Barton-Lundgren cleared out for isolation spaces “There is not the immediate need right now for the utilization of these spaces,” Hamilton said. “We wanted to be proactive should the time come when students need the additional space.” Students were allowed two guests to assist them in the moving out process, but they had to figure out how to transport belongings to their new assigned dorm on their own. Sara Siddiqui, a freshman in AHS and former Barton resident, asked her family members to drive to campus in order to assist her in the process. Siddiqui was frustrated because the initial email asking their residents to move out was sent right before Labor Day weekend. This resulted in an automatic reply when the students raised their concerns about the short notice. “I just thought it was unprofessional that they ghosted us for the weekend,” Siddiqui said. “Even if they had stuck to the original plan, it would have been fine, but I wish they would’ve given us more notice from the beginning.” Even though students such as Siddiqui were frustrated, Hamilton stated that this move was necessary and the University was attentive to the students’ request for more time. She said that the University’s plans “have been forced because of COVID-19 to pivot many many times.” The University has also formulated more contingency plans to ensure campus safety if COVID-19 rates spike up, though Hamilton said they’re “currently unable to be shared with the public.” Hamilton said she is unsure if students from other dorms across campus will be relocated. The resident advisors of Barton-Lundgren have been reassigned to other halls across campus. The resident director, Allie Santiago, has been relinquished of her responsibilities over Barton-Lundgren and will focus on her other assigned hall, Taft.

Student dismissed for COVID violation Committee issues dismissal, violated policy not disclosed BY ALIZA MAJID AND AMRITA BHATTACHARYYA STAFF WRITERS
One student has been dismissed from the University for a COVID-related violation, student conduct officials confirmed on Thursday. The dismissal was issued by the Subcommittee on Undergraduate Student Conduct. The University has not disclosed which policy the student violated.
Like all University dismissals, the student may petition to return to the University at “an identified future semester,” Dean of Student Support and Advocacy Stephen Bryan and Student Affairs spokesperson Chantelle Thompson wrote in an email. This dismissal is different from the eight “interim suspensions” that have been issued to other students who’ve violated COVID-related policies. Interim suspensions are issued by the Chancellor. Students are granted a formal hearing with the appropriate subcommittee on student conduct, Bryan and Thompson wrote. “Such action is taken only in situations in which the student’s behavior puts the safety of the University community at risk,” they added. At the hearing, the proceedings are “limited to the question of whether contin-
uation of the suspension is necessary to avoid an obvious danger to the university community,” according to the University’s Student Disciplinary Procedures. The suspension period lasts until a “final decision” on the case’s outcome is reached, Thompson and Bryan wrote. Students can return to classes once their suspensions are lifted, but they must communicate with their colleges about appropriate academic procedures. For dismissals, a student must petition to the University to be readmitted, and there is no preliminary hearing. During a dismissal or suspension, a student is not allowed to enroll in any classes, nor can they complete their degree through the University. However, while students’ disciplinary cases are under
investigation, the students can still take classes, Bryan and Thompson wrote. Students have been reprimanded this semester for violating COVID rules such as “failing to wear masks or social distance, hosting dangerous gatherings without taking proper precautions, violating isolation and quarantine orders, ignoring communications from the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District and failing to comply with the testing requirement,” they added. Though the two-week stay-at-home order has been lifted, the University and public health officials continue to urge students to limit their in-person activities on campus due to the surge in cases three weeks back, said Awais Vaid, the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District administrator.

Around 100 Barton-Lundgren residents were granted a week-long extension to completely move out of their rooms before the University converted both dorms into student quarantine and isolation spaces. On Sept. 4, University Housing gave Barton-Lundgren residents until Sept. 13 to move out of the dorms entirely. A week-long extension was granted after students drafted an email sharing their concerns and frustrations about the decision, ranging from it being too short of a notice to the lack of an elevator to help carry their belongings out of the dorms, bringing the new move-out deadline to Sept. 20. Since the beginning of the year, Barton-Lundgren have been used as “secondary locations” for quarantining or isolating students within University Housing. Another 13 University dorms have wings dedicated to student quarantine and isolation. Universit y Housing spokesperson Chelsea Hamilton said that the University “ensured the safety of all residents in the building so there was no contact with general students and those in isolation” while the noninfected residents of BartonLundgren were moving out. The students were sent a preference form to indicate which residence hall they wanted to move to. A majority of the students were relocated into single dorms around the Ikenberry area and charged the same rate as Barton-Lundgren double dorms. At the beginning of the year, University Housing reserved 5% of their rooms for isolation and quarantine. Clearing Barton-Lundgren adds 132 empty rooms, bringing University Housing’s total quarantine and isolation spaces to 627. These spaces are only available to students with a University Housing contract. Hamilton said this move came from a concern about flu season approaching and coinciding with the COV- monaa2@dailyillini.com ID-19 pandemic.
Positive cases continue declining in fourth week BY ETHAN SIMMONS
New cases of COVID-19
NEWS EDITOR
UI’s fourth week of classes, yielded the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases since move-in week. From Sept. 12-18, 181 more people tested positive for COVID-19 for the first time from over 58,000 on-campus saliva tests. From Aug. 15-21, when most students moved back to campus, 192 new cases were identified from 47,000 saliva tests. Both weeks’ case counts pale in comparison to the first and second week of classes: 443 new cases in the week ended Aug. 28 and 895 new cases in the week ended Sept. 4. Since Aug. 15, 2,051 students, faculty and staff have tested positive for COVID-19 on campus from over 300,000 tests. University officials attribute the drop in new cases to the two-week stayat-home order issued by Chancellor Robert Jones on Sept. 2, when students were restricted to only essential movements. Week three of classes showed a promising decline: 340 new cases from 53,000 tests. At the beginning of each week, there is a bump in cases that University

As such, Mondays and Tuesdays typically yield the highest case counts of the week. In week two, 429 new cases were found in those two days. In week three, 150. Last week, there were just 85 new cases

The University suspended campus fraternity Delta Tau Delta after its members hosted a large party at the house on Thursday. Police responded to the scene at 9:17 p.m. after they were notified of the party. The large gathering violated University and city COVID-19 safety orders, which limit social gatherings to 10 people or fewer.
W hen the police arrived at the Delta Tau Delta house, they issued Thomas McDonagh, president of the chapter, with a City of Champaign notice to appear in court. McDonagh was cited for “endangering public health.” All of the other students present at the gathering will be referred to the discipline system put in place for COVID-19 violations on campus. Since the school year began, two campus fraternities — Pi Kappa Phi

and Delta Tau Delta — have been suspended for hosting large social gatherings. The Interfraternity Council said in an email, “it’s unacceptable that certain members of the IFC have not followed the COVID-19 policies set forth, and violators will be held accountable for their actions.” Once these incidents are filed about a fraternity in the IFC, the Office of Student Conflict Resolution calls for an investigation into the inci-
dent and is followed by a meeting with the representatives from the chapter. The IFC has “passed legislation banning all social events until it is safe to do so again as deemed by the state, Champaign-Urbana and the University,” in order to ensure the safety of the campus community and prevent these incidents from occurring again. hrr4@dailyillini.com

