Oooh Wee Sweet Tea gives back BY TAYLOR HOWARD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
SABRINA YAN THE DAILY ILLINI
Leeandre Mahomes, freshman in LAS and founder of the Chicago-based tea company, runs Oooh Wee Sweet Tea on the second floor of Mia Za’s.
Leeandre Mahomes, freshman in LAS, is balancing more than school work this semester. He opened his Oooh Wee Sweet Tea business, located on the upstairs level of Mia Za’s, on Jan. 16, as a way to give back to the black community. “I am a firm believer in black ownership,” Mahomes said. “This could create more opportunities for black people.” Oooh Wee Sweet Tea is an organic sweet tea company originally founded by Mark Walker in Chicago in 2014. Walker sells his tea
by the cup at pop-up tea stands in select Chicago restaurants, including Morrison’s Soul Food and Harold’s Chicken. It’s also where Andrew McGowan, freshman in AHS and Mahomes employee, first tasted the tea. “The tea is gluten free, caffeine free and it has no artificial sweetener,” Mahomes said. “It is a good plus, because not only is it delicious, but it is healthy.” Simone Johnson, freshman in Business, said that the tea business is giving back to the black community on campus. “Just seeing someone who is

Diane Marlin proved victorious in the Urbana mayoral race against Rex Bradfield on Tuesday. She accumulated 86 percent of the vote in all 23 precincts, according to the Champaign County clerk’s office. A total of 428 votes were cast on campus. As mayor, Marlin said she’ll work for a more effective government, hospital property tax exemptions, economic development, safe neighborhoods and engaged citizens. “I have several goals,” Marlin said. “One is to fill the vacant city administrator position. It’s been vacant for about 10 years, and it’s very important for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the city.” The city administrator would have the qualifications and experience of a city manager. They would be important in implementing the policies passed by the council. The city administrator would also be in charge of Urbana’s city employees, roughly 250 people, and $55 million budget. “Cities these days are complicated operations, and even in communities like Urbana with a mayor-council form of government,

Some University students receive more printing cost breaks than others; however, several colleges on campus are campaigning for equal printing rates campuswide. “We in (the College of) Media have started conversations a couple of years ago with some of the other colleges about how to share some printing infrastructure,” said Mike Bohlmann, chief digital officer of the College of Media, “So it’ll be easier to run things because you have some commonalities between the colleges.” Bohlmann said that the longterm goal is for students to pay the same for black-and-white printing and share the same billing process all over campus. Although no students have free printing on campus, the rate of printing can vary by major and printing location. Many majors on campus pay a tuition differential, meaning certain majors might have to pay more than others. Part of the extra tuition is used to provide a free printing quota for the students. Er ic Meyer, associ ate professor in the College of Media, said every student has some degree of free printing, depending on the classes they take. “Each class has a different number (of pages) that is based on actual experiments on how much somebody might need,” he said. The system used for printing will also log the items printed to ensure nobody is abusing the printing privileges. He said doing so will ensure availability for students in need of printing for their curriculum. “If we just have labs that have open printing in them and everybody can walk in and do

anything, before you know it, these (fraternity) brothers are going to be in there printing their party invitations for free and then it won’t be available for the kids who need it,” Meyer said. In an email, Bohlmann said that for the College of Media, jour na lism students a nd advertising students have a quota of $11 because they are paying a tuition differential. Other students in the college have $7.70 and non-media students have $3.30. While most students on campus print through a printing system called Papercut, engineering students can do their printing through the Engineering Work Station labs, which have 100 locations on campus. At these labs, they receive a printing quota, the fee of which is included in their tuition differentials. According to Bill Bell, executive director of marketing a nd c om mu n ic at ions in Engineering, the college currently provides engineering students with a quota of 300 pages for $24 for freshmen and sophomores, 400 pages for $32 for juniors and 500 pages for $40 for seniors. Steven Harris, a freshman in Engineering, said that he prefers having a quota so that he doesn’t have to worry about paying each time. “I don’t have to worry about ‘this assignment is coming up, do I have enough money in my student account to pay for it?’” Harris said. Engineering students are also given the option to purchase 100 additional pages of printing for eight dollars. This means that engineering students pay two cents less for each page of printing compared to students from other majors. The normal rate of printing is 10 cents per page. Jenna Kurtzweil, sophomore in LAS, said she has a lot of required printing for her course curriculum. As an English major, she is not offered any deal on

Snow falls on Foellinger Auditorium on Dec. 4. The University’s winter term, which began as a pilot program in 2014, is now official. The term begins on Dec. 15,2017 and ends on Jan. 13, 2018.
University makes winter session an official term BY LUKE COOPER AND SABRINA YAN STAFF WRITERS
The Academic Senate passed a proposal on April 3 to establish the University’s winter session as an officially recognized academic term, effective in the 2017-2018 academic year. The winter term will begin on Friday, Dec. 15, after the fall semester of 2017. The term will end on Saturday, Jan. 13, before the spring semester of 2018 begins. Student registration for the term is expected to open up in November. According to the proposal, the term will be “an option for students who cannot get a seat in the course during regular semesters because of its high enrollment; or for those who are considering a double major, a summer internship, and/or wish to shorten their time-todegree completion.”
“We want to benefit students in their studies, so they can finish the requirements on their degrees, or even minors more efficiently,” Frank Liu, business administration professor and sponsor of the proposal, previously told The Daily Illini. There are several issues beyond the committee’s control, such as which department will offer courses and which students decide to take those courses. It is up to colleges and departments to determine what courses they’ll offer in the winter term, said Bettina Francis, associate professor in the Department of Entomology and chair of the Senate Committee on Educational Policy. “Departments know when they have too many students for their courses during regular semesters, so it would be reasonable for them to offer
those courses during winter session if the courses are appropriate,” Francis said. Due to the shorter length of winter session compared to regular semesters, courses that require term papers or extended research are not considered to be good candidates for the winter session. Overview and introductory courses would be better suited, Francis said. The official winter term is expected to maintain its one-class per term policy, as established in previous years. The courses being taught will be similar to the courses taught in the fall, spring and summer. “The major difference should be in the fact that students are concentrating on a single course and are intensively studying that course,” Francis said. The winter session launched in 2014 as a pilot program, with only eight online classes and 980 stu-
dents. Three years later, it has grown to 24 classes with 1,819 students. The initial trial period ended at the start of 2017, generating a total of $5.8 million for participating colleges during its threeyear pilot program. However, the cost of winter session also raised some concerns. Different from regular semesters, winter session requires students to pay by credit hours. Also, there is no financial aid offered for the winter session. “It means that students who are better off will be able to afford the tuition for the winter session, and students who don’t have the money beyond their regular tuition will not be able to take it,” Francis said. “This is something of an equity issue. I believe there are concerns about that in the administration.”

