Provost Adesida resigns o! ce, leaving campus without top administrators DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

University faculty mem-bers disappointedly refl ect-ed on Provost Ilesan-mi Adesida’s resignation Monday.

Adesida will return to faculty in the College of Engineering effective Aug. 31. His resignation comes after a month of contro-versy surrounding the use of personal emails and the resignation of Former Chancellor Phyllis Wise.

Acting Chancellor Bar-bara Wilson announced his resignation in a mass-mail to University faculty and staff. Wilson said she will be consulting with the Council of Deans, mem-bers of the Senate Execu-tive Committee and cam-pus leaders to help fi nd a candidate to serve as inter-im provost.

“My association with the University, and particular-ly its outstanding faculty and students, has been a source of deep pride and fulfi llment for me,” Adesi-da wrote in a letter to Wil-son, according to a news release. “I recognize that current controversies are causing distraction to the administration and the student body, and I do not want to contribute to those distractions.”

Adesida, who publicly and enthusiastically endorsed the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine, was included in the more than 1,100 pages of emails released by the

University that were pre-viously withheld to skirt FOIA requests. He, along with other administrators and University members, actively worked to imple-ment the new biomedical engineering school, despite opposition from top Uni-versity offi cials, including

former Board of Trustees Chairman Chris Kennedy.

Senate Executive Com-mittee member Nick Bur-bules, professor in gener-al educational policy, said he wished Adesida had a chance to pursue his future for the campus further.

“As I said about for-

mer Chancellor Wise, he deserved a better fate than this,” he said.

While refl ecting on Ade-sida’s resignation, former Senate Executive Commit-tee Chair Roy Campbell said he is unsure of why Adesida resigned, but he knows Adesida was con-

cerned about Wise’s “pre-dicament and what hap-pened to her.”

“Whether or not (his resignation) precedes oth-er changes, that would be a good question because new chancellors, new pro-vosts, they want to bring in their own people,” Camp-

bell said. “It is obvious-ly probably a very anx-ious time for people in the administration.”

During the Senate Exec-utive Committee meeting Monday, Senator Abbas Aminmansour said he was

Chancellor search committee to form in late SeptemberBY MAGGIE SULLIVANSTAFF WRITER

A search committee for a permanent chancellor will be assembled by the end of September at the earliest, the Senate Executive Com-mittee discussed at a meet-ing Monday.

Kim Graber, SEC vice-chair, said there are strict rules that must be followed on how the committee is established. The committee, which must be assembled by the Academic Senate, must be chaired by a faculty mem-ber and comprised of eight faculty members, three stu-dents, one dean, one academ-ic professional and one staff member.

To determine the nomi-nations, the senate’s Com-mittee on Committees will send a University massmail, then compile a diverse slate of candidates — being sure to take race and gender into account.

However, this process can-not begin until President Timothy Killeen’s offi ce ini-tiates it in a letter; the pro-cess must then be approved by the senate before it can begin the search.

“I have been in contact with the president’s offi ce, and they are putting together a letter requesting the begin-ning of this process,” Graber said.

She said the SEC will be

invested in the whole pro-cess; Gay Miller, SEC chair, said elections to the chan-cellor search committee are competitive.

“It is not a yes-no vote, where the number of candi-dates on the slate is the num-ber of people we need,” Mill-er said.

Miller said the earliest the senate could approve the chancellor search process is the next senate meeting, Sept. 21. She said senators would have to “work rapid-ly” to come up with a slate of candidates to be voted on for the chancellor search com-mittee at the October senate meeting.

“Perhaps we might con-

sider calling a special meet-ing of the senate, so we can approve this particular item say — two weeks from now, rather than the middle of

September,” said Calvin Lear, a graduate student rep-resentative to the SEC. “The idea is we don’t have to stick to our once a month sched-

ule; we can call extra meet-ings if necessary.”

SEC debates code of personal email use BY MAGGIE SULLIVANSTAFF WRITER

Senate Executive Com-mittee member Abbas Aminmansour drafted an email usage code of conduct for the committee to fol-low and presented it Mon-day, following uproar about administrators’ use of per-sonal emails to conduct Uni-versity business.

On Aug. 7, the Univer-sity released over 1,100 emails about Steven Salaita, James Kilgore and the Car-

le-Illinois College of Medi-cine that were previously excluded from Freedom of Information Act requests.

The code detailed pro-tocol for SEC members on advising and disclosing pri-vate meetings and conver-sations with administrators.

“I hope that we learn our lessons from these emails and last year,” Aminman-sour said.

Not all senators were sup-portive of the draft. Kim Graber, SEC vice-chair,

said she felt the code of con-duct went too far.

“I don’t think we should put any restrictions on who talks to whom,” Graber said. “I can see people not wanting to serve on the SEC because of it. It makes it a hierarchal freedom of speech issue.”

Matthew Wheeler, SEC member, also advocated against the code of conduct.

“Several of us are also on (University Senates Confer-ence), and this code would

make it very diffi cult for us to conduct our business with the president,” Wheel-er said. “I can see lots of issues with us doing our jobs.”

Aminmansour, howev-er, defended his positions and said he did not put any restrictions on senators that would make their work impossible.

“It was not my intention in this document to say peo-ple could not talk to people,” Aminmasour said. “I want-

ed SEC members to tell the SEC that they spoke to those

THE DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTDue to the recent mumps outbreak

over the summer, the University will be holding a two-day MMR vacci-nation clinic in the Ballroom at the Illini Union.

The clinic will be held Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The vaccination will be free for all students, faculty and staff members. All born after 1956 are encouraged to receive the third MMR vaccina-tion; anyone who plans to receive the vaccination Wednesday or Thursday

must present their iCard.A massmail sent out by the Uni-

versity Monday afternoon outlined steps for students to take to prevent the spread of the infection.

