The `level` attributes in your configuration file act as a threshold 
filter. If you set `level="DEBUG"` you'll end up with all the log event 
of level DEBUG **or more severe** (INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL).

To filter out only the log events with level **equal** to DEBUG, you can 
use a `LevelMatchFilter`[1]:


<Logger name="edu.uiuc.fs" level="DEBUG">

   <AppenderRef ref="DEBUG_LOG">

     <LevelMatchFilter level="DEBUG"/>

   </AppenderRef>

</Logger>
