Wise discusses campus goals, improvements BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

Chancellor Phyllis Wise smiles while taking questions at the town-hall meeting address to faculty and staff Monday. During the speech, she outlined her working goals that are open to modification and change. “I’ve learned so much about the storied history of this great University,” she said.

Because of the high volume of complaints about bicycle accidents, University police said they will more strictly enforce state bicycle laws. “We have been actively issuing warning citations and some traffi c citations to offenders who put themselves at great personal risk,” said Capt. Skip Frost of the University Police Department. “But this is a public safety issue that we take very seriously, and people need to know that we are going to step up our enforcement.” Illinois bicycle laws require cyclists to follow the same rules of the road as vehicles when riding in the street. The laws also require cyclists to ride on roads

designated for biking by local ordinances. Bikes must have a front lamp with a white light visible from at least 500 feet away, as well as a red reflector when riding at night. However, Frost said cyclists are not aware of these regulations, especially the vehicle law. Frost said police officers are working to enforce the importance of recognizing the Illinois vehicle law. And it’s not just police offi cers who have been witnessing a lot of bicycle accidents. Alex Massey, sophomore in DGS, said that as a cyclist, he sees a lot of students disobeying the vehicle law on campus. “On occasion, I see cyclists

hancellor Phyllis Wise held a town-hall meeting Monday afternoon to dis-

cuss University goals and improvements with the campus community. Wise said one of those goals is to fi nd ways to break the barriers in terms of interdisciplinary teaching because there have been challenges when teaching across colleges. She said she hoped to further discuss this matter in the future. Also at the meeting, Wise presented a list of goals she wants the University to focus on this year. She said she hopes to empower faculty and staff, expand the University’s research portfolio, continue to become a more diverse community and improve the University’s agility, or speed of response to challenges. Anna Stenport, associate professor of Germanic languages and literature, said she was concerned with the agility of the University in terms of curriculum. She said she hoped to have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty members in various departments on planning a new curriculum, but doing so can prove difficult. “I am fi nding, as a faculty member, that it is very often a very long process to change curriculum and to redo courses, which seems to counter the idea of an agile University and an agile curriculum,” Stenport said. Wise also presented the fi ndings of the threemonth “listening and learning tour,” as she called it, which she took last fall to attain a better understanding of what the campus community wants for the future. “I’ve learned so much about the storied history of this great University, the cherished culture of collaboration, the potential that we have, the challenges that we face and the dreams that we all have to become even better,” Wise said. On the tour, Wise said she talked to individuals on campus, as well as external stakeholders, such as alumni and community leaders. She said she

‘Gaysian’ student talks about LGBT struggles BY GARRETT WILLIAMS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

JONATHAN DAVIS THE DAILY ILLINI

Kevin Ng addresses faculty, staff, and students as part of Quench, a lunchtime series co-sponsored by the LGBT Resource Center. He gave a talk called “Growing up Gaysian: Infusing My Identities.”

INSIDE

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center kicked off LGBT History Month with a presentation by a University student about growing up gay and Asian-American. Kevin Ng, intern at the LGBT Resource center and senior in AHS, gave the presentation “Kevin Ng: Growing Up Gaysian” as part of the center’s regular lunchtime series called Quench. The event was hosted by the LGBT Resource Center and the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations. Ng talked about his experiences in school and the difficulties and prejudices he faced being both gay and Asian-American. “Elementary school was the roughest time of my life,” he said during the presentation.

Ng said he has been the target of hate because of his sexuality and race. He said even his eighth-grade teacher bullied him about his sexual orientation. He highlighted the LGBT Resource Center as a place for students facing similar struggles. “There are people here who are great at talking to students,” he said. “There’s also a coming-out support group and counseling.” Leslie Morrow, director of the LGBT Resource Center and organizer of the event, said in an email that she wanted participants in the lunch series to learn about some of the obstacles faced by people who don’t fit with society’s norms. “My hope concerning today’s Quench in particular is that students will walk away after hearing one person’s story hopefully understanding,

RANKING FROM PAGE 1A 3.9. Brigham Young University was ranked No. 1, followed by Caltech. Glassdoor’s University Report Card also gives employees at universities the opportunity to send in feedback about their experience at the university. Kim Bielak , community coordinator at Glassdoor, said a university needs at least 20 employees to

send in reviews to be considered for a ranking. The review asks employees to rank the University overall, but it also gets into more specific categories, such as CEO ratings, Bielak said. She also said the approval rating for Chancellor Phyllis Wise was listed as not applicable because fewer than 10 reviews were sent into the website about her.

WISE FROM PAGE 1A asked them what they thought society’s most pressing issues were and how the University should position itself to handle these challenges. Among the most frequently mentioned were energy and the environment, economic development, social equality and cultural understanding, education, health and wellness, and information and technology.

Unlike driving a car, there are no required courses for cycling, he said, so the fundamental problem with the recent incidents is that many people are unaware of the laws. Frost said all students who are pedestrians or on bicycles need to be on the same page to be safe. “Our ultimate goal is always voluntary compliance,” he said. “We want everybody to comply with the law.”

Carina can be reached at lee713@dailyillini.com.

Wise said the purpose of this tour was to avoid asking a consulting fi rm to give the University a list of goals and ways to improve. Instead, she said this tour gave her the opportunity to listen more closely to the community. Hannah Lohman, freshman in Engineering, said she was happy to have the chance to hear the University’s future goals and growing concerns. “I wasn’t aware of everything the University has been doing to make

our education better,” she said. “It was really great to see (Wise), a leader on campus, present us with all the information.” Although the offi cial tour is over, Wise said she would continue to work toward improving the University. “For as long as I’m here, I’m going to be always listening and learning,” Wise said.