If you think you may have mumps, students may call McKin-ley’s Dial-A-Nurse at 217-333-2700 to discuss their symptoms and set up a visit. Faculty and staff should con-tact their medical provider if care or advice is needed.

If you have not already done so, all students should get a third MMR

vaccination as soon as possible. The few students who have an

existing waiver for compliance with the required MMR vaccina-tion should consider whether seeking exemption outweighs the significant-ly higher risk of severe illness that people with no previous vaccine face.

Follow simple steps to limit the spread of infection such as washing your hands often, avoiding unneces-sary physical contact and sharing eating utensils and common foods at events.

addressed Nick Burbules and Joyce Tolliver, SEC members whose emails were released by the Uni-versity, directly, and said

if he had been asked for advice from former Chan-cellor Phyllis Wise on Ste-ven Salaita’s case, he would have brought the matter directly to the SEC.

“I understand the points, but I’m very concerned that we cannot have what hap-pened happen again,” he said.

The SEC agreed to form a committee to revise the code of conduct, and deter-mine if any rules had, in fact, been broken. Acting Chancellor Barb Wilson said the SEC needs to be more open to talking about contentious issues so the campus can move forward.

“I really appreciate this

discussion. I think we need to have frank discussions about the challenges we’ve all faced,” Wilson said. “The anger, anxiety, and lack of trust we are expe-riencing is profound, and we should all talk about it.”

Measures granting extra protection of the Mahomet Aquifer, a primary source of drinking water for 14 coun-ties in East-Central Illinois, was signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner earlier this month.

House Bill 1326 prohib-its the dumping of manu-factured gas plant waste, also known as MGP waste, and polychlorinated biphe-nyls, or PCB’s, in landfi lls above the Mahomet Aqui-fer, according to the original synopsis of the bill.

Aquifers act as storehous-es for groundwater and are permeable, meaning liquids and gases can pass through, according to National Geo-graphic’s website . When rain or melted snow drains into the ground, aquifers allow water to be used for drinking, agriculture and industrial uses when wells are drilled into them.

The process of manufac-turing gas from coal produc-es MGP waste, which poses

an environmental and pub-lic health concern because it contains volatile organic compounds and tar acids, among other materials. In addition, PCB’s originate from electrical transform-ers, plastics and lubricating oils, and are known to cause cancer and bring about adverse health effects.

The possibility of PCB’s spilling into the landfi ll was made controversial after citizens in DeWitt County posted about the issue on Facebook, attended a local DeWitt hearing and stood together to protect their source of drinking water, said Don Gerard, former mayor of Champaign. He was proud to see citizens and elected offi cials come together for a cause they believe in.

The city of Champaign has made considerable efforts to create ordinances and policies that promote a clean and safe environment, Gerard said.

Though the bill originally listed PCB’s in the synopsis,

the chemical is currently in the process of being han-dled between the Mahomet Aquifer Coalition , a coali-tion that is comprised of 14 local governments in east-central Illinois, and the Clin-ton Landfi ll, Inc. Both par-ties have drafted a consent decree upon a lawsuit that spurred from complaints of citizens in DeWitt County.

“The Mahomet Aqui-fer serves as Champaign-Urbana’s lifeline for clean, safe water that is used for everything from drinking to commerce,” said state Rep. Carol Ammons, D-103, who helped sponsor the bill to advance onto the Illinois House of Representatives.

The Mahomet Aquifer provides drinking water to approximately 800,000 peo-ple per day and uses approx-imately 53 million gallons for 120 public water systems every year , according to the Illinois Steward.

“It has been an enriching experience to work with leg-islators and organizations on all sides of the issue to

pass a bipartisan measure that helps safeguard our region’s most valuable nat-ural resource from contami-nation,” Ammons said.

Sen. Scott Bennett, D-52, co-sponsor of HB 1326, said the bill was exam-ined two to three times prior to his chairmanship but never reached approv-al. What made it different this time around was due to two reasons — the cre-ation of a bipartisan coali-tion and directly addressing the issues with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, he said.

A bipartisan coalition allowed both parties to dis-cuss which districts were affected by contaminations from the aquifer and con-versations with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency led to the immediate solutions that spurred the signing of the bill.

While the bill may be seen as a “major victory” for the east-central Illinois com-munity, Ammons said that her work for environmental

protection is not over.

Ben net t said the s p o n s o r s are being pro act ive by meet-ing with engineers and envi-r o n m e n -tal experts to devel-op future safeguards in order to prevent any future waste from depositing into aqui-fers. He added,“We’re try-ing to address the problems before they’re in our lap and not having to react to these problems.”

“We must continue to encourage discussions on how we can better protect our natural resources, such as the Mahomet Aquifer, from pollution in order to ensure they are preserved for future generations to enjoy,” Ammons said.

Legislative measures safeguard drinking water

Champaign considers parking limit

ber, said he felt it would be impossible to call a meeting in two weeks when the SEC hasn’t agreed on the pro-cess of establishing a search committee.

“If we’re using the text as it stands today, then we have the text,” he said. “Howev-

er, if we want to add any ele-ments or change anything, then we’re not in a place to vote on it.”

Ultimately, the SEC endorsed a motion to add extra senate or senate exec-utive committee meetings, if necessary.

Nick Burbules, general educational policy professor and SEC member, said elec-tronic voting could speed up

the process.“This is what electronic

voting is meant for – it allows us to move quicker,” Bur-bules said. “Let’s get this to the senate and vote on it; we don’t need to wait until the middle of October to do this — it’s too late in the cycle.”

Lear suggested having the Committee on Commit-tees start developing a list of candidates to serve on

the chancellor search com-mittee, ahead of President Timothy Killeen initiating the process. However, Mat-thew Wheeler, SEC member, was concerned this would be perceived as undermining Killeen’s authority.

“Decorum dictates that we follow this process,” Wheel-er said.

