hosting parties and providing alcohol to minors,” he added. The suspension runs until September 2018, Rowley said. Pending a possible appeal, SAE members living in the fraternity house are required to move out by May 6, Rowley said. NU will work with SAE

However, the 44th president will abstain from critiquing his successor or offering up an opinion on his new policies, according to The New York Times. Northwestern had received a “limited” number of tickets for the event, University spokesman Bob Rowley told The Daily in an email. He added that those

tickets would go to students who have an “interest in civic engagement,” but did not elaborate on a method of distribution. After spending weeks in French Polynesia, Monday’s event will be a homecoming of sorts for the former Illinois state senator — who once represented the neighborhood in which UChicago is located. Obama also taught as a law professor at the university. Tickets were divvied up between local universities and

organizations, a spokesman for Obama told the Chicago Tribune. Others were distributed to Harold Washington College, Malcolm X College, Kennedy King College, Columbia College, Chicago State University, University of Illinois, Roosevelt University, Kenwood Academy High School, DePaul University and Loyola University. Local organizations that work with minority residents were also given tickets. — David Fishman

Fall, winter see dip in gun violence By BILLY KOBIN

daily senior staffer @billy_kobin

Although gun violence in Evanston dipped slightly this past fall and winter compared to the same time period stretching from 2015 into 2016, local leaders say there is still plenty of work to be done to prevent further shootings. “We don’t have any magic bullet for how we stop it now,” said Nina Kavin, co-founder of “Dear Evanston,” a social media campaign that seeks to raise awareness of local youth violence. “But I do think there are long-term solutions.” Evanston saw no homicides resulting from gun violence from

September 2016 to February 2017, a drop from two fatal shootings in the same period from 2015 to 2016, according to Evanston Police Department statistics. Two people were injured from shootings from September 2016 to February 2017, while five people were shot and injured during that period in 2015 and 2016, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. Additionally, EPD saw a reduction in shots fired reports. The department received 89 reports of shots fired from September 2015 to February 2016, and only 60 reports from the same period in 2016 and 2017, Dugan said. » See VIOLENCE, page 8

Thousands defend science at march Roughly 50,000 attend Chicago’s March for Science

By ALLIE GOULDING

the daily northwestern @alliejennaaa

CHICAGO — Thousands of students, educators and scientists gathered in downtown Chicago on Saturday to participate in the March for Science, one of hundreds of such marches held worldwide on Earth Day. The march was a response to President Donald Trump’s election and, more recently, an executive order that threatened to remove existing legislation that combats climate change. March director Kristian Aloma (Communication ’02) told The Daily roughly 50,000 people showed up on Saturday, 10,000 more than organizers expected. He said he hoped the organization behind the March for Science in Chicago would continue to operate after the protest. Before marching, protesters assembled along Columbus Drive to hear five speakers

— including Emily Graslie, chief curiosity correspondent at the Field Museum — discuss the importance of society’s role in science. “Help elevate the voice of scientists; speak up for science,” Graslie told the crowd. “We’re educators, artists, communicators and writers, and passionate lifelong learners who have an obligation and mission to help others understand and empathize with our beautiful, fragile world.” On the March for Science Facebook page, organizers described the march as “nonpartisan” and standing for “evidence-based policies that are built on an ethical approach to science.” However, marchers carried signs that referenced Trump’s policies and executive orders with phrases like “Protect Bees, Not Borders.” Other signs played off Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign slogan, saying “I’m with her” pointing to a picture of the Earth. Demonstrators said they came to the march for a variety of reasons, including protesting » See MARCH, page 8

AROUND TOWN Evanston activist seeks to improve local politics By AMELIA LANGAS

the daily northwestern @amelialangas

When he moved to Evanston’s 3rd Ward after teaching kindergarten in Milwaukee, Alex Morgan said he found it difficult to reach his alderman outside of the annual town hall meeting. Morgan said this “void” in accessibility inspired him to launch his campaign for 3rd Ward alderman, which focused on accessible, equitable and transparent government. Morgan ended up losing to incumbent Ald. Melissa Wynne (3rd), who denied the claims made by Morgan and said she regularly meets with residents. “When it came around the time to decide who was going to run for the municipal elections, I have in the past encouraged a lot of my friends to throw their hat into the ring when they see a void in public office … and so that’s why I decided to run,” Morgan said. Morgan’s passion for advocacy and community involvement in government did not begin or end with the April 4 aldermanic election. Apart from his involvement in the Democratic Party of Evanston and the Organization for Positive Action and Leadership, Morgan in 2015 cofounded Progressive Turnout Project, a national organization that focuses on directly connecting with voters to increase turnout at the polls.

POLICE BLOTTER Tennessee man transported back to Evanston, charged with aggravated use of weapon

On Tuesday, a 21-year-old man from Nashville, Tennessee was transported back to Evanston by police after the Nashville Police Department arrested him based on an active warrant, according to a news release. The warrant was issued last year on March 11

Morgan said as a volunteer for OPAL — whose mission is to build a more equitable Evanston — he represents the organization at school board and City Council meetings and generally “plug(s) in wherever needed.” “(OPAL) is an African-American led organization … and I think that’s really important because the folks who are impacted by the disparities in our community should be the ones telling us what needs to be addressed,” Morgan said. In addition to volunteering for OPAL, Morgan also holds a leadership position in DPOE as director of communications. Janira Clark, DPOE’s deputy committeeman, said Morgan has made communications for the organization clearer and more consistent by sending out monthly newsletters, updating the group’s online content and organizing its Facebook platform. Clark said she met Morgan roughly two years ago at a DPOE event after he moved to Evanston. She added that she immediately realized he was the kind of person DPOE would want to have on its board. “Right away, you can see that he was a very passionate guy, he was a very knowledgeable person, he really had that desire to be able to work towards the benefit of his community,” Clark said. » See MORGAN, page 7

after the then-20-year-old man fled a traffic stop that had occurred the month before, according to the release. The vehicle was stopped at Howard Street and Damen Avenue after police saw it turn without using a signal. During the stop, officers witnessed the man take something from under his seat cushion, the release said. The officers discovered that it was a handgun, and, upon its recovery, the man fled on foot. Police were then unable to locate him for months.

