THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ROBIN 04University of Illinois Chancellor Phyllis Wise met with representa-tives from the Student Senate on Wednesday to discuss the current controversy over her decision to rescind a job offer made to Steven

Salaita. According to The Daily Illini, Wise reportedly expressed a desire to have handled things differ-ently. After the University’s English department and the Graduate Employees Organization earlier this week, joining the seven other departments issued votes of no confidence in the University’s leadership, including Wise, President Bob Easter and the Board of Trustees, it is really no wonder why the administra-tion is suddenly backpedaling.

To review, the controversy currently immersing the Chancellor’s office began on Wednesday, Aug. 13 with the release of documents showing that the University had placed Salaita on the tenure track yet had rescinded that offer on Aug. 1 via an email sent personally by Chancellor Wise; Wise said that Salaita’s appointment was subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, but the appointment would not be submitted to the board.

Outrage was almost immediate. The official stance by the University was and continues to be that Salaita was dismissed due to the hostile nature of tweets Salaita had posted about the Israeli conflict, but sup-porters of Salaita argue that the firing was an attempt to censor pro-Gaza sentiment. Emails from donors to Wise obtained by The Daily Illini through a Freedom of Information Act request detail threats to pull dona-tions if Salaita were hired.

Regardless of the correctness of any of the actors involved in the controversy, the legal fallout should be fascinating. The question essentially boils down to a freedom of speech issue. As a government-sponsored institution, the University of Illinois cannot censor or punish speech based on its content. Even if the adminis-tration’s decision to reverse the hiring process of Steven Salaita because of the vulgarity of his tweets, Cohen v. California (the “fuck the draft” case) makes it clear that vulgar speech is also protected by the First Amendment.

When—not if—Salaita challenges the University’s de-cision and sues, Salaita will win. Many voices, including some University faculty, are now calling for the resigna-tion of Chancellor Wise, President Easter and the Board of Trustees. That measure may be a bit extreme, but at this point, what of our University’s reputation can still be salvaged, anyway?

Being forced to travel great lengths to lock up my bike: UIUC is great about having those upside-down-metal-U-things everywhere, but the ones on the north side of campus are,

without fail, consistently at capacity. I've had to lock mine to trees, cars, and even unsuspecting napping students, just to get to class on time. Don't judge me.

Canned Clam Chowder: Let's pause and think about canned clam chowder for a sec-ond; like what? What!? But re-ally...what? This is the nastiest "food" item ever and I won't listen

to anyone who says otherwise. What were the world's canned soup scientists thinking? "OK, let's put a liquid that is vaguely reminiscent of cream into a metal container with little sad, shrunken pieces of dehydrated potato and rubbery chunks of mock seafood - oh, and here's the kicker, let's seal it and put it on a shelf for 2 YEARS!!! And then eat it. Yeah, were gonna do that."

McDonald's On Campus: Removed from any sort of debate regarding fast food on campus or obesity rates, the recently-launched McDonald’s on Green Street provided me with a magi-

cal experience late Wednesday night. At nearly the stroke of midnight, Ronald had amassed a line of diners that would beat Fat Sandwich or Cracked on any night. The air of excitement sur-rounding the new location mingled with youth-ful exuberance to set the room abuzz. The group of drunk and drinking students eagerly await-ing their burgers and McNuggets and McFlur-ries were like puppy-eyed children hoping they had Wonka’s golden ticket. But instead, it was Golden Arches and a hearty helping of grease that brought the CU community together that night. Memorable dining experiences normally come with a tablecloth, but that night one was served in a yellow wrapper.

Mother Nature never seems to be able to make up her mind in Illinois. Walking to class or work could consist of hail on one block, sunshine on another block and maybe even be a tornado thrown into the mix before you make it to your destination. Having four seasons can be beautiful and exciting, but not if you have to experience all of the seasons in one day.

From Sept. 5 to Nov. 21, Parkland’s Planetarium, located on 2400 W. Bradley Ave. in Champaign, allows community members to experience all of these seasons without having to bring umbrellas or winter coats. From 8 to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, the Planetarium will be hosting “Dynamic Earth.” During this event, guests will explore Earth’s climate system through advanced supercomputer simulations. The rushing ocean and wind currents, powerful hurricanes and erupting volcanoes will captivate audiences. Admission for this event is $5 for adults and $4 for students, seniors and children.