University of Illinois Archives receives grant The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded the University’s archives a grant necessary to develop a model web portal and analysis engine, which would allow access to any material related to the cybernetics field. “This is the first NEH grant that the University of Illinois Archives has received from the Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program,” said Bethany Anderson, archival operations and reference specialist in the University of Illinois Archives, in an email. Cybernetics was formerly known as the production of automatic antiaircraft systems. It included studying the science of communications and control systems. In the modern day, it is known as the study of communications and self-organizing systems. Digitization is the process by which analog media is transformed into digital form. “Traditionally, much of the material that archives held were paper-based or in analog format, though increasingly, archives are acquiring and preserving born-digital records,” Anderson said. The University and three other institutions — the British Library, the American Philosophical Society and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — make up the Humanities Collections and Reference Resources Foundations program. The program, “The Cybernetics Thought Collective: A History of Science and Technology Portal Project,” focuses on researching the history of cybernetics.

on uniting these materials to facilitate the study of the history of cybernetics and to help researchers better understand how the four founding members of cybernetics influenced each other’s ideas and created a community, or a “thought collective,” of scientific exchange. Digital records are records that are in a format that can be processed by a computer. Once records are in a digital format, they can be used in a much more flexible manner than traditional records. “Digitization provides an important means to make archival materials more widely available on the web, especially to researchers who might not be able to travel to Urbana for onsite research,” Anderson said. “It also enables us to unite geographically-dispersed materials, which is one of the major goals for this NEHfunded project.” Archival records linked to Professor Heinz von Foerster and former University Electrical Engineering faculty member W. Ross Ashby can now be digitized because of the award. Similarly, the “Thought Collective,” a scientific group that focuses on the examination of cybernetics, will have access to materials that detail the history of cybernetics. The group includes scientists affiliated with the Biological Computer Laboratory at the University. In 1958, Professor Heinz von Foerster established the Biological Computer Laboratory, an interdisciplinary research space that fostered the development of cybernetic ideas and experiments. Although the laboratory only existed for a little over a decade, its legacy continues to live on, not only through saving students money by offering online versions of material needed in class.

The University of Illinois Archives recently received a grant to develop access to materials in the cybernetics field. the archival records preserved by the Archives but also through modern interdisciplinary scientific and artistic explorations on campus. Cybernetics is regarded as one of the most important scientific movements of the 20th century. “Cybernetics was by its very nature trans-disciplinary, as it brought together scholars from a wide variety of disciplines who were interested in similar questions about control, communication and feedback in both organisms and machines,” Anderson said. Because it was so interdis-
ciplinary, it has had a deep and lasting impact on many disciplines and promoted the cross-pollination of ideas. “It’s important to understand this legacy and to make available the primary sources that shed light on the evolution of cybernetics and the ideas of the scientists for whom it was a disciplinary home,” Anderson said. The history of cybernetics is also important to those wishing to study the broader history of innovative research at the University. “Interest in the history of cybernetics draws scholars from around the world, who

MAYOR the trend across the nation is to have a professional city administration,” Marlin said, “So I just view this position as being essential.” Marlin said she also plans on appointing a permanent police chief and that she would like to finalize a timeline for implementing a facilities plan for the city. She announced her mayoral candidacy last summer and has served as an Urbana alderwoman since 2009. In the February democratic primaries, Marlin won 57 percent of the vote, defeating receiving around 19 percent. The remaining funds went primarily to physical, life, social and behavioral science research. On March 10, University Chancellor Robert Jones and the Executive Associate Vice Chancellor for Research, Professor Melanie Loots, met with NSF Director France Cordova in Washington, D.C. It was not specified as to
the incumbent mayor Laurel Prussing and the third candidate Evelyn Underwood. As mayor, Marlin said that the most important public safety issue she would continue to address is that regarding gun violence. “We’ll (also) start laying groundwork for rebuilding relationships with our community partners such as the U of I and Carle hospital and start meeting with the business community to look at the challenges facing people doing business in Urbana and how we can address those issues,” Marlin said. Marlin expects a budget to be passed by June 30 and said that they are in the middle of
contract negotiations with all of their bargaining units. The next six months will be busy for Marlin and her team. Marlin said that it is imperative to stay accessible to the people, listen to them and respond to their concerns. “A lot of the platforms I developed along the campaign were based on what I was hearing from people as I went door to door talking to them,” Marlin said “It’s really important for elected officials to maintain those channels of communication and spend a lot of time listening instead of talking.”

The University officials’ meeting with the NSF director was part of a larger aim — including the participation of additional school officials — to address the University’s attitude and
concerns to members of Congress. “The NSF funds programs that support everything from diversity and entrepreneurship to tools for researchers,” Loots said in an email. “NSF funding is vital to the University . . . We are confident that the U.S. Congress will continue its strong support for NSF.”