Kimberly Casey , senior in ACES, said bringing a car to campus was convenient for her because there are no buses to take her home from the University; however, a city of Champaign motion to decrease required parking could make it more diffi cult for students like Casey to keep their cars on campus.

“Sometimes I feel like (city planners) don’t think about that when they decide to reduce parking,” Casey said. “There are a lot of us who have to bring our cars to campus because there’s no other way for us to get home.”

A decline in students’ use of campus parking led the city of Champaign to consid-er reversing its requirement that all University buildings must include parking.

City-owned parking spac-es are about 70 percent full, said Ben Leroy , asso-ciate planner for the city of Champaign, despite drop-ping parking fees to main-

tain their occupancy.“We have kind of come to

the realization that we’re requiring much too much parking for what students actually want on campus,” Leroy said.

He said this decline in parking further supports Champaign’s Planning and Development Department’s consideration to no longer require buildings on cam-pus to include parking lots.

According to Leroy, a collaboration between the cities of Champaign and Urbana, the Mass Transit District and several other agencies in 1999 produced the Campus Area Transpor-tation Study, which laid out a vision and set of goals for an ideal system of transporta-tion at the University.

The study led to several projects, such the reduction of Green Street from a four-lane to a two-lane street, which is much more condu-cive to biking and foot traf-fi c, LeRoy said.

“U of I Parking current-ly has approximately 16,000

parking spaces — 2,150 of these parking spaces are meters, 370 are reserved spaces,” said Michelle Wahl , University director of parking.

Wahl said 9,930 faculty and student parking spac-es have been purchased or renewed thus far, however that does not refl ect how many cars are brought to campus daily.

Catering to vehicles has been the norm in almost every American city for decades, Leroy said, and Champaign has been requir-ing parking at buildings for decades. However, these practices are becoming increasingly dated.

“What we have started to realize as a community and kind of a broader planning discipline is that requiring parking can often run coun-ter to making a place livable and accessible for walkers and bikers,” said Leroy.

According to Leroy, these beliefs are supported by sev-eral landlords and develop-ers on campus, who have

reported to the department that some apartment build-ings have parking vacan-cy rates between 20 and 40 percent.

Jacquelyn Negrete , junior in Business, said she brought a car to campus last year but chose not to this year.

“I just feel like they could probably lower the pric-es a little bit more and it wouldn’t make a huge dif-ference,” Negrete said. “It’s already hard to fi nd afford-able parking as it is, and no longer requiring a set amount of (parking spaces) could make it worse.”

According to Leroy, ask-ing landlords to lower the price of parking doesn’t benefi t students in the long run because landlords will reduce parking fees to attract students, but will make up for the cost in the rent.

Ultimately, Leroy said, the planning and develop-ment department believes eliminating the parking requirement on campus is the best solution for every-

one involved because it allows students to have a say in where they live, and gives developers the opportunity to create an environment for specifi c market niches.

“We trust our develop-ers and landlords, and our students, to make the right

choices for themselves,” Leroy said. “The University often advises new students that it is not necessary to bring a car to campus, which is now becoming more sig-nifi cant than ever.”

disappointed by Adesida’s resignation and “didn’t want it to come to this.”

Senate Executive Com-mittee Chair Gay Miller said she could not say more than what Adesida said in his letter.

“He loves this campus and he doesn’t want the challenges to be a distrac-tion, he wants to make sure we can move forward and he felt that this was the right thing to do,” Miller said.

Adesida joined the facul-ty in 1987 and was named the 13th dean of the College of Engineering in 2005. He is currently the Donald Biggar Willett Professor

of Engineering, professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and professor of Materials Science and Engineering.

Wise appointed Adesida as provost in 2012.

Wilson said she did not yet have plans for fi nd-ing Adesida’s permanent or interim replacement. She added that there is not much time to fi nd an inter-im provost, given Adesida’s last day is just one week away.

“Ade has left a perma-nent and positive mark on this university,” Wilson wrote. “He has my respect and my gratitude. Replac-ing him will be no easy task.”

THE DAILY ILLINI

EDITORIALUniversity faces further uncertainty as provost resigns

EDITORIAL CARTOON ARTIST EAGLE CARTOONS

Y esterday, the Dai-ly Illini Editorial Board published an editorial about the resignation

of Chancellor Phyllis Wise. We signed off by saying the University needs “to see a time when resignations and scandals do not continuous-ly plague this campus. Lead-ership will never be strong when administrators contin-ue to come and go.”

While quoting ourselves might seem prosaic, it is not without cause. Not even a day after asking for consis-tency from our administra-tion, we saw another change in the University’s leadership with the resignation of Pro-vost Ilesanmi Adesida.

While we already feared how the campus would oper-ate in the future months un-der a new president as the University searches for a new chancellor, we can now add provost to the search list, too. The provost oversees ac-ademic programs, policies and priorities and works with the chancellor, vice chancel-lors, college deans and the Academic Senate.

Adesida’s resignation comes after a month of con-troversy surrounding the use of personal emails that skirt-

ed Freedom of Information Act requests, along with the resignation of former Chan-cellor Phyllis Wise.

“I recognize that current controversies are causing distraction to the adminis-tration and the student body, and I do not want to contrib-ute to those distractions,” Adesida wrote in a letter to Wilson, according to a Uni-versity news release.

Adesida was included in the more than 1,100 pages of emails not included in FOIA requests.

Wise appointed Adesida as provost in 2012, and the duo worked together to create the recently approved Carle Illinois College of Medicine.

The emails, which have now been released, showed Wise and Adesida’s attempts to implement the new bio-medical engineering school, despite opposition from top University officials, includ-ing former Board of Trustees Chairman Chris Kennedy.

Regardless of whether it was ethical of Wise and Ad-esida to work behind Kenne-dy’s back to create the col-lege, it has been approved and is on its way — with or without them.