If you’re interested in visiting the Planetarium and gazing into Earth’s dynamic climate system, visit http://parkland.edu/planetarium for more information.

GET TO KNOW: ROBIN WILLIAMSOur top picks from the beloved actor’s careerBY BUZZ MOVIES & TV STAFF

M ourning the loss of the star of our child-hoods and one of the most poignantly

sentimental stars of a generation, we bring you the best of a cherished actor. From breakout roles in the ‘80s to some of the most complex perfor-mances he gave later in his career, here are our favorite flicks starring Robin Williams.

The World According to Garp (1982)After a meteoric rise to fame on television’s

Mork and Mindy, Robin Williams stretched his creative energies in a sloppy musical film ver-sion of Popeye. Despite the universal bad reviews for this Robert Altman directed mishap, director George Roy Hill allowed Williams to tailor the character T. S. Garp, from John Irving’s popular novel The World According to Garp, into truly one of Williams’ finest early film roles: a funny, off-beat and often bittersweet character that proved that this television megastar and stand-up comic could successfully create a multi-dimensional character while still being very funny.

Adapted by Hill, with Oscar-nominated screen-writer Steve Tesich (Breaking Away), The World According to Garp begins its unique tale of un-conventional living, revolutionary ideals, infidel-ity and redemption focusing on Garp’s obsessed feminist mother, Jenny Fields (Glenn Close) and proceeds through many humorous and turbulent times of Garp’s life with a strangely philosophi-cal slant, even at times surrealistic. From Jenny’s unconventional forced conception of Garp in a World War II military hospital, through Garp’s imaginative flights of fancy, his sexual awaken-ing, to his seemingly normal marriage to college sweetheart Helen (Mary Beth Hurt), Hill’s ad-aptation is mostly faithful to Irving’s novel. Wil-liams’s performance is touched with deep honest emotions, humor and pathos.

The World According to Garp, while not a film for all tastes, is an outstanding tale that explores the adventures and many joys of life from a dis-tinctly different perspective. It was Williams’s breakthrough role. —by Syd Slobodnik

Good Will Hunting (1997)When it was released, Good Will Hunting was

an immediate success, receiving critical acclaim and topping the box office. But in the years since, the film’s legacy has become even more signifi-cant than its stellar opening weekend. For start-ers, it made its stars and writers Matt Damon

and Ben Affleck recognized as leading men and skilled filmmakers. It also brought the music of singer-songwriter Elliott Smith to a wider au-dience – one of his contributions to the film’s soundtrack, “Miss Misery,” received an Oscar nod for Best Song. And, finally, the film stands as a testament to Robin Williams’ brilliance as a dramatic actor, showcasing one of his most delicate and heartrending performances.

The movie follows Will Hunting (Damon), a 20-year-old MIT janitor and genius haunted by a childhood of abuse. When Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard) discovers Will’s brilliance and his impending incarceration for as-sault, Lambeau attempts to motivate the young genius and help him avoid jail by placing him in therapy with psychologist Sean Maguire (Wil-liams). Maguire and Lambeau, along with Will’s friend Chuckie (Ben Affleck) and girlfriend, Sky-lar (Minnie Driver), struggle to connect with Will and motivate him to reach his potential.

Williams’ performance as Maguire won him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but its signifi-cance lies beyond accolades. The advice Magu-ire (and, by giving life and wisdom to the char-acter, Williams) gives Will, and his insistence that “it’s not your fault,” has touched countless more people than just the fictional recipient. It’s this performance and these small moments that give Good Will Hunting its lasting impact. Roger Ebert put it best in his review of the film: “The outcome of the movie is fairly predictable; so is the whole story, really. It’s the individual moments, not the payoff, that make it so effec-tive.” —by Lauren Cox