A letter from Alma for visiting moms To thy happy children (of the present),
S
tarting Friday, families will start arriving on campus to celebrate Moms Weekend. As a mother myself since 1929, Moms Weekend is one of my favorite campus celebrations. After a day filled with catching up, exploring campus and checking out the campus facilitated activities, there is always a bit of worry in the back of my mind when the evening hits. So moms, listen up. Whether you’re a returning alumna or not, some of us often seem a bit like young freshman trying to navigate their way around their first night out. There is always the threat that we may engage in behavior we might end up regretting as soon as the sun comes up. It’s not always our fault; sometimes we need guidance that only our children can provide. So, to my current children whose (other) mothers are visiting: Treat her as you would want to be treated. Sure, it’s fun to show your mom all of your favorite spots on campus, but if that includes a night at your favorite bars, be
careful. Treat your mother like your lightweight friend. A glass of pinot grigio is different than a pitcher of Long Islands. There’s a novelty to drinking with parents, but they may also get swept up in wanting to relive their college years. I always care about the safety of my children, and that extends to visiting moms. For my children that are returning, I know it’s been a while. Moms, remember that as much as we want to have fun with our children, we probably don’t want to drink as much as we did in college. Don’t try to match your college tequila shot record, and definitely remember to eat a full meal before you go out. There will be no shortage of alcohol upon your arrival, nor a majority of individuals unwilling to drink. More importantly, remember that even though anyone can get into the bars at 19, this isn’t Wisconsin and buying alcohol for your underage child is still illegal. Getting a ticket will surely put a damper on your weekend. This isn’t to discourage you from having a
good time. Whatever your respective offspring likes to partake in on Friday and Saturday nights, it will be even more memorable with the women who have been with them since birth. Cut loose a little bit and appreciate the work you’ve done in raising one of my Illini and admire how they’ve grown over time. Finally out of the nest, your child has begun to live on their own, learn on their own, love on their own and — maybe most importantly — drink on their own. Once, your role was to keep them in line and in society’s good graces. However, this weekend lets you lend them more than just one sip of wine at a holiday dinner or to drink a beer when Grandma isn’t looking. So have fun with your child; you are both adults now and can do things you weren’t once able to do. Enjoy it responsibly, though. After all, if you are both in jail, who will bail the other one out?
Printing is a basic necessity SAKETH VASAMSETTI Opinions columnist
O
ver the past few weeks, I developed a new pastime on my way to my classes: I count the orange bags prospective students walk around with, given the seemingly endless amount of tours on campus lately. My top count has been 72, believe it or not. There’s something I’ve only recently learned. That these 72 students and many others should know: printing. Coming into my freshman year, I had way too many things to worry about. Wondering how I would print my papers did not top the list. But as the school year progressed, printing became a priority. Many classes require physical papers to be turned in for both essays and homework assignments. Some professors provide the opportunity to catch up on any missed class time by allowing students to print out note sheets online. While printing can be beneficial to students, many cannot utilize printing resources on campus without paying a price. Free printing should be a universal service and students should be given the choice of whether or not they want to pay for the service. With the thousands of dollars every student pays to attend, it’s only fair that every major is offered
the same opportunities. Currently at the University, the only students that are given “free printing” privileges are those within the Engineering department and six other STEM majors. But while it may be labeled as “free,” students in these departments are paying an increased tuition that accommodates for certain utilities such as printing. Freshman and sophomore students with Engineering Work Station accounts are given 300 page printing quotas, worth $24. Juniors receive 400 pages, worth $32, and seniors are given 500 pages, worth $40. Not only do Engineering students receive printing services from their Engineering Work Station accounts, but they can also gain those services from various student organizations. The Association for Computing Machinery is a group of students who essentially share a common interest in computer technology. The Association for Computing Machinery has its own office in the Siebel Center for Computer Science, where members can utilize a smaller computer lab, open work space and a printer. According to Tommy Yu, sophomore in computer science and current chair of the Association for Computing Machinery, the organization provides its members with unlimited printing in black and white. “The printing services are essentially paid for with the $40 new member
fees,” Yu said, “as long as they’re printing within the ACM office.” Most of the Association for Computing Machinery consists of students who are in the Engineering department, so the members are essentially receiving unlimited printing on top of the printing quotas granted from their increased tuition costs. When asked if he uses his entire printing quota, Yu responded jokingly, “No not really, since I can just print at the ACM office, you know?” Yu is probably not the only one who doesn’t use his quota. With the large population of students within the Engineering school, the amount of papers that are not being printed could potentially benefit other students who need to pay for those services. Students who major within the humanities may need to utilize printing more than others, given the particular demands of their curriculum. Regardless, it shouldn’t be a discussion of who deserves it more because it should be a service given to all students, much like the bus system or even the meal plans. When it comes to something as small as printing, it shouldn’t be a big deal for the University to re-balance the equality and give every student the right to choose whether or not they would like to receive that service.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a joint press conference with King Abdullah II of Jordan on Wednesday in the White House’s Rose Garden in Washington, D.C. Columnist Minju Park believes Trump may have made April “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” for show.
Survivors deserve better MINJU PARK Opinions columnist
T
he month of April addresses a sobering issue occurring too frequently: sexual assault. President Barack Obama was the fi rst to declare April as National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. President Donald Trump repeated the declaration Friday. Obama’s 2016 proclamation detailed a need to transform a victimblaming culture through the administration’s support of the “It’s On Us” campaign, the Violence Against Women Act and grants for the National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative. By contrast, Trump’s proclamation, while focusing on the same need to change cultural norms in regards to sexual assault, vaguely details his plan to create “a task force on crime reduction and public safety” and to “(support) victims, (prevent) future abuse, and (prosecute) offenders.” While these differences of specificity and direct initiative can be partly chalked up to differences of time spent in office, it cannot be ignored that Trump faced harsh criticisms due to his sexist
comments about women on the infamous “Access Hollywood” recording. The president’s involvement in this controversy put sexual assault on a national platform, reminding both Trump and the nation of the seriousness and sensitivity regarding the issue. Furthermore, recent news regarding sexual assault charges against prominent figures such as Fox News co-president Bill Shine, former chairman Roger Ailes and prime time host Bill O’Reilly have created an ironic tone as we step into Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Sexual assault is an even more prevalent issue in regards to university students. According to a study by the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, 11.2 percent of all students experience “rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation.” For the University specifically, many students feel as though the Counseling Center provides insufficient treatment. Many students fi nd themselves unable to even make an appointment to speak with a counselor. According to a reviewer on the Counseling Center’s Google Reviews page, the counselor gave “false information,” and another reviewer felt as if the staff was “poorly
trained.” One friend of mine who had recently experienced a sexual assault situation tried to obtain services at the Counseling Center, but found that after numerous calls they were fully booked and unable to accommodate her. While there are other resources such as the University’s “We Care” page and sexual assault hotlines, an in-person appointment with a trained, effective counselor is irreplaceable. The intentions behind Sexual Assault Awareness Month are valid and necessary to educate the public about the consequences and struggles of experiencing sexual assault. But the reality of the current situation for victims is tragic. We live in a society in which the president bragged freely about grabbing a woman’s genitals, in which public figures indulge in their power and in which victims are unable to receive the help they need. Trump may think that continuing the tradition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month is for show, but the American people deserve better than vagueness and buzzwords in dealing with an issue that endangers lives daily.