Concerns rise over Calif. endangered marine life BY JASON DEAREN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Plans to use an array of powerful air cannons in an undersea seismic study near a Central California nuclear power plant have federal and state officials juggling concerns over marine life with public safety. Pacifi c Gas & Electric Co. wants to use big air guns to emit strong sound waves into a large, near-shore area that includes parts of marine reserves to make three-dimensional maps of fault zones, some of which were discovered in 2008, near its Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. State law mandated that the company conduct extensive seismic studies. After the company decided that it would use the high-energy seismic imaging technology for the study, a state environmental impact analysis found the project was likely to have “unavoidable adverse effects” on marine life

and the environment. Biologists, environmental groups and fi shermen have opposed using the high-energy air guns, saying the blasts have potential to harm endangered whales, California sea otters and other creatures frequenting these waters. “I am very concerned about impacts to marine mammals, especially some of the large whales including blue, fi n, and humpback whales,” said John Calambokidis, an Olympia, Wash.-based marine biologist who has studied Pacific Ocean whales for decades. “There are many uncertainties on the impact of this type of operation on whales, especially since we have not seen this type of large air gun survey off California for a long time.” If the project gains approval from myriad agencies, scientists would tow up to 18 air guns behind a boat and blast loud sound into the water over a 530-square-nautical-mile area. Hundreds of sensors would be

placed strategically on the seafl oor, picking up the reverberations and allowing computers to create three-dimensional maps in technology similar to an ultrasound. The air guns and sensors would be dragged through an area that includes two state marine protected areas — Cambria and White Rock — and is adjacent to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Dozens of endangered and threatened species use these waters. A State Lands Commission environmental impact study found on Aug. 20 that there would be “unavoidable impacts” to marine life in the area during the San Luis Obispo testing. PG&E said it is spending $8 million on monitoring for the project, said Mark Krausse, a PG&E director. “If the ship is coming within 1.1 mile of any mammal, not just a marine or listed, but any mammal, we have to shut

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — His blood could boil. His lungs could overinflate. The vessels in his brain could burst. His eyes could hemorrhage. And, yes, he could break his neck while jumping from a mindboggling altitude of 23 miles. But the risk of a gruesome death has never stopped “Fearless Felix” Baumgartner in all his years of skydiving and skyscraper leaping, and it’s not about to now. Next Monday over New Mexico, he will attempt the highest, fastest free fall in history and try to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier. “So many unknowns,” Baumgartner says, “but we have solutions to survive.” The 43-year-old former military parachutist from Austria is hoping to reach 690 mph, or Mach 1, after leaping from his balloonhoisted capsule over the desert near Roswell. He will have only a pressurized suit and helmet for protection as he tries to go supersonic 65 years after Chuck Yeager, flying an experimental rocket plane, became the fi rst human to go faster than the speed of sound. Doctors, engineers and others on Baumgartner’s Red Bull-sponsored team have spent as much as five years studying the risks and believe they have done everything possible to bring him back

alive. He has tested out his suit and capsule in two dress rehearsals, jumping from 15 miles in March and 18 miles in July. Baumgartner will be more than three times higher than the cruising altitude of jetliners when he hops, bunny-style, out of the capsule and into a near-vacuum where there is barely any oxygen and less than 1 percent of the air pressure on Earth. If all goes well, he will reach the speed of sound in about half a minute at an altitude of around 100,000 feet. Then he will start to slow as the atmosphere gets denser, and after five minutes of free fall, he will pull his main parachute. The entire descent should last 15 to 20 minutes. He will be rigged with cameras that will provide a live broadcast of the jump via the Internet, meaning countless viewers could end up witnessing a horrific accident. Baumgartner is insistent on going live with his flight. “We want to share that with the world,” he says. “It’s like landing on the moon. Why was that live?” His team of experts — including the current record-holder from a half-century ago, Joe Kittinger, now 84 — will convene inside a NASA-style Mission Control in the wee hours Monday for the liftoff of the helium balloon at sunrise. “All the things that can happen are varying degrees of bad,” offers Baumgartner’s top medical man, Dr. Jonathan Clark, a former

Major environmental groups oppose the plan, saying adequate seismic research already has been done, and that too little is understood about potential longterm impacts of the air guns on the marine environment.

CHICAGO — Mandolin player and composer Chris Thile learned the hard way that when you get a call from the 312 area code this time of year, you should probably answer the phone. Thile is among 23 recipients of this year’s MacArthur Foundation “genius grants,” which are given in a secrecy-shrouded process. Winners have no idea they’ve been nominated for the $500,000 awards until they get the call, and nominators must remain anonymous. Thile ignored the incessant phone calls from the foundation at fi rst, thinking they were election-year robocalls. Then he received an ominous message: “Don’t tell anyone about this call.” His tour manager searched for the number online and told him, “It appears to be from something called the MacArthur Foundation.” It was a name Thile recognized. “I think I must have turned white,” he said. “I’ve never felt so internally warm. My heart was racing. All of a sudden, I felt very askew physically. I was trying to catch my breath. ... I thought, ‘Oh my God, did I win a MacArthur?’” The grants, paid over fi ve years, give recipients freedom to pursue a creative vision. Winners, who work in fields ranging from medicine and science to the arts and journalism, don’t have to report how they spend the money. Thile, who played with Nickel

Creek and is now touring with Punch Brothers, said he may use the grant to fund a chamber music project for a bluegrass quintet. Nor thwester n University historian Dylan C. Penningroth said he now can expand his search for court records of property owned by slaves in the pre-Civil War South. “This grant will make it possible for me to think big, to be more ambitious about the time period I cover and the questions I’m trying to answer, like, what’s the connection to the modern civil rights era?” Penningroth said. For other winners — there have been 873 so far, including this year’s recipients — the grants bring prestige, confi rmation and, in some cases, moments of profound reflection about life and fate. “It left me thinking about my childhood,” said DominicanAmerican author Junot Diaz , who wrote the Pulitzer-winning novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.” “It would never have dawned on me to think such a thing was possible for me,” Diaz said, reflecting on his early years in New Jersey “struggling with poverty, struggling with English. ... I came from a community that was about as hard-working as you can get and yet no one saw or recognized in any way our contributions or our genius. ... I have to wonder, but for circumstances, how many other kids that I came up with are more worthy of this fellowship than me?”