As of April, $135 million still must be raised for the

college, and a search for a dean is currently in process. The University has already invested time, money and en-ergy into the development of the new college.

The Daily Illini Editorial Board worries how the col-

lege will come to fruition with its two biggest leaders now out of the picture. Fur-ther, we reiterate our con-cern for the University’s future with the current in-consistency in administra-tion.

‘Transgender’ not a punchline

We’re all familiar with the “man in a dress” comedy trope, whether

it’s Mrs. Doubtfire or even just a silly Halloween costume. Much of our media features transgender women as the butt of jokes, with transphobic slurs such as “tranny” or “she-man” also easily slipped into conversations between our favorite TV shows and movies. While it may seem like there is progress occurring with more positive transgender represen-tation in the media, this and more transphobic tropes are still very prominent.

Many people still do not rec-ognize when transgender wom-en are used as comedic tools in popular shows and media. In fact, many of us unknowingly laugh along to these “jokes” that appear on TV shows and movies alike.

For example, “Family Guy” has an infamous bit in which a character vomits for many minutes upon learning he has had sex with a trans woman. In “The Hangover Part II,” the character Stu has a drunken affair with a woman who he finds out is transgender. When it is revealed that she is trans-gender, Stu recoils in disgust while the other characters look to him in concern. Even in “Two and a Half Men,” the writers feature an episode where Chris O’Donnel plays an ex of Charlie, the main char-acter, who had undergone a transition to living as male. The episode was filled with transphobic double entendres,

including the name of the epi-sode “An Old Flame With a New Wick”.

There is an obvious problem here. In all three instances, the usage of negative trans-gender tropes perpetuates the idea that transgender men and women are repellent and unap-pealing in nature. Since all of these three examples are featured in comedies, there is no consequences in the plot – there is no room to explore a complex portrayal of transgen-der characters on television that may be shown in dramas. This is extremely danger-ous for a countless number of reasons.

While laughter should nor-mally make people more com-fortable and relieve tension, using trans characters as bait for mockery and humor does nothing of the sort. In instanc-es like these, where those that are cisgender laugh at the expense of those that are marginalized, this “humor” is quite unfunny and oppressive.

Many of these tropes go unnoticed by the general pub-lic and defending these tropes is an act of willful blindness, something that only perpetu-ates the constant abuse that trans people receive from both media and the general public. It’s no wonder that depres-sion, anxiety and suicide rates are higher among transgender people.

In fact, 41 percent of trans-gender people said they had attempted suicide, compared with 1.6 percent of the gen-eral population, according to a study by Injustice at Every Turn. This risk increased for those who reported bullying, sexual assault and job loss.

When our media is littered with transphobic jokes, we are displaying our unaccep-

tance and furthering the bul-lying and sexual assault that is already occurring.

While there seems to be an increasing awareness and acceptance of what transgen-derism is and the issues trans-gender people face, there has also been an alarming rise in violence against members of the community. In 2014, there were 12 killings, and this doesn’t compare to the 17 kill-ings of transgender individu-als so far this year.

This rising statistic dis-plays the horror behind using transphobic comedy — when we are using transgender peo-ple as a device to make oth-ers laugh, we’re also stating that their life experiences and their struggles facing bigoted individuals daily are insignifi-cant. More so, we’re creating an environment that makes it more and more acceptable for these killings to occur, as the way media portrays transgender people affects the climate in which we view transgenderism.

Rather than our blatant prej-udice and discrimination, the transgender community needs our support. However, the big-otry we see on TV, particular-ly in comedies, gets in the way of progress for everyone.

This humor is not in step with the direction our society should be headed. While we’re certainly making progress — from celebrities such as Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jen-ner being in the forefront of media to the United States Air Force announcing that it would no longer discharge recruits who identify as trangender — we still have a long way to go.

The Alpha Phi sorority chapter at the University of Alabama made headlines last week for

posting a controversial recruit-ment video that was later taken down because of widespread Inter-net outrage.

In the video, members of the chapter are shown doing just about every single activity associated with “stereotypical sorority girls.” They blow bubbles in a field, do cheesy dances with each other, hang out on a pier sporting bikinis and show off some less-than-stellar football skills with Alabama running back Kenyan Drake.

Nearly everyone pictured is blonde, beautiful and Caucasian. The video was clearly filmed with very high quality cameras and subject to pristine editing. It assuredly took quite a bit of money and time to produce.

Much of the outrage surrounding the recruitment video criticized one of two issues: The racial homogeneity of the sorority, which is on full display, and Alpha Phi, along with the Greek system in general, for a perceived lack of acceptance of other cultures. Others took issue with the video from a feminist viewpoint because of the way it represented college-aged women.

However, the amount of backlash this video received over the lack of cultural representation seems excessive. It’s not good that seemingly the entire sorority is white, but these girls put together an honest advertisement of themselves.

Certainly, strides need to be made in the Greek system to allow people of all backgrounds to feel comfortable rushing or pledging wherever they please. No Greek system is perfect, just as all societies have issues. It’s extremely important to discuss these issues and search for solutions to increase diversity, but publicly shaming one chapter for one recruiting video isn’t constructive at all.

Their recruitment video made absolutely certain that prospective students know exactly what to expect at Alpha Phi’s Alabama chapter. This shouldn’t be a major indictment on the entire Greek system, just as it didn’t prove all fraternities are racist when the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Oklahoma was captured

singing a horribly racist song together last spring.

The ways in which sororities or fraternities choose to represent themselves to the rest of the world are ultimately their decisions and reflect the values they choose to emphasize.

Few people who criticized Alpha Phi for their recruiting video actually made larger points about the prevalence of discrimination in the Greek system. Wringing one’s hands over what amounts to a mostly inconsequential video isn’t helping anybody.

The criticism of the video shouldn’t have resulted in forcing Alpha Phi to take it down, it should have resulted in a widespread conversation about the homogeneity of much of the Greek system in general.

