ASG elects new speaker of Senate Freshman Adam Downing will take over the role

By GABBY BIRENBAUM

daily senior staffer @birenbomb

Associated Student Government Senate elected Weinberg freshman Adam Downing as its newest speaker of the Senate. Downing, currently a residential senator, defeated Weinberg sophomore Dillon Saks. He will succeed Weinberg senior Daniella Lumpkin as speaker. Downing said his passion for Senate and his commitment to efficiency make him the right choice. He said he will go through votes and procedure quickly to make the process as “painless” as possible. “My purpose in Senate has primarily been on efficiency (and) making sure you guys get as much time to talk with your constituents and make Northwestern the best possible place it can be,” he said. Downing is part of the Distinguished Secondary Teacher Award committee, which awards high school teachers who have positively impacted graduating seniors. He has also worked on the Senate Reform Committee and the Rules Committee. And as a member

of the ASG team that hosted Improve NU — an entrepreneurial competition — Downing said he helped acquire a drone to get aerial footage of campus. Lumpkin said she was confident in Downing’s ability to lead Senate and collaborate with new parliamentarian Henry Molnar. She said he was very active on the Senate Reform Committee and had previously approached her about his enthusiasm for Senate. “He’s very capable and definitely will be good at the job,” Lumpkin told The Daily. “He asks questions when he doesn’t know things.” Saks, who serves as the current election commissioner and lost the speaker election, also said he hoped to achieve new heights of Senate productivity. However, he said, his experience on the Rules Committee uniquely qualified him for the role because his knowledge of the ASG code would ensure that every voice is heard during Senate. Saks added that he wanted to carry on the work of Lumpkin while building a “solid foundation” for his successor. Earlier in the meeting, ASG President Nehaarika Mulukutla introduced a Finance Committee code change that would remove A- and B-status » See SPEAKER, page 6

Expert talks Chicago gun crime UChicago Crime Lab executive director addresses local audience By CHRISTOPHER VAZQUEZ

When the number of homicides in Chicago reached 762 in 2016, Roseanna Ander took note with concern. “These are people connected to

families and connected to communities,” said Ander, executive director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab. “These aren’t just numbers.” On Wednesday, Ander spoke at the Woman’s Club of Evanston — 1702 Chicago Ave. — about the impact of the sharp increase in homicides, its potential causes and

new efforts that have contributed to curbing that spike. Among those efforts is the implementation of Strategic Decision Support Centers, which aim to expand data on violence in Chicago, she said. The centers have rolled out software that determines the likely locations of homicides, and they’ve

started holding daily briefings to aid police commanders in giving assignments to officers. Ander said the 2016 rise in the homicide rate may have been caused by the strained relationships between police and community members after the 2014 » See ANDER, page 6

Kim, Gardner to focus on wellbeing Police complaint In ASG run, 2 SESP students to prioritize student agency, equity By ALAN PEREZ

daily senior staffer @_perezalan

Justine Kim said she remembers her peers insisting they had already found a friend group and determined their life plans just days into Wildcat Welcome. The SESP junior soon discovered that the act was a “facade” and began to question why many students portray composure while they struggle to “stay afloat.” “If so many of us can relate to that, why are we not talking about it?” she said. “Why are we not just being open about it and having it out on the table and trying to figure out at the core what exactly is the problem?” In her run for Associated Student Government president, Kim said she hopes to begin a cultural shift toward acknowledging that struggle. SESP sophomore Austin Gardner, Kim’s running mate, said the first step in making these changes is to stop “normalizing” work at the expense of wellbeing. Both Kim and Gardner said they’ve felt pressured to prioritize work over their health. Gardner

The Citizen Police Complaint Assessment Committee revealed a new draft of a revised complaint form at a Wednesday meeting, addressing the dissatisfaction expressed in a recent survey. The survey, which was distributed in February in English and in Spanish, aimed to gauge the public’s familiarity and satisfaction with filing a complaint. Of the 125 respondents, 37 percent did not know there was a complaint process and 30 percent were aware of the process but unsure of how it worked. Only 23 respondents said they had filed a complaint and were generally dissatisfied with the process. “There’s room for improvement,” committee member Karen Courtright said at the meeting. “(Like a) better intake process

characterized by someone who will make the complainant feel confident that they’re going to be taken seriously.” She added that a significant number of comments from the survey said a “lack of trust” exists among residents filing complaints to the police department. Committee members Jeff Parker and Peter Demuth addressed some of the concerns expressed in the survey through the new draft of the complaint form. On a scale of one to five, respondents who had filed complaints ranked the overall clarity of the current form at 2.4. “We tried to make it as simple as possible,” Demuth said about the new complaint form. In the updated draft, Parker and Demuth omitted “unnecessary information” like driver’s license numbers. They also clarified why complainants need to provide their name, address and phone number. Courtright said some complainants “fear retaliation” with the current process, but the new form explains that certain contact » See COMPLAINT, page 6