Campus renovations, updated classrooms costly yet necessary to remain on par with evolving, high educational standards

T

he University is in the midst of a 5-year plan, called the Instructional Space Improvement initiative, which will overhaul 125 classrooms and cost $70 million. The project follows the completion of Lincoln Hall renovations, which had a price tag of over $66 million, $60 million of which the state kicked into the project started in 2009. The difference is that Lincoln Hall was funded nearly 90 percent by the state, and the ISI is piecing together money from a variety of sources. Combining funds from a student maintenance fee, the Library/IT fee, Provost support and other departments and units, the ISI will renovate a variety of classroom elements including infrastructure — roofing, windows, seating, lab stations, flooring and painting — accessibility elements and instructional technology, such as overhead projectors and Internet access. The improvements will not only improve the overall aesthetics of the learning environment, they will help to facilitate a better education. While financial issues often justify putting aesthetic projects at the bottom of the priority list, a classroom of broken desks and even missing clocks can detract from the learning process. Through the ISI, the University is fulfilling its responsibility to maintain high educational standards, especially in regards to installing updated technology. The upgrades will help to secure a successful future of education; classrooms stuck in the ‘90s can’t aid an education of a new millenium — one which continues to evolve and improve. But, the cost of such renovations is high. Even one projector with installation and equipment can cost over $1,000 — and many students would agree that it is the instructor who makes the most significant impact on their educational experience, not necessarily the technology alone. Certainly, instructor quality should not be sacrificed in the name of improvements to the classroom itself. However, optimizing a student’s ability to stay focused and learn from that instructor involves creating an environment with, at the very least, a stable desk, basic technology and standard heating and air conditioning systems. In fact, the University should remain diligent even after the completion of the ISI. Renovations for an entire campus will take far longer because of the ever-present issue of funding, but they need to persist so that this institution can stay competitive and continue to attract the best professors and students. This does not mean every aspect of that renovated classroom needs to be luxurious or state-of-the-art, but rather that each instructor should be supplied with the updated tools to teach, and students should have a classroom on par with the education the University should be providing.

ords get thrown around a lot without any real thought to the meaning behind them. Socialist. Liberal. Fascist. Republican. Communist. Capitalist. Whoa. Capitalist? The idea of the “invisible hand of the free market,” an idea introduced by 18th-century Scottish social philosopher Adam Smith, manifested as a metaphor to describe the self-regulating nature of the marketplace. It has come to be a cry for the deregulation of the free market, a staple of “pure” capitalism. But Smith never mentions capitalism in “The Theory of Moral Sentiments.” We have come to view economic systems like those in the United States as pure capitalism and revolted against what is broadcast as pure socialism or pure communism. We even bristle at the idea that the slightest socialism might be creeping into our marketplace. (It’s part of the reason the new health care law is so highly debated.) Capitalism, defined as, “an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth” is lauded in the United States. Here, it is held up as the example of what a democratic society can do, as the pinnacle of freedom, being able to have complete control over “the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth.”

amuel L. Jackson stares straight into the camera, into the depths of YouTube viewers’ souls, and tells them to “Wake the ‘F’ Up.” It’s his political ad for President Barack Obama, and he hopes it’s too compelling for viewers to hit snooze. Jackson’s four-minute video rhymes gently through issues in education, like mounting student loans, and concerns within health care if Mitt Romney were to revamp Medicare for seniors. A little girl spends a restless night running about her house with Jackson in tow, begging her parents, older siblings and grandparents to reinvigorate their Democratic fervor and fulfill their patriotic duty: vote. Jackson waits patiently for little Suzy to finish her plea. Then he smacks the “average American voter” across the face with obscenities. Samuel L. Jackson is one of today’s poster children for endorsing a political candidate. And endorsement matters. While some would say that Jackson’s ad holds little power, few can say they haven’t at least heard of it, if not watched it themselves. Therein lies the true (some would say “sneaky”) power of endorsing something or someone: recognition. Not just

state-run, its military class is elevated above the rest of the population, contradicting the communist idea of a classless society.) These distinctions are important. Incredibly important. They illustrate the nuances that make economic systems so complex and resistant to the single labels “capitalism,” “communism” or “socialism.” The United States, with our capitalist economic system, already has aspects of communism and socialism. We operate government-run prisons. We provide health care for soldiers and the elderly. We require drivers to have car insurance. We pay taxes to support national infrastructure. We have copyright and patent laws that limit what we can produce. We have labor laws that limit how we can produce. The laws that we have now allow our market to work. They allow entrepreneurs to open new businesses, to expand and create jobs. They protect your great idea from getting stolen by me. They protect my land from getting taken by you. They create the opportunity for competition and creativity that would not happen if we relied solely on the concept of supply and demand. We don’t have a free-market economy because we need government intervention to make any concept of a free market possible. The system that exists now, as flawed as it is, is a blend of the better parts of a myriad of systems. Whether the balance is the one we need (whether we need more capitalism or more socialism or more regulation or more monopolies) will always be up for debate. But it is only when we can understand the accurate definitions of such complicated systems that such a debate can even begin.

From Oprah to Osmonds, stars bring voters casual recognition, but active acknowledgement of power, status, beauty, talent (the Kardashians excluded) and wealth, all embodied in a person you know and trust. Like a product? Great, you’ll probably buy it anyway. But advertisers know that you’ll like it even more if someone you recognize from a favorite sports team or recent movie likes the same thing. Credibility is helpful, but being recognized conveys a very generic sort of power that doesn’t necessarily require expertise in anything. No-name rocket scientists don’t sell basketball shoes, even if their research played a key role in designing said footwear. They need the celebrity endorsement. Likeable characters, such as celebrities, have branded their faces on household goods, hygiene products, clothing and sports equipment, and advertisers reap a noticeable profit. So why not candidates for office? When Oprah Winfrey endorsed thencandidate Obama in 2008, she garnered an estimated 1 million votes. And where the most wealthy woman in television went, many in the entertainment business followed: George Clooney, Neil Patrick Harris, Leonardo DiCaprio, Suze Orman, Beyoncé Knowles — the list goes on. They are all celebrities, most in the film industry, making a positive public statement in an effort to get Obama into the White House for one more term. While Hollywood political endorsements may be seen as disproportionate-

ly Democrat, there is a fair amount of star power shimmering on both sides of this year’s race for the presidency. Generally, Republican-endorsing celebs are found to have jobs or earned their living in the financial sector; like Romney, these people have money and lots of it. After this past Republican National Convention, absolutely everyone in America knew that Clint Eastwood was for Romney. But so are Gene Simmons, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and both Donny and Marie Osmond. Perhaps Donald Trump’s stance as a prominent Republican gave it away, or maybe it was Trump’s push for Obama’s birth certificate; either way, the masses are pretty savvy when it comes to pinning people in the public eye to political parties, especially when these figures are quick to brand themselves. Like a stylish company icon or catchy slogan, celebrity endorsements can be the golden ticket to selling the product. But instead of laundry detergent or the newest gum, it’s economic policy and national security. One would hope you are not skipping to voting booths just because a famous person told you to. But regardless of your stance on this upcoming election, one thing remains true: Celebrity endorsements are everywhere, and people wake the “F” up because of them. Obama has Steven Spielberg; Romney has Chuck Norris.