Louie (2010-present)Louie is a TV show that capitalizes on inappro-

priate comedy. That said, it’s important to note that “inappropriate” as it relates to this show is not defined as crass humor such as sex jokes, but more akin to the situational inappropriate-ness of, say, laughing at a funeral. As I was mara-thoning through Louie, I got to “Barney/Never”, where Robin Williams and Louie meet at a funeral. They joke about how they were the only two that showed up and neither of them are really fond of the dead person, but they go on a short adventure to a strip club the man frequented to learn more about him. Throughout the episode, they explore the theme of death, ending with the cruelly pre-scient joke that one of them has to attend the other’s funeral. More importantly, the episode was a showcase of Robin Williams’ range and adaptability as an actor. Williams’ performance in Barney/Never is far more somber and sarcas-tic than his usual roles, but he still executes it with skill. Seeing Williams’s hair graying and eyes drooping compared to his iconic roles in Dead Poets Society or Hook, I was still happy that he re-mained delightfully funny and energetic. A week after I had watched the episode, Robin Williams had passed away; a bittersweet irony that usually frequents episodes of Louie more than it occurs in reality. As unfortunate as the timing may be, I’m glad that my last insight into his life was one that painted him as a good-natured comedian who acted with grace and skill. Williams can rest knowing that more than two people mourned his death, evidence of the many lives that he touched through his acting. —by Alex Wen

FROM SAKANAYA TO KARAOKEMiga Opens, Combining Fine Dining and NightlifeBY PAUL ANGELILLO

On the back of Sakanaya’s whirlwind intro-duction and domination of CU’s sushi

scene this past year, Miga, owner Jin Park’s second restaurant, is set to open this Friday in downtown Champaign. While the area is certainly not lacking in fine dining options and a vibrant bar scene, Miga has its sights set on being the hotspot that brings both concepts together. Ahead of tonight’s launch, the restaurant hosted a soft opening last Thursday that gave a perfect account of just what they hope to offer CU’s foodies, bar dwellers and aspiring singers.

Though Miga’s entrance—nestled under an awning directly next to Destihl on Church St.—might not catch the eye like its neighbors, it’s what’s inside that clearly counts. Stepping through the front door, we were greeted and encourage to visit the bar stretching along the back wall of the room. A sleek combination of stone and wood, the bar area is impressive but still understated, making great use of Miga’s high ceilings to draw the eyes upward towards a wide array of libations. While the bar wasn’t

featuring any special offerings, our bartender was still knowledgeable and talented, pouring us Old Fashioneds, whiskey sours, and gin and ton-ics that stood up to CU’s usual favorite spots. In all, the bar showed a carefully curated selection of bottles, everything from high-end scotches to some of the Japanese beer on offer at Sakanaya. While food is undoubtedly the larger curiosity, pulling up a seat to Miga’s bar will not leave you disappointed.

Miga’s dining room expands on the bar’s décor, introducing faded brick pillars alongside other lin-gering touches of good, giving off a blend of urban and Eastern styles that matches the cuisine. While there are echoes of Sakanaya’s design in Miga (not surprising since Park designed both restaurants), it’s an expansion and refinement of the former’s look that proves successful. Our exposure to Miga’s menu was limited to four hors d’oeuvres, but each one was a very telling bite to the restaurant’s style.

Our experience with the cuisine, which I would class as a blend of Contemporary Asian and Ameri-

can, began with a skewer of ceviche. With one me-dium-sized shrimp and a similarly sized scallop, the skewer was tangy and well-seasoned, the freshness of the seafood shining through. Sakanaya brought

in such fresh fish and seafood on a constant basis, it would be foolish of Miga not to make the most of its sister restaurant’s delicious stock.

RECORDS RELOCATEDError Records looks to flourish in new locationBY LAUREN AGUIRRE

S ince opening its doors over a year ago, Error Records has been creating quite a buzz in

Champaign-Urbana. The space has been doubling as a record store and music venue open to all ages. However, founder Nathan Landolt has always had a bigger vision. The past space, located on Neil Street in Champaign did serve the purpose of creating an all-ages venue, but Landolt believed its location made the space fall below its full po-tential. So, when the opportunity presented itself, Error Records made the move to its new location at 123 W. Main St., right in the heart of a growing downtown Urbana. The new space will continue to function as a record store and music venue, as well as some having some great new additions for music lovers. We caught up with Landolt to learn a little more about his move, the local music scene and what is in store for Error Records.

buzz: If people are not familiar with Error Records

yet, can you tell us what all you have to offer?Nathan Landolt: First, it is a record store and

it is also a music venue. Within that is also a practice rehearsal space, and I also occasionally release music, mostly on cassette tapes and sometimes vinyl.

buzz: Why did you decide to move to downtown Urbana from your previous location?

