Delta Upsilon seeks new start Three years after suspension, DU returns By KELLI NGUYEN
the daily northwestern @kellipnguyen
Nearly three years after its suspension, Delta Upsilon has returned to campus with hopes of rebuilding itself into a new kind of fraternity, said Derek Dauel, expansion consultant at Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. The new DU hopes to reestablish itself on its founding principles of promoting friendship, spreading liberal culture, developing character and advancing justice, Dauel
said. In addition, it will stand as a non-secret fraternity, which means allowing open chapter meetings and discouraging secret rituals to promote transparency, he said. “We have an open door policy,” Dauel said. “We don’t have any hidden secrets. There’s nothing to hide. There’s nothing we’re ashamed to talk about.” In its re-founding, DU hopes to challenge and to make an impact on the current Northwestern Greek system, Dauel said. Dauel has been working with the new chapter to lay out the groundwork for what the fraternity and its new members want
Local nanobrewery to launch tap room By BILLY KOBIN
the daily northwestern @billy_kobin
An Evanston nanobrewer y announced plans last week to expand into a new space next to its current location in the city’s Main-Chicago district. Sketchbook Brewing Co., 825 Chicago Ave., aims to open its new location, a tap room at 821 Chicago Ave., by the end of March. The tap room will house the retail operations of the brewery, while the current location will continue to serve as the production facility, said Cesar Marron, one of Sketchbook’s principal owners and brewers. “We’re not moving anything,” Marron said. “We’re just basically creating an extension of the brewery, which is a production facility. We’re creating a tap room for customers
to come in, relax … have a beer and talk to people.” Sketchbook is owned by Marron and Shawn Decker and opened on Nov. 21 2014. It currently sells growlers and howlers — jugs of beer — to customers four days a week in its production facility, where the company brews its selection of more than 20 beers. Sketchbook sells its beers to several local restaurants and bars, but the new tap room will serve as both a restaurant and bar for the business itself, Marron said. “We hope our neighbors will find a new ‘local’ at Sketchbook,” Decker said in a news release announcing the expansion. Decker said the tap room will have extended hours compared to those of the current facility, and food and pints will be sold there. Marron added that Sketchbook will possibly » See SKETCHBOOK, page 6

that impact to be. “One of the advantages of starting the chapter over is that they are able to shape how the chapter looks,” said Colin Finn, director of alumni development for Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. “The (previous) DU experience at Northwestern really drifted away from its original purpose, so now that we have returned we are really able to attract, inspire and educate the next generation of undergraduate leaders.” DU was suspended from campus in April 2013 after violating the » See DELTA UPSILON, page 6
Kain Colter signed by Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday
The Los Angeles Rams have signed former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter as a free agent. Colter previously attempted to stick in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings, earning a training camp invite and a spot on the team’s practice roster during the 2014 season. He transitioned to wide receiver for Minnesota before being waived in May 2015. Prior to signing with the Rams, Colter worked out for the team last September. The ex-Wildcat, who graduated after the 2013 season, is the Rams’ first free agent signing since moving from St. Louis last month. As a Wildcat, Colter gained recognition for his running and scrambling ability, and during NU’s 2012 Gator Bowl season he passed for a careerhigh 872 yards and 8 touchdowns. In addition, he posted another careerhigh with 12 rushing touchdowns on 894 yards. In January 2014, Colter stirred
When Zachary Elvove’s dad flew out to visit him two years ago at Dance Marathon, he wasn’t given just any visitor pass — his nametag read “Founder.” Now a Weinberg senior, Zachary Elvove has participated in DM since 2013, which has become a family tradition for him and his dad, Roy Elvove (Communication ‘75, Medill ‘76). Roy Elvove had helped bring the first DM to Northwestern in 1975 when dancers registered as couples and competed to raise the most money and win a spot at the National Dance Marathon Finals at the University of Illinois. Once Zachary Elvove completes his last dance this March, the family will have racked up more than 150 hours of dancing. “It wasn’t until the second year when he came back when he had one of the IDs that said ‘Founder,’” Zachary Elvove said. “He never really thought of it as him being a founder of DM. He just thought of him as doing it. He didn’t think of himself as one of the people that helped found it.” Zachary Elvove is ranked as the 10th highest contributor to this year’s DM and has raised more than $6,500 from freshman to junior year, DM finance co-chair Alicia Kranjc said. The “multigenerational effect” is evident through the two men’s fundraising and advocacy, the McCormick senior said. In the 41 years since Roy Elvove and his peers helped bring DM to controversy by leading a movement seeking to unionize NU’s football team, the first such push in college sports history. Two months later, the National Labor Relations Board for Region 13 ruled in favor of Cats players, establishing the College Athletes Players Association as a union and
Northwestern, more than $16 million has been raised for more than 30 charities. At the first event Roy Elvove’s senior year, then called “Dance to Give Them a Chance,” 15 of 21 couples danced the entire program. “If you asked us then what this event would eventually become, I think anybody involved would’ve been absolutely clueless,” Roy Elvove said. “We would have no idea how big, or how long or how sustained this event would become. You do something because you think it’s a right thing to do, period. And that’s why we did it.” Roy Elvove said he had no idea if the first DM would be a success. Everything about the event, organized by Alpha Tau Omega and Associated Student Government, was a challenge, he said. The challenges ranged from booking live entertainment like Frank Sinatra Jr. to securing sponsorships and spreading the word. Besides raising more than $9,000, the event allowed students to help others, Roy Elvove said, which was also important to him. “I am absolutely in awe of what the Dance Marathon has evolved into at Northwestern,” he said. “It speaks volumes to the students who go to the University because it’s their passion and their commitment that has enabled this thing to survive and thrive over the years.” Roy Elvove served as the public relations director for the first DM, creating flyers and reaching out to the Northwestern community. About four decades later, his son served on the public relations committee for his first three DMs. This year, Zachary Elvove will be dancing with the Sigma Phi Epsilon team after three years of dancing with the Public Affairs Residential College team. » See ELVOVE, page 6 claiming the players are employees of the University.