EPD, businesses begin alcohol awareness campaign By CATHERINE HENDERSON daily senior staffer @caity_henderson

The Evanston Police Department and local businesses will partner with the Evanston Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition to kickstart a month-long campaign targeting underage drinking. The campaign, titled YOUR ACTIONS MATTER!, is a statewide effort sponsored by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission. On Thursday, Evanston community members will distribute posters and put labels on bottles at participating businesses — including World of Beer, the Wine Goddess and Evanston 1st Liquors — to remind people that the legal drinking age is 21. “Usually when underage people get liquor, it’s provided by adults,” said Julia Brownfield, chair of the alcohol committee for the Evanston coalition and a prevention specialist at PEER Services, a drug addiction treatment center. “We hope (the campaign) is going to bring awareness to remind adults that it’s everyone’s responsibility to prevent underage drinking.” Evanston police communications coordinator Perry Polinski said targeting liquor establishments is an important part of the effort to

Police were called to CVS Pharmacy, 101 Asbury St., at about 12 p.m. on Tuesday for an attempted theft of pain medication, according to Evanston police communications coordinator Perry Polinski.

prevent underage alcohol consumption. He said the state’s Liquor Control Commission holds compliance checks a few times a year, and the campaign aligns with the city’s police department’s efforts to prevent underage drinking. “(Underage drinking) is a public health issue,” Polinski said. “We can decrease the amount of incidents that are alcohol-related, whether it’s loud parties, disturbances (or) vehicle crashes.” Polinski said EPD is also emphasizing the importance of businesses’ compliance in addressing underage consumption of tobacco and other illicit substances. Cassy Byrne, general manager at World of Beer, said responsible vending is a large part of her industry. She said her employees work hard to ensure they do not serve minors or over serve their of-age customers. “Of course we’re crazy about beer, but we need to do it safely and responsibly,” Byrne said. “Because we have a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking, we put a lot of emphasis on drinking responsibly.” Byrne said World of Beer confiscates the fake IDs they find and does not allow minors in the business after 9 p.m. She said she and her employees see “quite a bit” of fake IDs, and she attributed this to the proximity to Northwestern. Brownfield said the Evanston Substance matched that of a suspect from a previous theft. Police canvassed the area near CVS and located a man that matched the description of the subject, Polinski said. He said the Chicago man identified himself using an alias, which resulted in him being charged with obstructing identification. After police discovered the man’s identity, they also found he was wanted by the Lincolnwood and Cicero Police Departments for failure to appear in court in relation to two separate retail theft charges. Police charged him with obstructing identification.

Weinberg sophomore Henry Molnar elected as ASG parliamentarian

Weinberg sophomore Henry Molnar was elected Associated Student Government parliamentarian at Wednesday’s Senate. Molnar previously served on the Rules Committee and worked on the ASG code review. He said one of his priorities as parliamentarian would be to have more consistent Rules Committee meetings. “Although Slack is a good tool and everything, that’s not the most productive space for getting stuff to happen,” he said. “Those times we did meet in person, it was a game changer. We pumped out so much.” Molnar will succeed Communication senior Corey Schwaitzberg, who took over for SESP junior Justine Kim after she resigned at the Feb. 21 Senate meeting. Molnar will officially be sworn in at next week’s Senate. He ran uncontested, but highlighted a

Journalists Rachel Nichols (Medill ’95) and Sheinelle Jones (Medill ’00) will speak as part of the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications’ commencement ceremonies, the school announced Wednesday. “We are thrilled to welcome Sheinelle and Rachel back to campus to speak to our graduates this year,” Medill Dean Brad Hamm said in a news release. “Both have actively supported our students with career advice, visits to campus and opening their workplaces to visiting Medill students. Their exemplary careers will inspire our newest alumni as they begin their own careers.”