There are currently 97 fraternity and sorority chapters at the University, with around 30 percent of those being predominantly non-Caucasian chapters. Nothing is wrong with this, until one takes a few quick looks at the composites of most other chapters at the University and realizes that most other chapters are composed of an overwhelming majority of white people.

Clearly, there is some sort of barrier preventing minorities from becoming part of the Greek system on a larger scale, outside of the culturally based organizations.

That Alpha Phi chapter itself shouldn’t be taken to task as much as it has been, but certainly any fraternity or sorority can learn important lessons from the response to this video. Serious consideration needs to be applied when discussing how a chapter can best represent its values, while still bringing in plenty of diverse potential new members.

The world we live in makes judgments in a split second, which makes it important for fraternities and sororities to do more than just dance around in a field and swim. They should show what makes their chapters unique, what makes it a privilege to be a member.

I’m sure that Alpha Phi had no intentions of painting their sorority members with such a broad brush, but that’s the reality of today’s world. Something as innocent as that recruiting video can really harm a chapter’s reputation if taken the wrong way.

With class back in session, campus is buzzing with movement as students make their way to class. The Daily Illini took to the streets to see the different ways that many students get around.

Students give pros and cons to various transportation Mopeds, cruiser boards, bikes getting around campus is easier with wheels

George Ibrahim, sophomore in LAS, bike

The Daily Illini: Why do you prefer biking as your main mode of transportation?

George Ibrahim: It’s good exercise. I usually don’t have time to run in the morning so it’s just a good way to get that exercise out of the way and it’s much faster than walking. And I live on Neil (in Cham-paign), so it’s either taking the bus or jogging over here, and I’m not going to jog over here. So it’s just faster, more convenient and I get the exer-cise out of the way.

DI: What’s one of the downsides of biking around campus?

GI: It’s tiring, I have to carry around the lock every-where, but I guess the pros outweigh the cons.

DI: Do you think more peo-ple should consider biking to class?

GI: Defi nitely. I see a lot of people running on campus. I do biking because I’m lazy so if you want to run, I think that’s better, but of course, if you’re biking, I think that’s good exercise too.

Nicholas Cantanvespi, junior in Engineering, bike.

The Daily Illini: Why do you prefer this biking as your main mode of transportation?

Nicholas Cantanvespi: I feel like biking is faster than walking and cheaper and more convenient than hav-

ing a car on campus. Parking is never an issue and it’s free.

DI: How have you previ-ously gotten around before that?

NC: I walk to class some-times and I had a car on cam-pus last year. I was never able to drive to class because of parking.

DI: Would you say cam-pus is easy to navigate for a biker?

NC: Sometimes it can be intimidating for some people to ride around with so many pedestrians or cars around, but I fi nd that getting around campus is easier on a bike than in a car.

Chintan (Chin) Patel, freshman in LAS, longboard.

The Daily Illini: Why do you prefer longboarding to class?

Chintan Patel: Well, I guess it’s a hobby I picked up over summer. A bunch of my friends bought one. So we had nothing to do and it was fun to cruise around town. Bikes are pretty expensive. You can get a cheap one for one hundred bucks maybe. And it’s pretty fast.

DI: What’s one of the upsides of taking a long-board around?

CP: As opposed to walk-ing, you definitely get around campus faster and the streets are pretty smooth so you can ride in the streets instead of like running through people. Also, it’s a good conversa-tion starter if you meet some other people on longboards.

DI: Would you say it’s easy to navigate through campus on a longboard?

CP: Yeah it’s pretty easy because people can hear the clacking, so they just move out of the way as opposed to a bike which is pretty silent.

DI: Do you think more people should consider long-boarding to class?

CP: I mean if they can do

it, I’d say yeah. But it usu-ally takes about a day to get comfortable to board and it’s also pretty easy to get hurt.

Sydney Bertelsmann, sophomore in Education, scooter.

The Daily Illini: Why do you prefer taking a scooter to class as opposed to oth-er forms of transportation?

Sydney Bertelsmann: I prefer taking a scooter to class because it’s fast and effi cient. That way, I do not have to wait for a bus or have to worry about the traffi c of walking students

if I was on a bike.

DI: How have you previ-ously gotten around before your scooter?

SB: I have taken the bus many times before, and I do in the winter time. I also walk to class often if it is nice outside. But my favorite way to get to class is taking my moped.

DI: What’s one of the

upsides of driving a scoot-er around campus?

SB: The University pro-vides many parking lots just for motorcycle park-ing which is very conve-nient. A lot of the dorms do not charge you to keep your moped on their park-ing lots, so it is an easy way to save money if you need transportation around cam-pus but do not have a spe-cifi c parking spot.

Gwan U (Sam) Park, sophomore in LAS, cruiser board.

The Daily Illini: Why do you prefer this mode of transportation?

Gwan Parkw: It takes me places faster than walking. That’s the whole point of it. I used this one compared to the longboard because it’s much smaller and easier

to carry around. You have to put it somewhere during class as well so I use this. The only downside is that in winter during the snow and ice, I can’t ride.

DI: How have you previ-ously gotten around before?

GP: Walking and buses

DI: What are some of the upsides of riding your board around campus?

GP: I’ve actually tested times, and it takes about three minutes for a walking distance of seven minutes, so it’s much faster.

DI: Would you say it’s easy to navigate around campus on the board?

GP: Yeah, but it has its limits. As you can see, these wheels are not like bicycle wheels which means on like really rocky or brick roads,

A purple-shaded map covers the wall opposite the crowded counter at Chatime, a tea café on 512 E. Green St., Suite C. A line has been winding out of the café ever since its grand opening Saturday.

The map shows 11 spidery lines extending from Taiwan, the franchise’s country of origin. Around the map, names of cities around the world show where Chatime has expanded. The wall serves as both a cen-terpiece for the café and a representation of the company’s mot-to: “Global Brand with Local Flavor.”