SHIELD team leader talks testing, new case decline Martin Burke stresses importance of student compliance BY DIANA ANGHEL ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The Daily Illini met with Professor Martin Burke of the University’s SHIELD team on Friday to discuss recent COVID-19 numbers and testing. After the two-week lockdown where students were only allowed to participate in essential activities, Chancellor Robert Jones sent a Massmail on Sept. 16 allowing the resumption of limited student activities. “While we can’t yet celebrate, you will be able to carefully and responsibly resume some COVID-19-limited versions of activities you all miss,” Chancellor Jones wrote in the email. The campus saw a significant decrease in new cases throughout the last two weeks. On Aug. 31, 230 new cases were declared on campus. The number of daily cases confirmed has continually gone down, with 27 new cases for Friday. What did the architect of the University’s testing program think of last week’s results? “We are definitely making progress thanks to some really smart choices and leadership from our students,” said Martin Burke, professor in LAS, and leading researcher for campus’s saliva testing. “We know that the overwhelming majority of them are doing a fantastic job and really trying to do their part.” The SHIELD team implemented three changes in order to stop the early spike in positivity rate on campus. First was the limitation of activities to only essential outings for two weeks. Second, the SHIELD team worked on a strategy to prioritize their testing so that the groups that needed the most testing could do so as frequently and fast as
possible. “We looked at all of the data, and over 95% of all of the cases that we saw since classes started were with our undergraduates,” Burke said. “We wanted to figure out how to prioritize undergrad testing as much as possible to really help drive down the cases.” Because of this, SHIELD has asked some undergraduate students that are living at hotspots on campus to get tested three times a week. All other undergraduates are still required to test twice a week, but graduate students, faculty and staff are now only required to test once a week. This focalization on the undergraduate students has decreased the lab’s load and has increased the pace at which results are being sent back.
“We are definitely making progress thanks to some really smart choices and leadership from our students.” MARTIN BURKE MEMBER OF UNIVERSITY’S SHIELD TEAM
The third change that SHIELD made to drive down the spread is launching SHIELD Team 30. This is a team that is responsible for contact-tracing and attempting to isolate those that tested positive within 30 minutes of their test result. The communication between SHIELD Team 30 and those who test positive happens with text messaging. These changes were implemented as defensive actions against illegal student behavior and early spreading. However, testing pace also plays a major role in stopping the spread. “Certainly, faster testing is better, there’s just no question about it,” Burke said. “The faster we test, the more effective we can be.”
That said, Burke believes that the choices among students are the primary factor of the increasing cases. He bases this on the fact that the locations at which parties or big gatherings have happened are the same locations that drive the highest numbers of cases. Off-campus gatherings have been a main driver for spreading COVID-19 on campus. While this poses a challenge for SHIELD to track and regulate compared to University Housing and Greek life, the team is actively keeping track of numbers as to which living situations hold the highest numbers of cases. On a brighter note, Burke said the campus community has gotten better and better at submitting saliva samples, decreasing the rate of invalid results. An invalid test means that the sample is hard to analyze; this may be due to the tester eating, drinking or smoking one hour or less before the test. Invalid and inconclusive results differ. An inconclusive test result can mean that one or two of the three COVID-19 genes were found in the sample, thus an additional test is needed. “Sometimes what could happen is we’re right on the edge of detection, where you barely see one of (the targets) and you don’t see the other two,” Burke said. However, Burke stated that the team is confident in the test’s accuracy. The saliva test performed well in studies compared to the standard nasopharyngeal swab test. “Our goal has been to maximize accuracy, that’s why we test for all three at the same time,” he said. “And that’s why we feel very confident when we report a positive, it is definitely a positive, and when we report a negative, we feel very confident it’s a negative.” Earlier this month, many students received an email after 48 hours of waiting for results. “If you provided a sample at the testing site, we are writing to inform you that unfortunately, an error occurred in either the delivery, receipt or processing of your specimen,” the

email read. This happened after Labor Day weekend, when an unexpectedly high number of tests were taken, and not as many lab workers were present. The samples were not lost, but rather there was a delay in results due to the circumstances, Burke said. If a test result takes more than 48 hours to be processed, an automated email is sent to the tester. The SHIELD team displays the seven-day new case positivity rate on its dashboard, where the amount of positive cases are divided by the amount of tests taken in the past seven days. This is a standard procedure when reporting on case positivity rate; however, the Illinois campus stands in a unique position because of the frequent testing that it is doing. This drives the denominator of the case positivity rate to
Three vehicles reported stolen in three weeks vehicles in off-campus areas, though it is not clear if the incidents are related to each other,” University Police Chief Alice Cary wrote in the safety notice. “While we do not have reason to believe these incidents present a threat to anyone’s physical safety, we felt it important to issue this notice in order to prevent similar crimes from occurring.” University Police encourage car owners to keep their vehicles locked at all times and encourage all to report any suspicious activities. Other tips police encourage community members to follow include to watch belongings, lock doors, hide valuables or bring them with you and be alert.
Three vehicles were reported stolen in Champaign over the past three weeks, according to a Campus Safety Notice sent to the campus community on Sunday. All three vehicles were repor ted stolen near Green and Sixth streets in Champaign. In at least one of the reports, the vehicle was left running and unattended, the safety notice stated. One vehicle was stolen on Aug. 30 near Green and Sixth streets. Another was stolen on Sept. 5 at 616 E. Green St., and the last one was stolen on Monday at 606 S.

This includes disinfecting practices and how much to limit social gatherings. University Housing has set aside 5% of their rooms specifically for quarantine or isolation purposes, spokesperson Chelsea Hamilton said. Student isolation and quarantine have slightly different procedures, Hamilton said. “Isolation is set aside for a student who has tested positive for COVID-19 and they are required to isolate for 10

potentially having issues with privacy concerns,” Burke said. “We’re just trying to strike the right balance.” In terms of expanding testing throughout our nation, the University has launched two University-run Organizations. SHIELD Illinois is a partnership with the governor’s office, IDPH and other Illinois partners to expand SHIELD’s testing capacity throughout the whole state, with testing centers all over the state. Secondly, SHIELD Team 3 is working towards expanding the testing out to the rest of the country and other countries. They are working with more than 35 universities across the country. “The students absolutely have to continue to make really smart choices about their socialization behavior, and then we will succeed,” Burke said.

be higher compared to others, since some individuals are testing two or three times a week. “We’re kind of in a unique situation because we are testing everyone so frequently, you have to put that into context,” Burke said. Burke said SHIELD is working closely with CUPHD on privacy regulations, such as deciding whether or not to publicly share localized campus hot spots, or dividing positive cases by demographics, regarding the elements of the University’s COVID-19 dashboard. The team is required to share all of the lab’s results with the Illinois Department of Public Health, which then shares that information with CUPHD. “If we start to show regional, even down to that level of resolution, there is always the risk that we start to cross over into

days,” she said. “They are not able to just test out of the system or test of isolation. And then they are released by CUPHD.” A student must quarantine when CUPHD contact tracers determine that the student had prolonged exposure to someone who recently tested positive for COVID-19. While in quarantine or isolation, students must stay in their room at all times except when they have to use the
restroom or pick up an item at the contactless doorway in their hall. Quarantining students may go to a testing site on the fifth day of their quarantine, but they must quarantine for 14 days total and cannot test out of it, since the incubation period for the virus can last up to two weeks. Quarantining students are held in separate wings from isolating students. The housing professional
staff communicates these safety regulations to residents when they first move into isolation and quarantine spaces, according to Hamilton. “But just like any rules within university housing, once we communicate, it’s really up to the student to then abide by those rules,” Hamilton said. The University’s sevenday new case positivity rate is currently at 0.32% and
has been steadily declining according to the SHIELD Testing Data. “It seems like communication and education with the administration, the city mayors and electorate officials is actually making a big difference and we are seeing cases starting to come down,” Vaid said. abhatt52@dailyillini.com alizam2@dailyillini.com

