IT students: ASG campaign erred

Patterson’s team members misused, violated policies By JONAH DYLAN

daily senior staffer @thejonahdylan

Members of Weinberg junior Sky Patterson’s campaign for Associated Student Government president misused the Northwestern directory and violated MailChimp rules, multiple students who work for NU Information Technology said. On the morning of April 4, Patterson’s campaign sent an email through the email marketing service MailChimp to roughly 4,000 students, campaign manager Jillian Gilburne said. About 30 members of Patterson’s campaign team obtained the emails by compiling a list of Facebook friends from Northwestern and then finding their information on the NU directory, Gilburne said.

The campaign collected data on students’ email addresses and — in some cases — class years, local addresses and Greek affiliations. Members of the campaign then put that data into MailChimp, which states that recipients of emails sent through the service must give the sender permission to use their email addresses. “Permission is express, verifiable consent to receive marketing communication,” MailChimp policy states. “Express means that when you asked for permission, your question wasn’t tied in with another agreement. For example, a separate checkbox for ‘I would like to receive marketing email from XYZ company’ is express and clear.” MailChimp also requires people sending an email through its platform to check a box indicating they have permission to use all the addresses listed.

NU christens Ryan Fieldhouse

Facility opens as the first component of Walter Athletics Center By COLE PAXTON

daily senior staffer @ckpaxton

There are still a few kinks to work out in Ryan Fieldhouse: After the Wildcats had wrapped up their first football practice in the

building, a fire alarm began blaring through the building. An alternating siren and evacuation message bellowed through the cavernous facility for more than 15 minutes, interrupting interviews and confounding officials about how to turn it off. Nonetheless, Saturday was a

celebratory day for Northwestern, which officially christened the first component of the $265 million lakefront Walter Athletics Center, designed to become an on-campus hub for athletics and recreation. Only the indoor football practice facility, known as Ryan Fieldhouse — approximately one-fifth of the

roughly 460,000-square foot complex — was unveiled. The remainder will open in the summer. “This is a dream come true,” athletic director Jim Phillips said. “Sometimes pictures are better than the actual facility. This is the » See FIELDHOUSE, page 8

Nonprofit extends drop-in services Mulukutla relives Connections for the Homeless to provide food pantry, clothing closet By ADRIAN WAN

the daily northwestern @piuadrian

Connections for the Homeless extended drop-in services to five days a week for the first time since 2015 in an effort to alleviate homelessness in the city. The Evanston-based organization announced in a Tuesday news release the reopening of its full-time drop-in services — offered at 1458 Chicago Ave. — thanks to “relentless support” from donors and volunteers. Connections will provide an array of services including access to storage lockers, a clothing closet and a food pantry as well as counseling with case managers and mental health specialists, according to the release. Executive director Betty Bogg said up until recently,

the organization did not have enough funding to offer the drop-in services full-time. In 2015, the organization struggled when the state budget impasse halted full funding for the public service sector, she said. Since July of that year, Connections has laid off several staffers and ended up stopping its drop-in services completely until April 2016, when they were made available part-time. However, following private community fundraising events and the state restoring some of the funding that was withdrawn during the budget crisis, the organization is back on track, Bogg said. She said although Connections continued housing services and homelessness prevention initiatives during the budget impasse, the reopening of full-time drop-in services further ensures access to “essential” human needs for

As Nehaarika Mulukutla was sitting in Fran’s Cafe at the beginning of her freshman year, another student approached her and asked her to sign his petition to run for an Associated Student Government Senate position. She asked him how she could get on the ballot, and decided to run herself after he sent her the information. “I actually beat him for the same position,” Mulukutla said. More than three years later, Mulukutla, the current ASG president, and Weinberg senior Rosalie Gambrah, the executive

vice president, are nearing the last week of their term. Looking back on their time in ASG, both said they were proud of the impact they’ve made. Gambrah said she hadn’t planned to join ASG in any capacity when she got to campus, but changed her mind after attending an activities fair at the beginning of her freshman year. “I remember walking into the activities fair, and it was the first booth,” she said. “It was Julia Watson and Erik (Zorn). They were just so friendly. I was looking for a community and for a leadership opportunity, so I was like ‘Yeah, I’ll join.’” Mulukutla later served as speaker of the Senate, while Gambrah served as vice president for student activities.

Curt’s Cafe trainees find inspiration in art program By JULIA ESPARZA

daily senior staffer @juliaesparza10

Murals, paintings, sculptures and poems created by young women from Curt’s Café lined the walls and counters of the restaurant Friday during the exhibition’s opening night. About 20 people milled around Curt’s Café South — 1813 Dempster St. — to look at the pieces and discuss them with the creators. The 15 artists, ages 16 to 21, have been working on their pieces for the past 10 weeks during sessions developed by Open Studio Project and Curt’s Café, a work training program for young adults who are at risk. Kaleyah Wesley, an artist and Curt’s Café trainee, said she was glad she was given the space to work on her art. “(The program) sparked a sense of inspiration and talent that I didn’t know that I had,” Wesley said. “It feels really good to see my art on display because it’s a different image when it’s finished, collecting your thoughts and putting it on a piece of paper, but as you complete the project it’s a work of art.” Open Studio Project executive director Chantal Healey said the artists from Curt’s Café attended weekly sessions at the nonprofit arts and social service organization, which uses art as a means of therapy. She said the 15 women who worked in the studio are either trainees or volunteers at Curt’s.