Dairy company rep to visit Evanston President of North American branch will speak Thursday By RACHEL SILVERSTEIN
the daily northwestern
The president of the North American branch of an international dairy marketing company will speak at the Rotary Club of Evanston on Thursday about the company and its place in the Evanston community. Roisin Hennerty, president of the North American branch of Ornua Foods, which has been headquartered in Evanston for more than 10 years, said she plans to talk about the Irish dairy farmers her company represents. “(The purpose is) to continue to spread a little bit of information about the business … to share how our business has become integrated into the community and the value of that and to really explain who we are,” she said. Hennerty was asked to speak at the meeting as part of this month’s focus on foreign relations and global initiatives, said Dick Peach, executive secretary of the Rotary Club. The club is comprised of 48 local business leaders and community members, and holding a presentation at one of its weekly meetings gives speakers good exposure to their cause, he said.
Police Blotter Wallet, iPhone stolen from NU offcampus house A wallet and an iPhone were allegedly stolen early Sunday morning from a coat at a party in the 1000 block of Garnett Place, police said. The victim, an 18-year-old Chicago woman, reported the theft around 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon, but said the items were stolen from her unattended coat between 12:05 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. that morning, Evanston Police Department spokesman Perry Polinski said. The iPhone is valued at $600, and the wallet
“Rotary is all business people and business leaders, and they have not only a local but also a national and global reach through Rotary,” Peach said. Ornua, formerly known as the Irish Dairy Board, is a farmers’ cooperative that markets dairy products produced on Irish farms, such as Kerrygold brand cheese, to the rest of the world. Evanston was chosen as the headquarters’ location not only for its proximity to the Chicago area and its centrality in the U.S., but also for the vibrant community that it provides, Hennerty said. “We wanted to be able to provide people with places to go after work, food, entertainment, shopping,” she said. “There’s an awful lot of activities in Evanston as well, so it’s a very appealing place, particularly for the younger demographic that we have on our team.” Hennerty said the city’s strong commercial base and high concentration of food and restaurant businesses provide ample opportunities for innovation and partnerships. She emphasized the importance of “influencers” in the food industry, which she defined as entrepreneurs who develop new products and brands. “I think Evanston is a real hotbed for that kind of
community,” Hennerty said. Additionally, Hennerty said many Ornua employees live and raise their families in Evanston, which brings them even closer to the community. As a result of this bond, the company makes an effort to give back to the community, she said. The Kerrygold brand frequently contributes to the fundraising efforts of local schools, and employees volunteer as part of NU Campus Kitchens, a student organization that donates leftover food from Northwestern dining halls to Evanston residents, she said. Most recently, Ornua collaborated with Youth & Opportunity United, a local youth development agency that provides services to young people and their families, and brought in two interns from Evanston schools, Hennerty said. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz, who is also the president of the Rotary Club, spoke highly of the relationship between Ornua and the city. “They market Kerrygold brand products around the United States, so they have good professional jobs right in our downtown,” Bobkiewicz said. “They’re a great part of the Evanston community.”
containing the woman’s identification cards has not yet been valued, he said. Polinski said the address is listed as offcampus Northwestern housing, but the woman is not an NU student. She could not provide a description of a possible suspect, so there is no suspect information at this time, Polinski added.
The report came in around 6 p.m., Polinski said. Police arrived at the scene and found two radios and two sets of speakers, valued at $80 in total, missing from the store’s inventory, Polinski said. The 40-year-old manager told police he saw the two men leave the Walgreens and head southbound with the items in their pockets, Polinski said. The manager described the two as black men wearing black coats, Polinski said. Police checked the area but did not find the men, Polinski added.