After being transported back to Evanston, the man was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated use of a weapon — a felony — and one count of possession of a firearm without proper identification, which is a misdemeanor, according to the release.

Teenagers arrested after robbing Subway

At around noon on Sunday, a worker at the Subway in the 1500 block of Sherman Avenue

reported that a 15-year-old male and a 13-yearold female stole the tip jar and fled north on foot. Officers observed the two juveniles, both from Chicago, at the Davis Chicago Transit Authority station later in the day, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. When the juveniles saw the officers approaching, they hid under the platform. Power to the train was shut off, and officers took the two into custody, Dugan said. — Sophie Mann

ON CAMPUS Jeremih, Aminé light up A&O Ball By ALAN PEREZ

the daily northwestern @_perezalan_

Hip-hop artist Jeremih and rapper Aminé paid homage to Chicago rappers and their music during A&O Ball on Friday. More than a thousand students gathered at the Riviera Theatre and crowded the dance floor for the evening’s performances, which featured an array of collaborations with local artists and remixes of their music. At one point during his opening set, Aminé brought Chicago rapper Joey Purp to the stage for a performance of Purp’s song “Girls @.” Jeremih, who is from Chicago, paid tribute to some of his favorite local musicians, including Chance the Rapper, Kanye West and R. Kelly. “Shoutout to everyone in the city,” Jeremih said to the crowd. “I’m just proud to be among them.” The concert was co-hosted by A&O Productions and For Members Only. Communication junior Justine Yücesan, A&O’s marketing and media co-chair, said she wanted students to have the opportunity to attend a concert in Chicago, which isn’t always available to them. Part of the reason Aminé and Jeremih were selected to perform was because they fulfilled the mission A&O and FMO envisioned, Yücesan said. The two groups want to make entertainment more inclusive for students of all races, she said. “We definitely thought bringing Jeremih and Aminé — an old, tried and true voice of music and someone really new — fit the mission of both of our groups,” Yücesan said. Aminé, the concert’s opener, took the stage at around 8 p.m. as students were still arriving to the venue. He later revealed a purple Northwestern basketball jersey under his sweatshirt. The jersey featured the number 18 and Aminé’s name on the back. He performed all of his singles, as well as music from other artists’ songs he was featured on. For Aminé’s last song, students sang along to his hit single “Caroline,” which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. Aminé ended

the song pointing his microphone to the audience, allowing students to sing the final lyrics. Following the concert, many students were upset about a video showing a majority non-black audience singing the N-word along with the lyrics to “Caroline” during Aminé’s set. Weinberg senior Cheron Mims, FMO coordinator, said this made the environment uncomfortable for some students. “I know that’s the reason why some black students don’t go to Ball,” she said. “When people use the N-word, it kinda just changes the mood, and it changes the solidarity that the community has.” A&O co-chair Will Corvin, a Weinberg senior, said the group “can’t really control the actions” of audience members. “We don’t necessarily condone those actions,” Corvin said. Before Jeremih took the stage, his DJ teased the crowd with samples of his hit song “Down on Me.” Flashing purple lights followed, and students cheered as Jeremih appeared on stage for his set. A live drummer, keyboardist and two dancers joined him for the performance. Although Jeremih’s set included some of his new songs, he made sure to perform his older hits. Before his performance of “Birthday Sex,” Jeremih asked the audience if it was anyone’s birthday. Medill freshman Talley Morton said her friends thought it would be funny if she was chosen to go on stage. After friends cleared a pathway for her, security guards lifted Morton onto the stage where Jeremih handed her a rose and serenaded her. On stage, Jeremih asked for Morton’s name, wished her a happy birthday and later kissed her. Jeremih tried to grind on her, but Morton said she “was really not about that.” Morton said she was aware of the age difference between her and Jeremih, but was still shocked to hear some people imply sexual assault had occurred. Morton said she didn’t feel like she was sexually assaulted, though she did understand the implications of what happened. “I didn’t feel uncomfortable,” Morton said. Morton said there were other, more important things that should have been discussed more, such

as concert attendees’ use of the N-word. A&O representatives were very responsive to the situation, Morton said. After the song, Morton and Jeremih went backstage to two separate areas, Morton said. Corvin said an A&O member escorted Morton off the stage and made sure “to check how she was doing and that she knew she could contact us.” “We can’t necessarily predict the actions of artists, and we don’t condone their actions either,” Corvin said. To close the set, Jeremih invited more female students to the stage and offered them roses.The concert ended with an explosion of confetti over the audience. Mims said she was glad to see many students enjoy themselves. FMO’s goal was for concert attendees to have a great time and take a break from thinking about midterms, she said. “I’m really glad people came out and had a great time,” Mims said. “And hopefully next year they keep the trend going.” alanperez2020@u.northwestern.edu

Illinois Tool Works to sponsor CPS scholarship By ANNA LAFFREY

the daily northwestern @annalaffrey

Illinois Tool Works has created a partnership with Northwestern to provide a full ride scholarship to a Chicago Public Schools student pursuing a degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. The scholarship is funded by a $1.5 million endowment created by ITW, and will be awarded to a high school graduate who is admitted to NU each year, starting with the graduating class of 2018, said Rosemary Matzl, ITW’s vice president of community affairs. Even though any admitted CPS student will qualify for the scholarship, Matzl said ITW will give preference to students graduating from ITW David Speer Academy, a charter school funded by ITW in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood. The school serves a mostly low-income student body and prepares students to graduate college with degrees in STEM. Matzl said ITW wants to support the students at Speer, but it also don’t want to restrict the scholarship opportunity to students from just one school. “If a Speer student qualifies, they would be given preference for the scholarship money,” she said. “But, if there isn’t a student that meets the scholarship standards, the money would be given to a (different) CPS student.” Speer earned the highest CPS rating, Level +1, during the 2015-16 school year, based on the CPS School Quality Rating Policy. Jordan Kruger, Speer’s assistant principal, said students have access to Advanced Placement math and science classes, as well as engineering electives throughout all four years. Kruger said the STEM focus is inspired by the high demand for employees with STEM degrees from companies like ITW. Speer aims for 50 percent