Nichols is the host of “The Jump,” a daily show on ESPN focused on the NBA. She’s also a contributor to other ESPN programming including “SportsCenter” and “Outside the Lines.” She previously worked for Turner Sports. Jones works as a co-anchor of NBC’s “Weekend TODAY ” and also contributes to “TODAY ” and “MSNBC Live.” Before joining NBC, she was the co-host of “Good Day Philadelphia” on FOX. In the release, Nichols said she was excited for the opportunity to speak at Northwestern. “To call my time at Northwestern ‘formative’ would be a colossal understatement — it shaped so much of the journalist, and the person, I’ve turned out to be,” she said. “I’m so thrilled to have the chance to come back and be even a small part of that same experience for this year’s graduating class.” — Jonah Dylan

number of priorities he’d like to institute as parliamentarian. “I want to hold office hours,” Molnar said. “This is something that’s extremely important for the facilitation of the student Senate: to be able to write legislation effectively and get the institutional knowledge from a person like the parliamentarian.” Molnar also said he wants to change the ASG code reviews from annual to bi-annual. As a Rules Committee member, he highlighted his ability to be impartial when considering if a piece of legislation should be submitted to Senate. Daniella Lumpkin, the outgoing speaker of the Senate, said Molner will be a very successful parliamentarian. “I think he’s a perfect choice,” the Weinberg senior said. “He’s very good at specifically doing the functions that will be necessary for the job as well as being a person that’s very reliable.” Gabby Birenbaum contributed reporting. — Jonah Dylan

NU Symphony Orchestra looks back on China tour By MADELEINE FERNANDO

daily senior staffer @madeleinemelody

Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra returned from its 10-day Asia tour on Sunday, which Prof. Victor Yampolsky, director of orchestras and the group’s conductor, described as “nothing short of a dream.” The trip, which was fully funded by an anonymous donor and his wife, marked the first international tour for NUSO, Yampolsky said. Despite language barriers, scheduling miscalculations and 12-hour jet lag, Yampolsky said NUSO delivered three “outstanding performances” in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong that were met with enthusiastic reception and standing ovations. Yampolsky said the three cities were “very unique,” remarking that the venues and attendees of the performances varied across locations. Danielle Ray, the orchestra librarian and

administrative assistant to the orchestras, said she was surprised audience members in Asia seemed to be “less enthusiastic” for Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances,” a piece she said often receives multiple curtain calls from American audiences. Yampolsky expressed a similar sentiment, and said he was shocked following the performance of Bernstein’s piece in Beijing. “I thought, ‘Who are you guys?’” Yampolsky said. “I brought this piece for you because I thought you would recognize it’s one of the most popular pop music … yet, when it was over, they didn’t know to clap or what.” In contrast, the group’s second piece — Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony No. 5” — was met with wide acclaim, said Jerry Tietz, Bienen School of Music’s director of concert management. “(The applause) was more than I think is typical in the States even for the most appreciative audiences,” Tietz said. “I saw more curtain calls for that Mahler in Asia than I think I’ve maybe seen for

anything symphonically in the States.” In addition to showcasing the talent of Northwestern musicians internationally, Tietz said one of the tour’s underlying goals was to strengthen alumni and donor relations. NUSO performed for more than 1,000 people at each of the three venues, including about 250 to 400 alumni who were invited to a reception following each show. As a result of the tour, Yampolsky said Bienen received two significant scholarships from two anonymous donors — one for $1.5 million and another for $500,000. While the three concerts remained the focus of NUSO’s trip, musicians also had the opportunity to explore each city through group programming and free time, visiting sites like the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and local markets in Shanghai and Hong Kong, Tietz said. Bienen sophomore Tara Pagano-Toub, a violinist in NUSO, said the “emotional investment” of the group noticeably changed between their first

and last performance. The tour, she said, brought the orchestra together in a way she had never seen before. “By the time we left, I just looked at everyone with a lot of affection and love,” Pagano-Toub said. “I had gotten to know them so well and it felt like way more of a meaningful experience not just making music, but making music with friends.” Yampolsky said while the impact of the trip cannot fully be measured yet, he is optimistic that the tour will positively affect application numbers and Bienen’s reputation going forward. The tour reaffirmed not only the professionalism and caliber of NUSO’s musicians, but their admirable “human qualities” as well, Yampolsky said. “What I knew about Northwestern students I had the chance to see it confirmed, the quality of our students,” Yampolsky said. “They did our school proud by delivering phenomenal concerts.” madeleinefernando2020@u.northwestern.edu