Multiple items stolen from Chicago Avenue drug store
The manager of a Walgreens in the 600 block of Chicago Avenue reported Monday that two men had left the store after each stealing multiple items, Polinski said.

On Campus Faculty diversity workshop sees positive feedback Women’s Center program educating staff on inclusivity reports success By JULIE FISHBACH
daily senior staffer @julie_fishbach
Faculty and staff who went through a Northwestern University Women’s Center program designed to create inclusive environments on campus said they left the program feeling “confident” or “very confident,” according to data released by the Women’s Center. The NU Change Makers program, which began in fall 2013, consists of What students yearly groups of faculty and staff need ... (is) staff members that and faculty who learn ways to create more welunderstand where coming campus they’re coming from. spaces in classrooms, departAlecia Wartowski, ments and cen- Women’s Center interim ters. Of last year’s director of programs participants, 96 percent said after completing the program they agree with the statement, “I am more hopeful about my ability to help Northwestern become more inclusive.” “The reason we started Change Makers is because we saw ways to directly impact students,” said Alecia Wartowski, interim director of programs at the Women’s Center. “While students are doing so much of their own work … what they need to be able to do is to go to staff and faculty who understand where they’re coming from.” Wartowski said the idea for Change Makers began after staff at the Women’s Center met with Prof. Charles Behling, a former director of the University of Michigan’s Intergroup Dialogue program, a social justice education program.
“
Staff at the center then began brainstorming how a multiple-session program could combine practices and dialogue work to build skills tailored to individual centers and departments, she added. Wartowski said the program was created to foster understanding of students’ social identities and diversity and then apply that knowledge to create more inclusive environments. “(Only) if we help build knowledge and understanding around social identities for individuals can they then work within their departments or unit or otherwise to create movement,” she said. Change Makers, which consists of faculty and staff from across the university, kicks off each year with a two-day intergroup dialogue workshop facilitated by Behling and Kristie Ford, director of the social justice education Intergroup Relations Program at Skidmore College, Wartowski said. The workshop, which is largely focused on issues of race, is followed by monthly group meetings. During the monthly meetings, participants spend about an hour on the topic of improving understandings of various social identities, often using facilitated conversation and exercises, Wartowski said. The rest of the time is spent on community building, brainstorming ways to create change, problem solving and sharing how individual successes can be applied to other departments. “I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to meet colleagues around the university … to hear from people who have substantially different perspectives from me in terms of their own identities and how they see the world,” said Jason Brickner, a molecular biosciences professor at NU who is participating in the program this year. NU Spanish Prof. Shannon Millikin, who is also participating this year, said participants are encouraged to meet outside of scheduled meetings, which she said has provided a rewarding

opportunity to share goals and get to know others whose experiences differ from her own. “Change Makers is good at creating diverse cohorts, so I’m not going into this with a group of people who have social identities like my own,” Millikin said. “That’s beneficial to have that diversity which you might not have in your own department.” Unlike some other diversity and inclusionrelated task forces or committees at NU, Change Makers does not choose its members based on expertise but on interest, Wartowski said. “It’s not just creating the change … but how do we better understand ourselves with an understanding that all of us have hidden in us
our unconscious biases around different social identities,” she said. Brickner said the program has made him more sensitive to individual differences in various situations, including perception of power structures and how students view their relationship with him. Wartowski said she hopes the program ultimately creates a cultural shift on campus. “As we have more people that go through the program, my hope is that we eventually reach a critical mass or tipping point where this is who we are and what we do,” she said.