Healey added that Open Studio Project utilizes a “non-interference” technique, meaning the studio’s facilitators do not offer comments or critiques while artists are working so they can be free to create what they feel. The Evanston resident said she was glad the program gave these women an opportunity to find peace in their lives. “While we have a very diverse community and a lot of resources, we also have a lot of disparity of income,” Healey said. “So the opportunity to have a nonprofit that can provide opportunities (for people) to get in touch with their emotions and to express themselves in a healthy manner is very important.” Shaniya Spears, an artist and trainee at Curt’s Café, said she turns to art to calm her down when she is angry or stressed. She added that the opportunity to exhibit her work made her feel proud. Curt’s Café founder Susan Trieschmann said the women’s “powerful” artwork inspired her. She added the program is important because it gave the women an outlet to express themselves when they couldn’t find the words to do so. “In our society, women are often silenced, so this exhibition speaks volumes to the power and strength of these artist,” she said. The works of art will remain on display at Curt’s Café South for the next month until they are moved to Open Studio Project for exhibition in May. juliainesesparza2020@u.northwestern.edu

communications coordinator Perry Polinski said. Officers spoke with an employee who disclosed that a man had stolen bottles of shampoo –– valued at $55 –– and ran out of the store. Polinski said the subject fled on foot eastbound on Howard Street. Officers obtained a description of the suspect from CVS employees and broadcasted it over Evanston and Chicago police radio.

Sex Week artist talks gender fluidity By AMY LI

The Daily Northwestern www.dailynorthwestern.com Editor in Chief Peter Kotecki

eic@dailynorthwestern.com

the daily northwestern

Lissa Rivera said she was interested in photography from a young age, when she dressed and photographed her friends in fashions typical of the 1920s to “create” the world she wanted to be in. Rivera, a photographer and associate curator at the Museum of Sex in New York City, gave the final talk of Sex Week 2018, speaking to about 10 Northwestern students Friday about her explorations of gender and sexuality through photography. Rivera said she was later successful as a documentary photographer. However, after finding images online where people photographed their life-size love dolls, Rivera said she became fascinated with sexuality and created a studio that resembled a “sex researcher’s office.” “Everyone thought I was nuts because I threw away my photography career and built this weird office,” Rivera said. “I didn’t know what it meant. All I did was read 19th-century sex manuals.” Beyond spending time in her office, Rivera said she has also worked in archives at the Museum of the City of New York, where she met BJ Lillis, her eventual partner. Lillis, who is gender fluid, opened up to her and said he wore dresses at home, but didn’t fully understand why he wanted to. “I was like, ‘That’s awesome, and don’t worry about it. I don’t even know why I wear dresses,’” Rivera said. Rivera, who said she felt trapped in her marriage at the time, wanted to be with someone who could inspire her and help her express herself artistically. After developing feelings for Lillis, she said she later chose to end her marriage and be with him. She finally felt “safe” with Lillis, she said. The photographer said Lillis became her muse as she started putting makeup on him, dressing him up and taking photos of him.

Lissa Rivera speaks during a Sex Week event on Friday. Rivera spoke to about 10 students about her explorations of gender and sex through photography.

“We were buying all this discount fabric,” Rivera said. “We were taking pictures in our tiny broken kitchen. We were just messing around, having fun.” Rivera said when she photographed Lillis for the first time, she finally saw a “promise of a space where there was freedom.” Lillis was also able to fully explore femininity as Rivera photographed him, she said. The pictures later became part of Rivera’s most widely-known project, “Beautiful Boy,” which is an ongoing series of photographs of Lillis.

campus events that address gender and sexuality. “Honestly, I think that’s the demographic that needs this education the most,” Isaac said. “It is mostly female-driven.” Weinberg freshman Eliza Gonring, one of the organizers of Sex Week, said she was inspired by Rivera’s willingness to take risks in her life and in her art. However, Gonring added she was disappointed in the crowd turnout. “Sex is such a positive thing,” Gonring said. “It’s funny how people aren’t comfortable with talking about it.” amyli2021@u.northwestern.edu

News organizations must increase international focus EMRE TURKOLMEZ

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

While globalization seems inevitable, the knowledge Americans have of other nations reads as highly insufficient. This may be due to the geographic distance between the U.S. and other countries. Or, as a Global Media Journal article states, “the result of American arrogance and self centeredness” or “a parochial journalism profession that focuses on domestic news and entertainment and pays attention to the rest of the world only when happenings there effect America.” Regardless, it reflects a lack of substantive education and news coverage concerning international affairs in this country. This is not just an individual problem –– the Times Higher Education describes how this gap creates the danger of “being educationally and economically handicapped in an increasingly interconnected and global economy.” The interconnected nature of currencies, highly globalized trade and the increasing importance of international diplomacy foreshadows the need of knowledge on a global scale, no matter what career path one pursues. The lack of international news coverage is one thing that leads to the lack of international knowledge among Americans. It is rare to find news about overseas events, with the exception of the most gruesome stories in places such as Syria or areas that already feature high U.S. involvement, such as Israel. News organization Truthout, while

summarizing the 2013 annual Tyndall Report — a journalism newsletter that analyzes newscasts — stated: “Latin America, most of Europe and subSaharan Africa, South Asia apart from Afghanistan, and virtually all of East Asia — despite growing tensions between China and Washington’s closest regional ally, Japan — were virtually absent from weeknight news programmes of ABC, NBC, and CBS.” Combined, the three aforementioned major networks covered international stories for about 25 percent of their total air time, yet this includes coverage focused mainly on U.S. foreign policy. The possible U.S. intervention in the Syrian Civil War and its debate constitutes 3.5 percent of the 25 percent mentioned above. When other major stories — like the death of former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela (1.5 percent) and the birth of Prince George of Cambridge (1 percent) — are also taken out from this number, the 10 percent left for international news is miniscule. American students can hardly be expected to educate themselves about the nuances of international politics when U.S. news channels, a major factor in access to information, fail to widely cover international news. And when they do, it is “often biased,” as a Global Media Journal article claimed in 2009. Students can start to remedy this by seeking news sources that are more internationally focused, like Al Jazeera, BBC or Bloomberg or other similar organizations. But we should also push more U.S. news sources to finally cover the kinds of issues that are important to the world at large. There are countries at war, unbeknownst to many, while U.S. cable news channels spend so much time on