NL: Our previous location was just kind of se-cluded. It was not exactly easy to get to. It was not really out of the way; it just was not convenient for people. That and the building was pretty old, so we wanted to get out of there. Then we heard this building and space was opening up and it’s a downtown location, which is much better. Also, I think that Urbana is much more progressive, and they have welcomed us with open arms, asking all these questions about if I was actually going to do it or not, so it was really nice to feel welcome.

buzz: How will this venue be different?

NL: The space is slightly smaller and has a split-level basement, so one big difference is that it is two separate spaces now. The venue is separate from the record store, and you no longer have to walk through the store to get to the performance space. I’m not booking many of the shows myself now, either. A smaller percentage of the door charge will go to the venue, and the rest will go to the band or whoever’s doing the show. I just want to encourage more people to do shows and get involved and honestly, it’s just too stressful for me. Also, Farm League Skateshop is right up-stairs. It was kind of, I needed someone up in that space to be able to do this for myself as well, but I wanted something that made sense and incor-porated music. Something that people would be interested in as well. Skateboarding, long board-ing and music just kind of go hand-in-hand.

buzz: Do you have any events coming up?NL: The only show that is completely 100 per-

cent is on September 12, and it is kind of a goth/metal/rock type of show. As far as future stuff, we are trying to release more music and get back into the swing of that. For a while, I was releasing stuff every month or so and putting a lot of effort into it but, I haven’t been doing that with the move, and it’s just financially straining sometimes. But I have a release coming out for Cassette Tape Day; that’s September 27. It is like Record Store Day, but it is just for cassette tapes. It’s not very big yet, it is only the second year that it’s happening, but I have a release for that. It would be awesome to have a show too or something since it’s on a Saturday but, it is coming up in only a month, and I already have a lot to do with ordering tapes. But the main thing is there is probably going to be some sort of sale involving tapes and releases that are only available that day and only on cassette tape, so people should come check it out.

buzz: Are shows still going to be open to all ages?

MUSIC


It's the freakin' weekend baby gonna (have me some fun) do more group projects...

Exile on Main Street will be soon moving to 116 N. Chestnut St. in Champaign.

The downtown Champaign store will no longer be located on Main Street. Exile decided to move from the One Main location last year, deciding to relocate due to financial reasons, according to a post made on the store’s Facebook page.

The store has been located on Main Street for the past decade and has hosted both Pygmalion and Record Store Day shows over the past few years, in addition to its mainstay as a go-to retailer for local and non-local pop culture, including music, films and magazines.

Like Error, Exile will be partnering with another local business at its new location – Dandelion Vintage Clothing. Black Dog Smoke & Ale House and Maize Mexican Grill will also be opening their second locations next door to the record store.

Exile will be open by the time of Pygmalion Music Festival, Sept. 25-28, when the store will host live music on Saturday and Sunday of the festival. - Sean Neumann

NL: Yes! Shows are always going to be all ages, so that’s not an issue for people.

buzz: What is your future plans for Error Records?NL: Just to get the venue back up to where it was

before, it has been kind of a long process of getting everything together and finalized. Just so it is its own operating machine, it’s working itself out and everyone’s happy. That and getting the practice rehearsal space up, I’d like to see that get used a little more. People are utilizing it, but I don’t think enough people know about it yet.

buzz: Can you tell us a little more about the prac-tice space?

NL: It is just an hourly thing. You can be an in-dividual or a band, and you can just schedule a time through our website. You can use some of the gear that’s down there, or you can bring your own. I know a lot of times, people come to me and, they would like to play a show, but their band has nowhere to practice. I’ve already noticed that with the old store, I was doing it after hours and letting people practice in the venue. Some of those bands have gotten to go on tour now because they were able to practice so much and record an album and all that, so it’s a great thing and a nice marriage between the venue and that.

buzz: How have you seen the music scene in Cham-paign-Urbana change since opening?