Northwestern student, alumna receive Carnegie junior fellowships

The Northwestern Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 1801 Hinman Ave. Illinois Tool Works partnered with the University to provide a full scholarship for an admitted Chicago Public Schools student each year.

of graduated students to pursue STEM degrees and careers, he said. The “hardworking culture” of the school drives students to be competitive despite financial burden, Kruger said. According to a 2016 CPS School Progress report, nearly 90 percent of the school’s students are economically disadvantaged. “We have a lot of highly motivated students and want all of our students to focus on work in STEM fields,” he said. “We need all the scholarships we can get.” The family of late James Russell, an ITW executive, donated $17 million to the Kellogg School of Management in 2013. Matzl said ITW decided to

extend its partnership with the University by focusing specifically on access to education. She said offering additional funding to the Chicago and NU communities would expand its philanthropic reach. Matzl said this funding will extend opportunities for Chicago students who may not be able to attend the University otherwise. Steffany Bahamon, president of NU Quest Scholars Network, said she attends NU on a similar full ride scholarship offered through the QuestBridge program. The McCormick senior said increased scholarship opportunities will both empower Chicago-area students and foster inclusivity on campus. “From my experience, McCormick seems

generally high-income with few first-generation students,” Bahamon said. “Even for low-income students not benefitting from the scholarship, people from all backgrounds will feel more welcome knowing that economic resources are being provided.” Bahamon said this scholarship also has the potential to strengthen ties between the University and CPS. “We call ourselves Chicago’s Big Ten Team, so it’s great that we can put our money where our mouth is and connect ourselves to the Chicago community on a new level,” Bahamon said.

Weinberg senior Gustavo Berrizbeitia and Alli Divine (Weinberg ’16) were selected to work as research assistants to senior associates at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C. as James C. Gaither junior fellows. They were selected from a pool of nominees representing almost 400 colleges, according to a news release. The one-year fellowship is awarded to about 15 students. NU alumna Elena Barham (Weinberg ’16) is in the current class of fellows, the release said.

Additionally, Communication Prof. Thomas Bradshaw earned a literary award, according to the news release. Bradshaw was named the 2017 Emerging American Playwright by the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater Award. The award comes with a $2,500 cash prize. “For more than 90 years, PEN America has been working with the international PEN community to ensure people everywhere have the freedom to create literature, convey information and ideas, express

their views and to make it possible for everyone to access the views, ideas and literatures of others,” the release said. John Hudson, director of the geography program at NU, won the Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Rural and Agricultural Geography presented by the Rural Geography Specialty Group, according to the release.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Kipnis book is unfair to grad student, employs irresponsible research Several people, including a graduate student in the department of philosophy at Northwestern University, were recently targeted in a book by Radio, Television and Film faculty member Laura Kipnis. In “Unwanted Advances: Sexual Paranoia Comes to Campus,” Kipnis constructs a narrative around a series of events — which have been largely centered within our own department — to support her claim that Title IX fosters a sense of sexual paranoia and creates an environment hostile to academic freedom. In doing so, Kipnis dedicates a chapter of her book to questioning a sexual assault allegation our fellow graduate student brought against a faculty member. Kipnis questions this allegation on the basis of a limited set of evidence, without consulting with our colleague or those close to her to check a number of important details in the case. Moreover, Kipnis reinforces her claims with

unsubstantiated speculations. Her construction of the narrative is, as a result, irresponsible. We feel compelled to express how dissonant Kipnis’ retelling of these events is with our first-hand experiences of them and with the people involved in them, and to express our concern for Kipnis’ conduct, both as an author and as a faculty member at NU. The claims Kipnis makes about our colleague compose an image of her that is often unrecognizable to us. For instance, the conjecture that our colleague’s Title IX filing against a faculty member in our department was motivated by a desire for revenge is implausible to all of us who have gotten to know this compassionate, conscientious and diligent student. Those of us who are close to her know that it was only after much hesitation and deliberation that she gave a confidential statement to the Title IX office, and that she did so because she thought it was her moral obligation in light of an ongoing lawsuit. Moreover, Kipnis’ failure to consult those in a position to give a well-informed report of our colleague’s history and the situation in which she found herself, or to check basic facts about the case, instantiates the very phenomenon

Kipnis takes herself to be railing against: onesided and irresponsible investigations into sexual assault. We take this to be a reckless approach to publicizing material that purports to recount facts of so sensitive a nature. Kipnis, of course, is interested in the boundaries between freedom of speech and the constraints incurred under Title IX. But one need not be a defender of Title IX in order to be concerned that Kipnis’ public exploration of private information regarding our colleague, not previously part of any public record, may be a violation of our colleague’s privacy. Students have rights not only under Title IX but also under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and some of the material Kipnis discusses appears to be part of our colleague’s educational record. But regardless of whether this amounts to any formal violation of her privacy rights, there are clear reasons to be concerned about broadcasting very private details about an individual’s life without having or seeking her authorization to use that information, or offering the opportunity to comment. We support free speech and recognize the need for intellectual discourse about difficult

and potentially offensive topics. As such, we do not hold that it is never appropriate to divulge personal information about others. However, we believe that there is a way to exercise academic freedom while still offering necessary protections to members of our community. This involves valuing not just academic freedom, but also privacy rights, intellectual integrity and professional standards. Kipnis has demonstrated a willingness to engage in questionable research methods, the unauthorized exposure of private information and reckless, unfounded speculation about a junior member of the academy. We condemn these practices. It is respectable to critique a system that you think is broken or a cultural attitude you think is harmful, but it is not respectable to do so by mischaracterizing events and individuals to the public without gathering your evidence in a responsible manner. We feel that Kipnis has unfairly portrayed our colleague, as well as a number of other people in her book. We stand by our colleague and we offer her our full support. — The Northwestern Philosophy Graduate Student Association