dissecting every last tweet from President Donald Trump. A global literacy study conducted by the Council on Foreign Relations, surveying 1,203 students aged 18 to 26 at U.S. colleges and universities, revealed that 43 percent of American students surveyed get most of their news from Facebook. Social media can be a highly unreliable source of information, as it often quickly becomes an echo chamber of people who share similar values and interests. If very few of our Facebook friends are well-versed in international current events, such stories will thus rarely show up on our feeds due to Facebook’s algorithms that steer us toward our own ideological preferences. Not only do American news outlets have a lack of coverage in foreign news, but the coverage they have lacks depth and quality. I’ve gone through a plethora of articles on CNN’s website about the coup in Turkey. A CNN article written based on an outsider source, a business owner from the United Arab Emirates who happened to be in Istanbul during the attempted coup, said groups of people were marching down Istiklal Road to acknowledge their collective strength to overthrow the military coup. The fact that CNN used a business owner from a country other than Turkey to report on a complex political event there is extremely problematic. Even though there were groups of people at that location marching, the context and reasoning behind the marches were largely misinterpreted by CNN. However, after watching Turkish news channels, one would likely conclude (or at least learn) that people flooded the streets upon hearing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan give a speech to the public

in 2016 saying that the people of Turkey should go out and fight against, roughly translated, “the rebellions who are trying to disregard our democracy.” The reason behind the marches was not that the Turkish community was acknowledging their collective strength; rather, Erdogan’s fervent supporters were blindly following his words. This behavior is comparable to that of the majority of Americans who seem to support Trump without giving considerable thought to his policy stances, and it was not included in CNN’s coverage of the coup at all. The same night, President Erdogan barely escaped capture by the military twice, which many Turkish journalists believed to be orchestrated. Unsurprisingly, I hardly saw this in any American news coverage of the event. This is only one example of how news coverage incorrectly shapes the perception of a major international issue. While the nuances of a military coup in Turkey — or any international event — may not initially seem relevant to the American community because it does not occur within this nation’s borders, global literacy matters. Non-Americans know more about current events in the U.S. — and countries other than their own — than Americans know about news from other countries. Within a rapidly globalizing world, this lack of knowledge will hinder everyone’s capacity to handle international issues. Emre Turkolmez is a Weinberg sophomore.

Turnover in Trump administration should concern us all WESLEY SHIROLA

DAILY COLUMNIST

I can’t recall any recent presidential administration that saw as many changes to its cabinet and senior staff during its first year as President Donald Trump’s did. In fact, during this past month, five senior officials within the Trump administration announced their intent to depart — whether voluntarily or after being fired via tweet. On March 6, Gary Cohn, Trump’s chief economic adviser, announced his resignation amid ongoing friction in the White House surrounding Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. On March 12, John McEntee, Trump’s personal aide, was escorted out of the White House after reported issues with his background clearance. One day later, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson learned via Twitter, of all places, that he had been fired and was being

replaced by CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Two more top officials would be ousted within about two weeks: H.R. McMaster, national security adviser, and David Shulkin, secretary of veterans affairs. So many administrative changes have occurred that the Trump administration has become a “revolving door” of sorts for officials to come and go on a pretty consistent basis. This should worry Americans for two reasons: First, it signals a lack of stability within the White House; secondly, it removes several top officials who acted as checks on Trump’s spontaneous decision-making and leadership style. One shouldn’t have to be a Democrat to acknowledge this; Republicans should be just as concerned about the current state of the White House. This lack of stability is most certainly unprecedented and a major departure from previous administrations, both Republican and Democratic alike. Take the position of secretary of state for instance, arguably one of the most important and prestigious posts in the cabinet. President Barack Obama had

just two secretaries of state, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, respectively, during his eight years in office, one for each of his two terms. Before him, President George W. Bush also had two secretaries of state — Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell — again one for each of his terms. Finally, before Bush, President Bill Clinton had two secretaries of state, notably the esteemed Madeleine Albright, who was the first woman appointed to the position, and Warren Christopher, once again one for each of his two terms in office. Meanwhile, Tillerson, Trump’s first secretary of state, served a mere 406 days in office. I’m not claiming that Trump has been an ineffective president. Indeed, he has made several notable achievements in the eyes of his administration and the Republican Party — appointing a conservative justice to the Supreme Court, passing major tax legislation and repealing the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act, to name a few. But his seemingly impulsive, uninhibited and incautious leadership style should be concerning for all Americans. I don’t think we have reason to fear anything

as drastic as nuclear war with North Korea, as some on the left have claimed to be inevitable, but I think it’s valid to be worried about the political stability and global standing of our nation. Trump has been in office for over a year now, but many of us are still waiting for him to realize that he’s not a businessman anymore and that now, as president, he cannot fire his employees on a whim without risking our nation’s political stability. It’s time for him to show to both the American people and the rest of the world that he is indeed a capable leader of the free world. I, for one, will still remain optimistic, and I suggest that you do too. No matter what, America will stand strong, as it always has. Wesley Shirola is a Weinberg freshman.

NU wins energy management, conservation award By RACHEL KUPFER

the daily northwestern @rachkupfer

Northwestern has been named an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for energy management, an honor given to partners who have continuously organized and carried out plans to monitor and conserve energy, becoming the first university since 2004 to win the award. Thousands of organizations applied for the honor, but only 15 — including NU — won in the energy management category, according to the website for ENERGY STAR, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency program that provides organizations with energy information. Winners are leaders “in the development and adoption of strategies that provide substantial energy and money savings in the buildings where we live and work,” according to ENERGY STAR’s website. A ceremony will be held by the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, D.C., later this month, according to a Northwestern news release. Kathia Benitez, NU’s director of sustainability, said she hopes the award will be a catalyst and inspiration

for other universities to follow NU’s environmental efforts. “I see Northwestern as being a pioneer for change in higher education,” Benitez told The Daily. “It’s about being thought of as leaders and movers and shakers in this industry.” This was the third year in a row the University has applied, and Benitez said ENERGY STAR’s guidance over time, along with a recent audit of six years of energy data, helped NU finally achieve Partner of the Year status. The audit revealed NU has “reduced energy use intensity (energy use per square foot) 12 percent compared to the baseline year of 2012, despite adding 815,000 square feet of space,” according to the NU news release. In addition to the audit, NU also uses ENERGY STAR’S Portfolio Manager to track energy, water and waste in buildings across campus. Education and outreach efforts, including participation in an annual Evanston street festival and activities surrounding Wildcat Welcome and Earth Day, were also among the reasons NU received the award, said Stephanie Folk, the University’s sustainability communications manager. “Not only are we making improvements, but we are monitoring and measuring the impact so we