Letter to the Editor
Open letter by NU faculty in support of academic integrity
The undersigned 46 Northwestern faculty urge University President Morton Schapiro and Provost Daniel Linzer to withdraw the appointment of retired Lt. Gen. and former ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry as executive director of The Buffett Institute for Global Studies. As faculty who are deeply committed to academic integrity, we believe that it would be irresponsible to remain silent while the University’s core mission of independent research and teaching becomes identified with U.S. military and foreign policy. We are therefore requesting that the Buffett Institute’s resources and programs remain solely under the direction of a scholar unaligned with the U.S. government. Independent stewardship of a university research unit sends a powerful and timely message to the NU community that the Buffett Institute will remain a site for the development of top-flight creative and innovative research and teaching in the humanities and social sciences. The reasons for our petition are the following: - The Buffett Institute, according to an NU news release, is a university research unit dedicated to research on “important global issues, such as the spread of democratic political systems, economic development in impoverished regions of the world, immigration policies and forced migrations, the impact of cultural
PAGE 4
exchanges on societies, global religious movements and global communications, media and technology.” Appointing a non-academic career military officer to lead the Buffett Institute as executive director represents a radical revisioning of the Buffett Institute’s core mission. The current appointment is also troubling in the context of NU’s turn away from key university principles through its Qatar venture, which has given rise to questions concerning the University’s commitment to academic freedom and its entanglement with a repressive, authoritarian monarchy. -Eikenberry is currently a fellow at the Hoover Institution and other policy centers narrowly focused on policy debates about “national strategy,” and is not a regular member of the Stanford faculty. -Eikenberry advocates instrumentalizing the humanities and social sciences research to advance U.S. soft power, according to the introduction to Eikenberry’s 2014 speech before the Chicago Humanities Festival. “Karl Eikenberry believes that the humanities belong at the center of American foreign policy. And his voice matters. The retired United States Army lieutenant general and former United States ambassador to Afghanistan put cultural ventures, such as the Turquoise Mountain Project, at the heart of his diplomacy. He continues his advocacy through his leadership on the congressionally commissioned report “The Heart of the Matter: The Humanities and Social Sciences for a Vibrant, Competitive, and Secure Nation.” -A core NU value is commitment to the intrinsic worth of the liberal arts and sciences,
independent of their monetization or applied uses. Yet, NU faculty who met with him said Eikenberry ridicules faculty in the humanities who fail to prioritize the relevance of their scholarship to business interests. In his public speech at the Chicago Humanities Festival, Eikenberry said: “Sitting in one’s arts and humanities classroom, worrying about declining enrollments, cursing the STEM god, might be good grist for Shakespearean tragedy, but it does little to help the cause. You have to get outside of the box, and you have to compete for market share.” -In a discussion of how to cajole support for the humanities from the “captains of industry” with whom Eikenberry indicated he was spending time at Stanford, he said, “Business is about delivering products to people. That’s where the arts and humanities comes in, as a source of inspiration but also a communication bridge.” -The appointment of Ret. Lt. Gen. Eikenberry took place through an irregular, opaque search process that undermined basic tenets of faculty governance. The search committee appointed by Linzer and chaired by Northwestern President Emeritus Henry Bienen met just once and did not finalize Eikenberry’s interview; the committee members were not informed of Eikenberry’s first visit to Northwestern until an inquiry from concerned faculty prompted Linzer to notify them of this. -Finally and most importantly, given the Buffett Institute’s past and current impact on student learning and research, we speak out as custodians of the free inquiry implicit in a university education. We believe that NU’s student body, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, has
a vested interest in seeing the Buffett Institute’s support of the independent research that is at the core of teaching continue. Because we recognize the importance of students’ voices in the University’s future, we invite them to share their views on the current appointment with their professors as well as the university administration. For these reasons, and to ensure the academic integrity of the Buffett Institute, we request the appointment of a new search committee chaired by an independent faculty member who is a member of the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences or a committee appointed by the President of the Faculty Senate. — Jorge Coronado Associate Professor and Chair of Spanish and Portuguese Co-Director, Andean Cultures and Histories, Buffett Institute Jacqueline Stevens Professor of Political Science Director Deportation Research Clinic, Buffett Institute Samuel Weber Avalon Foundation Professor of Humanities, German Affiliated Faculty, Buffett Institute Jessica Winegar Associate Professor of Anthropology Co-convener, Global Research University working group, Buffett Institute To read the full letter and see the complete list of faculty who signed it, please visit dailynorthwestern.com
Football must fundamentally change to survive DANNY COOPER
DAILY COLUMNIST
The National Football League is the king of American sports leagues. Football was recently named the most popular sport in America, a trend that has carried on for many years. The league seems to have a lot to celebrate, and Super Bowl 50 was an appropriate venue for a self-congratulatory party. During the broadcast, there was a brief NFL ad in which children envisioned what Super Bowl 100 might look like 50 years down the road. The kids wondered what role hoverboards and holograms might play in the game’s centennial, but perhaps a more interesting thought is how the sport will be fundamentally different. The violent nature of football makes it likely that it will cease to exist in its current incarnation in a couple of generations. Football has had several issues related to player health in recent years. CTE, or chronic
traumatic encephalopathy, is a degenerative disease caused by repetitive head trauma which can lead to dementia and depression. Concerns over CTE, as well as over the hobbled states in which many football playThe violent ers live after nature of football their careers, have prompted makes it likely several former that it will cease to NFL players such as Antexist in its current waan Randle incarnation El to say they in a couple of regret having played the generations. sport. Though massive hits on unprotected players were celebrated on ESPN highlight reels not too long ago, concerns over long-term effects of those devastating blows have made those clips a thing of the past. That discomfort might seem insignificant in comparison to the unbelievable popularity of the sport, but football needs only to look at boxing as a
“