Jewish community pushes for a more kosher campus BY REBECCA WOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Over the past few years, the University has gradually improved its kosher food options. Recently, members of the Illini Hillel, a center for Jewish life on campus, have taken matters into their own hands and started a plan to encourage more restaurants and dining halls to make kosher food accessible for students. Rebbetzi n A h ava Schachter-Zarembski, Jewish educator at the Illini Hillel, said keeping kosher is a Jewish dietary code that is described in the Bible. It prohibits Jewish people from eating pork, mixing meat and dairy and requires a certain kind of slaughter method that’s more humane and moral. Schachter-Zarembski and her husband, Rabbi Schlomo Schachter, both employees of the Illini Hillel, have put together an initiative to help the campus community become more kosher-friendly. This initiative is one of the first efforts to create a more kosher-friendly community outside of Chicago. Schachter-Zarembski said that by the summer Cold Stone Creamery in Champaign and The Dancing Dog Eatery and Juicery in Urbana will receive their kosher certification from Vaad

UGL are only two—maybe three— hours long and you choose when to have them. Even if something does come up it’s very easy to get your shift covered.” As for sleep, both Kosnik and Geske said the key to getting enough of it is to plan accordingly. “It effects your sleep schedule, but it is just like any other job. The latest shift is 12:30 a.m. so if I know I’m working that shift then I’ll try to get my homework done beforehand or I just wake up the next morning and do it,” Kosnik said. “But it doesn’t drastically change anything.” Geske said his normal shifts typically end around 10 p.m. However, the late night shift, which is from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., is randomly assigned and shared among all employees. “Everyone has to do their turn of working that late night shift (Friday and Saturday) which makes sense. The whole system is pretty fair,” Geske said. Kosnik said the job rarely interferes with her school schedule. With a majority of her classes and meetings during the day, Kosnik said her late-night job is the perfect fit. Kosnik said UGL employees are allowed to do homework as long as it doesn’t
Hoeir of St. Louis. “That is just stage one,” Schachter-Zarembski said. “Stage two is to create private space for students who observe the Sabbath, add more kosher restaurants and really get Chicago excited about this inclusive and diverse school that supports minorities and the Jewish community. Stage three is getting the word out that this is really a place of Jewish growth.” Solomon Lowenstein, junior in ACES, has kept kosher on campus for the past four years he’s spent at the University. “The hardest part about keeping kosher is that a lot of my friends aren’t kosher. So when we want to eat out, (our options) are very limited,” Lowenstein said. For those who don’t eat kosher, Lowenstein shared his favorite kosher snack, which is Bissli, a potato chip or wheat snack that comes in several flavors. His favorite, in particular, is barbecue flavored. Schachter-Zarembski said how supportive the organizations and mayor of Champaign have been trying to work toward a more kosher environment for students who observe this practice. Schachter-Za rembsk i and Lowenstein both agree that Allen Hall, in particu-
lar, has been very understanding in an attempt to convert to a kosher dining plan, but other University dining halls could use more improvement. “Allen Hall has kosher for dinner but no kosher for lunch. Ike, Bromley or Presby would be some great ones to start having kosher meals.” Lowenstein said. “For those who don’t live in the dining halls, another restaurant would be nice. Dining halls are the biggest target, though.” Schachter-Za rembsk i explained how many students have trouble keeping a healthy diet here while keeping kosher. She explained that one of the goals she was aiming toward is converting more restaurants to kosher that use Grubhub so food can always be available. “Many students don’t eat dinner because they have to eat across campus and they may have responsibilities on the other side of campus,” Schachter-Zarembski said. Miriam Coven, senior in ACES, keeps kosher and said there aren’t many options, but that it becomes easier over time once you know where to go. Most people end up cooking for themselves. Coven said she has learned how to best survive on Starbucks — specifically the drinks.
interfere with helping a patron. “I think being able to do homework at this job is what makes it so great for college students,” Kosnik said. “I know at a dining hall you can’t do that, at Espresso Royale you can’t do that and even at some other libraries you can’t do that.” Nevertheless, even the relaxed environment of a library can get chaotic at times. “One night there was this kid who ran straight into that door over there. He pushed through the door so hard and abruptly that it swung open and slammed into the brick wall behind it,” Kosnik said. “The glass shattered everywhere. I don’t know how that even happened really — that glass was so thick and old. I don’t understand what could have been that urgent.” Kosnik said working at the UGL is a relatively easy job, but the late nights do wear her down. Usually, she works late on Monday nights, but she doesn’t really mind it. “I just work from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. and it fits into my schedule pretty nicely. I just get really tired by the end of it,” Kosnik said. “So I come in pretty energized but by the end of it, I’m exhausted for no reason. This job isn’t hard. I just sit here, do my homework, check my email or talk to coworkers.”