know we are making the impacts we want,” Folk said. “We have inspiration and motivation to keep up that momentum in our efforts for sustainability and accomplish even more going forward.” Looking ahead, Northwestern’s sustainability programs will follow the Strategic Sustainability Plan, which includes the goals of reaching zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and reducing energy consumption 20 percent by 2020 from a 2010 baseline. Benitez said NU will also continue the partnership with ENERGY STAR that began in 2015 and allowed the University to utilize company tools to compare benchmarks and statistics with other organizations. Amid the buzz surrounding the award, though, the University hopes to leverage resources and increase visibility and campus engagement, Benitez said. “We’ll have a lot of opportunities to stand on national platforms to talk about how we’ve gone about auditing our data and coming up with strategic energy management programs that will get us to this energy reduction goal,” Benitez said. “We want to overall affect the greater mission, which is climate change.” rachelkupfer2021@u.northwestern.edu

Evanston CIO makes magazine’s top 25 innovators list By CHRISTOPHER VAZQUEZ daily senior staffer @bychrisvazquez

Luke Stowe describes himself as a “geek” for two things: government and technology. “Once I kind of merged the two, I just really enjoyed the intersection of the two fields,” said Stowe, Evanston’s chief information officer. In March, Stowe was included in Government Technology magazine’s list of the “Top 25 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers of 2018.” The magazine cited Evanston’s specific technological initiatives, including the creation of a new city website and open data portal — both of which Stowe and his team helped launch. Although Stowe sees his achievement as a team award, Evanston digital services specialist Hillary

Beata (Medill ’08), whose department Stowe oversees, views it as a result of his leadership. She said Stowe has helped foster his staff ’s interest in technology that could potentially benefit the city. “Just saying ‘I work for Luke Stowe,’ that means something in the city because it speaks to our work ethic,” Beata said. After beginning his career in government nearly two decades ago in Champaign County, Stowe made his way to Lake County. He later became Evanston’s digital services coordinator in 2012 before working his way up to manager of the department. In October 2016, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz appointed Stowe as the city’s chief information officer, a role in which he leads the Information Technology and Digital Services divisions. Going forward, Stowe said one of his team’s main goals is providing services to the city’s residents more

efficiently through digital services. “We always want to be good stewards of taxpayer money, but we also want to be good stewards of taxpayer time,” he said. “We’re always trying to reduce the friction there and save people time.” Bobkiewicz said Stowe has also worked to ensure the city is allocating funding and resources to provide sufficient protection against cyberattacks. “When people think about smart communities and smart cities, cybersecurity ... is really the first on the list,” Bobkiewicz said. “He’s been very exceptional in being thoughtful in this area.” Stowe added that he aims to collaborate with community partners to ensure digital access for residents, especially K-12th grade students, wherever they are in the city. While there is no one solution to the issue, Stowe said his team hopes to conduct a digital assessment of Evanston residents to learn more.

Beata said she and the team hope to not only make these resources available to Evanston residents, but also ensure that residents are aware the resources exist. She added that lack of access to the internet is becoming “an increasing issue of equity.” She hopes Stowe being included in Government Technology magazine’s list will help him and his team gain momentum for future projects. “It’s great that Luke has gotten the recognition that he definitely deserves,” Beata said. “If it allows us to have more visibility and just being a part of the conversation on how to drive forward the city and make change, that’s great.” Catherine Henderson contributed reporting. christophervazquez2021@u.northwestern.edu

Deputy city attorney Michelle Masoncup will serve as the interim corporation counsel while the city searches for someone to replace Grant Farrar, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said in a news release. Masoncup will assume the position Monday and will continue to serve as the deputy city attorney. Bobkiewicz said he hopes to find a replacement by May. Masoncup will participate in the search process, but Bobkiewicz said she has indicated she is not interested in becoming the full-time corporation counsel.

Farrar left the position Friday after taking a role at GovHR USA, a firm that provides “executive recruiting and interim staffing solutions, management and human resource consulting” to local governments and nonprofits, according to its website. Bobkiewicz told The Daily that Farrar will lead a regulatory practice for GovHR USA, which is run by former Evanston human resources director Joellen Earl and her partner, Heidi Voorhees. When Farrar announced his departure in February, Bobkiewicz said he played an important role in helping dissolve the Evanston Township. Voters elected to dissolve the township — which provided general assistance and tax advice for residents — in a March 2014 referendum. Masoncup said she will most likely serve on a city

employee panel during the interview process. “It is a very good job and an interesting place to work,” Masoncup said. “I’m looking forward to meeting the new corporation counsel and working with them in the future.” Masoncup has worked in the city’s law department since 2010 and assumed the role of deputy city attorney in 2013. Her area of practice includes land use, zoning, contracts and legislative drafting, according to the release. She said the corporation counsel advises City Council on matters that affect the municipal corporation, including labor negotiations and land use issues. The counsel also gives aldermen advice during public meetings. “Representing the municipality means that you

practice many areas of law so on any given day you need to give guidance to all of those issues and more,” Masoncup said. Before working for the city, Masoncup worked in private practice for three years, representing commercial real estate developers and financial institutions. Bobkiewicz said Masoncup will coordinate the work of the law offices until the city finds a replacement for the corporation counsel position. “Michelle has been a key member of our law department for many years and has tackled some of our most interesting land transactions,” Bobkiewicz said in the release. “I look forward to her work leading the law department over the next few months.” samanthahandler2021@u.northwestern.edu