Protesters return to The Red Lion, KAM’s BY SALEM ISAF ASSISTANT DAYTIME NEWS EDITOR
“material change” that local protesters have achieved since beginning this summer. These included Urbana City Council voting to decrease the city’s police budget by about $120,000, the Unit 4 school district declaring racism a public health crisis and Unit 4 also allowing Black Lives Matter symbols within schools, which it previously had not. During this time, insults were hurled at the demonstrators from onlookers on the street, The Red Lion patrons and from inside the 212 East apartment complex. A large sign the protesters had been carrying, which read “Frats are the Virus,” was taken and thrown after being posed in front of for pictures by people uninvolved with the protest. Moving on from the intersection, the group continued down Green Street and stopped in front of KAM’s. By this point, KAM’s had closed and there were only workers left in the bar, but protesters still delivered speeches and chants. The group was flanked by University Police on First Street, who kept cars from turning onto the road. On their way back from KAM’s to Alma Mater, Ray and other protesters were stopped and engaged by people outside of the protest, who seemed to be intoxicated. An argument began, but protesters ended the interaction and moved on before it got hostile. The protest concluded after 10 p.m. with a speech from Ray in front of Alma Mater. “My ultimate goal is to get (The Red Lion and KAM’s) shut down,” said Ray.

Late Thursday night, demonstrators gathered around Alma Mater before protesting campus bars The Red Lion and KAM’s, along with their owner, Scott Cochrane. The protesters congregated around the statue beginning at 8 p.m., where they drew with chalk on much of the surrounding sidewalk. There, Taliah Ray, senior in LAS, spoke to the crowd about why she organized this protest, referencing a specific instance that she experienced at The Red Lion. This demonstration follows another from earlier this summer, also organized by Ray, and both demonstrations protested alleged racial discrimination by the two bars. Ray said that the target audience for this protest is the patrons of the two bars. “I definitely want their patrons to feel this,” Ray said. “I want them to know what they’re doing is not right.” At around 8:40 p.m., the demonstrators began marching down Green Street. Reaching The Red Lion, they stopped in the intersection of Green and South Third streets after University Police blocked the protesters from standing outside the front doors of the bar. While in the intersection, they chanted and had speakers take over and deliver speeches through a loudspeaker. One of the speakers was Drake Materre, a recent graduate of the University, who appeared at most of the protests in ChampaignUrbana throughout the summer and beginning of this school year. “The momentum is never-ending,” said Materre. “We’re gonna be out here. It’s a new time, a new day. The time for de-escalation is no more.” He went on to discuss the isaf2@dailyillini.com

Welcome center hosts Chinese Cultural Exhibition BY ROHIT JAMMU ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
The New American Welcome Center at the University YMCA hosted a welcome week in an effort to bring together organizations, communities, immigrants, refugees and long-time residents to build strong connections, strengthen communities and establish the importance of welcoming and inclusive places. The welcoming week is a global celebration that brings together immigrants and U.S.-born community members to get to know one another. On Saturday, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., the New American Welcome Center hosted an online Chinese Cultural Exhibition with a hope to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and create connections within the community. The hour-long event included piano performances, dancing and reflecting the deep lush history of Chinese culture.
The show featured talented piano students, ranging from elementary to high school from the Chambana Spirito piano club, performing a variety of Chinese music spanning multiple genres. Performances also included traditional Chinese classical and folk dances from the Champaign-Urbana Chinese folk dance clubs. The opening event was a dance to the song called the “Purple Bamboo Melody,” which is a folk song that is a tune of love that has been popularly adopted and used for Huju, or Shanghai opera. The song was composed to be simple, light, lively and pleasant to the ear and common in everyday life. It was performed by dancers Yanhui Mao, Yufang Sun, Chewchin Phua, Qi Li and Yue Li. Following the folk dance performance, the show featured a suite of five folk
songs from Yunnan. This suite showcases the characteristics and uniqueness of Yunnan’s folk music. The first piece in the suite was titled “The Young Lady of Tali.” The piece depicts a young lady from the city of Tali, waiting in contemplation by the riverside. The second piece was dialogue through the song, which depicts two parting lovers singing goodbye to each other. Both pieces were performed by Branden van der Donk, a 17-year-old student of Jing Hao, who will be attending the University of Southern California as part of the class of 2024. The third piece, titled “A Song of Riddles,” shows the humorous exchange between two young people telling jokes and guessing the answers to the riddles. The piece is light, jumpy and meant to be easy going. The piece was performed by James Yan, an 11-year-old in the sixth grade at Franklin
Middle school in Champaign. The fourth piece, titled “Mountain Song,” was composed to depict people singing on top of a mountain with the mountain echoing in response, akin to a conversation with the mountain itself. The composer utilized repeating patterns in different registers and octaves to signify the back and forth between human beings and their environment. The piece was performed by Maine van der Donk, the 16-year-old younger sister of Branden van der Donk. The fifth and final piece of the suite was called “Dragon Lantern Tune.” The piece aims to show the gleeful celebrations of the people when enjoying cultural festivals. The piece was performed by Jason Yan, a 12-year-old seventh grader attending Franklin Middle school. Yan’s increasing enthusiasm has been widely rec-
ognized when he won the first place in the 2020 Chicago international music competition. Following the suite of five pieces, there were several dances, namely “Liang Zhu” or “Butterfly Lovers” which is a popular ancient and tragic Chinese story that has touched the hearts of people everywhere for thousands of years. The performance was by the dancers Chewchin Phua, YanHui Mao, JunHui Xiao, Bo Liu, Qi Li, Weijia Tang, Lian Jin and Mi Yang. Some other dances that were performed included Tai Chi Kungfu Fan dance, which is a combination of martial arts incorporated into a dance. This form includes various movements from Chinese Kungfu and other non-martial art sources. The dance often uses hand fans in sudden, bold and elaborate movements. It was performed by

Qi Li, YanHui Mao, Qingmet Chen, Shuxia Zhao, Fangxiu Xu, Lison Zhang, Yue Li, Lian Jin and Weidong Xu. The show also featured numerous piano pieces such as a solo called “The Legend of Lan HuaHua” performed by Bridget Lu. The song is a well-known folk song in North-Western China. La HuaHua was forced to marry one whom she did not love. This tune shows Lan Hua Hua’s bravery in her protests against the forced marriage and the story of how she regained her freedom to control her own fate in the pursuit of true love. The final performance was a dance performed by Tracy Lin and Xiaping Qi in their cozy living room. The performance was a dance that was dedicated to mothers and attempted to invoke the image of lush and fertile grasslands of Mongolia. rjammu2@dailyillini.com

