T.I.S. stops selling books, Illini Union Bookstore reaches maximum capacity BY MEGAN JONES STAFF WRITER

Students stood outside the Illini Union Bookstore in the rain Wednesday morning as the bookstore staff slowly allowed small groups into the store to avoid exceeding maximum capacity of the building. The University-owned bookstore is now the sole location for students to purchase textbooks on campus, as T.I.S. College Bookstore no longer carries textbooks. Around five to seven percent of the profits made at the bookstore goes back to student activities for the Illini Union, Tod Piere, director

of the Illini Union Bookstore, said. T.I.S. was remodeled over the summer and transitioned into The Illini Shop Campustown, said Jon Tichenor, operations manager of T.I.S., in a statement. The area in the store where textbooks were previously housed is currently under construction. Pietre said they were notified that T.I.S. would no longer sell books after the end of spring semester, and they prepared differently over the summer by hiring more student staff and increasing orders to publishers. “We always evaluate

changes needed after every semester based on many factors,” he said. “Obviously, we did not know what the full impact of T.I.S. closing would have, so it is a learning curve for the whole staff.” Brett Alexander, senior in ACES, said he would look at both T.I.S. and IUB’s offerings online to compare the prices and buy from whichever had the best deal. “The prices always varied. For some semesters, most of my books would be from T.I.S., and other times mainly from IUB,” he said. He purchased books from IUB online two weeks ago,

and he said they are normally ready for pick-up before he is back on campus. This year, he has yet to receive an email that the books are ready. A line wrapped around the Illini Union Bookstore Monday as students gathered to get books on the first day of class. Many students said they had never seen as many people try to get in at once. Pietre said that while the bookstore does receive a large amount of customers at the beginning of the school year, they have seen

Joshua Barker and his roommates sometimes feel like the stepchildren of their residence hall floor. Unlike a typical room, theirs is a bit different: The three male students live in a lounge area that was transformed into a bedroom. Barker, a transfer freshman in FAA, found out he was assigned to live in temporary housing in the beginning of August through email. He and 60 other male students are currently living in lounge areas, but this is not anything different from what University Housing has had to do over the last three years, director of University Housing Alma Sealine said. The University has over 250 spaces they could convert into temporary housing, but they have not had to use all of the spaces this year. The majority of students in temporary housing live in Illinois Street Residence Hall. “The target number for the incoming class has now reached 7,500 freshmen, so we have been over that number for the last two years,” Sealine said. “We

work with our colleagues in enrollment management, fi nd out what the target number is and then we try to work around the housing options that are available and reserve those spaces for fi rst year students or returning students.” Sealine said this year, the University has more male students than they originally set aside male space for. As the University receives cancellations of housing contracts, they begin moving individuals into permanent assignments, Sealine said. Students in temporary housing placements depend on when they signed up. When a returning student decides last minute to come back to University Housing, they might not have space available for them right away, she said. People are placed first come first serve. Barker lives on the second floor of Hopkins, where the living learning community LEADS is located. Because LEADS residents move in early, he felt everyone already acquainted with each other before him and his roommates arrived. “It was kinda weird,” he said. “We didn’t get a

Students brave the Illini Union Bookstore COMPILED BY ANNABETH CARLSON MANAGING EDITOR FOR ONLINE

On Tuesday afternoon, lines of annoyed, rushed students grew longer and longer outside the Illini Union Bookstore, as they waited to be allowed inside. The bookstore staff had to slowly siphon small groups of students into the store because of fi re codes. But what some students may not realize, especially

freshman on campus for the fi rst time, is these lines may be due to the recent announcement that T.I.S. Bookstore is no longer carrying textbooks, making the Illini Union Bookstore the only location for books on campus. Students inside the store shared their thoughts about the crowds and recent news about T.I.S.

University releases first day enrollment numbers DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

As the first week of classes comes to a close, the University released preliminary enrollment numbers for the campus. The freshman class had near record-breaking enrollment, despite initial administration worries over how the state budget impasse would impact University attendance. The total enrollment is expected to drop by the tenth day of classes when the official numbers for the semester are released. There were 7,600 freshmen enrolled on the first day of classes and a total of 33,243 undergraduates. Last year, there were 7,574 freshmen enrolled on the fi rst day with a total undergraduate population of 32,640. By the tenth day of classes in fall 2015, 352 freshmen had dropped, leaving 7,222 still enrolled. The highest percentage of

students were born in 1996. Twenty-three students were born between 1944 to 1973 and four students were born in the year 2000. Among all of the different colleges, the smallest entering freshmen class is in the School of Social Work with 60 newcomers. The largest is in the College of LAS, with 2,313 incoming freshmen. The University enrolled 10,324 total international students, including both u nderg radu ates a nd graduates. The country outside of the U.S. with the largest representation was China with 5,546 students. India had the second most represented with 1,253 students and South Korea had the third largest with 1,088. There are students from 111 different countries enrolled at the University.

Professor of Journalism Brant Houston has seen the College of Media fluctuate and grow with the digitization of his field. Committees have been discussing questions about the future of the college almost since its inception: Should the advertising department be moved to the College of Business? Is the discipline of media and cinema studies better suited to the College of Fine and Applied Arts? “There have been discussions almost consistently since I’ve been here in 2007, when the College of Media was a new college,” Houston said. "The college has been asked to define “exactly what its role as the College of Media is, (and) what’s the best job we could be doing.” These committees have raised questions about Media’s cohesion and fueled rumors of its possible absorption into other colleges. With the arrival of Interim Dean Wojtek Chodzko-Zajko, the college will once again undergo evaluation. Over the course of this semester Chodzko-Zajko will evaluate the college’s resources, opportunities and personnel. He will then give his findings, along with recommendations for the college’s future, in the form of a report called a white

paper, to Associate Provost Bill Bernhard. “I think what we’re looking for right now is a relatively short-term strategy so that we can continue to have the best possible undergraduate and graduate programs in all of the areas within the college,” Chodzko-Zajko said. “As well as to support the important work of Illinois Public Media and its radio, television and internet elements.” Chodzko -Zajko will speak with the faculty, staff, students and alumni in order to gauge what future will be best for all stakeholders. He believes the college’s structure may change, but he doesn’t think any weight should be placed on its rumored absorption into another college. “It’s hard for me to speculate why rumors happen, but in this case the rumors are not based on any substantiated facts,” he said. “While it is possible that there will be a different organizational structure, nothing has been decided, and it’s equally possible that the College of Media will continue in the same organizational format.” With new technological advancements in the world of media, Bernhard sees this evaluation as an opportunity for the college to redefi ne itself.

