on March 24, including the approval of a new animal control policy and the creation of an Evanston Animal Shelter Fund. The CARE board of directors responded to the provisions Friday
in a letter to Bobkiewicz. Bobkiewicz said in his memorandum to the committee it is “unclear” to him if “CARE wishes to engage in further
The shooting happened at 7:39 p.m. on West Howard Street, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Ana Pacheco. A 24-year-old man was taken in critical condition to St. Francis Hospital, 355 Ridge Ave., where he was later pronounced dead, Pacheco said. A 33-yearold man was transported to St. Francis with gunshot wounds to the hip and stomach and was in serious condition.
A third victim walked into St. Francis with a gunshot wound to the right clavicle, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer. The victim, a 27-year-old man, was in stable condition at St. Francis, Greer said. The shooting occurred near the Chicago-Evanston border.
“Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do” has been selected as the book for the 2014-15 One Book One Northwestern program. “Whistling Vivaldi,” written by social psychologist Claude Steele, tackles issues of race and the role of stereotypes in society. The book will be mandatory reading for the class of 2018 this summer. Eugene Lowe, who chairs the book selection committee made up of faculty, students and people previously involved with One Book programming, learned about a traveling exhibit on race coming to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center in October and felt the book would be an interesting complement. “One of the topics that we like to find ways to address in some regular way in the University have to do with issues of race in difference and experience of different students, and in the process of thinking of that, the title of Claude Steele’s ‘Whistling Vivaldi’ came to our attention,” he said. After members of the committee read the book over Winter Break, they discussed the ability of “Whistling Vivaldi” to translate to additional programming throughout next year. Lowe, a lecturer in the Department of Religious Studies and assistant to the University President, then took the recommendation to President Morton Schapiro for approval in January. Theatre Prof. Harvey Young, associate chair of the Theatre department, was chosen as next year’s One Book faculty chair, which means he will focus on programming and activities related to “Whistling Vivaldi.” Young said during the past year, about 60 events were held relating to this year’s book, “The Last Hunger Season.” He plans for a similar number of events next year between NU’s Evanston, Chicago and Qatar campuses. The events will range from theater performances to speakers to a visit to the “RACE: Are We So Different?” exhibit at the Holocaust Museum in Skokie, co-sponsored by the YWCA Evanston/North Shore. Lowe said Young was selected because of his background and ability to look at issues through an artistic lens. “We wanted someone whose work is deeply engaged in these issues, and I thought it was a particularly interesting opportunity to have someone who comes at these issues from a vantage of theater and performance studies,” Lowe said. Young was not involved with the book selection process but said he thinks the book is a good choice and hopes it will help ignite important conversations across campus. “I think that it’s a book that asks

Woman in custody after 3 hit-and-run crashes
A person is in custody in connection with a series of three car crashes in Evanston on Sunday morning that injured four people, including the driver. The 63-year-old woman in custody was driving the 2007 Toyota Camry which was involved in the crashes. She is currently at St. Francis Hospital, 355 Ridge Ave., receiving treatment. Preliminary tests for alcohol and illicit substances came back negative. The first hit-and-run crash occurred in the intersection of Church Street and Ridge Avenue in downtown Evanston at approximately 10:30 a.m, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. In the second crash a short time later, the same car struck another car and a motor scooter in south Evanston in the 600 block of Chicago Avenue. Police said the drivers of those two vehicles sustained minor injuries. Parrott said the third crash occurred nearby in the intersection of Custer Avenue and Main Street. The woman hit a 48-year-old on his bike. The cyclist, a Chicago resident, was admitted to the intensive care unit in the same hospital as the driver and was in serious condition as of 5 p.m. Monday. Police are currently determining criminal charges. — Julian Gerez
debate. About 35 people, which consisted of mostly ASG representatives, gathered to watch the presidential and executive vice presidential tickets discuss their platforms and topical issues on campus, using some student-submitted questions. The presidential candidates’ discussion was framed largely around their different experiences. Deitchman painted himself and his running mate Ronak Patel as a duo
that would fundamentally change how ASG operates. He also said his life experience would be an asset in working with NU administrators. “When I was your age I was ... being deployed to Iraq,” Deitchman said. “Eight years later, and now I’m here.” Deitchman, 27, said his age meant administrators would take him seriously. Watson, a Weinberg junior, countered this statement saying that maturity mattered more than age
when interacting with administrators. She noted she had been taken seriously in all of her past interactions with NU officials in her previous roles in ASG. “I don’t think that’s a negative aspect of our ticket at all,” Watson said. “There’s been a lot of different conversations that I’ve been involved in that I have been taken seriously in.” » See Debate, page 7
CARE heads to City Council By julian gerez

The Evanston Human Services Committee decided Monday to recommend that City Council not negotiate further with the Community Animal Rescue Effort about new proposals that would govern the city’s relationship with CARE and other volunteer animal organizations. Ald. Delores Holmes (5th) said no matter what happens with the future of the shelter, there should be the respect, cooperation and communication for “any kind of partnership to work” between the city and the organization that runs the shelter. “Everybody has fault in this, and I think the city has fault in this,” Holmes said. “But we’ve learned and we want to move forward.” Last week, aldermen on the committee decided that if CARE is to continue working with the city, it must accept the provisions put forward by city manager Wally Bobkiewicz