The book focuses on Japanese internment camps, Haitian refugees and so-called enemy combatants held at Guantanamo Bay. “You have to listen. We need to pay attention to the testimonies of the imprisoned because they know more about this condition than anyone else will,” Paik said. “They are the real experts on what it means to be rightless and what it means to be deprived of these fundamental protections.” Yiyi Wang, sophomore in LAS, attended the event for her class, where they study the representation of AsianAmericans in pop culture through media, history and orientalism. “We have learned about the Japanese internment and how people have rationalized

It has just been amazing and it makes me really proud.” Schachter-Zarembski said her main goal is to create a place where students have
it through different ideologies,” Wong said. “I think the way that she addressed the rightlessness versus (having) the rights is really interesting how it radicalizes the Japanese.” Christopher Eng, professor of Asian-American studies, teaches a class on pop culture. He said in an email that his course is a way to look at how pop culture shapes our understanding about AsianAmerican relationships to the notions of American national belonging and cultural citizenship. The course studies the Chinese Exclusion Act and the internment camps during World War II. It looks into the internment camps’ relation to the rationalization of anti-Asian legal measures when studying racist depictions in pop culture. “Paik invites us to consider how the realm of popular culture is not tangential, but central to the creation of rightlessness insofar it works to justify or normalize these gross acts of injustice that are carried out routinely by our government,” Eng wrote. As for the solution that Paik sought through her research, she said political participation amongst people is what can enact “true democratic politics.” Paik sees parallels between the precedents and
the opportunity to be a part of their cultural identity and of the broader community as well. “If this plan goes th rough,” SchachterZarembski said, “Champaign-Urbana will have the most kosher restaurants, besides Chicago, in Illinois.”

Dr. Angela Naomi Paik speaks about her book “Rightlessness” at the Illini Union Bookstore on March 28. the current political atmosphere, with the escalation of the war on terror, bombings, Iraq, Yemen, martial rhetoric and the criminalization of immigrant communities. “If we look at the executive orders that have come out of the White House since January, we see a lot more about immigration enforcement,” Paik said. “We see things about escalating law and order principles and criminalization of already criminalized communities and of immigrant communities ... to me this is the enactment and spread of rightlessness.”
Paik said these occurrences in American politics are “not new” and are simply an escalation that has the potential to spread to more people. “I really do think that it’s going to spread to people who feel themselves to be very safe from these kinds of forces like the criminalization of mass assembly or protest,” Paik said. “That’s a fundamental right. You know to say that we disagree with something. To criminalize that, to throw you in jail for that, is really incredibly dangerous to our democracy.”

Outside of the Undergraduate Library on April 3. Student employees help keep the library up and running during the night shift.
Keep the lights on
BY BIANCA REYES STAFF WRITER
When University students enter the Undergraduate Library, they walk down the stairs to their desired floor, sit down at a table and begin to work. What most students don’t realize is that the library is open so late because of student workers. The UGL is a popular late-night study spot for students. It is open 24 hours Monday through Thursday, making it the perfect place to pull an all-nighter. But not every student at the library
is cramming for an exam or writing a last minute paper. Rather than putting in their hours for school work, some students are putting in the hours that allow the library to stay open. Emma Kosnik, sophomore in LAS, has been an employee at the UGL for over a year now. Although many may believe the job is hectic, Kosnik said working at the UGL is rather laid-back. “I worked at a dining hall before this and I was getting really tired of that. But at the library you just sit around and the UGL is the social library so I figured I would be able to talk to my
coworkers,” Kosnik said. At the UGL, each shift is at least one hour long. Student employees can pick however many one-hour shifts they would like to work. Everyone has the opportunity to pick the shifts that best work with their schedule. Adrian Geske, freshman in DGS and UGL employee, said his job does not really take up as much time as some people may think. “There is a meeting before every semester to determine your availability and when you work,” Geske said. “And if you switch around your
classes it’s really easy to change your schedule. The managers are very understanding.” The student workers have the option to select whatever hours they want. Kosnik said some student workers pick up random hours throughout the week. Shift lengths vary widely; some work three-hour shifts, while others work 10. “This job doesn’t really interfere with social aspects of life,” Geske said. “Because, I mean, these shifts

University professor tackles ‘Rightlessness’ in America BY KAYLA MARTINEZ STAFF WRITER
Force feedings, hunger strikes and suicides. The history of prison camps in the U.S. have subjected people to a loss of legal and civil rights, as well as isolation from the social community. That’s rightlessness, said Angela Naomi Paik, assistant professor in the Asian-American studies department.
In 2003, shortly after the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp opened, Paik began to question what was happening in the camp and how it was possible. Paik was a graduate student at Yale at the time and later received her Ph.D. in American Studies. Paik wanted to understand how, historically, a prison camp like Guantanamo Bay could exist and what she

To find the answer to her question, Paik began research for her dissertation in 2006, which was published as a book in April 2016, “Rightlessness.” In reading an excerpt from her book, Paik said: “We need to hear the call from the rightless, not only for their sake, but for ours as well.

rightless because they know what the future holds.” To start her research, Paik decided to “work backwards” and look at history. The first precedent Paik researched was the Haitian coup d’état in the 1990s. Thousands of Haitian refugees attempted to escape political conflict but were either captured and sent back or taken to the refugee camp at Guantanamo by the
U.S. In a small, disorganized room, Paik looked through stacked papers of archives and legal and press documents to learn more about the Haitian case. “I looked at every single piece of paper in there,” Paik said. “The thing that I looked for first was refugee testimonies because I’m really interested in what the peo-
ple in the camp have to say.” Through her research, Paik learned the refugees were being detained indefinitely. Paik’s research of the Haitian coup d’état led her to seek information on Japanese Internment camps in the U.S. during World War II. Paik read an excerpt from