Local theater group opens immersive show on self-help By VICTORIA LEE

the daily northwestern @dreamertorii

In a world oversaturated with TED Talks, panels and podcasts intended to transform ways of thinking, many rely on these self-help tools to successfully navigate through life. Nonprofit Chicago-based theater organization Nothing Without a Company investigates this phenomenon in its production of “Cornerstone.” The show opens April 5 at Artspace 8 in Chicago and runs every Thursday through Sunday until April 29. The piece is an immersive theater production in which audience members attend a seemingly regular seminar hosted by an eponymous self-help organization. Kenya Ann Hall (Communication ’15) said Cornerstone, the made-up institution hosting the seminar, is an organization that aims to help the audience “throw away limitations” to “actualize their full potential.” “The audience is supposed to be experiencing (the play) … just walking into something that appears to be a lecture, but might also be something much more sinister than that,” said Hall, who plays a skeptical audience member. Hall said some of the audience members, including herself, are actors pretending to be Cornerstone initiates or longtime customers. However, this distinction is not made clear from the beginning, leaving spectators on edge. Through this uncertainty, the play aims to make the audience question the believability of the information

presented and ponder the prevalence of mob mentality, she said. Co-artistic director Hannah Ii-Epstein said the play is based on the experience of company ensemble member Jake Fruend, whose friend joined an organization very similar to

Cornerstone. After attending a seminar hosted by that organization himself, Fruend witnessed firsthand the organization’s persuasive tactics, noting its resemblance to “a cult or pyramid scheme.” This sparked his initial conception of the play, Ii-Epstein said.

The production involves a unique amount of audience participation, Ii-Epstein said. Attendees can roam their environment freely and interact with actors or just sit and watch the show unfold. Similarly, the cast is influenced by the audience as well. This strays from the traditional, more detached style of enjoying theater, Ii-Epstein said. “We’re flipping theater on its head. … We try to allow our audience to really be more into the show,” she said. “If they said something it might change the way the show works. So it’s the idea that you’re not seeing, you’re experiencing.” Ii-Epstein and Hall said the name Cornerstone falls in line with the architectural language that is harnessed in the script. Both said the concept of a cornerstone — which is used to form the foundation of a building — reflects the central idea of helping the audience discover their principles and reach their maximum potentials. Playwright Kevin Sparrow said much of the script was created in collaboration with the actors, and together they worked from design books to apply the language of construction to self-help speak. When asked how the idea surfaced in the first place, he said the architecture motif has been integral to much of his writing and poetry. “When you live in a city, it becomes difficult not to think about what is constructed around you and the idea of construction — what goes into your life and what constructs it socially as well as physically,” said Sparrow. “If I’m thinking of that kind of thing as a theme, it becomes a really easy visual for me to grasp onto.” victorialee2021@u.northwestern.edu

Treblemakers emphasize identity on California tour By ANDREA MICHELSON

daily senior staffer @amichelson18

McCormick sophomore Patricia Song was not planning on pursuing music in college, but she caught the a cappella bug when Northwestern’s Treblemakers visited her Seoul high school in 2016. Two years later, Song said she felt her journey came full circle when she traveled to California with the Treblemakers to perform for younger students and foster conversations about Asian American identity. The Treblemakers, NU’s only East Asianinterest a cappella group, set out on their firstever California tour this Spring Break. They spent eight days performing a mix of American and Asian pop songs throughout northern and southern California, according to the group’s GoFundMe page. McCormick senior Bodhi Alarcón, manager of the Treblemakers, said the group performed in several high schools across the state and also visited a young adult musical theater company and multiple children’s choirs in the Bay Area. After each performance, the Treblemakers opened up Q&A sessions for students to ask questions about college life, he said. Many of the communities the Treblemakers visited on their tour have large Asian American populations, including Alarcón’s hometown of Millbrae, California. Alarcón said the conversations often touched on demographic differences students may encounter if they go to college in a different region. “We tried to communicate that cultural shock could happen,” Alarcón said. “(We told them) to not be afraid of it, and to also understand that there are organizations like Treblemakers and KASA, ethnic or racial groups like that where you can find the community