NL: I’ve noticed that more people are getting involved, especially when it comes to booking shows. A lot of bands, I could tell, wanted to take charge and book a whole show, but they never really had a place to do it, so this is definitely an opportunity for them to be able to do that. I’ve also seen a lot of younger bands—like kids from high school—playing shows, which is really great. I know that they can do stuff like battle of the bands, but that is still not really what they are

after; they want to be a part of everything else. And unfortunately, a lot of downtown and the bar scene, it’s good, but the venues are 18+ ,so they can’t get involved. Also some people who are a little put off by house shows can have the op-portunity to still come to shows and get involved as well. A lot of different types of music happen here, so people know they can come out and see something new and great.

buzz: Why should people come to Error Records, buy records, see shows instead of just buying a song on online?

NL: Well, I could go on about that forever. I feel like if you want to support an artist, you should really buy and enjoy the whole record. If you’re just downloading digital music to go running or something it makes sense, but a lot of times if you buy a record it comes with a digital download code. For me, digital is just super compressed. It doesn’t sound as good, and the quality just isn’t there. So that’s a big reason to go out and buy a record. But to actually come into the store, I get a lot of out people asking me about stuff just as much as me asking them just about an artist or music they have no idea about. It kind of opens up your mind more than just looking at a blog online and not really understanding a lot of it. Having conversations about music just kind of sticks with you. Also, there is a lot of local stuff here—lots of local musicians shop here—so you’re going to meet people. If you want to get into the music scene and you don’t know anyone, just coming here and talking to people is a really good way.

“DRAWING WITH LIGHT”Local artist celebrates film photography in new exhibit at the Urbana Museum of PhotographyBY ANGELA HEADLEY

In a world of digital ease, it’s becoming rare to see someone invest the time to take

photos the classic way. But one local artist still be-lieves that traditional film photography is capable of making great art and wants to share his pas-sion with the community. To celebrate the 175th anniversary of photography, Lyosha Svinarski, a local artist and director of the Urbana Museum of Photography, is hosting “Drawing with Light,” an exhibit meant to not only showcase his own work but also showcase the timeless beauty of film photography.

The museum, located in downtown Urbana, will be showing a collection of Svinarski’s black and white photographs through September 27. The photos dis-played include composed still lifes and landscapes of places around Urbana. The work was done in silver gelatin prints, and prints of his work are also

available for purchase at the museum.All prints were made using the darkroom tech-

nique, a process that could be split into three parts: Taking the photo, processing the negative and mak-ing the print. It’s the third part that suddenly requires the artist to take on another role and pick up a differ-ent set of tools for the sake of his craft.

“When you go into the dark room to work with your negatives and your print, that’s when you all of a sudden became the chemist,” Svinarski said. “Every step has its own ‘formula’, which needs to be acknowledged before being changed according to personal aesthetic.”

Svinarski’s personal aesthetic comes from his his-tory as a self-taught painter. A fascination with the way colors changed under the light became the base for his work in black and white photography, helping shape the resulting monochromatic photographs.

“All the grays, whites and blacks resulted from the changing of colors under the light,” Svinarski said. “So I would say that, paradoxically, colors are my influences as well as the art of painting in general.”

In terms of photography, Svinarski also took influ-ence from Pictorialism, a photo movement in the

early 1900s that was also rooted in painting.“The subject of photography was a little

blurry, more intimate, more romantic, ideal, done with intimacy and a very good sense of humanity,” Svinarski said.

COMMUNITY

“UP”ING THE ANTEChampaign-Urbana’s Uniting Pride throws its Fifth Annual Pride Fest at new location, with first paradeBY CARLY GUBBINS

“Live. Love. Be.”

That is Uniting Pride’s theme of this year’s Pride Fest. A reflection of the major breakthroughs that marriage equality reached in the U.S., the theme also ties in nicely with the major changes that the organization has made to this year’s celebration.