The chain has over 1,000 locations world-wide. Since its open-ing in 2005, Chatime has become popular in East and Southeast Asia, according to Dan-iel Tan, junior in Engi-neering, who frequents Chatime locations in his home country as well.

“Everyone knows this brand,” he said.

Champaign is the only Chatime loca-tion in Illinois , and with 6,663 students enrolled from East and Southeast Asia in spring 2015, the prod-uct appeals to a large audience. Kamal Suria Asri Raja, junior in LAS, said his banana milk tea had the same taste and quality as the teas he gets from the Chatime in Malaysia, his home country.

“The way they made it makes it spe-cial,” he said. “They’re unique because the tea is roasted.”

According to Chatime’s website, they ensure prod-uct quality and consisten-cy by using a “High Tech Tea Making” procedure to adjust to the different

internation-al environmen-tal conditions, such as humid-ity, temperature and barometric pressure.

While certain staple products stay the same, local tastes are considered while constructing the menu.

“Compared to China, it’s very different,” said Eyi Zhang, junior in Engineering. “It doesn’t have much of a tea fl avor.”

Zhang said she had tea two days in a row, and it tasted different both times, but she attributed the inconsistency to the café still being in its early days.

“I think they adjust-ed it, like Chinese-American food,” said Justin Sass, junior in Engineering, regarding the increased sweetness of the drink. He said in China, a strong tea fl a-vor is preferred to sweetness.

In terms of customization, however, Chatime succeeds.

“They have a really great selection,” Zhang said, pointing out a section of the menu that allows customers to choose sweeteners, milk and drink additions. “That’s a straight-up Chinese, Taiwan thing.”

On the wall next to the counter customers can see the full menu, which includes milk teas, jelly teas, a coffee line and smoothies.

For their grand opening, Chatime offered a “buy one, get one free” special on Pearl Milk Tea and Grass Jelly Tea. All beverages can also be upgraded to a large at no extra cost until Aug. 30.

Zhang mentioned that once the promo-tion ends and new customers have satisfi ed their curiosity about the new café, the crowds should go down.

Raja and Tan, who were playing cards in the café, said Chatime serves as a social hub in Malaysia.

According to Tan, whenever someone wants to hang out, they say, “Let’s go to Chatime.”

Illinois football is starting the 2015 season plagued by injury. Losing three return-ing players and one fresh-man, here are four key Illini injuries to track.

Jihad Ward, undisclosed, at least fi rst two games

The six-foot-six inch, 285-pound junior college transfer quickly made a name for himself at Illinois with his imposing physique, which has NFL scouts inter-ested. However, Ward will be sidelined at least the fi rst two games this season due to an undisclosed injury that required minor surgery.

In 2014, Ward was second in the FBS and led the Big Ten in fumble recoveries, with four. Ward recorded 51 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, three sacks, fi ve quarterback hur-ries and two forced fumbles throughout the season. He was an honorable mention to the All-Big Ten team. He is expected to anchor a great-ly improved Illini defen-sive line and his absence could hamper the group’s productivity.

Mike Dudek, knee, out until October

The Illinois star wide receiver broke records and stood out as a freshman in 2014. Dudek will be out until at least October after tear-ing his ACL during spring practice. Dudek was named a fi rst-team freshman All-American after breaking freshman reception and receiving yard records at Illinois. With 1,038 yards, Dudek was able to complete the eighth 1,000-yard receiv-ing season in Illinois history.

He led the Big Ten in receptions (50) and receiv-ing yards (716) in conference play. He also led the FBS freshmen in receiving yards per game. Without Dudek, Josh Ferguson will be called upon to play a larger role on the outside, catching passes both out of the backfi eld and in the slot.

Justin Hardee, foot, out 2-3 games

The depth of the wide receiving corps took anoth-er hit before Camp Rantoul began. Head coach Tim Beckman announced dur-ing the fi rst day of Big Ten Media Days in late July that Hardee will miss 2-3 games with a broken foot.

Hardee was expected to help make up for Dudek’s injury — although he had 19 catches in 13 games for

240 yards and one touch-down last season, the senior was expected to be a start-er this season. His absence will add some pressure to the remaining wide receiv-ers: senior Geronimo Alli-son, junior Dionte Taylor and sophomore Malik Turn-er. Freshmen Sam Mays and Desmond Cain impressed coaches at Camp Rantoul and could help take some reps when the top-three are not in the game.

Once Hardee returns, wide receiver will be one of the team’s deepest positions. Add Dudek to that mix, and Wes Lunt could have a lot of weapons.

Dre Brown, knee, out for season

The freshman running back made good impressions on the coaching staff during the spring practices. Brown enrolled early to the Uni-versity to spend more time with the team and compete for the back-up running spot. The DeKalb, Illinois-native showed he had the ability to protect the quarterback with his blocking and create open-fi eld opportunities with his vision even though he wasn’t the quickest running back in his recruiting class.

Brown suffered a setback despite his early success. He

tore his ACL during one of the last practices before the spring game. The rehab will force him to miss the entire season but might be a bless-ing in disguise for him and the Illini in the long run. A running back duo of him and

Ke’Shawn Vaughn could ele-vate Illinois’ running game to the top of the Big Ten in season to come.

Other injuries:Reggie Corbin, shoulder

Mike Svetina, foot Patrick Nelson, knee

Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas announced Monday that the renovated State Farm Center will feature Henson Court, named for legendary Illini head basket-ball coach Lou Henson.

The logo features Henson’s sig-nature, his trademark orange blaz-er and a pair of wings that is a reference to the 1989 Flyin’ Illini team that Henson led to the Final Four.

“The current renovation project at State Farm Center would prob-ably not be possible if not for the success led by Coach Henson here at Illinois.” Thomas said. “This is a fitting tribute to one of the all-time great coaches and people to be associated with Illinois.”