McInerney leads team with no captains BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER
Illinois first baseman Pat McInerney’s mindset is not looking for a first-pitch fastball or to shorten up his swing with two strikes — although, he is brilliant at both. Instead, his key to success is swagger. “Just having the feeling of showing up to the field every day knowing you’re going to win — having that kind of swagger — more times than not, you’re going to end up on top,” McInerney said. The senior is the only Illini starter left from the 2015 squad, a team notable for McInerney’s version of swagger. The 2015 ballclub posted a school-record 50 wins, achieved a 27-game winning streak and was knocked out in the Super Regionals by future No. 1 MLB Draft pick Dansby Swanson and national runner-up Vanderbilt. Before sweeping Indiana State at home last weekend, Illinois sat at 6-16 and were uncompetitive against Michigan State in its first Big Ten series of the season. Any resemblance of the 2015 team seems to have dissipated. “The biggest thing two years ago was that we showed up to the park every day knowing we were going to win,” McInerney said. “That kind of attitude helps when you do win, and you can have that feeling.” McInerney has done his best in 2017 to keep the Illini competitive; he is on pace for career-

Top Illini recruit Jeremiah Tilmon asks for release MATT GERTSMEIER Illini hoops columnist
J
eremiah Tilmon has requested a release from his National Letter of Intent with Illinois. The 6-foot-10 center from East Saint Louis, Ill., made the announcement via Instagram Wednesday afternoon. Tilmon had verbally committed to play for former head coach John Groce on July 11, 2016, and signed his National Letter of Intent in November. The top-25 recruit claimed the release was due to recent coaching changes at Illinois in his Instagram post. “My family and I feel it’s only fair that we hear all opportunities and not be stuck in one situation,” Tilmon said via Instagram. “We will wait patiently on the release from the NLI.” Tilmon caused a stir in November when he waited to sign with Illinois until the last possible day in the early signing period. The delay caused concern for many Illini fans. This past week, Tilmon had retweeted his own tweet from last summer when he verbally committed to Illinois. Many fans and analysts took this social media move as an indication that Tilmon was still on board with Illinois basketball and new head coach Brad Underwood. According to 247sports.com, Tilmon ranks as the top player in Illinois and No. 29 in the
nation. He has received offers from Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan State, North Carolina, Texas and UCLA. His crystal ball has Missouri as the front-runner on 247sports.com. Tilmon’s request for his release changes a lot for the Illini. Illinois’ recruiting class of 2017 now shrinks down to three signees consisting only of guards. Before Tilmon’s shocking news, the Illini were ranked as the No. 11 class in the nation, according to 247sports.com and ESPN. With the graduation of Maverick Morgan and Mike Thorne Jr., there was a strong chance Tilmon would get major minutes as a freshman and be heavily relied upon as Illinois’ go-to big man. After watching his highlights, I’ve noticed that Tilmon has great footwork and soft touch around the rim. He can step outside for a midrange jumper and has great length to block shots on the defensive end. This would be huge for Illinois. If Tilmon chooses to commit to another school when all is said and done, this will really put Illinois in a bind. Without Tilmon, the Illini will have to look upon Michael Finke as their center. While Finke has demonstrated a pretty good feel for the position, he seems more suited for the stretch-four spot on the court, given his three-point capabilities. It’s peculiar that Tilmon waited a couple of weeks after Groce’s firing to request his release, especially with his

Illinois softball prepares to rebound this weekend against Purdue at home BY ERICH FISHER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois softball team will return to action this weekend against Purdue with a home series beginning Friday. The Illini are coming off their first Big Ten losses of the season after winning one out of three games against No. 7 Minnesota last weekend. The series caused Illinois to drop out of the top 25 and Minnesota to earn its first conference loss of the season. As a result, the Golden Gophers slid from sixth to seventh in the national rankings. “We are just focused on resetting and making sure we get on the same page again,” said head coach Tyra Perry. “We’ve taken it as a positive, and we’re definitely ready to continue to move forward.” Illinois will be coming in with
a 24-10 overall record (4-2 in conference play). Purdue has an overall record of 15-23 (4-2 in conference play). Senior first baseman Alyssa Gunther said the mood is still upbeat in the dugout despite the losses against Minnesota. “It’s been very positive, and it’s definitely been a grind (this season). We still have a lot of games left,” Gunther said. “But we all have very positive attitudes and are all just trying to keep the energy up.” After struggling in the first game of the series against Minnesota, senior pitcher Breanna Wonderly gave up a total of seven runs in the remaining two games. She will be up against a Purdue team that has only three of its nine batters batting above .300. Seven of the nine Minnesota batters were batting above .300.
Senior outfielder Nicole Evans could potentially make history at the plate this weekend against the Boilermakers. She needs four home runs and five RBIs to become the all-time leader in both categories in Illinois softball history. Going into their weekend series matchup, the Illini and the Boilermakers are right next to each other in the conference standings with Illinois in fourth and Purdue in fifth. With both teams being 4-2 in conference play, Perry is expecting the series to be very similar to what it was last year. “It was a battle, each inning, each pitch, and I’m not expecting anything different with them just being down the road from us,” Perry said. “It’s going to be a great series.”

Illini look to rally at home after losing four of five away matches BY BRIAN BINZ STAFF WRITER
BRIAN BAUER THE DAILY ILLINI
Aron Hiltzik hits a backhand in the meet against Kentucky on Friday, Feb. 24 at the Atkins Tennis Center in Urbana. The Illini’s last five matches have ended in four losses and one win for the team.
It’s been over a month, but the Illinois men’s tennis team will play a match at home. The Illini have spent the last five matches away from home, traveling to Texas to face Texas Christian University, then to the west coast to play Cal-Berkeley and Stanford and then back into Big Ten country, playing Minnesota and Wisconsin. The trip totaled over 5,000 miles and did not do much for the Illini’s record. The team entered with a 9-5 record, but after four-straight losses to start the trip, the Illini won their last game against the Badgers to keep a winning record on the year. The team can now gain momentum before the postseason with two matches at home this weekend. Illinois will host Iowa and Nebraska on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. “The comfort of playing at home
is a big deal,” said head coach Brad Dancer. “It’s the first time in forever for our fans to come on out here and see us.” The Illini’s No. 1 singles player Aleks Vukic agreed with his coach and said that the familiarity with the courts, as well as the comfort of sleeping in his own bed, will help the Illini in their return home. Vukic has not struggled as much on the road as the rest of his teammates; the junior now has 13 wins in a row in singles matches. He has risen from the No. 20 spot on the ITA’s college rankings to the No. 6 spot this week and won the Big Ten Tennis Athlete of the Week award last week. While the wins continue for the Australian native, the personal accolades are not what he wants. “The team is the priority,” Vukic said. “I’m trying to win for the team. It helps me a lot when others can win; we feed off each other.” Vukic said that he doesn’t feel any pressure coming from the
higher ranking and has goals that he wants to achieve whether the streak continues or not. Despite the positive end to the road trip, Dancer doesn’t want his players to get too ahead of themselves. “Every match is unique and different,” Dancer said. “We have to prepare much better as coaches … we’ve just not played well enough the whole season.” Dancer lamented the inconsistency of the Illini, but reiterated that he thought they have the athletes to maintain a high level of success. Iowa (11-9, 1-4) and Nebraska (4-12, 0-5) may not have similar records to teams the Illini have played over the last month, but Dancer is wary of the challenge. “We know they have some good players, we have to get ready to play,” Dancer said. “That’s the most important thing.”