Science explains how pandemic slows time Students, faculty agree COVID-19 changes time perception BY MATT TROHER ASSISTANT LONGFORM EDITOR
When the pandemic hit the U.S. in full force back in March, it seemed as if everyone was fighting a battle on two fronts: one against the virus and one against time itself. Schedules were abandoned, calendars were ignored and people hunkered down indoors. During the first few weeks of lockdown, people commonly joked that the most useless purchase of 2020 was a calendar. The first months of lockdown seemed to drag on forever. Days seemed to blend together, weeks unfolding with no distinction between the weekday and the weekend. A lifetime of history happened while the typical person did nothing but stay in their house. And then, as lockdowns and restrictions began to lift, people would look back and say to themselves: “Where did the time go?” Benny Libman, fifth-year senior in Media, felt that the pandemic warped his sense of time, and several of his peers agreed as well. “The days go slow, but the weeks go fast,” Libman said. “Every day takes forever to get through on its own, but I can’t believe it’s September already. We’re all knocked off our routines, and we’re all sort of going through the same phenomenon of being stuck at home or social distancing.” The obfuscation of time throughout the pandemic can be attributed to the way we perceive time normally, and, in turn, how that sense of normalcy has been disrupted. Dr. John Hummel, a professor of psychology at the University, studies attention, perception and the processing of relations. Hummel offers an explanation as to why this phenomenon of warped time has occurred for so many during this time. “Our sense of time is basically organized around the events that fill it,” Hummel said. “Normally, our lives
KAITLIN MIKRUT THE DAILY ILLINI
are filled with events like going to work and whatnot that happens in specific times and at specific places. This structure organizes our memories of those events and when they occurred, but what happened when the COVID crisis hit, and we’re all social distancing and staying at home, is that all that spatial and temporal structure was just thrown out the window.” According to a recent survey by the Public Library of Science, a UK-based science journal, 80% of those who answered experienced changes to their perception of time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Hummel’s explana-
tion, coupled with this data, makes it clear that when typical spatial and temporal structures are removed from day-to-day life, the result is a complete restructuring of the way we perceive time. “Time becomes like this soup,” Hummel said. “There are little events floating around — like that time I dropped the glass in the kitchen and broke it, or that meeting with the committee or what have you — but they all happen in the same space with no clear spatial or temporal markers to distinguish them, so they’re hard to keep separate from each other, they just float freely in this undifferentiated temporal broth.”
With a majority of classes being online and only a few meeting in person, this school year poses a new question: How do students keep track of assignments and deadlines while time itself still feels warped? Kenzie Rutledge, sophomore in DGS, feels that the pandemic and online classes have made it harder to keep track of her weekly assignments. Rutledge has an asynchronous kinesiology class with quizzes every couple of days that take place during normal class times. “I’ve missed this quiz twice due to losing track of time. Thankfully my professor is very understanding and was
able to extend the deadline for me,” Rutledge said. Rutledge said her classes have forced her to reorganize her schedule, figure out when she needs to meet for class and determine when she has to complete assignments. She said there have been times she’s working on assignments for one class in the library, and she gets so focused she will miss another class she is supposed to sign on for. Rebecca Eng, junior in LAS, has noticed that although online classes have given some sort of temporal structure to her day, the nature of the classes makes it hard to focus.
“When I have classes, time passes a little faster,” Eng said. “In March, when we first had online classes, it was stressful so I’d nap all the time, and it seemed like the moment I got up there was a deadline I had to race towards. With online classes (this school year) I feel like I’ve been slacking off a bit on my assignments. It’s really hard without someone engaging you, it hard to engage with a screen and with their videos off. Even if you do zone out in (normal) class, there are still some social behaviors you are expected to conform to that kind of hold you accountable.” mtroher2@dailyillini.com

rom the inception of the United States nearly 250 years ago, the relationship between the federal government and its people has been at times strenuous, other times complementary. One of the deciding factors, if not the deciding factor, in determining that dynamic lies in the simple establishment of trust — or lack thereof. Investigative journalism has long been praised for being the gatekeepers between the public and government. As an essential part of a well-functioning democratic society, investigative reporters must provide truth and honesty to expose illegal or corrupt actions by trusted officials and hold those individuals accountable. A concerning reality of Donald Trump’s presidency is the endless public scandals he finds himself embroiled in, but an even more alarming truth is socalled journalists and public servants seeking opportunistic profit through withholding important information rather than broadcasting the news immediately to the people. American journalist, Bob Woodward, perhaps best known for his reporting of the Watergate Scandal alongside Carl Bernstein, has cemented himself as a premier figure in the field of uncovering major political scandals for the public. Woodward’s new book, Rage, is his latest report about what goes on in the highest levels of the United States government, particularly regarding Trump and his administration. It contains a series of interviews between the two, including one in which Trump admits the coronavirus is “more deadly” than the flu, a direct contradiction to his public statements likening the two. This interview between Woodward and Trump occurred in early February, yet this knowledge was released one week before the publication date

of his book, leading many to question Woodward’s motive behind withholding that information until an opportune moment. There should be no question concerning the implications of what his book reveals with respect to Trump’s deception around the severity of the virus and his consequent inaction, but these matters are tainted by the opportunistic nature in how it was released. Virtually all of Trump’s major scandals have happened in full public view, and many have seen this as an opportunity to profit off of his misgivings. John Bolton, the former national security adviser, did not testify in Trump’s impeachment trial, yet released a book detailing Trump’s willingness to stop criminal investigations in order to “give personal favors to dictators he liked.” It seems like just about anybody who has been in the White House during Trump’s presidency and was privy to important information waits until landing a lucrative book deal before telling all to

much more likely to ask you to hang out so they can see your pet. Many people miss their own pets from home, so being able to have contact with your pet can give them a little bit of comfort and maybe even a boost of serotonin. Having certain pets at college, such as a dog or cat, will give you a sense of security. My dog starts growling when he hears people walking past my door and talking too loud, which immediately alerts me when people may be near my home. An intruder would be less likely to break into my apartment with a barking dog than a silent one with no animals. Even a cat may be able to alert their owner of a potential intruder depending on the type of cat and if the owner notices such behavior cues from their cat that something is wrong. Overall, pets are a good addition to any home, including the apartment of a college student. For the well being of your social life, emotional health and general safety, consider becoming a new parent to a fuzzy friend. And remember — adopt, don’t shop! Marykate Green is a junior in Media.

The hospital itself also charges a ridiculous amount for treatment, so even if I’ve survived the Uber ride to the emergency room, I can still expect a hefty bill. Most embarrassing of all, the United States health care system is ridiculously discriminatory, especially to people of color. If you are a POC, especially a Black woman, you are more likely to experience more illnesses while also being less likely to receive treatment. Although the doctors themselves may not be outwardly racist, the system in and of itself is inherently and systematically racist. An anecdote from Dr. Monique Tello reads, “They treated me like I was trying to play them, like I was just trying to get pain meds out of them. They didn’t try to make any diagnosis or help me at all. They couldn’t get rid of me fast enough.” This awful experience is unfortunately, one held by many POC.