Thomas added during his remarks that if Henson’s local popularity is such that if he were to run for Mayor in Champaign or Urbana, he would win by a landslide.

Henson coached at Illinois from 1975-1996 and won 423 games. He also spent four seasons at Hardin-Simmons University and 17 years at New Mexico State. He won the 1984 Big Ten championship with the Illini, and is currently 16th on the all-time NCAA wins list.

Known for his blazer and his “Lou Do” hairstyle, the coach appeared to be in good spirits at Monday’s announcement at the 77 Club in Memorial Stadium.

He wore a mask and gloves prior to his appearance at the podium and held hands with his wife Mary, who accompanied him on the dais during the event. The 83-year-old is receiving regular chemothera-

py treatments after a health scare this summer. He has previously battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

He is set to be inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in November.

The founding of the Orange Krush occurred during Hen-son’s time at the University and the coach and his wife hosted the first meeting of the organization in their home.

Henson is one of 11 coaches in NCAA history to take multiple pro-grams to the Final Four. He led New Mexico State to the Final Four in 1970 — he is the winningest coach not only in Illinois history but in NMSU history as well — and his name is featured on the New Mexico court.

“I never imagined my name might some day appear on the floor of this renowned arena,” Henson said. “I am humbled and impressed.”

Henson took time during his statement to praise Thomas for the work he has done as Illinois ath-letic director and to laud his wife Mary. The pair has been married for 61 years and Henson said she has been his “head coaching part-ner” for those years.

State Farm Center is current-ly undergoing a $169 million ren-ovation. The Illini will return to the arena on Dec. 2 against Notre Dame, but the project will not be 100 percent complete until 2016. According to associate athletic director Warren Hood, the project is on schedule and on budget, as of a recent media tour of the facility.

Thomas said that a corporate sponsorship of the floor of the arena was “not how you go about honoring somebody like Lou,” and wanted Lou Henson Court to have no corporate association attached.

In 2002, Iranian dissidentsrevealed to a surprised world that the IslamicRepublic was building a uranium enrichment plant atNatanz, as well as a heavy water plan at Arak, the likesof which is capable of producing plutonium fornuclear bombs. In 2009, the U.S and other Westernstates discovered Iran constructing another secretenrichment plan—thisone fortified deeplyunderground—known asFordow. Notwithstandingall evidence to thecontrary, Iran has insistedits nuclear program ispeaceful. While Iran is asignatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), theInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) foundback in 2003 that “Iran’s many failures and breachesof its obligations to comply with its NPT SafeguardsAgreement... constitute non-compliance.”

Indeed, in 2003 then nuclear negotiator and nowpresident Hassan Rouhani bragged that “While wewere talking with the Europeans in Teheran” aboutpreventing Iran from enriching uranium, “we wereinstalling equipment in parts of the [uraniumconversion] facility at Isfahan.”

In just the past year during the P5+1 negotiations,despite generous easing of international sanctionsoffered as incentive, Iran has cheated at least threetimes on related agreements. First, in violation of theJoint Plan of Action, which prohibited Iran fromenriching uranium in new centrifuges, the IAEA inNovember 2014 caught the Islamic Republic usingadvanced, high-powered IR-5 centrifuges. Second, inFebruary 2015, Iran was discovered to have about 300kilograms of banned, gaseous low-enriched uranium,which can be used as reactor fuel. Third, Iran sworeto the IAEA it would answer questions about thePossible Military Dimensions (PMD) of its previousnuclear programs, but to date it has mocked thiscommitment, revealing virtually nothing.

This consistent history of lying, cheating andweaseling out of agreements to limit its nuclear

weapons program engenders profound distrust ofIran’s “agreement” to the Obama Iran Deal.

If we don’t trust, can we verify? If Iran wants the$150 billion in sanctions relief it is promised foradhering to this deal and if it has every intention ofcomplying, why would it refuse to allow the“anytime, anywhere” inspections promised byPresident Obama? Yet the P5+1 abandoned strictinspection protocols, including the ability to inspectmilitary sites, in exchange for a scheme by which Iran

can delay any request toinspect other secretfacilities for 24 daysminimum (and possiblymuch longer) in abureaucratic jungle—plenty of time to spiritaway all traces of

disallowed nuclear activity. What’s worse, astoundingly, neither the United

States nor any of the P5+1 nations will be involved ininspecting Iranian nuclear sites. Instead, inspectionswill be administered by the IAEA, which hasnegotiated secret terms for these protocols with Iran,the wily sanctions evader, which we will never see.

But what if we actually do catch Iran cheating?Even if Iran is caught violating Iran Deal terms, theP5+1 has tied its own hands. The only penalty theP5+1 can levy against Iran is a “snapback” return tothe sanctions—which could take months ofnegotiations among P5+1 partners. What’s more, atthe instant sanctions are reinstituted, Iran has theright to abandon the entire agreement, flip itscentrifuge switches and return to full-speed nuclearweapons development. By then it will have collectedits $150-billion reward and have little left to lose, buta nuclear arsenal to gain. With such stakes, it’scertain no Western nation will want to upend theagreement for the kind of small, consistentincremental violations that have characterized somuch of Iran’s cheating in the past. We can also besure that once British, French, German and Russianfirms have lined up multi-billion-dollar oil andweapons contracts with Iran, they will be reluctant tokill those lucrative programs by reinstitutingsanctions.

You deserve a factual look at . . .

A Cheater’s Dream: Can’t Trust, Can’t VerifyLying is Iran’s diplomatic tool of choice. No wonder most Americans

don’t believe the Obama Deal will stop Iran from cheating—or catch them when they do.