March for Science is why people don’t trust science JOSE TREJOS

DAILY COLUMNIST

Tragically, our government generally seems to be apathetic to science when making policy. Despite experts’ universal support of, and extensive research on, topics like evolution, climate change and the benefits of free trade, they remain deeply controversial, and the policies resulting from this disregard for science have consequences as grave as impoverishing millions and threatening the continued existence of our species. Earlier this week, people throughout the country participated in the March for Science, which nominally drew attention to this crucial issue in our politics. In reality, it merely continued a concerning progressive trend of degrading and often misrepresenting science as a petty partisan tool, and will likely serve only to further spread skepticism of science. There exists a general notion in modern leftist politics that science exists on the side of liberals’ supposedly fact-based policies, a generally convenient narrative that allows them to dismiss

disagreement as ignorant by default. Admittedly, there are easily a few issues in which the Republican Party easily merits this charge, the most notorious of which is its general denial of the existence of climate change against the overwhelming scientific consensus. The issue with the view that the GOP represents an anti-scientific force isn’t that Republicans don’t go against science when it’s inconvenient, but rather that liberals do so even more egregiously than Republicans. The same people that levelled righteous indignation at President Donald Trump denying climate change to appeal to coal miners stood silent as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton attacked free trade to win over industrial workers, even though free trade is supported by a similarly absolute consensus among experts. Environmentalists regularly fight the likes of genetically modified organisms, which experts have declared to be safe for human consumption, and faced no criticism even as their opposition is arguably responsible for the starvation and disability of millions among the global poor. While liberals are happy to champion science with outrage against Republicans, they are just as happy to claim the science is not settled when it’s their activists and voters that stand against it.

The March for Science was founded on a simple idea: Use the word “science” to attack Trump. The plurality of the signs in these parades seemed to completely abandon the science theme to attack Trump generically, and the formal statement on the march’s website cites Trump policies, such as the travel ban, among its key issues. There’s nothing inherently wrong at all with a rally that protests a president’s unpopular policies, especially policies as poorly thought out as the travel ban. However, holding an anti-Trump march in the name of science teaches those watching that science is a fundamentally political pursuit that should be taken with the same degree of skepticism we assign to politicians of the opposite party. I wish we lived in a world where saying that climate scientists more or less universally believe in climate change and economists believe in free trade would immediately settle those debates. The reason they do not is in part because the likes of the March for Science squander respect for real science for the sake of making cheap political points. Oftentimes, listening to science forces people to compromise their general ideologies. One of the reasons so many conservatives deny climate change is that the policies it necessitates are ideologically uncomfortable. It is hard for me to advocate

Bienen dual degree overworks students NATHAN GOLDRICH

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Each year, students from all around the world apply to Northwestern’s unique five-year dual degree program, which enables students in the Bienen School of Music to simultaneously obtain another degree from the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, the McCormick School of Engineering, the School of Communication, the School of Education and Social Policy or the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications. Students in the program are granted the same privileges and opportunities as those who exclusively pursue music and therefore, with a few exceptions, must adhere to the same distribution requirements as students in the other schools. Consequently, they may often find themselves taking anywhere from six to eight classes each quarter to satisfy their credit requirements, when taking into account the other two to three academic classes outside of Bienen. These requirements include, but are not limited to, music theory, aural skills, ensemble and keyboard skills. Many of these function as sequences, requiring students to take a certain number of consecutive classes, such as the music theory sequence, which comprises six consecutive courses. Considering the average NU student takes three to five credits per quarter, there’s no questioning the program’s intensity. While some students flourish under the dual degree program’s extensive rigor, many find it to be detrimental to their college experiences and drop out. For instance, I spoke with my friend Hugo

Belisario, an NU freshman who has played violin and viola for almost 11 years and has received numerous honors for his playing throughout high school. Looking to take his passion for music to the next level, he was accepted to NU as a dual degree student for viola performance and economics. Yet, after a whole quarter of experiencing the full force of dual degree expectations, he said he realized continuing would be unsustainable. As someone who wanted to get involved with Greek life, club baseball and still have time to relax, work out and socialize, it became clear to him that staying in the program would greatly limit his college experience. Half a quarter later, he dropped out of Bienen. Although no two students are alike, Belisario’s mindset toward achieving a balanced college experience is applicable to a vast number of students both within and outside the dual degree program. From what I’ve observed, dual degree students’ success is often determined by their willingness to accept both the massive time commitments the program demands and the limitations it places on non-academic aspects of college life. Furthermore, because of the strong emphasis on core classes such as music theory and aural skills, dual degree students seem to lack the power and flexibility to tailor their education to their unique, yet valuable perspectives of music. While this system works for students who exclusively study music performance — since they are primarily focused on learning about music in an academic sense — dual degree students don’t seem to have the same freedom. It is as if Bienen’s efforts to diversify music education for dual degree students have ironically served to undermine the students’ musical growth. Indeed, many students find the dual degree program to be inspiring and enjoyable, and I do not suggest making any major

changes to its style or execution. Rather, the best course of action to encourage and personalize one’s education in music performance would be to create two new majors: solo performance and group performance. There would be various benefits in establishing separate majors. Since the majors would be specialized by performance type, distribution requirements would be specific to each student’s passion. A student choosing to major in solo performance, for example, would be exempt from taking orchestra, a course that would otherwise be time-consuming and impractical. Additionally, introducing the two new majors — which would require fewer, but more specialized, distribution requirements — would allow for greater flexibility in time and scheduling, granting students more freedom in meeting their individual needs. Finally, it is important to recognize that music performance majors are not music theory majors and therefore should not be treated as such. While it is useful to promote an understanding of the theoretical and historical aspects of a given repertoire, it is by no means necessary to bombard students with mandatory classes concerning just music theory and aural skills. Bienen is home to some of the most dedicated and accomplished young musicians in the world, and it’s truly a shame to see such talent go to waste just because some aspects of the curriculum are forced down their throats.