Passion, work ethic drive Frazier’s time at Illinois BY BRANDON SIMBERG STAFF WRITER
Throughout his four years at Illinois, Trent Frazier’s passion for the basketball program has never wavered. In an era where players transfer constantly, Frazier decided to stick things out at Illinois through the good and the bad. The West Palm Beach, Florida native certainly could have left the program. He was initially recruited by John Groce and his staff, before Groce was let go prior to the 2017 season. Frazier remained committed to Head Coach Brad Underwood and showcased his ability to score as a freshman, earning a starting spot for the last 16 games of the season. Frazier has started 60 of 63 games since then. Frazier had his best season as a sophomore, averaging 13.7 points per game on 40.6% shooting from deep. Despite his individual success, Illinois went 26-39 in his first two seasons. After a scorching sophomore year, Frazier easily could have bolted to another high-major program. Of the five-man 2017 recruiting class, only Frazier and Da’Monte Williams remain. The benefits of staying paid off, as the Illini went 21-10 last season and were on pace to make their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2013 before the season was cut short, though the Illini appear to be even better this season. “Having our season cut last year, knowing that run we had in the spring is very upsetting, but there’s a lot of excitement around this team right now,” Frazier said. “We’re very

excited to play basketball and get back to what we do.” Statistically, Frazier’s 2020 season was the worst of his tenure in Champaign. He had a career-low in points per game (9.84), assists per game (1.9) and three-point percentage (30.9%), but beyond the box score, Frazier made a huge impact. He became Illinois’ best perimeter defender, constantly tasked with guarding the opposing team’s best backcourt player. As a result,

Frazier had a career-best player impact plus/minus at +3.10. As a freshman, Frazier was asked to handle the load offensively. But when Ayo Dosunmu joined the Illini, his role shifted. Now, Frazier is comfortable as a defensive stopper, something he was not always accustomed to. “I don’t think I played defense before, until I got to college, until I got to play for Coach Underwood,” Fra-

However, the energetic guard says the team is not focused on the noise right now but rather on playing “Illinois basketball.” A deep postseason run would mean a lot for Frazier. He has experienced the highs and lows of college basketball while seeing his role switch from year to year. As much as it would mean to him, he
knows what it would mean to this program. “I think it’s a bigger piece for the program, knowing we haven’t been to March Madness in a while,” Frazier said. “Just knowing I was able to be a part of something special and be a part of a program where I helped change and rebuild to get Illinois basketball back to its greatest.” @BrandonSimberg simberg2@dailyillini.com

zier said. “My mindset now is whenever I’m guarding someone I literally don’t want them to score at all.” For Illinois to reach its potential, Frazier will need to use his sweet lefty shooting stroke on offense.

To some, redshirt sophomore Diana Brown might be labeled as over-competitive or too intense. After all, she models her leadership style after famous star athletes like Michael Jordan and LeBron James and has a selfdescribed “type-A” personality. To Illinois, however, her volleyball savvy and strong personality may be exactly what the team needs to get back on track after a down year in 2019. Brown’s redshirt season coincided with Illinois’ Final Four run in 2018, meaning she got to absorb a year’s worth of knowledge from a historic team before she even played a single college match. “My redshirt year did help me a lot,” Brown said. “I got to experience every gym environment that I could on the road (during) my freshman year. Playing last year, I wasn’t really nervous playing in front of the crowds or the venues or anything like that.” Being an accomplished high school player and having the experience from her redshirt year, Brown saw plenty of game action in her first season. Her production was relatively strong as a setter on the court, but mentally there were some growing pains transitioning to the college game. Early on, Brown struggled in high-pressure
A clean-shaven Lovie Smith and his football team are back, and hopefully for good this time. After weeks of being told a season would have to wait until the spring, Big Ten presidents came together and decided to bring back a fall season, giving their programs a shot to compete for college football’s top prize. Here’s a breakdown of Illinois’ revised 8-game schedule. Illinois opens up the year on the road against the Wisconsin Badgers, who the Illini stunned last year 24-23 on a last-second field goal. While the 31-point favored Badgers were caught off guard, they won’t be this year. Wisconsin, who start the season ranked No. 12, comes back with one of the best defenses in the country. If Illinois wants to pull off another upset, senior quarterback Brandon Peters and his wide receivers need to be in sync early. After Wisconsin, Illinois returns to Champaign to host Purdue and Minnesota, respectively. Illinois stuffed Purdue on the road last year 24-6, and the Boilermakers are set to take another step back with the unexpected
loss of wide receiver Rondale Moore. Minnesota, on the other hand, is stacked with a seasoned quarterback, redshirt junior Tanner Morgan, and a handful of wide receivers. Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck appears to have his Golden Gophers rowing the boat. Illinois then heads out to Piscataway, New Jersey, to take on their annual East Division opponent: Rutgers. For the fifth consecutive year, the Illini take on the Scarlet Knights, which appears to be the easiest game on their schedule. Rutgers, who finished 1-11 last season, rehired Greg Schiano, the winningest coach in program history. Schiano is inheriting a depleted squad, though, and Illinois should be able to overpower Rutgers with sheer talent. After Rutgers, the Illini will travel to Lincoln, Nebraska, to take on the Cornhuskers. Head coach Scott Frost has struggled mightily at his alma mater, going 9-15 in his first two seasons. Although his seat is not boiling hot, Frost desperately needs to show athletic director Bill Moos and the passionate fan base he is the man for the job. Despite Nebraska’s short-
comings, they have had Illinois’ number recently, winning four in a row against Smith. Senior linebacker Jake Hansen and the defense are going to have to contain Nebraska’s quarterback, junior Adrian Martinez, much better if they want to avenge the 42-38 loss last season. Waiting for the Illini in Champaign after the twogame road trip are the Ohio State Buckeyes, the threetime defending Big Ten champions and national title favorite. Last season, Ohio State won every Big Ten game by double digits, and this season shouldn’t be any different with junior quarterback Justin Fields anchoring an explosive and diverse offensive attack. If Smith wants to pull off the heist of the century, he may need a little Juice Williams magic from Peters. If the Illini are still in one piece after a visit from their Illibuck rival, Smith and company play host to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Although the Hawkeyes get the benefit of the doubt, they have lost talent from last season, including three-year starting quarterback Nate Stanley. Last year, Illinois had Iowa on the ropes before a
couple of late turnovers, losing 19-10 to the Hawkeyes. This appears to be a winnable statement game for Smith’s program if Peters can bring his A-game. The Illini finish up the regular season with in-state rival Northwestern on the road. Smith has been dominated by the Wildcats during his tenure, going 0-4. Last season, despite coming into the game 2-9, the Wildcats handled a bowl-bound Smith squad, 29-10, amassing over 300 rushing yards. In Illinois’ defense, Peters, Hansen and senior star wide receiver Josh Imatorbhebhe were out for the game; however, the effort was questionable as Smith treated it like a Week 17 game in the NFL. Although Illinois has more talent than its Evanston counterparts, expect head coach Pat Fitzgerald to have his boys ready. Finally, unless Illinois wins the West and plays in the Big Ten championship, the Illini will play a consolation game against an East division opponent. So if the Illini finish sixth in the division, they will face the East’s sixth place team, unless it results in a rematch. Likely opponents for Smith’s squad include Michigan State, Indiana, Maryland or maybe even Michigan if Illinois turns in a good season. Although this isn’t what the Illini expected, football will be played this fall. Before coronavirus, Illinois was looking at a cake schedule with Illinois State, Unversity of Connecticut and Bowling Green in the non-conference games. However, the pandemic had different things in mind, and now the Illini have eight conference games with no easy breaks — OK maybe Rutgers. Still, this is still Smith’s most talented team yet and the program’s since 2008. If Peters can stay consistent and the defense can continue to force turnovers, the Illini faithful can expect a fun and overachieving season.
situations. “She used to get a little worked up, which is so easy to do,” said senior teammate Megan Cooney. “I would say she’s learned how to be better in pressure situations. She’s a little bit calmer now. Last year towards the end of the season she did a great job bringing everyone in, calming everyone down before each point even if we were in a pressure situation. She did a great job toward the end of the season of getting out of her own head and reaching out to teammates, making sure that we’re all in it, we’re all ready for the next point.” A lot of Brown’s intensity comes from the serious club volleyball environment she grew up in. In her club volleyball days, Brown would do long drills, such as what she called “repping it out,” which meant practicing an action repetitively until she could do it with absolute precision. For example, in setting training she would often set upwards of 1,000 volleyballs in an hour and have each individual set critiqued by a coach. Understanding that not everyone shares her exact level of intensity was an important early lesson for Brown at Illinois. According to Brown, it was eye-opening to understand that many of her teamPHOTO COURTESY OF MICHAEL GLASGOW / FIGHTING ILLINI ATHLETICS mates came from different Junior Donny Navarro slips around a defender during football practice on Sept. 17.