Changes coming to Greek life on campus BY LAUREN SCAFIDI STAFF WRITER

A new Panhellenic sorority has rejoined the Panhellenic Council at the University, and some Fraternal Council fraternities and Panhellenic sororities have changed locations for the start of the new school year. Sorority Phi Mu is returning to campus, sorority Kappa Delta plans to build a new sorority house and fraternity Theta Chi is relocating to Sigma Kappa’s previous house. Phi Mu left campus in 2011 due to low recruitment but kept in contact with the University when the Panhellenic Council could support another sorority. The Panhellenic Council approved Phi Mu’s return to campus this fall. It will be the 19th Panhellenic sorority on campus. “The fraternity and sorority community at the University of Illinois is continuing to grow, and we are confident that Phi Mu will add another strong organization to the already successful system,” wrote April Roberts, director of extension at Phi Mu. She oversees the establishment of all of the sorority's new chapters around the United States. Phi Mu will participate in the first round of Formal Recruitment by holding an

information session for all potential new members. It will then withdraw from the Formal Recruitment process. After Bid Day, Phi Mu will begin its separate recruitment process for two weeks. During this time, Phi Mu will host recruitment events and hold personal interviews with all potential new members who are interested. Since this is its first year back and Phi Mu has no University members, its recruitment is conducted by Phi Mu National Headquarters staff and Chapter Consultants. Kappa Delta will be moving from Urbana to Chi Psi fraternity’s current house at 110 E. Armory Ave. in Champaign after occupying the Urbana location for 92 years. Adrian McLaughlin, President of the Sigma Omicron Chapter of Kappa Delta and junior in advertising, wrote by email that the women will miss the old house because it has a lot of character with an open courtyard, stained glass and big green doors. Kappa Delta plans to incorporate some of these characteristics in the new location. “Altogether, this whole process has been going on for several years, looking at new locations until we

could find the perfect one,” McLaughlin said. “But I know all of the hard work is going to pay off when our members get to move into a brand new house and make amazing memories in it in 2018.” Phi Kappa Tau returned to campus this year and owns Theta Chi’s old house, which prompted Theta Chi to search for a new house after occupying that location since 2009. Theta Chi moved from its house in Champaign to a new location at 303 E. John St., which housed Sigma Kappa until they left campus in May. Jacob Hacm, president of Theta Chi and junior in mechanical engineering, said the new location is a positive change for active members. “The new location is perfect, honestly,” Hacm said. “It’s closer to Green Street, restaurants, bars and classes, so everyone loves it.” The new location is better for potential new members as well, Hacm said. “People aren’t turned away from the run-down house we used to have.” All three chapters expressed their eagerness to begin a new year on campus.

MEDIA he doesn’t think that these changing times should provoke feelings of job insecurity among faculty. “Thinking about all of these things, I think that creates a sense of a little bit of uncertainty and that can make people nervous,” he said. “I certainly think that we’re committed to — when we move ahead —

next step. “The manufacturer will send somebody to install them. We’ll get them up and running and see if everything matches up and then we’ll be operating,” Elmore said. “We don’t have a timeline right now, but we’re just waiting on pieces to come in from the manufacturer for the filtration system.” CRCE does not know when it will reopen. “It’s a waiting game; it’s a matter of whenever that piece comes in,” Elmore said. “I know

with the best plan possible.” Chodzko-Zajko will hold an assembly with the faculty and staff of the college on Sept.1 in order to understand how they think about the future. “I’m going to encourage them to be forward thinking, to think about the future and to think positively about everything we need to do to make our programs even better than they are right now,” he said.

T.I.S. an increase in traffic this week. “We have worked out a process so that we can serve customers in the most efficient way possible,” he said. “We have added register lanes and used a new queuing system this fall, which we will adjust after construction is complete.” Kelly Zhagui, senior in LAS, said she typically buys books from the Illini Union Bookstore and did not realize T.I.S. was closed. “I actually saw the line shorter last year,” she said. “It’s never gone around the whole store like this.” Textbooks sales cycle and shift for many reasons Kevin Theile, a T.I.S. representative, said. Consumer buying trends such as ordering books online from sites like Amazon, students sharing books or not purchasing books altogether, can also have an affect on textbook sales, he said. While he said T.I.S. has not experienced all those factors at the University, it no longer made financial sense to carry textbooks. But the store will stay open to sell collegiate apparel and merchandise. “T.I.S. College Bookstore

loved serving U of I student textbook needs and we were privileged to do so for 25 years,” Theile said. “We strived to serve our customers well, paying close attention to students, parents, faculty and staff alike.” T.I.S. Bookstore, located at 707 S. Sixth Street, also has an Illini Shop at the Marketplace Mall in Champaign. And it’s not the first bookstore to turn to general merchandising. Follett’s Bookstore, which opened in 1938, stopped selling textbooks in 2010 and later closed in 2013. The bookstore was located on the corner of Wright and Green, where Panda Express is now located. The company originally scaled back to only sell high volume textbooks for general education classes, such as Chemistry 100, but the store eventually stopped selling books altogether. In a previous interview with The Daily Illini in 2013, T.I.S. Store Manager Brian Paragi said the store has felt pressure from competition in book sales over the years, specifically with online retailers affecting them the most. Due to the pressure, T.I.S. scaled down the size of its store location from two floors to one. Some professors create course packets for purchase