of support that you need should you need it.” SueSan Chen, music director of the Treblemakers, said the Q&A sessions were inspired

by the Asian American A Cappella Alliance, a national coalition of Asian American college a cappella groups that meets annually for

a weekend of music and identity workshops. Chen and Alarcón said California’s Asian American population was a strong factor in their decision for a tour location. Another reason was the appeal of performing in many of the members’ hometowns — five of the Treblemakers’ 18 members hail from California. The Californian members of the Treblemakers performed at their old high schools and returned to their childhood choirs and theater companies. Alarcón said a highlight of the tour was visiting the Young People’s Teen Musical Theatre Company in San Francisco, of which he was once an active member. Chen said she enjoyed the whole week and appreciated the opportunity to spend quality time with friends. “When we’re on campus, we spend maybe six hours a week together, which is pretty substantial, but this was nine days of 24 hours a day,” Chen said. “We all got very silly, we slept in the same beds and jammed out together.” To save on funds, the Treblemakers lodged at their members’ family homes for the majority of the trip. Alarcón said several of these families were not able to fly out to NU for past a cappella concerts, so the California tour was their first chance to see their children perform. As a “thank you” to their host families, the Treblemakers performed a few songs each time they arrived at a new house. Song said the experience was both emotional and rewarding. “After the first night, in the morning we sang for our first host family. They were really touched, and those emotions affected all of the members of our a cappella group,” Song said. “We felt really blessed and happy to be on tour, and that we could make people feel so emotional with just this music.” andreamichelson2020@u.northwestern.edu

Dittmar exhibit highlights bedroom artists in digital age By VY DUONG

the daily northwestern @pris_vy

Communication senior Anna Reishus wanted to design something “fun and comforting” for a class art project, so she created 10 circular pillows out of patterned fabric and 20 gallons of Walmart-purchased stuffing. When she heard about Dittmar Gallery’s “Producing the Bedroom Artist” exhibit, she knew her “unusual art piece” would not be wasted. The exhibit opens Friday and seeks to converge public and private space through art. In an increasingly digital age, the gallery explores how art made in an individual’s personal space is created and distributed in today’s society, according to the exhibit’s description. “It’s a much more personal way of looking at producing art and how every individual has their own work space,” said McCormick sophomore Ram Tiwari, one of two curators for the exhibit. Tiwari said the exhibit showcases a diverse collection of styles and artists. Unlike many previous Dittmar exhibits this academic year, “Producing the Bedroom Artist” allowed students, faculty and staff to submit artwork. The gallery will feature 28 pieces by 23 artists, including videos, voice recordings, paintings and collages, Tiwari said. Co-curator Joy Kim (Communication ’18) said she and Tiwari found inspiration for the

exhibit’s theme through a conversation with a friend involved in the “music scene” on campus. He brought up the idea of “bedroom artists,” which immediately resonated with Kim. Kim said the theme exemplifies one of Dittmar’s core goals of serving underrepresented artists. It is inspiring to see the wide range of submissions from individuals passionate about the arts, and not necessarily driven by professional or monetary pursuits, she said. “(This exhibit) is all about bringing the work that you do in private to the rest of the world,” Kim said. Reishus said she wants visitors to enjoy and interact with her pieces. Through her artwork, she hopes to challenge the conventional image of art found in galleries, which she said sometimes can be too abstract and “hyper-intellectual.” “I feel like society puts this obligation on you,” she said. “You go to a museum to be cultured, and there’s value in that, but I think there’s not enough emphasis or value placed on just being able to have fun.” Tiwari said the exhibit aims to help visitors realize anyone can create art and showcase their abilities to the world. While people don’t always share the art they create in their bedrooms, he hopes this exhibit provides a platform for those works to be seen. “All this incredible amount of talent that previously was unviewed is now getting its timeless spotlight,” Tiwari said. vyduong2021@u.northwestern.edu

She added that Chicago gun violence directly affects the Evanston community. “We’re so impacted by what happens in Chicago just living so closely,” Borushek said. “In terms of the way the whole country views Evanston, it’s based on how people view Chicago so it impacts everything from our property values to funding to our schools.” Ander noted that the 50th anniversary of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination fell on the date of her talk. She said since his death, little has improved because the gun homicide rate for black men aged 18 to 24 in Chicago was significantly higher than the rate for men of other races in the same age group.