FOOTBALL
Fans show excitement for fall season return BY JACKSON JANES ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Nov. 30, 2019, should have been a forgettable day in Illinois football history. As rain poured down on a cold fall day, an injury-ridden Illinois team limped into the final regular-season game against in-state rivals Northwestern with a bowl game berth already clinched. Ultimately the Illini fell 29-10, despite the Wildcats’ quarterback only completing six passes for 55 yards. No one expected that to be the last game at Memorial Stadium for nearly 11 months. Illinois will finally take the field at Memorial Stadium again on Oct. 31, this time with no fans and a global pandemic still affecting millions across the world. Resuming Big Ten competition was never going to be an easy task, and inconsistency and a lack of confidence from top conference officials in their initial decision always left the possibility of a fall season in play. Throughout the summer, Caitlin Basden, junior in LAS and Block I gameday chair, focused on planning for a season despite early rumors that the Big Ten would cancel their season. She says remaining optimistic helped her grapple with the idea of a fall without football. “Seeing all the (Illinois) players saying, ‘We should be playing right now,’ I think we all realized how much this sucks, but we still had a little hope,” Basden said. “There

was hope always there, but I think we knew what would happen would be the best for everybody in the end.” Block I made plans for the student section if fans were allowed in the stadium, including spaced-out, “podstyle” seating and alterations to the infamous halftime card stunts. Though students will not be allowed to attend games this fall, Basden ensured that the student section would be prepared for any situation. On Wednesday, 36 days after conference commissioner Kevin Warren’s first announcement that brought about the decision to cancel all fall sports competi-
tions, the Big Ten made a “I was just happy for the U-turn and opted to rein- seniors, the guys who have state football.

Hearing that the season would be returning “brought tears to Colton’s eye,” his dad says. “It really is because he has such a love for the guys,” Rahn said. “He never really understood why he was allowed to play flag football, even though he knows there’s a difference. He wasn’t sure why we could do it but a big league like the Big Ten couldn’t.” Like thousands of other diehard Illinois fans, Jason and Colton Rahn won’t be able to attend games at Memorial Stadium this season. For Tom Alvarez, Illinois alum and former Twitter moderator for Illini Barstool, watching from afar doesn’t matter much because he will always have great pride in the team. “There’s just a sense of pride when watching the team, especially for a school I love so much,” Alvarez said. “That’s one of the great things about going to a Big Ten school.” Basden echoed the pride of being an Illini, as she is always excited to sit behind the north end zone and cheer on her team. “Sitting in the stands, it’s kind of the same feeling as when I played sports in high school and my teammate did something good,” Basden said. “I’m just proud to go here and that’s my team on the field. It doesn’t matter what the score is; I know they worked their hardest and
gave it their all. That’s what matters.” Home games will feature no fans for the 2020 season, though Memorial Stadium will always be much more than just a stadium to Illini fans. For Colton, it’s his “home away from home.” “There’s always jokes made that if Colton ever got lost in Champaign, we would know where he would go,” Rahn said. With the release of the Big Ten schedule on Saturday, Illinois will take on Wisconsin at Camp Randall on Oct. 24, with the first home game coming against Purdue on Halloween. Though players won’t be greeted by a sea of orange and blue when they run onto the field, the Illini will still receive support from across the nation, as this year’s team is expected to be one of the best in recent memory. Regardless of how well the Illini do in this unprecedented shortened season, Alvarez encourages fans to remain supportive and excited despite being forced to stay away from Memorial Stadium during one of the most exciting years in Illinois football history. “I know they won’t be letting fans in, but keep supporting the team,” Alvarez said. “I think they are going to have a pretty solid team to watch, so it should be a fun year.” @JacksonJanes3 janes6@dailyillini.com
WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS
Illini return to practice after extended offseason BY JONAH PEREZ STAFF WRITER
With last season ending abruptly due to COVID-19, it was relieving for the women’s gymnastics team to finally be back in the practice routine after a long offseason, even if there were changes to the usual protocols. “Previously we came in whenever we wanted and did as we pleased,” said senior Nicole Biondi. “But now we have to have designated times we come in and show up in our pod (the group of teammates we live with). To start practice we have to wash our feet, wash our hands, mask on 24/7 unless we’re actually doing gymnastics … other than that, our gymnastics is the same. I think the team is doing a really good job (of) following the protocols and doing what we can in the gym.” Head coach Nadalie Walsh added how gymnastics is already a socially distant sport and is not as hard of an adjustment as other sports. If an athlete tests positive for coronavirus, they have to miss at a minimum two weeks before returning to team activities. The mindset of the team is to make the necessary sacrifices in order to not hurt other members of the team.
FROM 1B
LEADERSHIP volleyball backgrounds in which practice wasn’t quite as demanding. Beyond just her teammates, head coach Chris Tamas also promotes a different culture around practice from what Brown was used to. “I would say that Chris is huge about being efficient when in the gym,” Brown said. “He is a huge believer that the best volleyball doesn’t come when we’re tired. I guess pushing through always helps, but in order to be efficient, we need to come to the gym (and) get done what we need to get done. That was new (to) me. I didn’t really have that in my high school days.” Another thing Brown has worked on has been her leadership. Being a strong leader is important as a setter, and Brown felt she could have done a better job as a leader last season. “(Leadership) was at times forced (last year),” Brown said. “I’m very type-A and so when things in my mind that I wanted to happen didn’t happen in real life, (I would think) ‘why isn’t that hap-
“We continually tell them that it’s a privilege to be a student-athlete and part of the gymnastics program,” Walsh said. “There’s a lot more at risk for us … I constantly remind them not to live in fear or be full of anxiety. I really want them to learn to not feel these emotions when they’re out in public. We have a lot of trust built between the coaches and athletes.” Trust has been an essential part of the team, as coaches are not worried about their gymnasts not following protocols; they see how determined their athletes are and see how much they don’t want to lose another season. Biondi added that trust is built into the Illini culture and is prominent in all sports. They’ve worked their entire childhoods to get to this point, and they are not about to throw it all away through their own actions. This culture was instilled when the gymnasts were going through the recruiting process. They quickly bonded with the coaches and upperclassmen, even more so this year. “It was a really unique preseason in the sense we were allowed to let them listen in on meetings when we were on Zoom calls,” Walsh said. pening my way?’ Now, I step back and realize — it’s not all about me. There’s 16 or 15 of us girls and a whole entire coaching staff, so it can’t be all about me. I have to put the team’s needs in front of mine. I’m completely comfortable with that now.” To help remedy her shortcomings as a leader last season, Brown has applied her detail-oriented approach as a setter to how she handles relationships with her teammates. She’s worked to develop one-on-one relationships with all of her teammates, which she feels will make everyone more comfortable receiving assists from her on the court. By getting to know each of her teammates well, Brown hopes she’ll be able to better motivate each player as an individual. She strongly believes leadership shouldn’t be done through a one-sizefits-all approach, and that being friends with her teammates off the court will help her be better at knowing what to say to them in big moments. In terms of how she came to her leadership approach, she credits some inspiration to Illinois volleyball alum