at Notes and Quotes, a store on John Street, but the Illini Union Bookstore is the only shop for physical copies of books in Campustown now. “T.I.S. has long enjoyed being part of the Champaign-Urbana town and retail community and we look forward to continuing business in this same spirit but with a different product mix and even larger Illini fan focus,” said T.I.S. CEO Tim Tichenor in a statement. Mitch Foster, sophomore in AHS, said he thinks the Union is a fine bookstore other than the long lines. “Obviously having one bookstore on campus would affect business,” he said. “It’d be nice to have another, but I feel like this rush is just a one-time thing. It’s not a big deal for me.” Jennifer Disalvo, freshman in LAS, said she has gone to the bookstore multiple days and Monday had the longest lines. “Even downstairs there’s just not that many people at the counter,” she said. “And they got calls so they have to take that, but I guess they’re doing it the best they can, especially with the other one closing.”

We are like the stepchildren of the floor and ‘the people that are in that one room with four beds.’” He said people have come and knock on the door, exclaiming “oh, you’re the people that live here!” and they want to look around the room. On each side of Barker’s room are two large white boards and a metal cabinet doubling as an extra closet. They are allowed to write on the boards, which is an extra perk he said. He originally had three roommates, but is now

down to two after one left the University. While none of the roommates know how long they’ll be in temporary housing, Barker said luckily they all get along great and, the rooms are larger than regular rooms. “I have no idea if I’ll still be in the Six Pack or in the Ikenberry, which I’d like to be permanently,” he said. “I’d like to even still be in Hopkins, but they haven't really been vocal about the situation.” Sealine said the addition of Wassaja Hall allowed the University to add 492 beds to the overall occupancy, which helped them have more flexibility. The University uses both preferred and non-preferred temporary housing spaces. Preferred spaces are lounges with win-

dows that used to be used as large group rooms but were later converted into lounges for the floor. Four to six people can stay in these lounges. Non-preferred spaces are lounges that do not have exterior windows, preventing natural light from coming in. There are no students in non-preferred temporary housing this year, Sealine said. “An interesting dynamic is that we start thinking about where we are going to live next year as early as October,” Sealine said. “So, we are planning about 18 months in advance at any given time. We are already starting the planning process for next fall.”

University alumnus flies into Champaign on China’s first solo flight around the world BY JOSEPH LONGO ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

China is attempting its first solo flight around the world and in the cockpit is University alumnus Dr. Bo Zhang. On Wednesday, Aug. 17, Zhang flew into Willard Airport in a propeller-driven aircraft. Zhang departed Beijing on Aug. 7 and will travel through seven countries. Willard Airport is one of 30 stops along the 25,000 mile journey. Zhang prioritized the firstever flight around the Silk Road in China. The Silk Road is an ancient network of trade routes connecting Asia to Europe and Africa. In recent years, China has reincarnated the famed route through the One Belt, One Road Initiative connecting modern-day European and Asian economies. “In my plan I will retrace the ancient Silk Road to fly over the five central Asian countries,” Zhang said. “In that way I can both experience the shock from

the ancient civilization and witness the development and the changes along the new Silk Road.” 2016 has been a year of milestones in Chinese aviation. In June, China flew its first Chinesebuilt passenger jet, the Comac ARJ-21, from central China to Shanghai, and now Zhang’s trip is China’s first attempt at a solo flight around the world. The task has previously been completed more than 350 times. Since flying to Champaign, Zhang has made stops at Washington D.C., the Key West, Florida, Charleston, South Carolina, Manassas, Virginia and Farmingdale, New York. Zhang received both his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in agricultural engineering from the University. He is also a former Alumni Association board member.

But the rebranding of T.I.S. is a bigger problem for students than having to wait in line. Now that the Illini Union Bookstore has a monopoly on campus textbook sales, there is little stopping the store from raising textbook prices even further through the proverbial roof.

However, the sad truth is the current financial situation leaves both students and textbook providers with empty pockets.

During the 2015-2016 school year, college students attending public, four-year universities spent an average of $1,298 each on textbooks and supplies, according to the College Board. Students would have to work more than 157 hours making minimum wage to meet the average price of books. It also means that students would have to spend almost four weeks of their summer vacation working full time just to pay for their required textbooks. Not only does having just one bookstore monopolize prices, it also demands a significantly higher amount of time spent to buy books.

iking at Starved Rock State Park is a beloved summer activity and this summer, I had the opportunity to bask in the waterfalls and overlooks the trails have to offer. My biggest surprise, however, wasn’t the hidden gems. It was the countless bottles and wrappers thrown carelessly on the trails. The juxtaposition was a harsh reminder that even given the opportunity, humans refuse to coexist with the environment. In fact, volunteers hike every week to fill multiple garbage bags of trash left behind by careless hikers. The reality is ironic: Hikers have the chance to enjoy a quaint and diverse nature preserve, but, in traditional human fashion, feel no responsibility to uphold what makes it so charming — the seemingly untapped nature of the trails. Starved Rock is not the only victim of abuse from tourists. Anyone who went to Country Thunder, Lollapalooza or North Avenue beach this summer knows the damage that can be done in a short amount of time. Memorial Day weekend was a particular disaster — hundreds of suburban kids made their ways down to North Avenue beach, only to leave it completely