Is the US capitalist, socialist or both? SARAH FISCHER

ary Johnson is going to be a game-changer in the 2012 election, and threequarters of the nation doesn’t even know who he is. Johnson is the two-term governor from New Mexico and 2012 presidential candidate representing the Libertarian party. The socially liberal, fiscally conservative governor’s track record includes 750 vetoes of New Mexican bills, 14 tax cuts and a $1 billion surplus in New Mexico upon his departure, according to the candidate’s campaign website. He is for same-sex marriage and against the war on drugs. He has a big chance of playing spoiler for Mitt Romney. In an increasingly close election, the votes that Johnson would draw could alter the outcome of the election. After Romney announced his nomination, his campaign had already begun to try to restrict Johnson from getting on the ballot but to no avail. Johnson so far is on the ballot in 47 states — all except Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Michigan — and will likely get that number up to 48 by Election Day. The Romney campaign’s main concern is Johnson’s increasing numbers in New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa and Wisconsin. Public Policy Polling has Johnson at around 7 percent in New Hampshire and up to 8 percent in North Carolina. In New Mexico, he has 15 percent of the vote, taking the votes from Obama. This will make it an almost impossible task for Romney to win the battleground states with Johnson taking a small portion of his votes. And after a few political gaffes this month he is probably not happy with the success Johnson is having. When it is all over, Gary Johnson might be the guy who wins the election for Obama. In toss-up states where the percentages are neck and neck, the emergence of Republican Johnson voters is going to pose major trouble for Romney. The United States hasn’t had a third party represented in a televised debate since 1992 when Ross Perot faced off against Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. At the time both parties were welcoming of Perot, but since then, the feeling has changed and Gary Johnson is trying to alter that. He has filed an anti-trust lawsuit in federal court against the Commission on Federal Debates and both the Republican and Democratic parties. He argues that his exclusion violates the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by eliminating political competition. “Someone has to stand up and call this what it is — a rigged system designed entirely to protect and perpetuate the two-party duopoly,” said Ron Nielson, Johnson campaign spokesperson, in an interview with U.S. News. “That someone will be the Johnson campaign.” Johnson will likely not win the lawsuit, but he is drawing some attention for this move and also helping to establish more credibility for third parties. Think if he wins. He is currently polling at around 5 percent nationwide. He might have a chance to catch a wave and become the most successful third party of the modern era, even though the odds of him winning a single state are slim, let alone the entire election. We live in a country that is crippled by the two-party system. We watch as candidates get extreme in the primaries and then shift to the middle in the general election. We put up with the false promises from both sides of the aisle. The two-party system has stifled our ability to think critically. Barack Obama is not a Marxist, socialist, or hell-bent on turning America into a commune and Mitt Romney is not an elitist, corporate scum, suckling on the teat of big businesses. This type of unyielding red versus blue thinking needs to stop to make real progress. It is long overdue that a third-party candidate became a viable option rather than a punch line. Gary Johnson could be the guy to get that ball rolling, and for all of our sakes I hope so.

Socialism, on the other hand, is defined as “a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.” So what does that mean? It means that, as a whole, as a community, the people decide what to make, what to fund and how to divide up what is made and funded. Generally this is taken to mean that the government has control, and while that might operationally be the case, it is not in principle. The government stands for, acts for, the people. The community as a whole. Countries like Sweden and Norway are commonly defined as “socialist” because they have this strong central government. However, most of their industries are privately run, standing against the idea of a purely socialist society. Some countries, like Sri Lanka and Portugal, discuss socialism in their constitutions, but still others ascribe to various branches of socialism: democratic socialism, African socialism, Arab socialism. Then there are those countries that identify as socialist in their constitutions but are seen as communist by the rest of the world. How does that happen? Communism, which branches off socialism, is defined as “a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.” Here, then, is where the state — not the people — makes decisions for the country. Countries like China, Vietnam and Cuba officially describe themselves as communist, while other countries like North Korea are described externally as communist.

their website gets a lot of clicks ... and it builds.” These partnerships only solidify UPC’s name as a prominent hip-hop culture website. Recently, Gasic decided to relaunch UPC as more than just a music site. He added art, fashion, technology and even sports to better incorporate the entire hip-hop sphere. “It just appeals to a bigger fan base,” Kurland said. “It’s great to have a devoted fan base where we started with, which was mainly hip-hop music, but at the same time, if we can build a big fan base off people who like what we write about for clothing or for different types of music, then that’s fine. We want one big community.” This way, Gasic said, the website will add more layers to its genre and bring in the many students on campus who appreciate the different facets of the hip-hop domain. “Even from the beginning, Djordje already had a vision of expanding it into a brand, more of like a lifestyle brand,” said Mitesh Bhatt, junior in Business and contributing writer for UPC. “Even if people don’t see it as much, (Urbana-Champaign) does have a pretty strong culture ... so we really wanted to expose that and

just talk about the culture that we enjoy because from the get-go, hip-hop is more than just music; it’s more of a cultural statement.” UPC continues to update its website with posts about new albums, articles about new art and design features and links to videos and music downloads. From informal beginnings, Urbana Poppin’ Champaign has grown from a small local side project to an internationally known cultural site. “It’s kind of based here (in Urbana-Champaign), but it’s catering to a worldwide audience at the same time,” Gasic

said. “Having a lot of industry connections and good relationships also get the website into the right people’s hands, and the right people see it.” Nestled in the folds of the hip-hop society is Urbana Poppin’ Champaign. It is constantly growing and always displaying a unique culture and, above all, a lifestyle for the University’s campus, the nation and the world.