Local officials, residents talk campaign finance reform By COLIN BOYLE

daily senior staffer @colinbphoto

About 100 people gathered at Evanston Township High School on Saturday morning to discuss solutions to end big-donor and Super PAC involvement in local elections. The event, hosted by nonpartisan watchdog group Common Cause Illinois, included a series of speakers addressing their campaign experience and their support for public funding. Evanston city clerk Devon Reid said he supported creating fair, local elections that “increase democracy in the voice of the public.” He spoke about ways to increase Evanston voter participation and to reduce the impact that big money can have in local races, citing the amount of money spent on the 2017 Evanston mayoral campaigns — a total of $377,000, according to Reid. “Big money had an influence in (the 2017 mayoral) election so we want to make sure we give folks an opportunity to not only get involved but give them an opportunity to run competitive races,” Reid said in response to the high spending in comparison to the 2013 election, which he said spent less than $150,000. Reid suggested Evanston adopt Seattle’s Democracy Voucher Program, which gives four $25 vouchers

Former gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) and his former running mate state, Rep. Litesa Wallace (D-Rockford), speak at Evanston Township High School. They were two of many local officials who discussed the need for campaign finance reform on Saturday.

to every registered voter, who can then use them as donations to a candidate’s campaign. In Seattle, the program encouraged young and nonwhite voters to participate in the election process, Reid said, adding that a lot of the voters using the voucher program were first-time donors. Reid called Evanston the “Seattle of the Midwest,” drawing laughter from the crowd. He concluded by stating he hopes that Evanston residents advocate for fair elections.

County and state politicians also chimed in at the event. Bushra Amiwala, former candidate for Cook County commissioner of the 13th District and a 20-year-old DePaul University sophomore, spoke about her experience campaigning. She said she was instantly asked about her fundraising progress when she announced her candidacy. “I was like, ‘What do you mean? Don’t you want to hear my policy ideas?’” Amiwala said. “You need

money to legitimize yourself as a candidate and to legitimize your campaign.” She added that she did not have enough connections to have sufficient funding contributed to her campaign. Former gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) and his former running mate, state Rep. Litesa Wallace (D-Rockford), also touched on the “cancerous” state of money in politics. Although Biss said he does not see “a big corruption problem in Evanston,” he cited the high socioeconomic statuses of most Evanston mayoral candidates in recent elections. “(Money in politics) has been so, so vicious in pushing people who are most in need of representation out of the system and silencing their voices,” Biss said. He encouraged Evanston voters — many of whom are progressive — to engage in efforts to remove big money from the city’s politics down the line. Common Cause Illinois student organizer Ibie Hart told The Daily she wanted Saturday’s event to be forward-looking, emphasizing that rallies should be about the future, not the problems of the past. Hart noted the need for equity in Evanston elections and said a public funding policy is the right step. “Publicly financed elections not only reduce the impact of big money in politics, they bring everyday people into the political process,” Hart said in the event’s news release. colinboyle2020@u.northwestern.edu

other way around. … This is as spectacular of a facility and training center that you could ever ask for.” The fieldhouse, which juts out over the beach and has floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Lake Michigan on two sides, contains nearly two fields worth of space, football coach Pat Fitzgerald said, and allows NU to practice punts, place kicks and kickoffs. That is in sharp contrast to Trienens Hall, the program’s relatively small indoor space that does not allow for some activities, like kicking. The Cats will also relocate many of their sports medicine, strength and conditioning, and administrative affairs to the new facility from a complex of

Former Northwestern law professor Anthony D’Amato dies at 81

Anthony D’Amato, who taught at the Pritzker School of Law for 47 years, died March 24, according to a Friday news release. The 81-year-old suffered a stroke earlier this year. D’Amato was the Judd and Mary Morris Leighton Professor of Law until his retirement in 2015. Throughout his career, he litigated international cases and wrote more than 20 books and 110 articles. “He loved Northwestern Law and fought hard to maintain and improve its scholarly stature,” law Prof. Martin Redish said in the release. “He is an important part of Northwestern Law history and should be recognized as such.” D’Amato’s courses at the law school included Analyzing Human Rights and International Law, according to the release. Prior to joining the law school in 1968, D’Amato received his bachelor’s degree from Cornell University. He received a law degree from Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude and served as the editor of the Harvard Law Review, and received a Ph.D. from Columbia University. He was a political science professor at Wellesley College from 1963 to 1966, where one of his student researchers was then-undergraduate and future Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the release. He was the first American lawyer to argue a case at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, which he won. D’Amato was an “internationally recognized and revered scholar of international law,” Redish said. D’Amato is survived by his wife and two sons. — Gabby Birenbaum

Chemistry professor William Dichtel named a Guggenheim Fellow

Chemistry Prof. William Dichtel was named a 2018 Guggenheim Fellow by the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, according to a Thursday news release. Dichtel is being honored for his work developing porous polymers. Dichtel’s work aims to affect lives outside of the lab and can be applied to water purification and energy storage, according to the release. This year, the Guggenheim Foundation honored 173 artists, scholars, scientists and writers for its annual grant from a pool of almost 3,000 applicants. Dichtel, who joined Northwestern in summer 2016, was one of two chemists selected, according to the release. “I am tremendously honored to receive this recognition. It speaks to the talent and dedication of the members of my research group, both past and present,” Dichtel said in the release. “The support will allow us to focus on a very early-stage effort to understand and control how molecules assemble and react to form materials with designed, uniform structures and tiny voids. — Gabby Birenbaum

buildings near Ryan Field. “It’s a historic day,” Fitzgerald said. “Somebody may build something bigger, but nobody’s going to build something nicer or in a better location. This is a game changer for us.” NU will not only have more compact operations, but an on-campus setup that will keep the Cats from being physically “ostracized” from other students, senior offensive lineman Tommy Doles told The Daily in 2016. “Everyone who lives in the dorms, they’re right there. They’re going to be able to walk there,” Doles said Saturday. “We’re more connected with campus; we’re not sort of a mile and a half away from everyone like we were in the past.” Though football is the centerpiece, the fieldhouse