solutions such as a targeted tax and increased regulations when it comes to carbon emissions, when I would argue passionately against these approaches in almost any other context. However, acknowledging science means accepting that sometimes ideologies will not work perfectly with the real world. Just as conservatives need to learn to accept realities like climate change, liberals need to start moving toward ideas like school choice and free trade and abandoning ideas such as a $15 minimum wage and free college, in line with expert opinion on these issues. I don’t think a single person involved in politics, myself included, can realistically always side with the facts at the cost of setting aside their ideology. But so long as that is the fundamental reality of our country’s politics, we should at least refrain from using science as a meaningless buzzword. Maybe that way, the American people will be willing to agree on some basic facts. Jose Trejos is a Weinberg sophomore. He can be contacted at josetrejos2019@u.northwestern.edu.

SAE

From page 1 president, could not immediately be reached for comment. As of early Friday evening, SAE national spokesman Brandon Weghorst said he did not have any new information about the Northwestern chapter. The suspension comes after another, separate investigation into the fraternity earlier this year. In February, the University announced in an email alert to students that the Sexual Harassment Prevention Office had received an anonymous report that four female students had been possibly given a date rape drug at the SAE house on Jan. 21. The report said two of the students believed they were sexually assaulted. The fraternity’s national organization issued a “cease-and-desist order” to Northwestern’s chapter later in February. Weghorst said earlier this month that the national organization was investigating the Northwestern chapter. In late March, vice president for student affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin announced that no disciplinary action would be taken against the chapter, and that the University had concluded its review of the reports. In the email to students, Telles-Irvin said the University had

MORGAN From page 2

She has since worked with Morgan on a variety of different projects for DPOE, and said Morgan is dependable, committed and understands that great ideas require work to become reality. Morgan is also the executive director of Progressive Turnout Project. “What I love most about the work is it really connects to the organizing work I’ve done whether it’s as a teacher … or as a volunteer,” Morgan said. Staffers for PTP go door-to-door in districts asking citizens about their past voting experiences, the issues they care about and why those issues are important to them, Morgan said. When election time comes around, PTP reminds those it talked to about the conversations and encourages them to vote, he said. Barbara Cornew, who worked with Morgan on U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider’s (D-Lincolnshire) 2014 reelection campaign, said Morgan worked

begun a separate investigation into NU’s SAE chapter for potential violations of the Student Code of Conduct, which were revealed during the Title IX investigation. Rowley said the conduct investigation into SAE and the decision to suspend the chapter from campus were unrelated to the allegations of druggings and sexual assault reported earlier this year.

Morgan understands people, government and organization, traits that help him bring people into the political process, Cornew said. Morgan said he plans to continue his work with PTP, DPOE and OPAL, and that he wants to encourage more citizens to “throw their hat in the ring” and run for local offices. Morgan also said he would provide advice to anyone who is interested in campaigning.

VIOLENCE From page 1

Dugan said EPD implemented a two-part violence reduction strategy in 2015 that continues to work toward addressing gun violence in the city. The first part of that strategy involves detectives going into neighborhoods, recovering firearms and identifying other risk factors, Dugan said. The second part of the strategy features community outreach and officers speaking with residents, Dugan said. “They go door-to-door, to places of worship, parks and community meetings and talk to residents on an informal basis,” he said. “People feel more free to talk and share what’s going on in the community, what problems they are having, who is involved.” EPD officers have also continued other outreach programs, Dugan said, pointing to the Officer and Gentlemen Academy — an initiative that began last month in which EPD officers mentor male students who are black and attend Nichols Middle School. Dugan added that these programs can help address issues of violence among local youth. Another ongoing outreach program is Project

MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2017 Bridge, a collaboration between EPD and the James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy. The program, which started last month, includes EPD officers meeting with teenagers in the city to discuss issues and build trust, said Patrick Keenan-Devlin, executive director of the Moran Center. Keenan-Devlin said the Moran Center provides legal and social support to low-income youth and their families in Evanston by helping them find support in school. “We believe success in school stems violence,” Keenan-Devlin said. Dugan also pointed to the city’s gun buyback program as an effective method to remove guns from the street. In the past, Dugan said residents could only turn in guns a few times each year, but now residents can call EPD at any time and have an officer collect their unwanted firearms in exchange for a $100 voucher. During the past few years, Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl said she joined Kevin Brown — the city’s youth and young adult program manager — and his team on numerous weekend nights to talk with young men on the streets about their needs. “Everyone has told me jobs are the biggest issue,”

Tisdahl said. She pointed to the Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program as an example of a city program that works to prevent violence. Tisdahl said the program grew from offering just 167 jobs when she first took office in 2009 to more than 800 jobs today. “Kids (with jobs) are much less likely to be caught up in the criminal justice system,” Tisdahl said. Nevertheless, Kavin said the city must do more to address factors that lead to gun violence. Kavin said “Dear Evanston” brings together different local voices to discuss issues that contribute to gun violence, such as racism, achievement gaps in schools and discrimination. She said she thinks there are long-term solutions to the issue of gun violence that the city is committed to working toward. “Some within our community suffer from ongoing trauma, little access to mental health care, poverty, a lack of education, little or no meaningful employment and a sense of hopelessness,” Kavin said. “So the city needs to address these issues, working together with the many nonprofit organizations that do this work every day.” Emeric Mazibuko, street outreach case manager at Youth & Opportunity United, said he works with