trashed with the remnants of their partying. Mark Brown, assistant director of landscaping for the park district, said he had “never seen it look like that, ever.” A lot of us beach and festival-goers came back to campus this week, and it’s important that we don’t take the University’s outdoor areas for granted as we do our various summer destinations. The Main Quad is great until you’re sitting next to a squirrel digging through the crumbs of a Doritos bag. Of course, the solution to this problem seems simple: Throw away your garbage. The beaches downtown have plenty of garbage cans, and thankfully the Memorial Day mess was picked up by the next day. But the problem is not due to inconvenience — it’s a lack of regard and sense of responsibility from party-goers. Festivals like Lollapalooza epitomize the ironic reality of the way we treat our environment. During those last few days in July, you can scroll through endless pictures and snapchats of the Chicago skyline, the lakeshore, and Buckingham Fountain. Everyone seems to show an appreciation for the city, but apparently not enough to throw away their Lou Malnati’s boxes in one of the dozens of trash cans scattered around Grant Park. But Lollapalooza stands out because of its new efforts to reduce the inevi-

table litter. For example, their Rock and Recycle program gives concert-goers the chance to pick up recyclables off the ground in exchange for a t-shirt. The festival also provides CamelBak filling stations to encourage people to refill their water bottles instead of throwing them away or on the ground. Brittany Pearce, a spokeswoman for Lollapalooza, told the Chicago Tribune that festival workers collected 132.4 tons of recycled and composted material during 2015’s three-day festival. If the University implemented similar incentive programs, the campus wouldn’t suffer so much from the smell and sight of beer cans and food wrappers every Sunday morning. In addition, adding more bottle-filling water fountains to the campus’ older buildings would not only be convenient, but encourage the use of reusable water bottles. It’s unfortunate that people need an incentive to keep the areas they use clean, but Lollapalooza proved that it works. That said, we shouldn’t wait for the University to take initiative; students have to recognize their responsibility to our beloved campus. For now, a rule of thumb: Don’t treat our campus like your personal Country Thunder campground.

may not be home again for a year, and that reality is starting to hit hard,” a friend said to me. She was worried about the coming school year, and it’s easy to understand why. It’s not every day you leave your friends and family in Washington to travel over halfway across the country and go back to school in Milwaukee. Being from the Chicago suburbs and attending the University, I couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty for any time I became homesick at school. Clearly, my displaced friend had a lot to deal with in comparison. For those of us attending the University, the time has come again to grind through difficult academic coursework, stress over exams, worry about anything and everything and occasionally have the primal flight response to our ever increasing stressors. Many of us just want to go home … Home. In the heat of the moment, it seems to be a sacred place where nothing can harm us, and we have nothing to worry about. But what makes home such a safe haven? Maybe it’s the familiarity, down to the very last detail on your parents’ mantel piece. Or perhaps it’s a sense of community, the idea that you’re surrounded by people that you love and trust. It could also be a place where you never feel lonely. Whatever it is that defines “home” to a person, there seems to be an overarching idea that helps elaborate this topic: You make your home wherever life takes you. Although this isn’t a very revolutionary idea,

I wish someone had explained it to me when I was a new student. It wasn’t until well into the second semester of my freshman year that I realized I needed to make this campus my home. For me personally, making the bold move from Mom and Dad’s house into the world was exciting at first, until I realized that I was missing something that

Whether it’s joining a club ... or committing yourself to your career, having a sense of belonging gives a student a strong sense of purpose. seemed irreplaceable. Throughout my first year at school I came across a few ways to truly make any place my home. Give yourself a sense of belonging. Whether it’s joining a club on campus or committing yourself to your career later in life, having a sense of belonging gives a student a strong sense of purpose. If you are invested in a team with a common goal, I can assure you that your sense of belonging will greatly contribute to developing your new home. Surround yourself with people who care. Nothing stifles the feeling of being at home like a bad attitude, and conversely, nothing contributes to the feeling of being at home like positive energy. As a freshman, finding selfless and

caring people feels like a huge challenge; however, they are often in plain sight. Do what you can to talk to others around you and avoid being too reserved; you will be surprised how quickly frequent communication will help you feel at home. Lastly, bring a little piece of your original home with you. This last tip is open to interpretation. Maybe a piece of home for you is pictures of friends and family. Or it could be your favorite book from when you were in grade school. Any number of relics from your past can help ease you into your new home. When it hits the fan and responsibilities are piling up endlessly, this piece of your old home should put you at ease, or make you slightly more comfortable in this unfamiliar place. Explicitly stated, making a new place your home is easier said than done, but it will always be worth the effort. The more proficient you are at transitioning into new settings, the more flexible and worldly you will become, and before long, the entire Earth will seem a little bit smaller. As for my friend, I have no doubts that she will transition seamlessly into her life in Milwaukee once again. As someone who actively practices the ideas discussed above, her year away from home won’t be nearly as difficult as once anticipated. However, I try to let her apprehension remind me that we are always going to be terrified of leaving the places we call home. It isn’t until you take the step out the door you have grown so familiar with and make yourself known to the world that you can finally begin living your life.

Before and after a year at the University BY EMILY SCOTT

To read The Daily Illini’s interview from last year, visit bit.ly/2bGsTxM

STAFF WRITER

The Daily Illini interviewed a group of freshmen at the beginning and end of the 2015-2016 school year to talk about how the year went. Here’s what they had to say about their favorite memories, what they learned and what they’d tell their freshman selves. Responses have been edited for clarity and length.