cautionary tale. Boxing was once among the most popular American sports, but it was plagued by concerns about fighter health outside of the ring. Apprehension over the long-term effects of the sport was not the sole cause of boxing’s decline, but it becomes harder to support the sport when you see former participants reduced to shells of themselves. Football differs from boxing in a key way, though. Boxing could not change the fundamental aspects of the sport to make it safer; two people wailing on each other in the ring is bound to cause some damage. Football, on the other hand, can be altered to preserve the long-term health of its players. It already has been once before. Football, in its infancy, was even more barbaric than it is today. Eighteen football players died in 1904 alone, according to the Chicago Tribune. President Teddy Roosevelt, facing a national sporting crisis, called for reforms. It took another lethal season, in which 19 players died and several schools — including Northwestern — dropped the sport altogether, but in 1906 the reforms were made. These changes, including the addition
Steps to fighting the fear of missing out ALANA FARKAS
DAILY COLUMNIST
It’s a typical human feeling: the anxiety we feel when we believe our friends are having fun without us, that everyone we know is doing something while we are not. It’s a common fear among most people that I have encountered, but only recently have I heard a name for it — FOMO, the fear of missing out. I have certainly felt this overwhelming fear, especially since I arrived at Northwestern in the fall. Freshman year began with a 10-day Wildcat Welcome program, during which freshmen were required to attend orientation events with their peer adviser groups. In reality, however, Wildcat Welcome was more of a huge period of free time with minimal structure. Freshmen were left on their own to discover the world of NU. Every minute seemed to be valuable time to get out of the dorm and meet as many people as possible. It was a social race to make friends. Who would want to be left behind? This anxiety of feeling socially left behind
was also significantly pronounced through social media. People constantly post photos of happy faces and groups of friends, and they always seem to be attending the best parties and hanging out with more people than you are. In terms of FOMO, Fall Quarter of freshman year was rough, but I had three weeks of Winter Break to reflect on what I truly wanted from my college experience. When I arrived back to NU for the start of Winter Quarter, I tried to have a different outlook. My goal was to focus more on building strong, meaningful relationships with a few people, rather than having surface-level relationships with many people. I knew that if I felt secure in the relationships I built, the FOMO would fade. This was my first step towards fighting FOMO. This was difficult initially, but as I continued to practice fighting FOMO, the unrealistic fears began to fade. I took certain steps to overcoming FOMO, which I believe can help anyone suffering from the fear of missing out. Ingrain into your head “The 10-Day Rule,” a strategy my roommate taught me. In a situation in which you are feeling FOMO, ask yourself, “Will this truly matter in 10 days?” The answer is usually no. Ten days from now, nobody will remember what happened at that fraternity party or who was there and
who wasn’t. Your life will most likely not be any different 10 days from now because you missed out on an event. Remember social media only shows people at their best, which is an inaccurate depiction of real life. Social media domains like Facebook and Snapchat paint an unrealistic picture of people in their happiest moments of life. College life is not just parties and socializing with friends. People are usually spending most of their time in class and studying. Join groups where you can have fun with people without fearing you are missing out. Many of my friends are now the people I met through student organizations such as clubs, sports, Greek life and even classes. You will not have to fear missing out if you do what you enjoy with people who share similar interests. Lastly, true friends will love you whether or not you attend every social event. Do what is best for you, not what you think you should do because others are. Your friends will respect and even admire your authenticity. Alana Farkas is a Weinberg freshman.

of the forward pass, greatly reduced fatalities and helped shaped the game into what it is today. I am not expecting President Barack Obama to step in and plead for changes to be made. Instead, it’s on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NCAA administrators and high school officials to agree on universal rule changes that will make the game safer for all its players. There are a range of suggestions: eliminating kickoffs, making helmets out of different materials or perhaps even getting rid of them entirely in order to prevent the sort of head-first tackles which endanger offensive and defensive players alike. Whatever the solution is, it must come quickly, before yet another generation of young men is broken down. Danny Cooper is a Medill freshman.

Accuity moves global headquarters to Evanston from Skokie
Financial services firm Accuity moved its global headquarters from Skokie to Evanston on Monday for better access to potential recruits
National News Outsiders Trump, Sanders win New Hampshire primary NASHUA, N.H. — Republican Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders won the nation’s first presidential primary overwhelmingly Tuesday as rebellious voters sent a strong message demanding dramatic change in Washington. Sanders, a senator from Vermont, led former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 58 to 40 percent with 23 percent of precincts reporting and was declared the winner by TV networks soon after the polls closed. Clinton had narrowly won last week’s Iowa caucus and a victory here, or even a close second, would have given her important momentum. Instead, she suffered a crushing defeat, creating new pressure to win the upcoming Nevada caucus and South Carolina primary. Claiming victory and thanking cheering supporters, Sanders said his victory sent a powerful signal to the political establishment. “We won because of your energy,” he said. “Together, we have sent a message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California ... that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs.” Clinton conceded defeat and congratulated Sanders shortly after 9 pm EST. “I still love New Hampshire, and I always will,” she said, with her husband and daughter standing nearby. “Now we take this campaign to the entire country. We’re going to fight for every vote in every state.” She emphasized areas where she agreed with Sanders, and sought to share some of his appeal to those angry at the influence of big money in politics. “I will fight to reign in Wall Street,” she said. “And you know what? I know how to do it.” Trump, a New York City real estate magnate, was coasting to his first election win. With 22 percent of
from Northwestern and transportation to Chicago, company officials said. The company hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Accuity’s new offices, 1007 Church St., where Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and officials from the Evanston Chamber of Commerce welcomed the business to the city. The company finalized its plans to move to Evanston in May, when City Council approved a resolution to provide free
parking to Accuity employees in the nearby public garage at 1800 Maple Ave. Evanston and Accuity have collaborated previously through the company’s “Accuity In Action” initiative, through which employees volunteer in their communities and work within local projects. “I am extremely pleased to welcome our staff and customers to our new office in Evanston and I look forward to Accuity strengthening its links
with the local community,” said Hugh Jones, president and CEO of Accuity, in a news release. “This project represents an enormous opportunity for us to take all the positive elements of our rich history and culture at Accuity and wrap it into a completely new and fresh look, in line with our successful journey as a business.”