thinly sliced yellow onions and cooking them in olive oil with salt and pepper to caramelize them, which takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Once they are brown, he lets the onions cool. Then the homemade pizza dough is laid out and covered with the onions. After he adds the Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese, he mixes the gorgonzola cheese on top. The previously sautéed wild mushrooms are the last ingredient and he finishes with oregano on top. Not only is the restaurant known for their unique dishes but Timpone is also a wine collector and enjoys having an array of options for his customers. “We have an unbelievable wine list,” he said. He started Wine by the Glass in 1976 which allows customers to enjoy a variety of

wines rather than having to stick to one bottle. Timpone also prides his restaurant on being a part of the Fresh Fish Program which provides his restaurant with fresh fish weekly from all over to ensure the best quality in their dishes. With a menu that is consistently changing to add the element of variety and providing an appealing atmosphere to students, faculty and locals, Timpone’s is often the host to an array of parties and events for both families and recruiters. Timpone said, “We’re a chef driven restaurant and knowing the food is what we hang our hat on.”

There are over 300 restaurants in Champaign-Urbana, yet many students never venture past the borders of Campustown in search of a meal. “When we were students, we were mostly eating at chain restaurants. ... Our money was going to that, but not new experiences,” said Siva Nalla, who graduated from the University in 2010. Eight months ago, Dominic Hahn, who graduated from the University in 2011, brought Nalla in on a project that addresses this problem and introduces the community to unusual dining experiences. The result was Noshfolio, a website launched in September of this year by six University entrepreneurs. “My last year and a half in (Champaign-Urbana), I began to realize that there’s a lot more than these campus restaurants around us,” Hahn said. Noshfolio uses vibrant pictures, text and graphics to showcase the eclectic mix of culinary experiences available in the Champaign-Urbana area. Users can search for restaurants based

on location, type of cuisine and a number of other factors. Hahn said the inspiration for the website’s layout came from the magazine Monocle, which uses pictures and rich content to create a pleasant experience for readers. Hahn takes high-quality pictures of the restaurant and popular dishes, giving readers a view of the atmosphere at the eateries before customers step inside. Hahn said he didn’t want Noshfolio viewers to be bombarded with conflicting reviews like the ones on other sites such as Urbanspoon and Yelp. “There’s all this information around us today,” Hahn said. “There were all these reviews, and I would get irritated at reading everything, not sure if I wanted to try a place or not.” Instead, Noshfolio is a tool to let business owners share their story. “We’re more than a menu,” Nalla said. “(We want to) present a positive atmosphere for local businesses and let the customer decide if they like the atmosphere. ... Every business has its unique identity, and (customers) love that they can see what it is before they go.” Noshfolio does allow for some user feedback, allowing people

to rate certain restaurants and individual dishes. With a database of over 70 local restaurants and counting, Noshfolio regularly introduces its users to new options. “Just found your site,” wrote a user on Noshfolio’s Facebook page. “I have lived in the area since 1963, but still saw businesses with which I was not familiar.” Brittney Henson, senior in LAS, also used Noshfolio to find the Mexican restaurant El Toro in Champaign. “(Noshfolio) focuses more on if you go to sit down,” Henson said. “So it will still list whether a restaurant will do delivery or takeout, but it also talks about if a restaurant will serve alcoholic drinks or if you can have private parties. It gives a background description of the restaurant ... which I wouldn’t know if I was just ordering food online.” Henson recommended Noshfolio to people who want to venture off campus to experience everything else C-U has to offer. “If you want to go out with friends, or go on a date night, this is the perfect website,” she said.

Studying abroad enhanced by old technology, lack of iPhone EMILY HARNDEN Features columnist

efore I left for Denmark last semester, my sister bought me a watch with two faces: one set for Central time and the other seven hours ahead for Copenhagen. Though practical in theory, in practice I still ended up calling her half a dozen times at 3 a.m. gushing with stories, only to be met with her monotone response of “Sleep. I want sleep. Call you tomorrow.” Keeping in touch with those at home while I was away was a lot more difficult than I initially anticipated. Not only was I separated by multiple time zones, but I also faced a big adjustment when it came to access to 24/7 technology (as in I didn’t have it). With Internet spotty at best, Skype calls were often cut short and never quite as clear as I wanted them to be. In the end I relied on my cell phone plan a lot more than I imagined I would. While abroad I opted for a PicCell plan recommended by my program. PicCell Wireless is

a company that specializes in international communication for customers who need to rent a phone temporarily. It provides a cheap way to stay connected to home. But be forewarned: this is not your average iPhone. PicCells are flip phones that look about a decade old. They enable customers to receive calls from the U.S. for free and only allow texting and calling to those in your same country with your country’s SIM card (i.e. my mom could call me for free and I could still text my Danish friends for free). Yet, before you let an elitist iPhone attitude dismiss the potential of a PicCell for travels abroad, hear me out. I never regretted this communication choice. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I still use and operate a LG flip phone circa 2009, but let me continue. When you’re studying abroad it’s okay to fall off the grid, so to speak — it’s kind of the point. Though those first few days you may feel isolated and scared and want to call Mom every second something unexpected happens — well, tough love — she’s most likely asleep. Ultimately choosing a phone

plan that limits your screentime is going to be make your study abroad experience that much more enriching. Though I can’t argue against the convenience of having a friend with an iPhone when you’re in need of directions, and the movie starts in 20 minutes and you’ve wondered into a neighborhood you’ve never been to, I will say in the long run, you’re meant to get a little lost. If you’re glued to your phone, simply put, you aren’t going to experience what’s off the screen and on the streets as much as you should. Yet, if you’re as dependent on your iPhone as you are on, say a limb, then don’t worry there are international plans that make the transition seamless through your normal carrier’s (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) world package — but be aware of the price tag. International roaming isn’t cheap, and just think, wouldn’t you rather put your money toward a spontaneous trip to Budapest than toward a phone bill? That’s what my mother would call perspective.

aymond Timpone grew up learning to make pizza at his family’s restaurant. Now, he’s bringing a little bit of Italy to the streets of Urbana at the local restaurant Timpone’s located on 710 S. Goodwin Ave. Timpone said the restaurant business has always been in the family. “My parents brought pizza to U of I in 1947 with their fi rst restaurant on 6th Street in Champaign, and after that had a restaurant called Thunderbird on Daniel,” he said.