DI: Do you think you’ve changed over the past year, and if so, how? AJ: I really don’t think that I’ve changed a lot . . . I’ve definitely grown as a person, I think I’m probably a tougher person. But I don’t think

that I’ve been much different. DI: What is your favorite memory from your freshman year? AJ: Studying abroad in the Dominican over the winter. Editor’s note: During the spring semester of Abrielle’s freshman year, she joined Illini Media. Her interview is a follow-up to a previous article written before Abrielle joined Illini Media. In the interest of continuity, she was included in this article.

dent person when I was a kid, but you never really know how it feels to kind of be alone and all on your own until you go to college. You have to do stuff alone, you have to get sick on your own, so I think that was a big challenge — being sick and not having your parents there.

Jerry Li on move-in day, what would you say? JL: Buy boxes, you’ll need them for move out.

Hometown: Vancouver, British Columbia (originally from Shenzhen, China)

DI: Do you think you’ve changed over the past year, and if so, how? JL: I felt like I’ve gotten lazier over the past year. Suddenly there’s so much freedom — I just slacked off. When I was in high school I was like, oh, I have to get ready for university, I have to study. Now I’m in university and I slacked off a lot more.

The Daily Illini: What did you enjoy most about your freshman year? Jerry Li: I went to a bunch of places with my friends. We went to Alaska, Los Angeles — we saw the Northern lights. So these trips were what I enjoyed the most about freshman year.

Hometown: Wauconda, Illinois Major: Specialized Chemistry

DI: If you could tell your past self one thing on

move-in day, what would you say? JB: I would say, don’t let anyone else dictate your actions, and make decisions for yourself. DI: Do you think you’ve changed over the past year, and if so, how? JB: Yes, I’ve definitely changed a lot. I have learned to be more tough and more blunt. I’m usually the nice girl and slightly passive, I’ve definitely grown to say what I think a lot more . . . and stand up for myself in that way. I’ve also learned to be a lot more independent, do what I want and make decisions for myself.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Daily Illini: What is your favorite memory from your freshman year? Jen Behrens: I joined a sorority and that has definitely had a big impact on my freshman year. It’s been a very positive experience . . . Also, I got 100 percent on my last Calculus 2 exam. That’s a good memory because I’m very proud of myself for that.

DI: Describe your freshman year in one word. JB: Eye-opening. That’s in many ways. My academics are hard, and that’s kind of humbling, and that’s eye-opening to me because I went through high school without having to study and got straight A’s. Also, I went to a Catholic private school my whole life. Because of that, I haven’t been exposed to much diversity . . . but coming here I’ve been very happy with the diversity I’ve seen and the different viewpoints I’ve heard from people.

DI: Describe your freshman year in one word. JL: Different. It’s much different than

DI: If you could tell your past self one thing

what I expected. Academic wise, there’s a lot more coursework for you to handle on your own, and you have to take more initiative . . . as opposed to when in high school, the teachers would see that you’re struggling; they’ll come over and help you. Socially wise it’s also very different. There’s a lot of stuff to do at the University, so it’s like, “Do I want to do this? Do I want to do that?” Because there’s so many people. It feels harder to make friends as compared to high school where you’re always with this group of people, you see them every class every day.

New dessert rolls to Green Street BY SARAH KATS STAFF WRITER

As the night of the fi rst day of classes set upon campus, students crowded around a wall of glass panels to watch employees preparing a dessert that has garnered more than 9,000 Instagram posts: traditional Thai ice cream rolls. Opened at 508 E. Green St. over the summer, 8°F Ice Cream & Crepe is the fi rst store to offer rolled ice cream on campus. The ice cream shop replaced Koto Ramen. Although the store’s s l e e k , b l a c k t i l i n g remains the same, it is now j u x t a -

posed against a primary color scheme with bright, yellow tables and a row of ceiling lamps, which match the ice cream rolls in 8°F Ice Cream & Crepe’s logo. “[8°F is] a casual spot with a nice location,” said Anya Sharma, junior in LAS. “The bright color scheme and fun menu is also a nice aspect of the experience.” Pictures on Instagram were what initially brought Apoorva Gupta, junior in Engineering, to try the photogenic treat. Others like Varun Bahl, senior in Engineering, fi nd the experience of watching the cream poured on the ice-grill and rolled into the fi nal product a major reason to pay the visit. The name of the ice cream shop comes from the temperature at which

ice cream freezes, 8°F. “You can see them roll the ice cream and put toppings, which is something you don’t see around here very often,” Bahl said. Timothy Le, senior in ACES, was drawn to 8°F Ice Cream & Crepe because of his Vietnamese heritage and commitment to trying new restaurants. “Because this is exclusively an Asian dessert and Champaign-Urbana isn’t known for its Asian sweets, I was surprised when this place opened,” Le said. “This was the fi rst thing I wanted to try since I’m also a foodie and like to try new foods often.” From fl avors like Matcha Lychee to Golden Cheesecake, the ice cream can be customized with a variety of fl avors and toppings that make each creation orig-

inal and fresh. The sweet and savory handheld crepe menu and the wide array of smoothies to complement, it’s no surprise that some students fi nd the new cafe to be a perfect gathering spot. “It has something that just tastes really good to me,” Le said. “Most of their ingredients, you could see at an Asian restaurant. The ice cream itself is soft but also creamy and not too overly sweet and with the fresh fruit mixed in with, it gives it a refreshing fl avor.” Le said a reason to try the rolled ice cream is that “it’s defi nitely a different texture. It’s not as creamy as traditional ice cream, and it melts in your mouth instantly.”