Iran has cheated shamelessly on all its international nuclear agreements. Not only does President Obama’sIran Deal fail as promised to halt Iran’s nuclear weapons program, its verification regime is so weak it willbe impossible to catch most violations. But even if we catch them, we have little power to stop them. It addsup to a deadly dangerous deal.

In short, if Iranians are determined to cheat, as they surely are, this deal leaves U.S. allies no means to catchthem or force them to comply. Only if the U.S. Congress defeats the Iran Deal can the internationalcommunity avoid a nuclear-armed terror state—and the near certainty of a Middle East or world war.

Friends and relatives from back home give me constant grief for

the state of Illini athlet-ics. And sometimes I agree with them. But other times, I point to fi ve athletes, who serve as beacons of hope in the Illini darkness cre-ated by recent football and basketball troubles. These athletes will dominate their respective sports all year long, so when you get pes-tered by Illini haters, men-tion these fi ve.

1. Nick Hardy, sophomore, men’s golf

The 2015 Big Ten Fresh-man of the Year continued his success this summer by qualifying for the 2015 U.S.

Open at Chambers Bay as an amateur. Hardy shot an opening round 70 and fol-lowed that up with a 75 the following day to make the cut. Not only did Hardy make a cut that his child-hood hero Tiger Woods did not make, he also outshot the 14-time major cham-pion by a combined 11 strokes on Thursday and Friday.

The kid is the same age as me — there’s a self-esteem crusher — and he beat out arguably the most successful professional athlete of our generation. Very few people are better at hitting a little white ball around a big green fi eld than this guy, so watch out for him this year.

2. Isaiah Martinez, redshirt sophomore, wrestling

As a redshirt freshman last year, Martinez post-ed a perfect 35-0 record

in route to becoming the national champion in the 157-pound weight class. Martinez was the fi rst undefeated freshman to win a national title since Cael Sanderson of Iowa State did so in 1999. The legendary Sanderson went on to win four-straight national titles — a mark that Martinez believes he can achieve as well.

Ask any 157-pounder in the Big Ten about Isa-iah and they’ll tell you all about the nightmares that ensued after fac-ing him on the mat. The 2015-2016 season should be no different — his competitors will be beg-ging for their mamas after just a few seconds out on the mat. Plenty of other will lose sleep, and maybe their lunch, every night until they have to square up with the brutish sophomore.

3. Jannelle Flaws, redshirt senior, soccer

Flaws is just two goals shy of tying the program record for career goals. The forward led the Big Ten in goals last season and tied for the NCAA lead in 2013. Her list of acco-lades and records is so long that Flaws was unanimous-ly voted Big Ten Forward of the Year in 2014, becom-ing the fi rst player to win the award in back-to-back seasons in school history.

She also holds the pro-gram record for most goals in a single season with 23. Not to mention, Flaws had to redshirt her freshman and sophomore seasons due to knee injuries. It’s incred-ible that she overcame that level of adversity and with two goals in the team’s season opener against Oakland, it already looks like Flaws is prepared for another stellar season.

4. Brandi Donnelly, sophomore, volleyball

Donnelly started all 34 matches at libero for the Illini in 2014. She ranked second in the nation amongst freshman last year in digs and had the second-most single-season digs in Illini history with 575. I can dig that.

Donnelly also plays for one of the best teams on campus — the Illini fell in the Sweet 16 last year to Florida. Expectations are even higher in 2015 — the American Volley-ball Coaches Association (AVCA) ranked the Univer-sity of Illinois eighth in the nation in its preseason poll.

5. Ke’Shawn Vaughn, freshman, football

Vaughn possesses a great combination of size and speed and should be a crucial part of Illinois’

rushing attack this year. Since Josh Ferguson is entering his senior season, Vaughn could be just one year away from becom-ing the starting running back. Vaughn ran for 2,646 yards and 45 touchdowns in his senior year at Pearl-Cohn high school in Nash-ville, Tenn., while averag-ing more than 11 yards a carry. If that doesn’t excite Illini football fans, I’m not sure what will. He was also a four-star recruit and had offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, and many others.

Fortunately for Illini fans, Vaughn chose to play for the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl runner-ups over the national champion Buckeyes.

BY EMMA MCGOWENSTAFF WRITER

After coming in fi fth place at the NCAA Mid-west Regional meet last season, the Illinois men’s cross-country team trained through-out the summer with the hope of fi nishing in better standings at the Big Ten Championships this year and making it to Nationals.

With last season having been plagued by injuries, includ-ing those to seniors Dylan Lafond and Liam Markham, both key contributors, the team has been aiming to maintain high levels of training.

“We mainly did base training over the sum-mer,” senior Ian Bar-

nett said. “We work into it and get a lot of mile-age in weekly to give ourselves strength and a good base so that our body is ready to com-pete for the whole sea-son. Then, toward the end, we throw in a few workouts like tempos, which are longer, faster runs at a certain pace.”

Hand-in-hand with the physical strength comes the mental strength that running requires.

“You have to stay positive,” Lafond said. “The people that sur-round you help you with the things that you can-not control. Everyone on the team pushes you not only on the track or cross country course,

but at home as well.”Another goal the

team is setting for this season is to be more race ready.

“We are going to be competing harder ear-lier on,” Barnett said. “Coach has some com-petitive races early on so we are not bust-and-rust at a big meet like Wisconsin where we are going in there fi ne-tuned and ready to go instead of hoping to run well but not really knowing what our capa-bility is.”

Traveling all over the country for meets can bring forth a variety of challenges. The terrain of cross-country cours-es, for example, can be extremely diverse, but

the types of terrain the team can practice on locally can be some-what limited.

“(The courses) are flat, which is nice because there is not a lot of hill training we can do in Champaign,” Bar-nett said. “The region-al course was changed up a little bit so now it is a lot fl atter and with the depth and young guys that we have, we are suited really well to have a very successful season.”

The first meet of the season is the Illi-ni Challenge on Sept. 4th at the University’s Arboretum.