Best games and iconic moments of 2010s BY ORRI BENATAR STAFF WRITER
The Daily Illini’s bracket of the 2010’s best games of the 2010s continues with the Elite Eight. Notable matchups include Game Seven of the 2016 World Series facing Game Six of the 2013 Stanley Cup. The 2014 World Cup matchup of the U.S. and Ghana, the bracket’s Cinderella story, will take on Super Bowl LI. Check out Monday’s paper when the Final Four will be revealed.
Super Bowl XLIX
ROUND OF EIGHT
Chicago Cubs vs. Cleveland Indians (2016 World Series – Game 7) The craziest MLB playoff game led to the moment that Wrigleyville had waited for: the Cubs winning the World Series.
The Patriots’ Malcolm Butler had one of the biggest interceptions in NFL history.
Chicago Blackhawks vs. Boston Bruins (2013 Stanley Cup – Game 6)
Clemson vs. Alabama (2017)
In a 17-second span, the Blackhawks scored two goals in the last two minutes of the game to seal their second Stanley Cup in four seasons.
Clemson got its first championship win since 1981 thanks to Deshaun Watson’s two-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors (2016 NBA Finals, Game 7)
Super Bowl LI (Falcons vs. Patriots)
LeBron James led the Cavaliers to an improbable threeconsecutive wins. His block in Game 7 helped Cleveland win its first major sports title in more than 50 years.
Tom Brady led the Patriots to an overtime win to complete arguably the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history and give Brady his record fifth Super Bowl title.
Villanova vs. North Carolina (2016 March Madness Final)
USA vs. Ghana (2014 World Cup) After conceding a goal, the United States clinched the win with an unexpected header from defender John Brooks with four minutes left.
Marcus Paige’s game-tying three for North Carolina and Kris Jenkins buzzer-beater gave Villanova its second national title.

Illinois prepares for weekend against Michigan BY THOMAS POLCYN STAFF WRITER
The Illinois baseball team endured a four-game losing streak last week. The team had struggles on defense, and the offense did not provide enough to overcome the deficits it fell into. During the losing streak, the team was outscored, 43-11. The Illini were 6-16 on the season and showed no real signs of a looming change. However, this past week, things have been going differently. Following a sweep of Indiana State, Illinois continued with a 5-3 win over Mizzou (21-8) in its annual Braggin’ Rights game. The Illini are currently on a four-game winning streak and have improved their record to 10-16 on the season. Despite the improvement and added momentum, the Illini will face one of their toughest challenges yet this weekend: a three-game series with No. 18 Michigan. The Wolverines are 23-6 this season and are riding a seven-game winning streak heading into the series. They also have lost just one of the 11 games played

MBBALL recent retweet. It seems a bit odd that he didn’t make an announcement earlier. A few days ago, fans were feeling reaffirmed on his commitment. This is a very quick change of pace in the situation. Regardless, I think it’s important for people to respect Tilmon’s decision. He’s a senior in high school and has one of the most important decisions of his career on the line. For about eight months, he was under the impression he would be playing for Groce, and now he needs to decide if he was committing to play for a
at home. In its last four games, the pitching staff has allowed just over two runs per game, a steady improvement from its season average of 6.20 per game. Improvements for the Illini have come from the staff as a whole, but underclassmen Ty Weber and Joey Gerber have been two of the most effective pitchers over the last couple series. Weber was recently named Big Ten Freshman and Pitcher of the week after throwing a complete game and allowing just one run in his start against Indiana State. Following this past week, his ERA is down to 3.80 on the season — second lowest on the team — and he leads in innings pitched with 42.2 so far. Gerber has been one of the most consistent on the staff all season, but after recent performances he has brought his season stats to a new low. The sophomore has now gone nine straight appearances without giving up an earned run — a streak that runs all the way back to March 5, in his game against Florida Atlantic. On the offensive side, the Illini have been almost school or a coach. This will be a great test for Underwood. I am curious to see how he approaches this decision and if he can persuade Tilmon to recommit to Illinois. I think Underwood is a great coach and would absolutely utilize Tilmon in his system if he decided to recommit. Tilmon will continue to be sought out by some highly rated programs and some other schools that have recently changed their landscape. Missouri could be a school on the rise with Cuonzo Martin as the new head coach and a recent commitment from the No. 1 prospect in the nation, Michael Porter Jr. I certainly wouldn’t

Illinois’ Doran Turchin (20) runs out a ground ball during the game against Bradley at Illinois Field on March 28. Illinois looks to bounce back from a four-game losing streak with game against No. 18 Michigan, who currently has a seven-game winning streak. equally as hot. Senior first baseman Pat McInerney has lead the charge, as well as increased contributions from sophomores Casey Dodge, Jack Yalowitz and more. McInerney has hit home runs in three of his last four games, bringing him up to count Illinois out yet. Underwood retaining Jamall Walker as an assistant will definitely help keep the Illini in the mix for Tilmon. “Illinois will always remain an option because of my ongoing relationship with Coach (Jamall) Walker but this is my future and I need to be certain before I come to campus in June,” Tilmon said in his Instagram post. The regular signing day for basketball will begin April 12 and end May 17. Only time will tell where Tilmon ends up.