Illini Drone Club reaches new heights on campus BY LILLIAN BARKLEY FEATURES EDITOR

Students exploring Quad Day may have noticed an unusual booth between Noyes Laboratory and the Chemistry Annex: a large black cage, 10 cubic feet, surrounded by people waiting for their turn to fly the five drones contained inside. Illini Drone Club hosted the interactive opportunity from noon to 4 p.m. on Quad Day. The club garnered 300 new sign-ups, adding to the 102 members currently following the club’s Facebook page. “It’s been a slow build, I guess as all clubs have, but I think it’s been a lot quicker than most,” said Max Goin, founder of the club and University graduate from Molecular and Cellular Biology. “It’s an interesting and cool thing, and definitely very engineering and science-related, which we definitely have a lot of students in those fields here, so that’s kind of helped us out a bit.” Goin created the club in 2014 after noticing a lack of safety from people operating drones on campus. “I did see people mishandling them,” he said. “One of my goals was to kind of teach people basically how not to be an idiot.” The club has to stick to certain regulations, including not flying over people,

staying under 400 feet and not flying within five miles of an airport, Goin said. The nearby location of Willard Airport, plus the campus population, can make it difficult to find a safe space to fly. “Our No. 1 priority is safety,” said Benjamin Khachaturian, club president and sophomore in FAA. “It’s very serious, and we understand that it’s a big topic.” Part of the concern surrounding drones is that people are uncomfortable with them, partially because of the association with military use, so another goal of the club is normalizing drones, Khachaturian said. “I think that as drones have become more immersed in our culture and our lives, we see them solving so many different problems that they have become more acceptable,” he said. “Our goal is to make people more comfortable with drones because it is inevitable that they will be part of our future.” The Quad Day booth allowed anyone unfamiliar with drones to take a picture, learn more about the different uses for drones and fly a drone with the help of an experienced pilot. “Even if they’d never flown before, we had a system set up so that one of our members was their co-pilot, and our member had prior-

That just made it worry free for the person trying to fly for the first time,” Khachaturian said. Goin, who was “buddyboxing,” said flying at Quad Day had another benefit. “People can try it out, and really the point is to see whether or not you like it,” he said. “You get to practice on someone else’s dime, which is nice. When I fi rst started, I broke a lot of things, so it would have been nice to not break my own things, you know?” Getting into drones can be an expensive but worthwhile hobby, Goin and Khachaturian said. Goin became

interested in the hobby after watching a video of two drones racing through a forest in France. “I was like, ‘Huh, that’s pretty cool,’ and within a week I had spent an ungodly amount of money purchasing all this stuff to start, and I qualify it as one of my best worst decisions financially and overall,” he said. Khachaturian, who estimated owning five to 10 drones, said spending money on drones is “like buying shoes.” The drone club is accessible to new members who are unsure about how invested they’ll be in the hobby and don’t own a drone yet. “What we really want is

just a small fleet of things for people to fly that don’t own them themselves, because a lot of people are college students and they can’t really afford to go out and purchase a several-hundred-dollar quad copter,” Goin said. “It is really quite expensive to get started into the hobby, and then once you get started it gets a lot cheaper, but it’s kind of – there’s a huge startup cost, so it’s a big barrier to entry.” Though many of the club members have drones they are willing to share, the club will be able to provide more equipment this year because of a sponsorship with Hobbico, which also donated the cage and some of the drones for Quad Day. Hobbico, the largest U.S. distributor of radio-control and general hobby, also has its corporate headquarters based in Champaign. “They have been really great to us,” Khachaturian said. Goin added that the club had been looking for sponsors for a year, and “Hobbico’s the first to really step up.” Sean Vig, club member and sixth-year physics Ph.D. student, said the increased interest from hobby companies as well as from students was one of the biggest changes he noticed since the club started. He said the variety of interests has also

increased. “The way drones are taking off as a consumer product means the hobby has much more visibility than it did even just last year,” Vig wrote via email. “Hopefully that triggers additional interest as we kick off this year with the club. There are also a lot of things that can be done with drones that aren’t yet well represented in the club.” Drone enthusiasts use them for racing, cinema and photography while also improving the technology to issues like transporting medical supplies and assisting search and rescue teams. The drive to solve issues in the world is Khachaturian’s favorite aspect of his hobby. Though the club doesn’t have an official meeting time scheduled, Khachaturian said anyone interested in joining the club should contact him or follow the club’s Facebook page. “One of the biggest benefits to the club have been meeting people that are familiar with the RC hobby and building and flying drones,” Vig wrote. “A close second most important aspect of the club is having a close network of people to fly with. Flying around with friends is way more enjoyable than flying alone.”

Illinois head football coach Lovie Smith talks to reporters during Media Day at Memorial

Lovie’s recruiting pitch hits athletes outside of football believe him. You should too.

1. Aleks Vukic

A junior on the Illini men’s tennis team, Vukic came alive during his second season at Illinois, earning himself ITA All-American and first-team AllBig Ten honors. He compiled a 25-5 record in singles play last season, including a 14-4 record against ranked opponents. He’s known for his strong forehand and tremendous accuracy, but he’s also cool under pressure. He clinched a teamhigh five wins for the Illini last season, including an upset of the back-to-back NCAA champion Virginia Cavaliers. He knocked off third-ranked Thai Kwiatkowski in three sets to earn his team the victory. In two seasons at Illinois, he’s only lost one Big Ten singles match.

You’re going to start hearing the name Ke’Shawn Vaughn more and more. Couple Josh Ferguson’s departure with Dre Brown’s season-ending ACL injury, and you’re left with a heck of a lot of carries for the sophomore tailback. Lovie Smith likes to play an old-school brand of football. While he’s far from an offensive genius, his philosophy is to pound the ball on the ground to open up the passing game. After Ferguson hobbled through last season with a number of injuries, Vaughn was able to get his feet wet as a freshman. But, this year he’ll be relied on far more. The Illini ran the ball on just 43 percent of snaps last season. Expect that number to increase. Vaughn likes to get between the tackles which will be made easier with Smith deciding to employ a fullback in the offense. He’s not just a betweenthe-tackles carrier though, he has the potential to get into the secondary with

BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

The “Lovie Effect” is in full swing at Illinois, with the effects being felt all across campus. A day after recruit Trent Frazier made an appearance with Dee Brown at the final public day of training camp last weekend, the four-star guard verbally committed to the Illini men’s basketball team. Stepping on the Memorial Stadium turf was just one part of Frazier’s official visit, which included a one-on-one session with senior forward Malcolm Hill. The meet-and-greet with Smith at Memorial Stadium was the icing on the cake, especially for Frazier’s parents — the die-hard Bears fans were quick to embrace Smith and pose for some photos. Frazier even called his uncle who couldn’t make the trip from West Palm Beach, Florida, on FaceTime to share in the moment. These are the types of impressions Smith and his staff hope to make when it comes to their own recruiting. As of Wednesday, Illinois

has just nine hard commits for the 2017 season, all of whom are three-star recruits, and five of whom are in-state prospects. Thursday is a big day for this year’s class, with two Illinois targets, three-star defensive end Olalere Oladipo and four-star wide receiver Carmoni Green, expected to make their decisions. “We think we’re in pretty good shape,” Smith said. “We knew we were a little bit behind, and we just started sprinting trying to catch up, and we feel like we’ve done that. We have a good handle on who we want. We have a few commitments and may get a few more before the season starts. But we’re in great shape right now, about where I wanted us to be.” Following Thursday’s announcements, there may not be much more recruiting noise until next year’s evaluation period. With the recruitment window closing rapidly — Oladipo is one of the top remaining in-state prospects — and the conclusion of training camp, Smith’s focus has shifted to the season. “This coming Sunday, we

get into a true game week,” Smith said. “So we have a couple additional days, and we have a few things we normally do gameplan-wise for this week, which is no different than in the NFL when you go to the final preseason game; you’re really thinking ahead to the next week. That’s where we are, and Murray State is definitely on my mind.” With the season opener against Murray State right around the corner, Smith has made it a point for the team to have a few days off before the grind of the regular season. There was no practice Monday, so players could ease into their class schedules. The team will have another day off Saturday. “I’ll probably just sleep in,” redshirt-freshman offensive lineman Gabe Megginson said. “I feel like I’ve got to catch up (on sleep) for a couple weeks now. You get to a point, especially with camp and then just rolling right into the season, you’re pretty drained emotionally and physically. But once the season fires up, people kind of gain it back and adjust for the season.”

2. Isaiah Martinez

Martinez is the most dominant athlete on campus, and the two-time national champion may end up being the greatest athlete in Illini history. Yep, you read that right. Wrestlers don’t often get the same recognition as a lot of other athletes on campus — and Illinois probably won’t end up building a statue of him — but, if he continues his success, there’s no reason he can’t be in the conversation for “greatest Illini ever.” My favorite Isaiah story comes from my freshman year. I was covering the team, and he was gearing up for his redshirt-freshman season. In an interview with the unranked

explosive speed as well. He can do it all.

Illini affair at United Center to take over BTN primetime BY MIKE GASICK ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

The Big Ten Network has decided to televise the State Farm Chicago Legends men’s basketball doubleheader Dec. 17. The two games will take place at the United Center in Chicago. The State Farm Chicago Legends event, according to its website, “celebrates Chicago’s rich basketball histo-

ry by recognizing those who made it legendary.” Its website further says that the doubleheader is a way to recognize teams with local connections that also possess storied traditions. Illinois will be a part of the inaugural event, taking on BYU at 8:30 p.m. The two teams last faced off in 1980, resulting in a BYU win. The Cougars failed to

make the NCAA tournament last year, while the Illini have missed the past three years. Illinois has made the trip north to the United Center in recent years, yielding wins to UIC in 2013 and 2015 and a loss to Oregon in 2014. Northwestern will take the court against the Dayton Flyers at 6:00 p.m.

VOLLEYBALL

Regular season begins with annual Illini Classic JAMES BOYD STAFF WRITER

This weekend, all of the Illinois volleyball team’s preparation for this upcoming season will come to fruition during the Illini Classic at Huff Hall. Illinois will play Arkansas to begin non-conference play Friday, before facing Xavier and Missouri State in a doubleheader the following day. Despite the quick turnaround, head coach Kevin Hambly doesn’t think that it will have a negative impact on his team. “No match is as hard as any of our practices,” Hambly said. “We work way harder, in every single practice, every single day, than we would ever do in a match. I think we’re prepared physically to handle that. The girls are used to playing five matches in a day with club (volleyball).” Hambly admitted that the physicality of collegiate volleyball is a lot more taxing than high school or club

volleyball. But with several hours between Saturday’s matchups, Hambly said that his staff will make sure each player is taken care of. The start of the 2016 season also serves as a milestone moment for many of the Illini. Freshman Jacqueline Quade will record her first career stats in front of Illinois’ home crowd. The only other time she’s played competitively at Huff Hall was less than one week ago at the annual Orange and Blue scrimmage. Hambly said the 6-foot2 outside hitter had a few early miscues, but she still managed to lead the Illini with 21 kills on the evening. “It’s a lot different to play in front of a crowd,” Quade said. “High school volleyball isn’t as big as volleyball is here, so it was kind of hard to get adjusted to at the beginning. (It felt) like everyone was watching. But it was really fun to get to AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI

BASKETBALL

Who will Groce add next to his elite class? Tilmon in July. The most recent commitment came from point guard Trent Frazier this past weekend. So who is the “next man up” for the class of 2017? There’s a chance that 6-foot-7 small forward Abu Kigab might be that man. Kigab, a four-star recruit, is the 90th ranked player overall and the 20th best small forward. He’s scheduled to visit Champaign the weekend of Sept. 16. The forward from Napa, California, has a knack for attacking the boards and has demonstrated an impressive passing ability for a player of his stature. Kigab could be a suitable replacement for senior forward Malcolm Hill. Hill’s shoes will be hard to fill: he led the Illini in scoring this past season, shooting about 43 per-