and full complex are designed to incorporate NU’s other 18 varsity teams, recreational activities and large campus events. The field space can host varsity soccer and lacrosse games and will also be used for intramurals, Phillips said. It is slated to entertain School of Communication luminaries at “CommFest” performances later this month. Phillips listed new student convocation and large speaking engagements as additional uses for the facility; moving Dance Marathon to the building has also been discussed. “Athletics will get the priority, as rightly so, and that was part of the plan from the very beginning,” he said. “But there are going to be times when this facility is not going to be in use.” The splashy, costly facility — the original $260

million price tag was the highest ever for a Big Ten football complex — will “raise the bar” for expectations across sports and usher in a new area of NU athletics, Phillips said. Fitzgerald bristled at that suggestion, launching into a passionate three-minute monologue about how his team must improve, regardless of its facilities. Still, Fitzgerald, who played for the Cats in the mid-1990s and returned to Evanston as a coach in 2001, said he realized the significance of the building on the program when he first saw the turf laid and the lights switched on. “I got pretty emotional,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m not going to lie, I shed a tear or two … or 12.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu

the vice president role after former ASG executive vice president Macs Vinson encouraged her to consider it. Mulukutla and Gambrah began their term after winning the first uncontested ASG election in institutional memory. Economics Prof. Mark Witte, who serves as ASG’s adviser, said while the uncontested election was “disappointing,” Mulukutla was a strong candidate regardless. “If there was going to be an uncontested election, she was the best possible candidate we could have,” Witte said. “The fact that she ran, I think that’s maybe one reason other people didn’t run. They were like, ‘She’s got this.’” At the beginning of their term, Mulukutla and Gambrah asked each of their vice presidents to give them a list of term initiatives. Each person achieved at least one of their initiatives, Mulukutla

places to meet with clients, talk about what’s going on and give them services that take the pressure off of being on the street,” Ayoub said. Connections also started providing private homelessness prevention funding to supplement existing state and federal dollars, director of development Nia Tavoularis said. These funds can help people pay their rents, mortgages and utilities, she said. According to the organization’s website, Connections already offers training aimed at enhancing financial literacy to help people maintain housing

permanently. Tavoularis also noted the unique role that Connections plays in providing shelter and housing support for the local homeless population. “There are different organizations that provide different elements of (public services),” Tavoularis said. “But there aren’t other organizations that provide the comprehensive services to the homeless like Connections for the Homeless.”

said. Gambrah said the biggest thing the pair accomplished themselves was getting Center for Awareness, Response and Education training mandated for presidents and vice presidents of student groups. Those trainings will take place in the spring, she said. Mulukutla said a list of their term initiatives was open on her computer “24/7.” One initiative was student group funding reform, and Senate will vote Wednesday on a proposal that would overhaul the current system. If it passes, Mulukutla said she and Gambrah will complete a project that the last six administrations have worked on. Students’ wellness was a priority throughout their term, Mulukutla said, and they worked on ways to empower students both in and out of ASG. “We wanted ASG to be a place that people were going to when they were feeling like that so they wouldn’t have to say ‘Alright whatever,’” she said. “It was like ‘I’m feeling this way, I shouldn’t

be feeling this way, I can do something about it,’ which I think we did accomplish.” Mulukutla and Gambrah both said they will not endorse a presidential ticket in this year’s election, saying both candidates care about Northwestern and issues related to students. But regardless of who wins the election, Mulukutla said she hopes the next administration continues some of the policies she and Gambrah started. “Most most most importantly, I want them to continue to make ASG a platform through which students are empowered, not just a platform by which one individual or 10 individuals who hold a title or hold a position can do things,” she said. “I want them to spread ASG’s opportunity and platform to every single kid, every single person on this campus. Every single person on this campus should feel like if they aren’t happy with something, they can change it.”

Aldermen to vote on Harley Clarke By SYD STONE

daily senior staffer @sydstone16

Aldermen will vote on a 40-year lease agreement with Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens for the Harley Clarke mansion and consider a taxicab ordinance at Monday’s City Council meeting. If approved, the Harley Clarke lease would end a multiyear approval process and would require Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens to raise $5 million in funding over 10 years. The ordinance to authorize the lease would also make code-related improvements to the mansion in order for the city-owned property to be open for public use by May 2023, according to city documents. The historic mansion, located in north Evanston along the lakefront at 2603 Sheridan Rd., has been vacant since the Evanston Art Center moved out of the building in 2015. In November, aldermen authorized the city to draft a contract to renovate and lease the mansion — which includes lakefront access, a greenhouse and a garden — with Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens. If the contract is approved, Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens will begin two phases of improvements, the first of which includes the mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades, according to city documents. The first phase has a fundraising goal of $2 million, and a second fundraising goal of $3 million will need to be met by the end of the 10th year of the lease, according to city documents. City documents state that if Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens fails to meet the designated funding benchmarks, the city has the right to end the lease and retake possession of the property. The second phase of the renovation includes the restoration of the coach house and parts of the main structure that were not updated during the first phase. The lease does not specify a deadline for the second phase of improvements, according to city documents. Evanston Lakehouse and Gardens was founded in 2015 to restore the mansion and has received more than $90,000 in donations for the project, board president Tom Hodgman said in October. The Harley Clarke lease ordinance requires a two-thirds majority vote of the council to pass. The council will also consider an ordinance regarding a taxicab program for senior citizens and residents with disabilities. As the boundaries of the program were extended to include Wilmette, Skokie and Lincolnwood, the city’s taxicab program saw an increase in usage between Oct. 1, 2016, and Sept. 30, 2017, according to city documents. Because of this increased usage, the city saw a significant cost increase, causing city staff to search for ways to make the program more cost effective. The new ordinance would change the boundaries of the program back to just the corporate boundaries of Evanston and increase participant shares from $4 to $5, according to city documents. sydneystone2020@u.northwestern.edu