Evanston youth who often have been impacted by gun violence. Mazibuko said the Evanston community needs to rethink how it discusses gun violence — especially when it involves youth. He added that gun violence affects both survivors and their families and friends, who often face emotional and psychological trauma long after the initial incidents. Mazibuko said after the death of Dajae Coleman — a 14-year-old freshman at Evanston Township High School who was shot and killed in 2012 — various community meetings were held to discuss gun violence and possible solutions. However, when numerous other young men were shot and killed in Evanston in the years that followed, some residents dismissed those victims as “gangaffiliated,” Mazibuko said. Casually discrediting some deaths because they are due to gang violence is problematic, he said. “The way that we talk about gun violence makes it OK for some people to go to sleep at night because it creates a separation … that those kids got what was coming to them,” Mazibuko said. williamkobin2018@u.northwestern.edu

Trump’s administration has proposed cutting the EPA’s budget by 31 percent, which would eliminate a quarter of its 15,000 jobs. “At a time when so many things in my life were unsure or unstable … science was that one constant that I could always rely on,” Carter said. “The march is amazing.

NU’s Shameful Holocaust Stain Though it is fashionable to protest ills far removed from campus life, there is one in your midst that lingers with little fanfare. His name is Engineering Professor Arthur Butz. He is best known not for anything from the world of engineering, but rather from the world of hate and deceit. In short, Professor Butz(head) is a “Holocaust denier.” I repeat, a learned professor in your midst is a “Holocaust denier.” In 1976 he penned a book titled “The Hoax of the Twentieth Century” denying the Holocaust took place. Denying 6 million Jewish girls, men, grandmothers, babies, uncles, neighbors, women, fathers, friends, sisters, colleagues, cousins, lovers, boys, mothers and aunts — 6 million human beings — were murdered. For perspective, consider this: if you read each victim’s name — taking just two seconds per name — it would take you 139 days to complete the task. Start today and you will not finish until you return for classes in the fall. But that is only if you never stop to eat, drink or sleep, much like the conditions the victims endured. In 2006, former President Henry Bienen issued a statement condemning Butz and said “Butz's opinions are his own and in no way represent the views of the University.”

Hiding behind tenure policies and “the right to free speech” is equal parts cowardly and dumb. To remind: the First Amendment prevents the government from limiting your speech; it does not prevent a private university from firing a professor. To put things in perspective, what would be the reaction on campus if a group of "antebellum revisionists" claimed African-Americans were never slaves? That blacks were never sold, lynched, beaten, raped and bartered? And suppose these "scholars" claimed the whole idea of a black slave trade was simply a hoax devised by blacks to garner sympathy. How would we respond? I would like to think that I would be joined by everyone, no matter their ethnicity, in obliterating such a lie. I would like to think that the “revisionists” would be called racists. And I am pretty sure such a “professor” would be (rightly) run off campus. Yet Butz persists in your midst. If you feel uncomfortable reading this, that is good; you should feel uncomfortable when such venom lingers unaddressed in your enlightened midst. No protests. Intellectual hypocrisy at its worst. Lest they died in vain, please take a moment to remember the victims as today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Better yet, if Butz can freely exercise his right of expression, why not take five minutes and walk by his office and peacefully exercise yours?

But let’s be clear: these are not “opinions,” these are historical facts. If a mathematician claims two plus two is five, we do not call him a “mathematical revisionist” or criticize his “opinions.” We call him an idiot. As a university, we would be embarrassed to associate with him.

Prof uses lunar, martian dust simulants to 3D print By CATHERINE KIM

the daily northwestern @ck_525

McCormick Prof. Ramille Shah has developed a 3D-printing method using simulants of lunar and martian dust, which could be used for planet colonization. Shah said she has been working with her Tissue Engineering and Additive Manufacturing Laboratory to develop a 3D-painting process using materials that can easily be found on planets and moons in preparation for planet colonization. For more than five years, the lab has been developing 3D-printing technology that allows it to print a variety of different types of materials with one 3D printer, Shah said. In the past, lab members have printed using biomaterials, graphene and metals, she said. They decided to test using lunar and martian dust simulants based on the senior thesis project of alumna Katie Koube (McCormick ’14), Shah said. “In order to colonize or inhabit extraterrestrial places like the moon or Mars, people will need to be able to use the very limited resources that are available,” she said. “This 3D-printing ink technology and

process allows the creation of functional objects from the dust found on the surface of these extraterrestrial bodies.” Products of 3D inks made out of lunar or martian dust simulants are flexible, almost reminiscent of tires, Shah said. She said it is “fascinating” to see how bouncy the products are, despite their high particle loading. The flexibility can be adjusted through methods such as heating, which will center the particles together and create more ceramic-like materials, Shah said. McCormick Prof. David Dunand said he is collaborating with Shah to fire the products to give them hard, ceramic-like properties, which can be used for building materials. The technology developed for heating the products is based on the expected habitat, which is Mars or the moon, where most people would be working indoors. Dunand said he and Shah are currently looking into ways to use minimal energy to heat the products — while dust can be easily collected, energy comes at a much higher price in space, he said. They are currently researching ways of heating the products in air and in hydrogen, Dunand said. “You don’t want to be wasteful, like we are here on Earth … ,” he said. “(In space) every bit matters

because ultimately there’s a lot of dust, but you’re limited in energy. When you fire bricks, it takes a lot of energy do that.” Fourth-year graduate student Shannon Taylor, who works in Shah’s lab, said research for planet colonization is necessary because having a plan will be crucial in assuring its success when the time comes. “We’re not there yet, but at the point we get there we can’t send people without all of this in place,”Taylor said. “We have to know exactly what we’re doing because it’s super expensive and ultimately human lives are at risk.” Shah said the potential of the 3D-printing methods developed by her lab goes beyond creating products for just planet colonization. Her lab has managed to mix different types of inks together to create multi-functional objects that can be used on Earth as well, such as material that can be both electrically conducting and bone-regenerating, she said. “It starts to really expand what we can do as far as materials development and discovering materials that have very new properties,” she said.