precincts reporting, he had 34 percent in the multicandidate field and also was declared the runaway winner moments after the polls closed. New Hampshire Republicans did not appear ready to settle the race to become the chief establishment alternative to the outspoken outsider. Gov. John Kasich of Ohio was leading for second place with 16 percent. Trailing were Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, at 11.6 percent; Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, 11.5 percent; Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., 10 percent; and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, 8 percent. Kasich, who conducted more than 100 town hall meetings in the state, did well among late deciders, a huge bloc of voters. Rubio did not, and might end up the night’s biggest loser. Eight days earlier, he claimed victory with a close third-place finish in Iowa, and was counting on at least a solid runner-up showing here. But his robotic debate performance Saturday triggered doubts about his ability to think on his feet and clearly hurt him. Christie’s campaign might end if he finished in single digits. He had bet heavily on doing well in a state with a center-right electorate similar to his own. Voters, though, wanted something other than veteran politicians. For Trump, coasting to his first election victory, and Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist and Congress’ longest serving independent, the victories were resounding triumphs over businessas-usual politics. They beat some of the biggest, best-funded names in 2016 and they did it in unconventional ways. Although Trump’s pitch was conservative and Sanders’ was liberal, both vowed to end the influence of big money in politics. They financed their campaigns without cash from corporate donors or wealthy friends. Both mobilized “undeclared” voters not aligned with either political party. Republican voters were unified in their anger, according to network exit polls. Ninety-one percent said they were dissatisfied with the federal government. About 40 percent were angry about how it
was operating. Helping to fuel Trump’s rise was widespread Republican dissatisfaction with the party, as half of the voters said GOP politicians had betrayed them. Voters throughout the week since the Iowa caucuses have said they were disappointed with the Republican-led Congress, complaining that it had failed to undo Obama administration initiatives such as the Affordable Care Act. As a result, roughly half the voters Tuesday wanted someone from outside the usual political circles. Trump has never been active in GOP politics, and he promised to bring his business acumen and hardball style to gridlocked Washington. Trump also benefited by voters’ accepting a shift away from campaigning as usual. The way to win New Hampshire is supposed to be person-to-person campaigning through the bitter cold and snow, but Trump usually limited his efforts to a mass rally or two a day. His ground game lagged. About 1 in 5 Republican voters was contacted by a Trump supporter, far below contacts by most other candidates, according to a Monmouth University survey. But Trump’s brashness seemed only to help him. Two-thirds of Republicans said they backed temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States, as Trump has suggested. Democrats didn’t want that sort of radical change, but they were eager for a candidate who is honest and trustworthy. Sanders scored far better among those voters than Clinton, who’s been dogged by an FBI investigation of her use of a private email server while secretary of State. In the campaign’s closing days, she also was criticized for accepting big money for speeches to corporate interests, and she wouldn’t release transcripts of the closed-door remarks. Sanders was well-known here, since he’s represented neighboring Vermont since 1991. He caucused with the Democrats in Congress but insisted on keeping the independent label. His liberal views, notably support for universal health care and an
estimated $13.2 trillion in higher taxes over the next decade, put him outside the party mainstream. But in a year when voters sought to shake up the political system, Sanders’ refusal to take corporate money reverberated, and younger voters found his ideas appealing. New Hampshire’s independent-minded voters historically are predictors of future nominees, or at least trends. But Trump and Sanders will face tougher challenges in the next few weeks. Next up for Republicans is the South Carolina primary Feb. 20. The state’s GOP electorate resembles Iowa’s, where Cruz won last week’s caucus and Trump finished second. Conservative Christians might make up as much as two-thirds of the South Carolina Republican electorate, and Cruz’s Bible-quoting message has the potential to resonate. The Democrats’ next test is Nevada’s caucus the same day. Clinton is seen as having an edge, since a sizable bloc of Latinos and blacks, thought to be loyal to her, will vote.