CAMPAIGN From page 1

directory has a disclaimer at the bottom of its home page, explaining its acceptable terms of use. Acceptable uses of the directory include “official Northwestern University use” and “individual communication between faculty, staff, and students listed herein.” Use of the directory for any other purpose is prohibited. Some of these prohibited uses include “private, commercial, or political mailing” and “reproducing and storing it in a retrieval system.” NUIT service delivery manager Josh Naylor could not immediately be reached for official comment. Kevin Lee, who is a lead student consultant at NUIT, said he could not comment on behalf of NUIT. However, after discussing the campaign email with two other NUIT student leaders, he said he believed the MailChimp policy was violated because it requires active consent. Lee added that the student leaders agreed the campaign misused the NU directory, but said he didn’t think it was a violation because the policy is written very broadly. Patterson, who is running alongside Weinberg junior Emily Ash, denied that any policy was violated and added that past campaigns have taken similar actions. Before beginning the process of collecting information from Facebook and the NU directory, Patterson said her campaign asked election commissioner Dillon Saks if her staff was allowed to implement

this process. Saks said he told the campaign not to use pre-existing ASG listservs to send emails, but that campaign staff could send emails out to a list compiled independently. He said he was unaware of the NU directory policy until Saturday afternoon, but declined to comment on whether knowledge of the policy would have changed his decision. Saks declined to comment on whether MailChimp’s policy was violated. McCormick freshman Spencer Colton, the tech director for Patterson’s campaign, said the campaign had never intended to collect students’ local addresses. Some team members mistakenly took students’ addresses from the directory and entered them into MailChimp, Colton said, but he estimated this was only the case for very few students. “That was not supposed to be collected and it doesn’t make sense for it to be, because we don’t need that info, we’re not doing like snail mail to people or calling people,” Patterson said. “But if that did happen, it was an isolated incident and a mistake, and no one was directed to do that.” Colton also confirmed that once concerns were raised over the campaign having the data, all of the data was deleted. Although he doesn’t believe any policies were violated, Colton said the campaign does not plan to send any future emails using the information it collected. Past campaigns for ASG president and executive vice president have used similar strategies to reach students, multiple people said. Isaac

Rappoport (Weinberg ’17), who served as chief of staff during Christina Cilento’s (SESP ’17) term as ASG president, said he worked on three campaigns during his time at NU, all of which used a similar system, including sending mass emails through MailChimp. “On all three of the campaigns I’ve been a part of, I believe we sent at least one mass email,” Rappoport said. “So generally, I think it’s quite common for campaigns to use the Northwestern directory or email addresses they collect from other sources, like teachers accidentally replying all to emails and, you know, copying their whole class into cc instead of bcc, and using those to compile a list of students.” Rappoport said he believed neither the directory policy nor MailChimp policy had been violated by the campaign, and added that NU students have the ability to opt out of displaying certain information on the directory page. Students can choose to not display their curriculum, local addresses, permanent addresses, phone numbers and Greek affiliations but cannot opt out of displaying their names or email addresses. At ASG Senate on April 4, just hours after the initial email had gone out to students, a member of Justine Kim’s campaign for ASG president approached Saks and asked where Patterson’s campaign had gotten the list of students. Saks said he responded that Patterson’s campaign had created the list independently and that the use of the directory to find students’ emails was acceptable due to precedent. Still, Kim said her campaign did not feel

“comfortable” sending out emails through MailChimp and opted to reach out to students through different means. She said she believed both directory and MailChimp policies were violated by Patterson’s campaign. “It’s a really dangerous precedent to set for ASG specifically as a body and for the election process to be actively violating the democratic process along with literal rule that had been laid out by the University itself,” she said. At the bottom of the April 4 email, students could click “update my preferences,” which led to a webpage affiliated with the campaign that showed all the data the campaign had collected on them. That information was being stored in MailChimp before it was deleted — and part of students’ concerns was that MailChimp isn’t secure because it had experienced data breaches in the past, Colton said. Patterson said she wasn’t sure whose idea the email strategy was, adding she didn’t know the campaign used MailChimp until Friday night. She said she didn’t believe the service’s policy was violated but still wanted to address the issue. “The campaign period is really short, and we definitely take concerns seriously, so that’s why we don’t plan on emailing people any more, since now all of a sudden this is a concern,” she said. “Even though it hasn’t been for any other campaign in the past, we still take the concern seriously.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

Nettling said even though they were successful Sunday, the team needs to be more consistent moving forward. “We’re definitely a team where hitting is contagious for us,” Nettling said. “At times, like today, we’re gonna put up 17 runs, and at times we’re not going to show up and only put up 3 or 4. It’s a matter of riding the waves of that consistency and just scratching, clawing (and) finding ways to produce runs when we aren’t necessarily feeling our best.”

The Cats’ identity this season has been producing runs offensively and being aggressive on the basepaths, regardless of the pitching performances. As NU looks ahead to No. 23 Ohio State next weekend, Nettling thinks the Cats have to focus on the things they did well and forget about the past. “Any time you can put up 17 runs, it definitely gives you a confidence boost,” Nettling said. “(We’ve) just got to focus on the positives and keep moving forward.” andrewgolden2021@u.northwestern.edu

Cats sweep weekend homestand, continue streak Ohio State

By BEN POPE

David Lee/The Daily Northwestern

Ally Palermo evades two Notre Dame defenders. The freshman midfielder tallied a brilliant assist after a long run through the midfield, helping to spark Northwestern’s 20-10 win.

It’s starting to feel a bit like 2013. For the first time since that season — in which Northwestern ran all the way to the NCAA Tournament semifinals — the Wildcats have won both six consecutive games and nine overall home games. No. 9 NU (11-3, 3-0 Big Ten) clinched both milestones by sweeping this weekend’s homestand, turning Friday’s 20-6 win over Ohio State into a rout before halftime and then pulling away commandingly in Sunday’s second half to top Notre Dame 20-10. Senior midfielder Sheila Nesselbush and junior attacker Selena Lasota continued to pad their already-impressive season scoring totals by potting 9 goals each this weekend, and senior attacker Shelby Fredericks added five assists and 21 draw controls. “We all have been running the offense really well and creating opportunities for each other,” Nesselbush said. “Everything I’ve been getting has been because of the assist to the assist or the movement off-ball, so that’s just us working really well together.” On Friday against the Buckeyes (5-7, 1-3), NU brushed off an early 1-1 tie to quickly find its offensive rhythm, scoring 7 goals in a six-anda-half minute span midway through the first half and rolling to a decisive 13-3 halftime lead. The Cats easily maintained that