Senior Nicole Biondi competes in the floor routine during the meet against Penn State on Feb. 2 at Huff Hall. The Illinois women’s gymnastics team recenly resumed practice after an extended offseason.
“We’ve had more communication and more foundation built with them than in the past. Even though they couldn’t be in the gym with us, I think the freshmen are just following the lead, and they’re doing a great job and they’re showing every day that they’re here for a purpose and they are not intimidated.” Even when the team went Blayke Hranicka. Hranicka had gotten good playing time in the 2017 season, but in 2018, she was delegated to the bench. Brown has a large admiration for how Hranicka accepted her reduced role. “She took on the role of helping the middles when they came out,” Brown said. “Helping (suggest) what shot they should do or tendencies of the other hitters for blocking. She always was the first person to spot up someone who was in their own head and encouraged them and helped them and supported them. She never complained about her role. She really took on her own role and I think that was a huge part of our success.” While Brown has worked to be more of a team-first leader, that doesn’t mean she’s lost her focus on hard work. During the offseason, Brown watched “The Last Dance,” and it reinforced her values of grit and determination. “Something that stuck out to me was that Michael Jordan never asked something of his teammates that he wouldn’t do (himself),” Brown said. “I’m not going to expect something out of my
home after the early end to the season, they stayed in constant communication with each other and the coaching staff. Their goal over the summer was to come out of the shutdown better than when they went in. One way Biondi said they accomplished this is by posting pictures every day during the summer after a workout in their team group chat to
motivate eachother. Since they have come back, everybody has shown the work they put in during their long break, but sophomores Mia Townes and Olivia O’Donnell have particularly stood out. “I know Mia Townes really busted her tail all year,” Walsh said. “She lived in Texas and was able to actually get in and do some weight
training and things like that. I can see that she’s so much stronger than she was last year coming off an Achilles surgery. Olivia O’Donnell is another sophomore who recovered from an injury last year and she’s come back and is doing all four events and doing outstanding.” @jonahap2 jonahperez@dailyillini.com

teammate that I wouldn’t expect of myself. I’m not going to hold others to 100% effort if I can’t hold myself to that, too.” Looking forward, Brown will soon get the opportunity to showcase how much she’s improved as a leader. She’s
mentioned a distaste for comparisons to the team’s previous star setter, Jordyn Poulter, as Brown feels she should be seen as her own unique self. When volleyball returns, Brown will get the chance to showcase exactly the type of individual she can
be. Last season’s shortcomings were largely attributed to faulty leadership, so all eyes will be on Brown. She’s counting on it. @WesHollenberg wih2@dailyillini.com

COVID-19
Champaign county sees 69 new cases, 111 recoveries BY ETHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
On Sunday, the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District confirmed another 69 cases of COVID-19 from 10,279 new tests. A nother 111 people were reported recovered by CUPHD, bringing the county total to 382 active cases. CUPHD reported 8 hospitalizations, the same as Friday and Saturday. ZIP code 61820 is Champaign County’s biggest contributor to the pandemic: 198 of the active cases reside there, and there have been 1,988 confirmed cases there. The ZIP code 61822 encapsulates the area within I-74 on the north, Prospect Avenue on the west, Windsor Road on the south and Wright Street on the east, covering most of Campustown. The same ZIP code leads Champaign County in total tests with 182,713. Adjacent
ZIP codes 61801 and 61821 are second and third in county testing, with 97,559 tests and 38,654 tests to date. The ZIP code with the next highest number of active cases is 61822, with 37. As of Sunday, 4,281 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in Champaign County. Of them, 3,879 are considered recovered, eight are currently hospitalized and 20 have died. The county has conducted 431,519 tests for the coronavirus since the pandemic began. Over 64% of all county tests have been done on people between the ages of 10 and 30 years old. In total, 1,711 confirmed cases have been from people between the ages of 10 and 20, while another 1,157 confirmed cases have been between 20 and 30 years old. CUPHD reports breakdowns of cases and tests by race. According to their webpage, 62% of people who’ve tested positive in
the county are white, 15% are African American, 5% are Asian, 16% are “Other” and 1% are unknown. By ethnicity, 16% of people who’ve tested positive identify as Hispanic, but only 2% of the tested population is Hispanic. Other cases to tests disparities exist in racial demographics. Asian people represent 5% of cases despite comprising 18.1% of tests, while African Americans comprise 15% of cases in the county with only 8.2% of tests. The Illinois Department of Public Health reported a higher case count for Champaign County: 4,330, up 10 since Saturday. Unlike CUPHD, which confirms each new case before reporting it, IDPH directly reports all positive test results from campus and the county. @esimmsnews ecsimmon@dailyillini.com

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS OFFICIAL NOTICE
LIST OF TEACHERS RANKED AS EXCELLENT BY THEIR STUDENTS
SPRING 2020 (Based on Data Collected Spring 2020) The results from the Spring 2020 administration of student ratings of instruction are included in this list. Results are based on the ratings from the Instructor and Course Evaluation System (ICES) maintained by Measurement and Evaluation in the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. The list is necessarily incomplete. Instructors who did not have students evaluate their classes or chose to use a form other than those reported here have no opportunity to be included. For some instructors who did use these forms, there is also the possibility that they chose not to be included in the list. For these reasons, in the past we adopted the title “An Incomplete List of Teachers Ranked as Excellent by Their Students.” These reasons still hold and the list is still ‘incomplete’ but we have taken “Incomplete” out of the title. The results are presented in department alphabetical order. Criteria for inclusion follow. PREPARATION OF RESULTS This list is based on ICES forms completed by students during the Spring semester of 2020. Only those instructors who distributed ICES forms at least once during this time period and who released their data for publication are included in the list.