funding designations. The reform, which Mulukutla said has been a goal of multiple past administrations, will be voted on next week. If the measure passes, there will instead be five financial tiers that clubs apply to for each event, rather than being assigned, she said. In addition, Mulukutla said an Innovation Fund would be created to fund new events, regardless of historical tier. Mulukutla added that the change will make it easier for lower-budget clubs to receive funding

Parkland, Florida, in ongoing efforts to curb gun violence. “On the gun policy front, I do feel that people are now really starting to engage,” Ander said. “I’m sorry that it took Parkland and everything before that, and it’s also tragic that we’ve continued to have a slowmotion massacre in Chicago where it’s one kid, and then another kid and then another kid.” Evanston Community Foundation board chair Diana Cohen attended the event after learning of work the Crime Lab has done with other organizations. She said the community needs to come together to find a solution to violence and crime in Chicago. “It’s not a single-sourced problem,” Cohen said. “It needs to be addressed through social services, prevention and data analytics … It’s gonna take all of us.” Ander agreed that such strategies would significantly impact Chicago’s future. “What happened in our city in 2016 really is an existential threat to the future of the city and the region,” she said, “and the decisions that we make now are gonna make the decision for us about which direction we go in the crossroad that we’re on.”

information is needed when police contact the complainant for follow-up questions. Then, both can move into the next steps of filing the complaint. “The purpose of the form is just to get as much pertinent information as possible from the start so that we can make the investigation process as easy as possible,” Parker said. But committee member Vincent Thomas expressed concern about the language on the form. Types of complaints include “failure to provide protection” and “inappropriate language or attitude” without a further description. “We open ourselves up to having the form be misinterpreted or misused,” Thomas said, “which can draw attention or resources away from the serious complaints and deal with some of the more

frivolous ones.” The new form also notifies the complainant that they will be contacted within seven days of filing the complaint because “OPS (Office of Professional Standards) takes complaints seriously.” The committee plans to include this form in its presentation to the Human Services Committee next month. Committee members have been working in three areas: process and documents, best practices and data. After the May presentation, the existing groups will dissolve and new groups will be formed. The refocused groups, which may concentrate on outreach or alternative dispute resolution, would work until October when the committee must propose its final recommendations to revise the complaint process. nikkibaim2020@u.northwestern.edu

Whereas the previous maximum yearly increase was 3 percent of the prior fund, the new system would have progressive percentage increases. “You should have the mobility and access to move through the system at will, provided you demonstrate capacity,” Mulukutla said. CTEC survey reform legislation was also introduced and will be voted on next week. The body later elected five new members to the Rules Committee. gabriellebirenbaum2021@u.northwestern.edu

“the best candidates for this position” due to their platform’s focus on wellbeing. “They have been genuine since day one,” she said. “They want to make sure that students feel like there’s an option to be healthy and to be happy on this campus. You don’t always have to be stressed out.” In addition to health, their platform includes amplifying the voices of students with marginalized identities, improving accessibility for these students and reforming student group funding, Kim said. Kim said agency and equity will be at the core of the campaign, as not all students have the same agency in maintaining their health or advocating for their interests. Gardner said he hopes to apply the same principles and ideas he pursued as ASG’s vice president for accessibility and inclusion. He joined the accessibility and inclusion committee after he experienced microaggressions and didn’t feel

comfortable in certain spaces, but was “heartened” by the passion and dialogue within the committee, he said. “I want to continue that movement beyond where I am into the rest of ASG because … we can’t speak for everyone,” he said. “We need to make sure that we don’t just make stuff that benefits our space. We need to think about how what we do affects everyone else and be intentional about that.” Kim and Gardner will face Weinberg juniors Sky Patterson and Emily Ash in three debates prior to the April 12 election. Unlike last year’s uncontested election, Kim said this year’s candidates will be forced to be their “best self ” and produce their “best ideas.” “Ultimately, all four of us that are on the ticket want what’s best for the student body,” she said. “Purely having that be the driving force will produce a lot of good ideas that come out and ideas that I hope regardless of who wins at the end … will at one point be brought together.” aperez@u.northwestern.edu