lead throughout a second frame in which they cycled in numerous bench players. It was a similar story early Sunday against the No. 20 Fighting Irish (7-7) as NU blasted out a 7-1 lead over the first 17 minutes. The quickness and agility of the likes of Fredericks and freshman midfielder Ally Palermo through the open field confounded Notre Dame’s defense and opened up lanes for the Cats’ forwards to cut uncovered in front of the goal. “Our offense as a whole is really opening up the opportunities for both of us as players, and that plays into the way we play,” Lasota said. “Shelby is just lighting up the assists, and her vision on the field is just phenomenal.” Unlike on Friday, Sunday’s visitors were able to adjust, rallying to get back into the game and cutting NU’s advantage to 9-6 in the opening minutes of the second half. Midfielder Maddie Howe carried Notre Dame on her shoulders, scoring 4 goals and making an impact in transition ball movement as well.

But a goal credited to NU junior attacker Holly Korn that just trickled over the goal line with 27:37 to play seemed to turn the tide and ignite the hosts’ offense. Four minutes later, the advantage had been extended back to 6 goals and the Fighting Irish’s comeback hopes were effectively broken. “In the first half, when we started to get a bunch of goals in a row, we were almost playing too fast and we needed to slow ourselves down a little bit,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. “Once we did that, we were able to find our openings.” Thanks largely to the efforts of Fredericks, the Cats dominated the faceoff circle on Sunday, winning a whopping 26 of 32 draw controls. While the team used superior talent and a shot-happy attitude to subdue Ohio State, outshooting them 34-12, that draw control dominance allowed them to rely more on possession and patience against Notre Dame. Redshirt freshman goaltender Julie Krupnick also made 12 saves over the two contests, including several pointblank stops Sunday, and junior midfielder Olivia Harpel capped off the weekend with her first career goal in the closing minutes against the Fighting Irish. “We have a lot of (offensive) weapons, the defense is playing really well together, and obviously ... anytime you can win that many draw controls, it makes a huge difference,” Amonte Hiller said. benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern took a step back in West Lafayette, Indiana, as it lost its weekend series against Purdue, falling in the first two games, 14-6 and 6-3, before winning the final game, 17-8. With the series loss, the Wildcats (23-13, 6-5 Big Ten) lost their first conference series to the Boilermakers (10-28, 3-6), a team that has the second-worst overall record in the conference. NU’s pitching staff struggled this weekend and its offense didn’t back them up until the last game. Sophomore pitcher Morgan Newport didn’t get out of the first inning of the two games she started, only getting one out while giving up 11 earned runs and eight hits. Freshman pitcher Kenna Wilkey relieved the starting pitchers in all three games, throwing 312 pitches in 15.1 innings. She pitched all but one out on Friday and got every out on Sunday. Coach Kate Drohan said Wilkey was reliable all weekend. “She was (the go-to pitcher) this weekend,” Drohan said. “The nice thing about our team is that it has been a different person every weekend.” Even as a freshman, Wilkey has been a clutch pitcher all season. She leads the team with 104 innings pitched and 89 strikeouts. Wilkey said she enjoyed being considered the go-to person this weekend. “It was definitely a new role for

Purdue

14 6 8 me,” Wilkey said. “I just wanted to be able to help my team out. I wish I could’ve done more in the first two games, but in the third game, we all came around and it felt really good.” In the third game, Wilkey not only had an impact on the mound but also came through at the plate, hitting two home runs and 6 RBIs, leading the Cats’ offensive attack. After NU scored five runs in the first inning on Sunday, Purdue bounced back with seven runs in the bottom of the inning. The Cats then outscored the Boilermakers 12-1 over the next five innings. Drohan said NU put all the pieces together in its win on Sunday. “There were moments where we were great offensively in the first two games and there were moments where we were really pressing,” Drohan said. “Today we put together a complete performance and we had some different people step up.” NU got major contributions from senior catcher Sammy Nettling, who hit two home runs this weekend, and junior left fielder Morgan Nelson, who went 4-for-4 on Sunday with 5 RBIs. » See SOFTBALL, page 11

This weekend, Northwestern finished with one victory and one loss against Big Ten foes Michigan State and Michigan. Friday night featured a 6-1 win by the Wildcats against the Spartans (8-14, 1-6). The second match of the weekend ended with an NU (9-12, 4-3) loss by a 4-0 score against the No. 11 Wolverines (16-4, 5-2). The Cats’ domination of Michigan State was marked by victories in five of the six singles matches, three of them being in straight sets, and the acquiring of the doubles point. Interim coach Chris Klingemann said the doubles performance against the Spartans was exactly what NU needs to do to ensure more wins. “We have struggled in doubles this year, it is no secret,” Klingemann said. “We made a few adjustments and I think we played a lot better doubles today. … We hope to win more doubles points in the future, because if we start to win more doubles points we are going to roll through a lot of matches.” The top doubles spot is held by sophomore-junior combo of Dominik Starý and Ben Vandixhorn. They won their match 6-1 and both also won their individual matches, with Starý obtaining his victory in straight sets. Vandixhorn, who holds the No. 3 seed for the Cats, won his match against Michigan State’s Josh Mukherjee in the third set: 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. He said he strives to be an example for the rest of his team by bringing energy and noise, and that he improves with every match. “I need to work still on starting off the matches better,” Vandixhorn said.

“The first set I didn’t start off very well, so I was aware of that going in to my second and third sets. I (have) lost a few first sets now, so I need to

work on that.” On Sunday against Michigan, Vandixhorn started off his first set well against 118th-ranked Myles Schalet, but was unable to follow through, resulting in a 6-4, 6-2 loss. Other ranked opponents from Michigan included 7th-ranked Alex Knight, who lost the first set to the currently unranked Starý. Still, Starý and Knight did not finish their match given Michigan clinched the overall match prior to their finish.