University’s alcohol policy. An investigation revealed the fraternity had provided alcohol to minors, allowed minors to consume alcohol and broke the substance-free housing sanction. In April 2015, DU’s international headquarters approved the chapter’s return. By the time of its suspension, the fraternity had deviated from its core values, Dauel said. “We’re starting fresh and looking to move past that history and start a new beginning,” Dauel said. “We want these guys to be much more values-driven, focusing on academics and service and trying to become one of the best DU chapters in the nation.” Sophomore Dalton Awde is a member of the new DU’s founding class. He said he chose DU because of the opportunity it presented to shape the returning fraternity. “Having a fresh start and getting to maybe create something, that’s what really drew me to it,” Awde said. “Also being able to shape a frat into something that’s not traditional, because DU’s hoping to be something unlike other frats on campus.” The fraternity hopes to differentiate itself from other fraternities by promoting inclusivity through its non-secret policy. Awde said an important part of facilitating this change is bringing in new members and new voices to contribute to what the new DU will look like.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2016 DU began recruiting new members Jan. 11 in accordance with Interfraternity Council guidelines that prohibited the fraternity from recruiting during formal recruitment, which was a week earlier. As of Tuesday, DU had 24 members, Dauel said, and the fraternity hopes to recruit an additional 26 members by the end of the quarter. Within the next year, DU hopes to reach 85 members, the campus average for Greek fraternities, Dauel said. Reaching the average will allow DU to be a more sustainable organization, he added. Currently, the DU fraternity house’s only residents are Dauel and his colleague from nationals. DU members will be able to live in the house starting Fall 2016. For the duration of the 2015-2016 academic year, the house will be accessible to DU members and used to host fraternity events. As part of the fraternity’s return, DU will be hiring a house director to live in the house. The implementation of this position is a requirement for DU’s return to campus, Cynthia Rose, NU’s director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, wrote in an email to The Daily. DU will be one of four fraternities to have a live-in House Director beginning Fall 2016. “This is a larger trend nationally and one that we are exploring for Northwestern,” Rose said. kellinguyen@u.northwestern.edu will be an appropriate addition to Evanston. “It’s going to be great for the Chicago-Main neighborhood, because it’s just another option for people to gather and drink beer,” Zalmezak said. “I live in that neighborhood, and I think the neighborhood is excited about it.” The business will also continue its communitysupported brewery model at its tap room, Marron said. The CSB model allows customers to become members at Sketchbook and pay for six months or a year of growler fills at a discounted price. However, customers do not have to be CSB members to buy beer through the company. Zalmezak said Sketchbook’s CSB model is unique and adds to the community by encouraging residents to buy local. “There’s not one (brewery) like it, and I think that just builds more of a community feel,” Zalmezak said. “You feel like you’re investing in the brewery.” Although the tap room will bring some new aspects to Sketchbook, Marron said the focus of the new space will continue to be on the company’s beer. “We do what we do best, which is our beers,” Marron said. williamkobin2018@u.northwestern.edu

Besides volunteering during DM in the spring, Zachary Elvove was also involved in the peer mentoring program Eye to Eye to empower students with learning disabilities. He said by working with students, he could show them they could still attend NU despite having a learning disability. Zachary Elvove’s volunteering and generosity impresses his dad, who added that DM gives him an excuse to visit his son at NU. Roy Elvove will be traveling to Evanston in March for Zach’s last DM. Although he knows the date is coming close, Zachary Elvove said he doesn’t know how he’ll feel when he finishes his 120th hour of dancing. “That’s very difficult to put into words to know how proud I am to know that I have a son who embodies all that is good, who’s embodying that sense of caring and wanting to help others,” Roy Elvove said. “That’s an incredible legacy — to have a child that wants to make the world a better place.” ericasnow2019@u.northwestern.edu

Lasota, Weisse pick up honors after strong play against Blue Devils
Two Wildcats earned honors for lacrosse this week: sophomore Selena Lasota and freshman Mallory Weisse. Lasota was named a preseason all-American attacker by Lacrosse Magazine. The British Columbia native burst onto the scene last year as a freshman for Northwestern, leading the team and the entire Big Ten in goals scored with 69. Additionally, Lasota was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week after she scored 5 goals in the Cats’ season-opening win over then-No. 4 Duke. Weisse was named National Rookie of the Week by Inside Lacrosse for her performance against the Blue Devils last weekend. The freshman goalie saved eight of Duke’s 16 shots on goal, leading to her honors. No. 4 NU next takes on No. 10 Virginia on Saturday. — Max Gelman

Students at Wheaton College, a private evangelical school in the west suburbs, will kick off a 40-day fast Wednesday, calling on the college and other evangelical Christian institutions to confess and repent sins of racism, sexism and Islamophobia. The demonstration follows news last weekend that Larycia Hawkins, a political science professor suspended for saying Muslims and Christians worship the same God, agreed under confidential terms to leave the school permanently. Her departure has upset students, alumni and Christian clergy who plan to demonstrate in front of Wheaton’s Edman Memorial Chapel on Wednesday. Clergy will distribute ashes to participants and

NU managed to tie the game at 56 with under 4 minutes to go, but the constant turnovers in the prior minutes burned away the Cats’ cushion and left them unprepared to withstand an Ohio State run at the end of the game. Against one of the top defenses in the conference, NU’s missed opportunities in that stretch due to bad ballhandling and poor decisions were too much to overcome. With Iowa’s pressure crushing the Cats in a Jan.