MATTHEW GERTSMEIER Illini Hoops Columnist

The phrase “next man up” is one that the Illinois men’s basketball team is used to hearing by now. It’s almost become head coach John Groce’s motto after the last couple of injury-plagued seasons. That “next man up” mentality could also apply to Groce’s recruiting tactics; the Illini currently have the No. 3 ranked recruiting class of 2017 in the country according to 247sports.com. The first signing was three-star guard Javon Pickett in January, followed by Illinois legacy DaMonte Williams a month later, and five-star center Jeremiah

cent from the field. Kigab’s streaky shooting will need to vastly improve if he hopes to have a similar impact. One cause for concern is recruiting predictions have Kigab leaning towards Oregon commitment. His other considered schools are California, UCLA, Tennessee and USC, according to his Twitter account. Kigab is scheduled for a visit to Oregon on Sept. 10 and California on Oct. 7. With a guard-heavy recruiting class thus far, the Illini will need to add some size beyond Kigab. Another potential recruit is Mayan Kiir. The power forward from Bradenton, Florida, is a three-star recruit and ranked No. 196 nationally. Kiir has narrowed his options to Illinois and Louisville. However, Louisville recently received a commitment from center Malik Williams, limiting roster space and a center position that could potentially have gone to Kiir. His raw athleticism and defensive presence are fairly similar to former Illini Nnanna Egwu. The potential duo of Kiir and Tilmon would be a defensive nightmare for opponents. Other potential bigs Illinois might be after are Victor Uyaelunmo and Jacob Epperson. Uyaelunmo is a highly sought-after four-

A tweet from his account on July 30 included Illinois in his topeight schools. Epperson is a unique case. The Australian native picked up a lot of interest in

July after a strong showing at the NY2LA Summer Jam Tournament. Illinois is one of nine schools that have offered Epperson, according to 247sports.com. After a few injury-ravaged seasons, it seems like

there’s light at the end of the tunnel for Groce and his strong recruiting class.

FOUR Closing thoughts

There are plenty of other athletes on campus who could have been mentioned in this conversation, which goes to show that Illini athletics are in a much better spot than many realize. This year will be full of story lines and many questions will soon be answered. How will the Illini fare under Lovie Smith’s leadership? Can Martinez make it three straight? Can John Groce turn the

Illini basketball team around after last year’s circus? And there are many more. The last year in Illini athletics was one for the books. Hopefully this year can be too, but for much different reasons. Maybe this will be the year Josh Whitman turns it all around — we’ll let the story play out, but that would be quite the tale. We’ll see.

VOLLEYBALL Quade’s family will be driving four hours from Fort Wayne, Indiana, to watch the highly recruited freshman make her collegiate debut. On the other end of the spectrum there is opposite hitter Naya Crittenden. After spending her first two seasons in Eugene, Ore-

gon, competing as a Duck, Crittenden will begin her final collegiate campaign. “I always joke with Kevin like ‘I wish I would’ve been here since freshman year,’” Crittenden said. “It hasn’t set in yet that I’m a senior. But it’s slowly coming on, because every practice to me matters. Everything that we do as a team matters. I can’t even wait to start traveling, because those bus trips and stuff, you’re not

going to get that again.” Crittenden said that she worked on her mechanics diligently all summer to become a more consistent hitter. She highlighted the fact that it would help her team, but also said it may help her transition into a professional career. The California native made it clear that despite looking ahead to her future playing days, she still wants to make some big things

SOCCER

Denley anchors Illini in consecutive wins

AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI

The Illini opened up the regular season with a pair of wins. BY CHRIS KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

Before classes began this fall, the Illinois soccer team already won its first two games of the year. This weekend brings the Illini their first real test with a road trip to face Missouri and Saint Louis. Illinois began the season Friday with a win over Morehead State and then beat in-state rival Illinois State on Sunday.

Senior goalie Michelle Denley anchored the net and managed a clean sheet in each of the Illini’s first two matches. In the game against Morehead State, she didn’t even need to make a save. The Eagles couldn’t manage a single shot in the first half, and only took three in the second. Denley’s efforts in the two shutouts earned her Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, the first weekly

award of her career. “It’s a win … There are certainly things we need to do better than we did them tonight,” Head Coach Janet Rayfield said after the Illinois State game. “The quality of possession and of our ball movement is going to be really important for us moving forward.” The Morehead State game showcased the Illini’s returning depth. Senior midfielders Sum-

mer Schafer and Alia Abu-Douleh scored the Illini’s two goals. Against Illinois State, senior midfielder Allison Stucky scored the game’s lone goal midway through the first half. The Illini’s efforts last weekend have them now receiving votes in the season’s first National Soccer Coach’s Association of America poll. They also rank 10th in the Great Lakes region.

Missouri started the season 1-1, beating Central Arkansas in a comeback win and falling to Iowa in overtime. The Tigers are led by head coach Bryan Blitz, the reigning SEC Coach of the Year. Last season Missouri finished second in the SEC, its best finish in the conference while allowing the fewest goals in program history. Many of the players who contributed last year have returned,

with the Tigers bringing back eight starters. Illinois will have to play a full 90 minutes against Mizzou. Against Illinois State, the Illini dominated the first half, but were outshot in the second and allowed the Redbirds a penalty kick. In the Tigers’ first win of the season, they went down 2-0 early but put up three unanswered goals in the second half. Saint Louis opened the season last Friday with

a 3-1 win against Kansas State. It outshot the Wildcats 24-7. The Billikens finished near the bottom of the Atlantic 10 conference last year, but they’ll bring back eight starters, including five seniors. However, they may still be finding their way early on after losing their starting goalkeeper and leading scorer from 2015. cmkenne2@dailyillini.com