Timpone’s menu consists of an array of Italian cuisine from gourmet pizzas and pastas to fresh meats and pastries. All of their food is homemade with fresh ingredients and they always try to opt for organic. “We’re a neighborhood restaurant serving food that is seasonal and locally grown when possible,” Timpone said. Growing up in Urbana, Timpone has had a variety of experiences in the restaurant business from his family’s numerous restaurants to the Jolly Roger Jr. in Champaign where he was exposed to different

cooking techniques. He also studied culinary arts in Italy and California, where he became an accredited chef, which influenced him to always search for prime ingredients for his unique entrées. “Farm to table is an important part of Timpone’s and we use a lot of organic and local foods,” he said, ensuring that his customers receive top quality meals. The restaurant itself was opened in 1986 and has been successful ever since.

Urbana Poppin’ Champaign reflects hip-hop lifestyle BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER

At one click, you’re immediately transported underground, to the depths of a vacant subway — the archetypal metropolitan atmosphere. In a way, this background is representative of the urban, underground feel of Urbana Poppin’ Champaign, a locally based, internationally known hiphop lifestyle website. Upc.fm, previously called UrbanaPoppinChampaign.com, is a sleek, refi ned website with

a concrete tunnel backdrop and modern design elements. It is devoted to exhibiting new music, art, fashion and technology to its readers. Djordje Gasic, UPC’s creator, has nurtured it from its humble beginnings as a mere music blog. “I started it my incoming freshman year — that summer, basically, when I knew I was coming to Illinois,” said Gasic, now a junior in LAS and editor-in-chief of UPC. “I’ve been big on music for a long time ... and because I

was going out of state (for college), I wanted to be able to keep in touch with my friends back home ... and keep them updated.” This side project began to snowball into a broad online community, gaining momentum mainly through word-of-mouth. “That’s kind of an interesting story,” said Brad Williams, junior in LAS and contributing author of UPC. “I actually met Djordje on my dorm floor freshman year, and I at that point in time was really getting into hip-hop. He told me

about his website, which basically at the time wasn’t really a website. It was more of a platform for him to show music (he was) looking into.” In the beginning, Gasic would tell his friends about UPC, encouraging them to take a look. He was born in Serbia and came to the U.S. when he was 2 or 3 years old. He has circles of family and friends in Amsterdam, London and New York. He travels to Europe often to visit and gives them updates about his website.

“It started to get a lot more traffic, I guess, and then people started fi nding out about it,” Gasic said. “I got emails from people asking if they could join or contribute, so then I managed to set up some nice interviews ... every time an artist would come into town and have a show here.” The site began to encompass many local artists and eventually other regional and national artists. UPC uses several social media sites to get its name out: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr

and Soundcloud, to name just a handful. “The biggest push was probably social media. We definitely say things on Facebook and Twitter,” said Evan Kurland, sophomore in Media and contributing author at UPC. “Also, we’ve partnered with the prominent hip-hop website RapGenius, which breaks out rap lyrics.

Special Olympics Krush Kamp hosts 100 athletes BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER

Illinois shooting guard D.J. Richardson toed the 3-point line to begin a game of knockout at the Special Olympics Krush Kamp 2012 on Sunday, effortlessly releasing his smooth jump shot — just as he would in a contentious Big Ten matchup against Indiana. The jump shot clanged off the back rim, and before Richardson could even attempt a putback, another jump shot sailed through the air at Ubben Complex, swishing through the net and eliminating the senior guard. Matt Garland, a Special Olympics athlete clad in a white-andblue arm sleeve and a swagger

normally found on playground courts, was the knockout culprit. Richardson’s teammates — Brandon Paul, Joe Bertrand and freshman walk-on Mike LaTulip — mobbed Garland after the shot and made sure Richardson overheard an onslaught of trash talk for the defeat. “It was amazing,” Garland said of his gutsy knockout shot. “I don’t know. It just went in.” These playful interactions between the Special Olympic athletes and the Illinois men’s basketball team spoke to the core of the annual event hosted by Orange Krush. Over 100 Special Olympic athletes attended the Kamp, spending nearly 10 minutes at each skills station,

learning various basketball drills under the tutelage of the Illini roster. Groups also visited the weight room and tried on Illinois jerseys within the locker room. Preempting the Krush Kamp was a short introduction of Orange Krush and each player on the basketball roster, emceed by men’s basketball head coach John Groce. The roar of applause that greeted each player introduction was not lost on the perceptive coach. “It’s that sense of responsibility you have to have such a special opportunity you have at the University of Illinois,” Groce said. “It’s not a birthright. It’s a privilege. It doesn’t take very long to figure out how fanatical

Krush card included a set of long-term goals for the season, including lofty ones like “Beat Indiana!!” and “Win the Big Ten Conference.” Krush gamely crossed off one item on the list already: “Win Over Illini Nation,” a sentiment that might ring true in Krush but hardly throughout the rest of the fanbase after a bitter 17-15 record last season. The Special Olympics crowd was certainly won over by the team on Sunday, shuttling between awe in the presence of their basketball idols and laughter. Paul’s station, in particular, seemed to monopolize the fun, with the senior guard garnering laughs at goofy shots and cheers when he dunked.

people are about the basketball program.” Groce played a key role in keeping the Krush Kamp going during a new coaching regime, said Orange Krush Vice President McKennon Biers and Krush Chair Preston Brown. Shortly after being named head coach, Groce sat down with Krush brass to discuss ways to provide an “impact” in the community. In turn, Orange Krush designed a new feature on the Krush cards, which are given out to the students prior to home games. The new feature is called the “Grocery List” with a tally of items the head coach is looking for in the upcoming game. This special edition of the

“I’m just throwing a lot of creativity in there,” Paul said. “They support us and tell us that they watch our games. It’s humbling.” And don’t forget our sharpshooter Garland. He made a convincing case for having the best time at the gym, and he wasn’t letting Richardson forget his earlier triumphant victory. “Hey, D.J.!” Garland yelled from across the gym, putting his arms straight up in defiance. “He’s still looking over at me 15 minutes after he made that shot,” Richardson said. “He came prepared.”