Uniting Pride, CU’s multi-service LGBT organi-zation, is changing the way the community cel-ebrates pride in a big way. This Saturday, Sept. 6, is the center’s Fifth Annual Pride Fest (the orga-nization turns five years-old in December) and, while the festival has been around for as long as the organization, improvements have been made to better unite the community.

This year is UP’s first time hosting the festival outdoors in downtown Champaign. In past years, it was always held inside Lincoln Square Mall in Urbana. “We want to focus on getting the event in downtown Champaign... to where we have an event like Blues, Brews and BBQ, the Sweet Corn Festival and some of the other festivals in the area that people enjoy,” UP Administer and Pride Fest event chair Heath Peterson said. He has been of-ficially working for UP for roughly a year and a half and volunteered for all of its Pride Fests.

Peterson is excited for UP’s Pride Fest Parade, which is a new addition that the new venue af-fords the annual celebration. “I think that’s prob-ably been the most fun (to plan), with getting the agencies and people together and seeing their excitement,” he said.

The parade, which starts at 5 p.m. on Chestnut and Main streets, will feature floats from Bud Light, Boltini Lounge, the Champaign Urbana Theatre Company and DJ Randall. “He is build-ing a float with The Zone Nightclub, and he’ll be playing pride-anthem type music to add a little festivity,” Peterson said. Amasong, Champaign-Urbana’s premiere lesbian and feminist chorus, will also be marching and singing in the parade.

“The City of Champaign has been really great in helping plan (the parade),” Peterson said. “We’re kind of doing the same route as the (Champaign Center Partnership’s) Parade of Lights... and they’ve been really great in giving us tips and kind of showing us the ropes.”

Before the parade’s debut, plenty of other activi-

ties and programs will be available for festival goers. Pride Fest kicks off at noon with UP’s Trans* Clothing Swap at the Hyatt Place. Here, Peterson says, mem-bers of the Trans community can come in and try on and buy clothing that fits their gender expressions. “Sometimes it’s really hard to go out shopping to get clothes that might not look like your gender, so this will be a safe environment.”

UP is also providing seven free workshops. At noon, guests can visit the family law, belly dancing or biblical self-defense workshops. Sexual violence and tolerating difference workshops will be available for visitors at 1 p.m., while the sex education and HIV prevention workshops will start at 2 p.m.

From 3 to 9 p.m., the Fest will begin its Vendor Expo, which includes Planned Parenthood, Greater Community AIDS Project and Equality Illinois, and kids’ area at the public parking lot at Neil and Wash-ington (in front of Orpheum Children’s Museum).

However, with the festival being outdoors, it loses some of the entertainment it’s had it the past years, “and that’s where the Downtown-area bars are go-ing to come into play,” Peterson said. The earliest after-hours event is a Drag performance at Boltini Lounge at 7 p.m., although there will be other shows at 9 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Local band Upshot will be playing at Memphis on Main at 9.p.m. Chester Street Bar will also be hosting the music and danc-ing of the CU burlesque/vaudeville troupe Carnivale Debauche from 10 to 11 p.m. “It really is a communi-ty-based festival,” Peterson said. “It’ll take us time to grow into the festival we eventually want to be, but having this opportunity to work with the downtown bars... is a goal of ours, as well: To be a community and give back those bars and those restaurants.”

As the “Live. Love. Be.” theme celebrates mar-riage-equality milestones nationwide, it really focuses on what the CU community and the State of Illinois has done for the cause. “The County of Champaign was very eager in issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples,” Peterson said. “It’s kind of a year of coming together, living you’re life and being who you are.” And this is what UP is hop-ing tomorrow’s new and improved celebration will shed light on for the CU community.

A MOST WANTED MANThe Art Theater Co-op, Champaign, Friday, Sept. 5; 7:30 p.m.

On the heels of Tomas Alfredson’s adaptation of the John le Carre novel “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,” yet another of the celebrated spy author’s stories hits the silver screen. Set in Hamburg, a half-Chechen, half-Russian, almost dead man shows up in the city’s Islamic community, ostensibly trying to recover his father’s dubiously obtained fortune. German secret services suspect him of extremism, while lawyer Annabel Richter is determined to defend him. This spy thriller stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe and Grigoriy Dobrygin and is directed by Anton Corbijn.
