University moms took over the campus bars this past weekend. With an increase in business, campus bars catered to the influx of moms by altering drink menus and raising prices.

Champaign

Moms Weekend changed the campus’ atmosphere as women took over campus, some visiting alumnae of the University, some who have witnessed several Moms Weekends and some first-timers.

During a rally at West Side Park held by members of the local Tea Party on Thursday, Champaign Mayor Gerald Schweighart said he believed President Barack Obama was not an American citizen because he has not produced a birth certificate proving he was born in the United States.

The 304 West Washington ordinance was approved by the Urbana City Council at its Monday night meeting, despite three votes in opposition to the plan.

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini is following up the Salary Guide published March 9 with a two-day series looking at the effects of race and gender on faculty salaries. Today’s story discusses the topic of race and how the University is beginning to study its effects with a statistical salary analysis. Tomorrow’s story will cover the topic of gender and what can be done to correct inequalities during the current budget crisis.