THRILLER

Fasano’s third-set tiebreaker win sends Cats home victorious By PETER WARREN

daily senior staffer @thepeterwarren

Daily file photo by David Lee

Northwestern’s four-game swing through the Great Plains and Midwest ended Wednesday in dramatic fashion against conference foe Purdue. Behind a comeback from freshman Antonioni Fasano and three other singles victories, the Wildcats (8-11, 3-2 Big Ten) ended their road trip on a high note as they defeated the Boilermakers (8-12, 0-5) 4-3 in West Lafayette, Indiana. “To come back in the way that we did and win it in a third set tiebreaker, with freshman Antonioni pulling that out to win two tiebreakers in the second and third set, was big time for us,” interim coach Chris Klingemann said. “We are all pretty pumped right now.” In the No. 4 singles matchup, Fasano started slow and lost the first set 6-3 to Purdue’s Javier Rodriguez. He followed that up with a clutch 7-6 victory in the second set, winning the tiebreaker 7-4. When the third set started, all other singles games had finished, meaning that both competitors knew their game would decide the winner. Fasano and Rodriguez again went to a tiebreaker, which Fasano again won 7-4. Fasano cited changing his style of play as a reason for coming out with the victory. “Managing to start to come in a little

bit more, try to play more aggressive, come to the net,” Fasano said. “I think that was a key.” Purdue started the contest off on the right foot by winning the doubles point. The Boilermakers’ No. 2 doubles side of Maksymilian Raupuk and Dominik Sochurek defeated the duo of freshman Nick Brookes and junior Jason Seidman 7-6 (7-2), while Purdue’s No. 3 doubles team of Renan Hanayama and Gergely Madarasz defeated sophomore Chris Ephron and Fasano 6-2. In the No. 1 doubles matchup, sophomore Dominik Starý and junior Ben Vandixhorn defeated Athell Bennett and Mateo Julio 6-4. “Going forward we really have to work on doubles,” Starý said. “In these type of matches, we are in a position to win the doubles point, but we always somehow manage to lose (it).” The first singles match to finish was at No. 2, where Brookes picked up a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Raupuk. Ephron followed up Brookes’ victory with an easy 6-3, 6-1 triumph over Hanayama. In the only matchup featuring a ranked

competitor, Starý defeated 92nd-ranked Madarasz with a 7-5, 6-3 victory at No. 1 singles, which put NU up 3-1. At No. 5 singles, Seidman and Bennett went back-and-forth. Seidman slumped in the first set 1-6 before returning the favor in the second, picking up a 6-1 victory. But Bennett pulled away in the third set, winning the matchup. The matchup between Vandixhorn and Julio also went three sets, with Julio winning 6-4, 1-6, 6-2. The match was held indoors at the Basham Courts in the Schwartz Tennis Center. Klingemann said every Big Ten away match is a challenge because of uncertainty about where the team will play. “In the Big Ten, any time you are on the road, you never know if you are indoors or outdoors,” Klingemann said. “Conditions are always different. Indoors is always tough to get used to with different indoor facilities, different lighting, different court speeds from you are used to.” Klingemann cited the team’s fight and grit as strengths during the past few weeks, and that strength was once again on display in Indiana. “These guys just fought the whole way through,” Klingemann said. “We have been doing that lately. Some of the matches we have been on top, some haven’t gone our way, but these guys have really shown a lot of heart as of late.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

Cats ready for 2 games in 3 days NU looks to stay hot By ELLA BROCKWAY

daily senior staffer @ellabrockway

Sheila Nesselbush sensed something needed to change. Northwestern, then ranked ninth in the country, was fresh off an 18-13 loss to then-No. 4 North Carolina on March 17. It was their second loss in three games, and the Wildcats were heading into a Spring Break stretch that included two road trips and three games against ranked opponents. The senior attacker knew it was time to lock in. “After UNC, we realized we did it to ourselves a little bit,” Nesselbush said. “We had some moments where we had some mental errors, and so we just focused on eliminating those, making sure (in) each moment, we each do our part.”

Ohio State vs. No. 9 Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 3 p.m. Friday

No. 20 Notre Dame vs. No. 9 Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 12 p.m. Sunday

NU (9-3, 2-0 Big Ten) went on to sweep the Spring Break schedule, collecting four straight wins and moving back into the Top 10 for the first time since the loss to the Tar Heels. The hot streak hits as the Cats head into their final five games of the regular season. NU will look to boost its resume even more this week, facing Ohio State (5-6, 1-2) on Friday and No. 20 Notre Dame (7-6) on Sunday.

Julie Krupnick looks to pass the ball. The redshirt freshman was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after she collected 45 saves in four games.

