengths, we’ll always give ourselves a chance.” With the win marking the third of the season for Illinois, head coach Tim Beckman’s team has already surpassed its win total from 2012.

eading into 2013, three wins seemed almost too much to ask. Maybe I’m just cynical, but even the most steadfast Illini fan would have been pleasantly surprised at the thought of a 3-1 record in the preconference, had you told them before the season. But it’s not just the record that’s given Champaign reason for optimism, it’s the way in which Illinois carried itself throughout the season thus far. Nobody believed in Illinois entering the year, and it took a couple games, it seems, for the team to become sure of itself. A frustratingly close win over Southern Illinois had fans thinking it was 2012 part II, but a statement win over Cincinnati changed things completely. Illinois followed its 2-0 start
BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER
Right from the opening kickoff against Miami (Ohio), running back Josh Ferguson was the focal point of the Illinois offense in a 50-14 win. The sophomore scatback recorded the first five touches on offense to start the game for the Illini — three rushes for 25 yards and two catches for 39. Whether he was lined up in the backfield or split out as a wide receiver in an “empty” five-wide receiver formation, the Illini and offensive coordinator Bill Cubit found different ways to get Ferguson the ball. “Josh is a guy where you sit there and say, ‘I got to get the ball to him,’” Cubit said. “We need him, we need D.Y.

ing and 78 receiving, all on just 16 touches. Backfield mate Donovonn Young had 11 carries for 80 yards in what was arguably his best performance this year. Still, though, this is Miami we’re talking about. Ferguson and Young will need to prove themselves on a bigger stage, and that opportunity comes next week. Illinois is now 3-1 and heads into conference play with its head held high. The Illini will face their first true road test in Lincoln, Neb., against the Cornhuskers, who had a bye week following a 3-1 start. As much as there is working against Illinois, this team feels alive for the first time in two years. Bo Pelini and Nebraska have had two weeks to prepare for this Illinois squad, which I would imagine is still tough to get a solid handle on given how much of a surprise the offensive renaissance has been. Illinois’ defense, meanwhile, allowed just 250 yards — its first time surrendering fewer than
400 — and 14 points to the Redhawks. As good as those numbers seem, they’re the best Miami has mustered this season. Fourteen points ties its season high and 250 yards is 11 better than its previous best. The defense simply needs to play better for Illinois to succeed in the Big Ten. This win is this win. You knew coming in you weren’t going to get a whole lot out of it, but you’re happy to be 3-1 if you’re Illinois. I would say Illinois fans couldn’t have asked for a much better nonconference season, other than perhaps shoring things up a little more against Southern. But you got the win there, you trounced a decent Cincinnati team, you fought hard against Washington, and you asserted your dominance against Miami. That’s all well and good, but it’s on to the next one. The Illini are going to compete in the Big Ten this year — not for the Big Ten just yet, but Illinois will not
be a pushover win for its conference foes. Illinois is a team playing above expectations. This is because its offense is dynamic and can advance the ball in a multitude of ways. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase has reemerged as a leader and one of the conference’s best offensive players. The defense is the weaker half. The linebackers are good — especially Jonathan Brown — the defensive line is so-so and the secondary is young. Special teams is an area of concern. Taylor Zalewski and Justin DuVernois have been very up-and-down kicking the ball. V’Angelo Bentley and Miles Osei are good return men. Illinois is 3-1 and worth watching, which is great news to an unsuspecting fan base. But now the real season begins. We’ll see if the Illini are up to the task.

with a hard-fought loss to a tough Washington team. If anything, the loss solidified Illinois as a team that is, at the very least, competitive. Illinois further validated itself with its performance against Miami (Ohio). A 36-0 first half — more specifically a 29-0 second quarter — put the game away, and cemented that this season would be better than last, record-wise. This win shouldn’t be a surprise, or a point of pride, as much as a relief. The Illini went into the game looking to blow out Miami and did just that. The second quarter blitzkrieg came after a ridiculous leaping grab by Evan Wilson was followed by an onside kick and 93-second drive. Josh Ferguson capped said drive by turning a swing pass into a highlight reel high-step touchdown from 15 yards out. Ferguson has become Illinois’ best playmaker, the one Bill Cubit will try to get in open space as much as possible. He accrued 148 total yards, 71 rush-

guys. They can’t come out and play 60, 70 plays — we’ll never last in the Big Ten.” Young and Ferguson have been splitting carries for most of the season; although, the production hasn’t always been there. Against FCS opponent Southern Illinois, the Illini rushed for just 49 yards — averaging 1.6 yards per carry as a team. In the past three contests, however, Illinois has topped 200 yards on the ground twice, with a season-high output of 289 yards Saturday against Miami. One thing working in the Illini’s favor against the Redhawks was a lot of three-down linemen alignments that Miami used defensively. “We made people miss, we ran people over,” Young said. “If you want to play us like that, we’re
going to run the ball against you.” Ferguson displayed the full arsenal of moves to slip by defenders and seemingly made multiple defenders miss on every touch. He utilized his patented spin move on a few occasions, but a variety of cuts, jukes and dekes gained extra yardage. On the 15-yard line, with his team holding a 15-point lead early in the second quarter, Ferguson came out of the backfield and swung into the flat. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase dropped back to pass and checked down to the running back, who picked up a block from Evan Wilson on the corner and accelerated into the open field. “It was a quick little screen,” Ferguson said. “I got around the

all in the first half. The numbers add to what is already a career year for the redshirt sophomore. In 10 games last season, Ferguson recorded 312 rushing yards and 251 yards receiving. This year, Ferguson has the most total yards and is near the top on the team in rushing and receiving yards. His 196 rushing yards is second only to Young’s 208 in addition to leading the team in both catches (12) and receiving yards (262). Ferguson’s increased efficiency and production in 2013, along with Cubit’s creativity calling plays, ensures that the running back will be a focal point not just this week, but every week.

block and I knew it was just me and that one guy. I just gave him ... something. Honestly I didn’t even think about what I was doing, I just did it.” That “something” turned out to be a high step for a moment’s hesitation to freeze a defender followed by a burst back inside and into the end zone. His score — a team-high third receiving touchdown for the season — pushed the lead to 22-0, part of a 15-0 run for the Illini in just a minute and 33 seconds. “After that touchdown, I just turned to him on the sidelines and said, ‘Wow,’” head coach Tim Beckman said. “The next thing you know, he hits that gear and he goes into the end zone.” Ferguson finished the game with 71 yards on eight carries and five catches for 77 yards —

We all know that, by dint of constant repetition, white can be made to appear black, good can get transformed into evil, and myth may take the place of reality. Israel, with roughly one-thousandth of the world's population and with a similar fraction of the territory of this planet, seems to engage a totally disproportionate attention of the print and broadcast media of the world. Unfortunately, much of what the media tell us — in reporting, editorializing in columns, and in analysis — are endlessly repeated myths.

Israel has returned the entire Gaza Strip All these myths (and others we shall talk about in a future issue) have poisoned the atmosphere for decades. The root cause of the never-ending conflict is the unwillingness of the Arabs (and not just the Palestinians) to accept the reality of Israel. What a pity that those of the Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens have lived and continue to live in poverty, misery and ignorance. They could have chosen to accept the proposed partition of the country in 1947, would now have had their state alongside Israel for over sixty years and could have lived in peace and prosperity. They could have kept hundreds of thousands of refugees in their homes and could have saved tens of thousands of lives. Peace will only come when the Arabs finally accept the reality of Israel.