tough challenge this weekend as they will face two of the top ten pitchers in the Big Ten in terms of strikeouts — a problem the Illini have struggled with from time to time. Michigan’s Oliver Jaskie leads the Big Ten in strikeouts with 54 in just 40

Ill., but was never scouted, despite hitting .477 as a senior. The sophomore’s father, Charles Dodge III, played baseball at the University of Michigan. His grandfather, Charles Dodge II, played at Western Michigan before stints in the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers organizations. Even his uncle, Tommy Dodge, was on Northwestern’s baseball team. Dodge wasn’t ready to give up baseball just because he did not get recruited. He attended the open tryouts as a freshman and was Illinois’ bullpen catcher last season. “I really, really wanted to do something special here,” Dodge said. “I didn’t know if I’d ever play. I worked hard to see where it would take me, and I got one shot, and I’m just trying to do the most I can with it.” Dodge’s shot has come this year in an upgraded role as the team’s designated hitter, batting cleanup behind McInerney. “He’s taught me a lot, especially from a hitting standpoint,” Dodge said. “From a confidence level, he told me to go up there and get your pitch and be ready for it at any moment.” ‘Any moment’ turned out to be leading off the fifth inning against Indiana State’s Jeremy McKinney on Sunday afternoon. With a 1-0 count, Dodge turned on a fastball and crushed it down the leftfield line and watched it sail
over the fence for his first career home run. “I was looking for one fastball — and one fastball only — and it was there,” Dodge said. “I just tried to put a good swing on it.” Dodge called McInerney “an absolute great leader and a great guy … the absolute leader of this team” when the pair arrived in the press box at Illinois Field following the game. However, it was the first baseman who had the most to say, even after a career weekend. “(Dodge) goes from walkon for last year and comes in and is our four-hitter,” McInerney said. “It’s really cool, and I know he’ll continue to do well.” He’s doing his best on the field to keep the team afloat in the Big Ten standings during a rough start that saw Hartleb’s team lose seven of its first nine home games. His numbers appear strong enough to make a case for a team to select him in June’s MLB Draft. But before it’s about Pat McInerney, it’s about the team. “The team comes first,” McInerney said. “If I’m at the end of the season and I’m lucky enough to get drafted, that’d be great. If not, then so be it. The primary goal, currently, is to win the Big Ten. That’s something I’m trying to tell the freshmen and sophomores.”
IOTW ends where I was seeing the ball well,” McInerney said. “In baseball it comes and goes, and that is something you learn every year as you grow older.” Not a full-time starter until 2015 — and not the starting first baseman until this year — McInerney has embraced his role as the team’s leader. Head coach Dan Hartleb’s team does not have captains, but that does not stop the 6-foot-5, 240-pound senior from taking charge. Hartleb said McInerney realized last season that the team was lacking much leadership from its young core of players. “He has always been very mature,” Hartleb said. “But I think he looked around last year and thought that maybe this was a situation where we could have a little bit better leadership. He learned some things that he wanted to be different about the team and the way we were going about things.” The head coach has praised McInerney for holding his teammates accountable and working with some of the younger starters, including designated hitter Casey Dodge. Dodge arrived at the University in 2015 as a freshman majoring in consumer economics and finance. He lettered for three years in baseball at Barrington High School in Barrington,

MEN’S GYMNASTICS
Illinois prepares for weekend Big Ten Championships BY WILL GERARD STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s gymnastics team has been preparing for the Big Ten Championships the entire season and will not have to travel far. The State Farm Center will host the conference championship meet Friday. “We’ve been thinking about it all year,” said senior Matt Foster. “I’ve been visualizing my pommel horse set in State Farm (Center) for the last four months now.” Illinois won the Big Ten title when it last hosted the event in 2011. Head coach Justin Spring said he believes at least four teams have a chance of walking away with a championship title this weekend. In the past two seasons, the host schools — Penn State and Ohio State — have won the conference meet, respectively. “The home field advantage exists because you feel it’s your responsibility to defend this place for not just yourself but for this team, this program, for the alum coming back,” Spring said. “So hosting the event intensifies the responsibility on the athletes, but that’s what makes it so special.” Illinois started the season 9-0 and recorded a team-high of 422.90 points in the second meet of the year at Arizona State. However, Spring said the team has since had to overcome
injuries to key contributors, making it challenging for the coaching staff to pick each lineup. Last weekend, during Senior Night at Huff Hall, Illinois lost to Ohio State, 416.85-415.25. “I feel good about the tweaks we’ve made since Ohio State,” Spring said. “I think we’re going to be in the best position we can to challenge any team on the floor.” The program leads the conference with 27 overall team titles, dating back to the first-ever meet hosted by Wisconsin in 1902. Minnesota and Michigan round out the top three with 21 and 17 titles, respectively. Illinois held a team meeting Monday and reflected on the significance of the upcoming meet. “We just talked about the team’s culture and what it meant to everyone,” Foster said. “We talked about how much we truly care for one another and how much we love each other.” The team plans to treat meet day like any other Friday. “In some ways, you may think it’s terrible (going to class), but I remember competing in postseason meets when you’re away, and you just sit in a hotel waiting,” Spring said. “Honestly, the anxiety of waiting is way worse; I would almost rather be in class.” Foster, a senior in Business, does not have class

Matt Foster performs on the pommel horse against Minnesota at Huff Hall on Jan. 28. Foster scored a 13.95. Friday. His day will likely consist of eating scrambled eggs with the team, playing Super Smash Brothers with fellow pommel horse teammate junior Brandon Ngai and playing music with his roommates before departing for the State Farm Center. It’s all business for Foster
once he leaves for the competition. The senior said he will do his best to “go to work and make some magic happen” during his final conference meet. “This is the one that matters,” Spring said. “There’s a lot riding on this one night.”