Cats take series against Big Ten’s last-place Penn State By JOSEPH WILKINSON

daily senior staffer @joe_f_wilkinson

Northwestern snagged a key conference series win this weekend, taking two of three games against host Penn State following a sloppy performance from the Nittany Lions. The Wildcats (16-23, 5-7 Big Ten) came into the weekend sitting at 11th place in the Big Ten standings. After taking the series against last-place Penn State (13-26, 2-10 Big Ten), the Cats managed to move up one spot with four series remaining in conference play. The middle of the order carried the visitors to victory in all three games as senior outfielders Joe

Hoscheit and Matt Hopfner, along with junior catcher Jack Claeys for 10 hits and 10 RBIs on the weekend. Hoscheit alone was responsible for five of those RBIs, including an RBI double in the fourth inning of Friday’s game to get the visitors on the board. “I was just consistent at the plate,” Hoscheit said. “I didn’t hit as well as last weekend, but I was able to get the job done for the most part. It was great to win a series. It was definitely a positive weekend.” Hoscheit also walked in the sixth inning of Friday’s game, and was the final batter Penn State ace pitcher Sal Biasi faced on the day. Biasi struck out seven NU batters, but also allowed five hits and three runs in the contest. With Biasi out of the game, the Cats blew it open and put up 9 runs in four innings on the Penn State

bullpen to win 12-5. “The guys did a great job early on in the game just fouling pitches off and making (Biasi) work,” coach Spencer Allen said. “They just did a real good job of grinding him down, and he left a couple pitches up late as he was getting tired that we took advantage of.” Saturday’s game was masked by a collection of the Nittany Lions’ errors, as NU scored seven unearned runs on only six hits. Penn State had nine hits of its own, but also had five errors. Freshman pitcher Hank Christie turned in a solid start Saturday as well, throwing 6.2 innings of onerun ball and earning the win as the Cats took a 7-4 victory. “All the pitchers were great this weekend,” Claeys said. “They were attacking hitters and filling up the

zone, letting the defense work behind them, mixing speeds and hitting spots.” After putting up 19 runs in the first two games, the NU offense ground to a halt on Sunday. Hoscheit homered, but his solo shot was the Cats’ only run on the day as they put up only three hits in a 2-1 loss. Despite winning the series against the worst team in the conference, Allen said this win served as a stepping stone for coming games against Big Ten opponents. “Really moving forward we just have to win series,” Allen said. “I think like 12 or 13 wins is the magic number, and we’re sitting at five right now with four series to go, so it’s definitely within our reach.” josephwilkinson2019@u.northwestern.edu

CLINCHED

Esposito’s 5 goals secure Big Ten Tournament spot No. 15 Northwestern

By BEN POPE

daily senior staffer @benpope111

Rutgers

Needing a win to clinch a spot in the Big Ten Tournament and guarantee the .500-or-better record needed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, Northwestern’s Saturday game against Rutgers carried massive implications. “This was huge,” senior attacker Christina Esposito said. “We said it all week that this was a playoff game for us. We said before the game that this is how we keep this family alive, by winning this game.” And the Wildcats delivered. After falling into an early 3-0 hole and facing a onegoal deficit at halftime, No. 15 NU (9-7, 4-1 Big Ten) dominated the Scarlet Knights (8-7, 2-3) throughout the second half, scoring 10 goals in the period, to roll to a convincing 14-7 win. The Cats, who have suffered through their fair share of second-half struggles this season, have now rallied from second-half deficits to win in each of their last two games. “That’s a good sign for us, to really start to be able to finish games and finish them with authority,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. Esposito bounced back from her first scoreless outing this season against Duke last week by ripping 5 goals past Rutgers goaltender Bianca Dente. Senior midfielder Catie Ingrilli added a hat trick of her own. Junior attacker Nicole Beardsley and junior midfielder Sheila Nesselbush also each scored twice. “Duke was in a face-guard (against me) and my teammates were able to handle it against Duke without my help, thank god,” Esposito said. “Today was more of a balance and I just found more openings. Our offense has gone 360 degrees from the beginning of the season.” NU briefly fell victim to a hot start by the hosts, as

Rutgers struck three times within the game’s opening five minutes. Amonte Hiller called a timeout and told the team it needed to wake up immediately. The team responded. Ingrilli got the visitors on the board with a top-corner snipe off of a free position, and her teammates helped pull NU within 5-4 by halftime. Junior attacker Shelby Fredericks, who also tallied nine draw controls on the day, then tied the game soon after the break with an aggressive drive to goal. Less than four minutes later, Nesselbush gave the Cats the lead for good. Rutgers’ mere 13 shots on sophomore goaltender Mallory Weisse were the fewest NU has allowed since the season opener, and Amonte Hiller credited her team’s defense with giving the offense the chance to run away with the game. “We talked a lot about ground balls and making sure we came up with them in the second half,” Amonte Hiller said. “We had some late possessions where we were able to clamp down on them and not allow a goal, so that was exciting and that gives the offense momentum too, so the two were playing off of each other.” The efficiency on both ends ultimately equated to a win that potentially secures not one, but two post-season tournament appearances for the Cats. “It’s just playing for our lives at this point and it’s really an awesome opportunity for us to have, to treat every game like it’s our last game,” Weisse said. “That gives our team a lot of momentum.” benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu

NU honors seniors Wildcats close with 2-1 weekend in three-game sweep By GARRETT JOCHNAU