The Cats will need more big performances on both ends of the ball after excelling during the Spring Break stretch. NU averages 13.9 goals per game, an improvement after averaging 10.7 in 2017, and has the best scoring defense in the Big Ten, allowing just 9.3 goals per game. Nesselbush was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for her play during the stretch. The senior scored a career-high five goals for the Cats in a 14-10 win over Syracuse on March 26 and tallied 16 points over the course of four games, becoming the 20th NU player since 2002 to reach 100 career points. On the defensive end, redshirt freshman goalkeeper Julie Krupnick was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week after collecting 45 saves in the four wins. Krupnick’s 14 saves against Johns Hopkins were the most for a Cats goalkeeper since 2007 and tied for the second-most in a single game in program history. “Our defense has definitely started to lock in and click,” Krupnick said. “We’re able to make stops and we’re really good in transition with the ball. The defense is doing really well.” The Buckeyes enter Friday’s game coming off an 18-10 loss to Penn State, which is unranked in the national poll but is ranked first in the Big Ten standings. The Fighting Irish took a 14-8 win against Michigan on Tuesday, days after they took No. 5 North Carolina to the wire but fell in a 13-12 loss. After this weekend’s home stretch, NU will go on the road to face the Nittany Lions and then play Rutgers at home before traveling to No. 3 Maryland to close the regular season. For now, the next two games are the priority. “We talked a lot about energy (after North Carolina) and what’s going to carry us over the edge against a top team,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. “Things are going to happen, mistakes are going to happen, but as long as we have each other’s back, we’re going to have the best chance to be successful and the team’s really bought into that.” ellabrockway2021@u.northwestern.edu

against Boilermakers By BENJAMIN ROSENBERG

daily senior staffer @bxrosenberg

Coming off a pair of comeback wins in a series victory against Nebraska, Northwestern will travel to West Lafayette, Indiana, this weekend looking to stay hot in a three-game series at Purdue. The Wildcats (22-11, 5-3 Big Ten) are led by a balanced offense that ranks third in the Big Ten with a .288 batting average and leads the conference in stolen bases. NU has been showing more power this season as well. After hitting just 14 home runs all of last year, the Cats have already hit 23 this season. The top of the lineup has been driving NU’s offensive production. Senior center fielder Sabrina Rabin is hitting .517 in conference play and senior shortstop Marissa Panko is hitting .321. Freshman second baseman Rachel Lewis is hitting .308 with five home runs and 12 RBIs in eight conference games. Junior left fielder Morgan Nelson, the team’s cleanup hitter, has frequently been the beneficiary of her teammates’ work. Nelson is second on the team behind Lewis with 21 RBIs and six home runs this season after hitting just two homers all of last year. “Sabrina, Panko and then Rachel, they’re always getting on base and that just makes it easier,” Nelson said. “Especially with Rachel in front of me, I think that’s motivating me too because this freshman has all this power, and I’m so happy for her and I want to join in.” The Cats have relied largely on two pitchers, freshman Kenna Wilkey and sophomore Morgan Newport, in recent weeks, but senior Nicole Bond has turned in some quality work as

well. She threw a complete game last Saturday against Nebraska, allowing just four hits in NU’s victory. Bond got the start again on Sunday but struggled, allowing four earned runs in 1.2 innings. Wilkey came on in the second and gave up just one run the rest of the way, giving the Cats’ offense time to orchestrate another comeback win. Bond credits the cohesiveness of the pitching staff for helping her prepare to face a certain lineup. “It’s really hard for a team to hit three pitchers, especially when we’re all working off of each other,” she said. “One of us is going to be hot one day, one of us is going to be cold, and there’s going to be times where they’re going to pick me up and I’m going to have to pick them up.” The Boilermakers (8-27, 1-5) have struggled this season, and the Cats have swept them each of the past three years. They are hitting just .234 as a team and rank next to last in the Big Ten with a 4.94 team ERA. That does not mean NU is taking Purdue lightly, however. Coach Kate Drohan said the Cats need to put pressure offensively on the Boilermakers’ defense and their pitchers need to control the game. “Purdue is a well-coached team; they have improved a ton since the beginning of the season,” Drohan said. “We’ve got seven seniors who are doing a heck of a job leading this group, and their experience and their poise have really carried us, especially the start of this Big Ten season.” benjaminrosenberg2021@u.northwestern.edu