Illinois’ Mason Monheim tackles Penn State’s Bill Belton on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Monheim, a true freshman, lead the team in tackles in the 35-7 loss.

Illini defense sparked by true freshman Monheim BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Lost in the talk of Illinois’ 35-7 loss against Penn State was the performance of linebacker Mason Monheim. The true freshman from Orrville, Ohio, has taken advantage of extended playing time due to injuries to teammates like sophomore Houston Bates. Monheim was all over the field Saturday, with a team-high 11 tackles, a career best, and a forced

fumble. His performance earned him Big Ten Freshman of the Week. He played most of the game alongside Mike Svetina, another freshman linebacker, replacing injured linebacker Jonathan Brown. “I was proud they played hard, and I was proud of the way they took the challenge of coming in and playing as true freshman,” head coach Tim Beckman said. Monheim leads all Big

Ten freshmen in tackles, 2.5 for a loss, one sack and an interception. He has two forced fumbles, tying for the Big Ten lead. When Beckman was at Toledo, he recruited Monheim out of Orrville High School and spoke proudly about him. “I knew Mason was a fine football player when we looked at him, really two football seasons ago, back in high school,” Beckman said. “I knew he was com-

petitive. He comes from an outstanding program, and I knew that he had the ability to play. Just mentally, how quick can you grow up being an 18-, 19-yearold man and coming in here playing Big Ten football?” Monheim got his first career start against Charleston Southern and returned an interception for a touchdown. Since then, he’s been rewarded with more playing time. And he can expect that to

continue even when the regular starters return.

Moving forward A very different Tim Beckman addressed the media Monday during his regular press conference. Gone was his talk of the Illini’s goal of playing in the Big Ten championship. Last week, Beckman talked

Beltran moves to 3rd place in all-time digs BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER

Illinois libero Jennifer Beltran continues to move up the program’s digs chart. During the final set of the Illini’s four-set victory against Indiana, Beltran notched her 1,394th career dig, moving her into third place all time at Illinois. The junior was expectedly nonchalant about the feat when informed of it after the match. “Honestly, I don’t really keep track of that,” she said after passing former Illini Mary Coleman. “I mean it’s cool, it’s nice. But I’m just out here trying to do what I can for my team.” Coleman is married to Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly, who said he would give his wife a “bit of a hard time” when he talked with her later. “Jen is a brilliant defensive player, and she’s done a great job for us the last two years,” Hambly said. “We’ve got a lot of season left. I think that career mark of digs, I think she’ll put that away as long as she stays healthy.” Beltran already holds the two

highest single-season dig records for Illinois with 623 and 571 in 2010 and 2011, respectively. With her senior season still ahead of her, she’s on pace to pass current Illinois record holder Ashley Edinger’s mark of 1,921 digs before she graduates.

Birks continues to improve Beltran and the Illini’s improvements in the passing game also helped leading attacker Jocelynn Birks.

he first time I witnessed Penn State volleyball was on Sept. 26, 2009, during my debut season as a volleyball beat reporter for The Daily Illini. Penn State was a twotime defending national champion back then, running on a 77-match winning streak. The Nittany Lions were phenomenal. The Illini didn’t have a chance against the height and power of superstars Blair Brown and Arielle Wilson. A personal obsession was born during that moment — a burning desire to know everything about Penn State volleyball and what made the program so phenomenal. The unbeatable program was beyond anything I ever imagined. It was a brilliant showcase of strength, excellence and teamwork demonstrated not only by the players’ success, but by their attitude, intensity and ability to insert fear into their opponents eyes. My dream was for Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly to lead the Illini to surpass the greatness of Penn State volleyball. I started watching Penn State games all the time after that, wrestling with the conflicted emotions of wanting the power house to crumble and wanting a Big Ten team to win it all. I rushed home from vacation in winter of ‘09 to watch the Nittany Lions win their third straight title, wishing that Illinois was in that position. “I’m going to watch them lose one day,” I told my dad after the game. “One day.” That day came the following season, Sept. 24, 2010, what I now call Christmas in September. The Penn State winning streak had been snapped by Stanford in a five-set battle two weeks before but the Nittany Lions still had a 65-match Big Ten winning streak. Huff Hall was packed for the event, which Illinois eventually won 17-15 in the fifth set in what was the most exhilarating match I ever covered as a sports reporter. The moment was huge for me because Big Ten volleyball was no longer controlled by the Nittany Lions. Penn State still won the national title in 2011, which pleased me because the victory proved that a team doesn’t have to be perfect to win it all. The Illini beat the Nittany Lions both times last season, which was Penn State’s worst season in a decade. With an extremely young roster, the Nittany Lions went 25-8 and lost in the Sweet 16 to UCLA, which went on to defeat Illinois for the national title. Looking back, I’d call that a pretty impressive season. I’m ashamed to admit that I turned my back on Penn State volleyball. Maybe because I was busy, maybe because I was a

CHARLES CHERNEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose, left, speaks during a news conference Monday in Deerfield, Ill. Rose said he expects to be a better player when he returns from injury later this season.

Rose expects to see improvement despite injury BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Derrick Rose isn’t sure he’ll be the same player once he returns from his knee surgery. He thinks he might be better. The superstar point guard’s recovery remains the biggest issue hanging over the Chicago Bulls, particularly after they announced a four-year contract extension for coach Tom Thibodeau on Monday. Rose is expected to miss a big chunk of the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee late in a playoff-opening win over the Philadelphia 76ers, an injury that sent the top-seeded Bulls staggering toward a first-round exit.

FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B about a new start for the Illini as Big Ten play kicked off. Beckman now spoke about approaching the season one game at a time and trying to refocus the Illini on the task directly in front of them. This week, he again called it a fresh start for Illinois after the team met Sunday night to discuss how it plans to move forward and fix the problems that have caused the Illini to lose three of the last four games.