Life’s Moments: from Memory to Legacy

Two students sit together on the Main Quad on April 3. The buzz staff suggests good music to sudy to as midterm season approaches.
Buzz staff suggests study music for midterm season BY BUZZ STAFF
With the first round of midterms almost underway, we have to ask the question: Do professors purposely assign projects and exams all at once to make students’ lives more stressful? Luckily, there’s an extensive list of music that can complement any study session. Check out the buzz staff’s picks for jams to play while hitting the books.
Sydney Wood
Recently, I’ve been listening to laid-back songs that serve as background noise while I study. If I have good music playing while learning, it’s easier for me to retain information. My Spotify Discover Weekly playlist has been spot-on with
its song suggestions, and I’ve been building my most recent playlist off of songs the Discover Weekly playlist has been recommending to me. My most recent playlist includes “Keep Two-Stepping” by Pretoria, “How Long?” by Vampire Weekend, “Fumblin’” by 2% and “New Girl” by Moscow Apartment. Listening to music helps me concentrate on studying, and these easy-going songs are perfect for me to listen to while working on papers and reading lecture notes. My playlist also includes songs like “Day Without You” by Keep for Cheap, “Call Me” by Elevator Fight Club, “Strawberry Wine” by Lemondrop and “Nobody” by Hozier. As I’ve been preparing for exams, these songs have been on
repeat consistently. “Goodie Bag” by Still Woozy, “cotton eye joe” by Ignant Benches and “I Don’t Know How To Love” by The Drums have also been a staple of every study session. “Dancing Through the Telephone” by the Axidents, “Phone” by Ludic and “Mallory” by Back to Yours aren’t as mellow as the other songs, but they’re so good that I had to include them in my study playlist.

Characters struggle with sin in ‘The Devil All the Time’ New novel adaption film premieres on Netflix with starstudded cast BY RUKAYAH HUSSEIN BUZZ CALENDAR EDITOR
“The Devil All the Time,” a grotesque and eerily Gothic mystery-thriller, was released on Netflix last Thursday. There was a lot of anticipation surrounding the film, adapted from the novel with the same name, primarily due to its star-studded cast. Actors such as Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgård, Sebastian Stan, Eliza Scanlen, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke and many more familiar faces grace television screens with their stellar performances. Directed by Antonio Campos and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, “The Devil All the Time” had many high expectations placed upon it. Whether the film met them all depends on the viewer. During the era of COVID-19, we have had to cope with countless theatrical delays and postponements due to the pandemic. It is safe to say that many avid movie fans were itching to watch this film, purely because they have been deprived of so many other anticipated films this year. However, those who have watched the film urge caution when it comes to watching it. Subjects such as murder, suicide, physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress and more are addressed in this film. There is also a lot of blood, gore, and overall violence that takes place as well.
FROM 5B
STUDY MUSIC
my favorites are “Froot” and “Gold” off her album “Froot.” I also love her earlier music like “Oh No!” and “Seventeen” off her album “The Family Jewels.” In my opinion, Marina has such a dynamic catalog. Even though she sings a lot about her struggles, she does so in a way that makes you feel empowered in the end. I’ve listened to her music for so many years, and it got me through many midterm and finals seasons since the start of high school. Another artist that I listen to for help getting through my innumerable amount of essays is Hozier. He has much more of a calming musical presence, which makes for great background music while studying or writing. A few of his songs I listen to while preparing for midterms are “Jackie and Wilson” and “Work Song” off his selftitled album “Hozier.” Off of his latest album, “Wasteland,
It is not that easy to watch, and the content may not just make you uncomfortable — it can even be triggering for some. The film is set during 1945, focusing on Willard Russell, portrayed by Bill Skarsgård, who has just returned home from war. He begins to show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder due to the trauma he experienced in the war, mainly due to a particularly gruesome event involving another soldier’s crucifixion in battle. However, he marries a waitress he meets named Charlotte, played by Haley Bennett, and they soon build a life together. They have a child, a boy named Arvin Russell, who is portrayed as a young adult by Tom Holland. At the same time, Carl Henderson, played by Jason Clarke, meets future wife Sandy, who is portrayed by Riley Keough. Sandy Henderson is the sister of Sebastian Stan’s character. He plays Sheriff Lee Bodecker, who is primarily concerned with his reelection as sheriff, but is haunted by Sandy and Carl as they are suspected to be involved in heinous crimes across the region. W hen Arvin Russell grows older, he lives with his grandmother after the tragic events involving his parents. His grandmother is tasked with raising Lenora Laferty, portrayed by Eliza Scanlen, who is also orphaned in the film. For these reasons, Lenora is always present at church and is a very religious young woman. As events come to pass, characters and viewers meet Reverend Preston Teagardin, who is played by Robert Pattinson. These individual stories Baby!,” some of my favorite songs are “Movement,” “No Plan” and “Shrike.” Both of these artists emit very different tones and moods. Still, I find that when I need some music to get me through long nights of coursework, they are a perfect fit.

Tom Holland stars in “The Devil All the Time,” which was released on Netflix on Sept. 6. The film was adapted from the novel of the same name and featured a star-studded cast that had audiences waiting for the film in anticipation.
and plotlines begin to converge in tragedy, violence and grief. Toward the end of the film, Arvin Russel is forced to make difficult decisions about the reverend, his sister and his father, which inevitably leads to Sheriff Bodecker in a high-stakes conclusion.
“The Devil A ll the Time” forces viewers to ask the question: Is everyone a sinner? Indeed not, but it seems that no one is left to claim innocence at every corner of the movie. Through the incredible acting of Holland, Pattinson and Scanlen, you will
be on the edge of your seat for much of the film. However, for some, many will wonder if it was all worth it. The ending is not particularly satisfying, but it is the least infuriating way it could end, given the film’s events. Arvin succeeds in his goal of vengeance, and
there is a sense of justice at the end of it all. This movie is evocative as we are pulled into the lives of these small-town folk, but whether you find the movie truly worth the wait is up to you. rukayah2@readbuzz.com
“Echoes” and “Dogs.” Indie is also an excellent genre to find some study jams. Of course, whenever anyone talks about indie, they talk about Mac Demarco. Though the 2019 release of his album “Here Come’s the Cowboy” was underwhelming to fans and critics alike, Mac Demarco has many solid songs from past albums like “Chamber of Reflection,” “On the Level” and “A Heart Like Hers.” You sometimes have to let those stressful emotions flow during studying, which is where Joji comes in. I still can’t get over the fact that this guy was Filthy Frank but switched over to a successful music career. There’s no feeling in the world that compares to belting out “Run” or “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK” when you’re in the middle of an existential crisis. Joji’s music is perfect for listening to during study breaks.
Finding the perfect study jams depends on the subject you’re studying. For example, when writing assignments, I tend to stick with music that isn’t too distracting, as loud, fast-paced or worded songs can make me lose focus. Instead, relaxing instrumentals, lofi beats and even classical music offer a perfect solution. Long songs are also a plus, so most songs by Pink Floyd are fantastic options. Despite “Ummagumma” being a trash album, the band consistently released great music throughout their 40-year music career. Some of their best long songs include “Shine readbuzz@readbuzz.com On You Crazy Diamond,”