By EVAN AUGERIE

the daily northwestern @augerie

Northwestern celebrated Senior Weekend by sweeping Purdue, climbing two spots in the Big Ten standings and extending its win streak to four games. The Wildcats (20-23, 7-9 Big Ten) continued their march toward a .500 record by playing aggressive offense and composed defense against the Boilermakers (17-32, 6-11 Big Ten). The team notched a 12-4 run-rule victory Friday, a 6-0 shutout Saturday and a 6-3 win Sunday, building on an impressive defeat of DePaul last Wednesday. NU’s graduating seniors — right fielder Anna Petersen, first baseman Alcy Bush and left fielder Krista Williams — were honored in their last series played at home. “Our senior class is outstanding, and they’ve done such a great job of mentoring our younger players,” coach Kate Drohan said. “Alcy’s been our anchor defensively, Krista’s been our spark at the top of the order and Petey’s been the power hitter we’ve relied on this year.” On Friday, Bush mashed a tworun, go-ahead home run in the fifth inning — the fifth of her career. And Petersen kept up her dominant season by reaching base six times in the series. But the strongest statline belonged to Williams, who batted 6-of-11 with four runs scored and stole two bases over the weekend. Williams said she enjoyed commemorating the careers of her classmates in front of a large and supportive crowd. “It was cool to see all of the families here — two of us are from

California — so it’s fun to see our families come out to the games,” Williams said. “We looked back a lot on the memories we’ve had. We’re a close class, so it was fun to celebrate each other.” Williams was one of the NU batters who boosted the offense by running wild against the Boilermakers, contributing to the Cats’ 11 stolen bases in 12 attempts. Despite having the second-worst batting average in the Big Ten this season, NU leads the conference in stolen bases with 72, nearly two per game. No team besides Purdue, with 63, rivals the Cats in that category. “(The baserunning) made a big difference,” Drohan said. “It’s basically an aggressive mindset, and that really helped us in our at-bats as well. We shifted into the next gear offensively, and were able to create a lot of havoc.” Meanwhile, sophomore Kaley Winegarner continued her dominance on the mound, getting the save in Friday’s game and throwing a three-hit shutout with eight strikeouts Saturday afternoon. On the offensive side, junior catcher Sammy Nettling hit .714 with three doubles, junior centerfielder Sabrina Rabin stole three bases and junior infielder Brooke Marquez delivered a clutch single Sunday that plated three runs and put NU ahead for good. “I feel like our whole team played really hard for our seniors, and that speaks to the relationship that the seniors have with our team,” Drohan said. “There was a lot of focus and a lot of great energy, and it was very meaningful for us.” evanaugeri2020@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern’s acclaimed senior trio was honored after Sunday’s win against Penn State, but it was the Wildcats’ younger contributors who shined in the team’s final regular season matches. On Friday, freshman Dominik Starý recorded the lone win for No. 21 NU (20-9, 7-4 Big Ten) in its 6-1 loss to No. 2 Ohio State (26-3, 11-0). Against the Nittany Lions (15-12, 5-5), sophomores Jason Seidman and Ben Vandixhorn helped clinch the Cats’ 6-0 victory, before seniors Strong Kirchheimer and Konrad Zieba added another pair of singles wins for good measure. NU also dropped Chicago State 6-0 Sunday night behind singles wins from Starý, Vandixhorn, Seidman and freshman Brenden Volk. “They’re amazing tennis players,”

Vandixhorn said of the seniors. “Just to see what they’ve done over the past four years, it’s a big goal to reach and it’s something we’re all trying to do ourselves.” Though the season’s home stretch has been something of a farewell tour for the winningest senior class in program history, Starý, Vandixhorn and Seidman’s collective emergences have the team in position to remain competitive as a new era nears. Starý, who fills the No. 4 singles spot when the roster is at full health, is primed to be the Cats’ top returning player next year. His freshman campaign has seen its fair share of success, from his individual win in the fall’s conference singles tournament to his 22-8 overall record. Starý’s win against the Buckeyes’ Kyle Seelig, a redshirt freshman, only bolsters his case for Big Ten Freshman of the Year. “We knew he was really good coming in,” coach Arvid Swan said of Starý. “We’re just scratching the surface of what he can be.” In an otherwise disappointing match

Ben Vandixhorn returns a backhand. The sophomore was key in propelling the team past Penn State in the regular season finale on Sunday.

against Ohio State, Starý delivered a dose of excitement. A 6-4 first set win put the freshman on track to score an individual victory against another top conference newcomer. But as his teammates’ losses compounded on the surrounding courts, Starý said he began to lose focus as Seelig made a late push. Eventually, the freshmen found themselves in a third-set superbreak, which Starý won 11-9 after fending off match point. “I felt responsibility to win the match,” Stary said after eking out the win. “I said in my mind that I have to win, no matter what.” Though the rest of the team failed to match the freshman’s success against the Buckeyes, Seidman said he was proud of their effort against one of the nation’s top teams. “It was all about rebounding from that loss,” he said. “We knew our level was so good against (Ohio State), we just had to bring that same level over here to Penn State.” Seidman, who suffered a swift 6-1, 6-4 defeat in Friday’s match, delivered the Cats’ first singles point with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 showing at No. 6. Senior Sam Shropshire impressed at No. 3, bringing the Cats to the brink of victory with a 6-4, 6-0 result, before Vandixhorn clinched. The sophomore fell behind early in the first set, but recovered to post a 6-4 win in the opening frame. He secured the decisive victory with a 7-5 effort in the second set. “I knew I could beat him,” Vandixhorn said. “I knew it would just break through at some point.” Kirchheimer and Zieba added another pair of wins to bolster the team’s showing. With the seniors looking to end their careers on a high note and the newer prospects in a rhythm, Vandixhorn is optimistic about the Cats’ postseason potential. “We’re starting to come together as a team at the right time,” he said. “I feel really confident going into the Big Ten Tournament, and then ultimately the NCAAs.” jochnau@u.northwestern.edu