“I’m going to be a better player, but who knows in what area?” Rose said at the team’s media day session. “My legs have never been this strong before. My upper body has never been this strong before. My core has never been this strong before. I’m just going to see how far this takes me.” The strides he’s made since his surgery are encouraging, but his return date remains up in the air. How soon after that until he’s back to his old MVP form remains to be seen, too. He and the Bulls aren’t revealing any specific timetables, other than they hope to have him back at some point this season. Rose is

curious to see what he can do once that time comes. “I can’t wait to get back on the court to see what I’m going to do,” he said. “I don’t know how I’m going to play. I don’t know what’s going to be new about my game. I know it’s just going to be exciting for everyone to see.” General manager Gar Forman said he’s never seen a player approach rehab the way Rose has. Even so, he’s still a long way from returning, and the Bulls are going to take a cautious approach. “Let’s not forget, he’s got a long way to go,” Forman said. “He remains focused, committed to what he’s doing. There haven’t been any setbacks. That’s why we

say he’s on schedule, but as far as the future is concerned, we’re taking this process step by step. Up to this step, he’s right where we want him to be.” Rose realizes he’ll have to convince the Bulls’ doctors and trainers once he feels he’s ready to return. His next big hurdle on the court will come in about two weeks. That’s when he’ll start making abrupt changes in direction. “Cutting is the hardest thing in the world right now to do,” he said. “I’m scared of it.” Now, the team has a different look, with its franchise player sidelined and most of the so-called “bench mob” gone. The Bulls

brought in veteran Kirk Hinrich for a second stint to run the point with Rose gone and likely move into a backup role once he returns, but for now, outside expectations aren’t particularly high. “Our goals are going to stay the same, and that’s to win a championship,” Rose said. “You never know how we’re going to play. With basketball, you can have all the greatest players, but you have to play as a team to win. The team that won it last year, Miami, they built that team where they didn’t have all the best players. They had players that knew their role. They play hard, did what they had to do to win, and that’s what we need to do.”

“The last two weeks have been real, real tough. There’s no question about it,” Beckman said. “Our intentions are to get better and then we’re taking this season as a one-game season.” Beckman said the Illini were dominated by a physical Penn State team who ran the ball for 212 yards. Maintaining team morale will be important, especially after Illinois dropped its fi nal six regular season games last year. “As a defense, we thought we were going to come into this year as one of the top defenses

in the country,” defensive end Tim Kynard said, before correcting himself and adding that Illinois still believes it. “I know we’re in a transition period, but it’s almost the same system. The whole team, the coaches, we just have to start believing and buying in together to get this thing turned around.”

games this season, mostly as a relief to defensive tackle Akeem Spence. Linebacker Jonathan Brown is the latest addition to the injury list; he played sparingly on Saturday before coming out of the game with what appeared to be a leg injury. “As the game progressed ... you could see that he just wasn’t Jonathan Brown,” Beckman said. The Illini benefitted from the return of defensive back Supo Sanni , who had 10 tackles, and quarterback Nathan Scheel-

haase, who carried the ball 11 times. Scheelhaase was able to escape the pocket and extend other plays on offense, saying he felt as healthy as he was Week One. “Watching that fi lm, it was good to see the old me come back to life,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll have as much confidence as I’ve ever had walking into this next game, just having my legs back under me in this next game.”

Injury update Sophomore defensive tackle Jake Howe is out for the season after breaking his arm. He played sparingly in all five

fair weather fan, but probably because of the drama that hit Penn State last fall. The conversation at the football game last weekend was focused around the IllinoisPenn State recruiting drama. As expected, multiple references were made to “building” and “coming back together,” from Penn State players and coaches. It made me realize that Penn State volleyball is still chugging along — it is currently ranked No. 1 and set to face No. 21 Illinois this Saturday night at Huff Hall. It’s simply an unfortunate coincidence that the volleyball team’s worst season coincided with the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State. Penn State volleyball doesn’t have the notoriety or regard of football, but the program has an unbelievable history of success. It has always been underregarded due to the lack of popularity of women’s volleyball and now thanks to the scandalsmeared image of Penn State athletics, has lost even more respect simply by association. There are no words to adequately describe the damage those unthinkable acts left on Penn State as a whole. Volleyball had nothing to do with that drama but was nonetheless affected as was the entire name of Penn State athletics. I talked to Penn State’s head coach Russ Rose three different times on the telephone during my two-year tenure of covering the Illinois women’s volleyball team from 200910. The conversations were relaxed, with Rose cracking jokes about the weather and how he didn’t get accepted to Illinois back in the day (he graduated from George Williams College in 1975). Rose is a humble man, even though in the span of his 33-year career, he led the Nittany Lions to five national championships, 31 NCAA tournament appearances and 14 Big Ten titles. He always credited the strength of the program to the university and everything it provided. He was happy to contribute to the Penn State culture. He always maintained that Penn State’s winning streaks were separate streaks and separate teams. “Our winning tradition just adds to the strength of this university,” Rose told me in September of 2010. “We just want to keep bringing quality people through the program and keep contributing to that culture.” I talked to Rose again Monday morning and the conversation was different than before. There was no small talk, no jokes were cracked and we simply got down to business. He was uncomfortable talking about the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky incident, though he couldn’t deny that it hit his program. “It’s been a challenge for a lot of people,” Rose said. “We try not to let that impact us. We are the women’s volleyball program and we are here to be the best program we can possibly be.” He’s not necessarily trying to single-handedly rebuild Penn State’s image, but doing what he’s always done: coach women’s volleyball, with a gruff yet friendly persona. “People do different things in times of trouble,” Rose said. “Some people hide and some stand up. I coach women’s volleyball, that’s what I’m paid to do here.” Maybe the drama has taken its toll on Rose. Maybe he was just tired during our Monday morning conversation. Maybe during my time as a columnist my interviewing skills dulled down. I’ll never really know. Maybe this weekend I’ll overcome my celebrity fear and actually introduce myself to Rose. Maybe Illinois will sweep Penn State. Maybe Penn State will sweep Illinois. Maybe it will be a five-set battle. There’s only one fact I’m sure of: Penn State volleyball is sure to put on a great show Saturday night. Because they are Penn State.