31 loss and now Ohio State having success attacking NU with a press, Demps said he expects opponents will look to get after the Cats in a similar fashion going forward. “We’ve got to learn from it,” he said. “We’ve just got to get back to the drawing board and figure out how we can be better in the press.”
double figures and freshman forward Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah tied her career-high with 16 rebounds. All of NU’s big four — Coffey, Deary, junior guard Christen Inman and Lyon — played at least 41 minutes in the double overtime contest. McKeown, however, downplayed any concerns about fatigue, despite the team traveling to New Jersey just 48 hours after the doubleovertime thriller. “They’re young; they’ll bounce back,” he said of his team. “I think it’s one of those things where you just got to move forward. Rutgers played (Sunday), so everybody’s playing pretty much on the same dates.” Against Rutgers, the Cats won’t have to worry about slowing down Rachel Banham and Carlie Wagner, the Minnesota tandem that leads the nation in combined scoring. Banham scored an NCAA record-tying 60 points on Sunday and the duo combined for 81 in the contest. The Scarlet Knights have only two players who average double-digit scoring, and the team has not scored 80 points all season. Deary said the key to victory for NU is to focus on itself and make a few minor adjustments. “It’s just going to be us finishing defensively as well as doing little things, knocking down free throws, just a few smarter plays,” she said.

passers-by as part of Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, a 40-day period of prayerful reflection leading up to Easter. “Many of us student leaders just don’t believe this is reconciliation,” said Maryam Bigash, 19, a sophomore at Wheaton. “It’s masking the deeper issue which is the problem. … With the fast we are reminding the school that even though they haven’t found resolution with Dr. Hawkins, we are not giving up on nationwide issues. We still believe there is racism in our school. We believe that there’s Islamophobia and those things still exist.” The demonstration is modeled after the act that initially got Hawkins in trouble. In December she posted a photo of herself on Facebook wearing a hijab to show support for Muslims who had been under scrutiny since mass shootings in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif. She called her gesture an act of “embodied solidarity.”
“I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book,” she explained in her Facebook post. “And as Pope Francis stated … we worship the same God.” Within days, the college placed Hawkins on paid administrative leave through the spring semester, pending a review. According to the administration, not clarifying what makes Christianity distinct from Islam put Hawkins in conflict with Wheaton’s statement of faith, 12 points that all Wheaton faculty must affirm. Though she submitted a theological response to questions about her statement of solidarity, Wheaton Provost Stanton Jones said it did not resolve the issues. Before students returned to campus from winter break in January, Jones took the first step toward firing Hawkins, the first tenured African-American woman on Wheaton’s faculty. A few weeks later, the college’s Faculty Council, a
group of professors elected by their peers, unanimously recommended withdrawing Hawkins’ suspension and halting termination proceedings. On Saturday, college President Philip Ryken announced a confidential separation agreement between Hawkins and the college. A farewell service was expected to take place Tuesday night at Edman Chapel. Hawkins and Ryken are expected to appear at a joint news conference in Chicago on Wednesday in which they will take no questions. To highlight their disapproval with the decision to not take questions, students have scheduled the launch of their fast, dubbed “the fast of embodied solidarity,” at the same time that news conference starts. Participants can decide whether to skip a meal, give up a particular food or give up food altogether.

OHIO STATE
TURNOVER AND OUT Northwestern can’t hold on to ball, is swept by Ohio State
By GARRETT JOCHNAU
the daily northwestern @garrettjochnau
Recent history has shown that when Northwestern’s shots are falling, victories follow in suit. But in Columbus on Tuesday, the Wildcats found themselves empty-handed against Ohio State despite shooting 12-of-27 from long range. Losing 71-63, NU (16-9, 4-8 Big Ten) saw its postseason hopes dwindle further as Ohio State (1510, 7-5) completed a season sweep of the Cats. Through much of the game, NU held a steady lead. In the opening minutes, senior guard Tre Demps and sophomore guard Bryant McIntosh once again proved that when operating in full force together, the two can carry the Cats to new heights. A rejuvenated Demps opened the night with an end-of-the shot clock 3-pointer, ultimately finishing with 14 points on 3-of-7 3-point shooting. “This game, I thought we did a much better job of getting (into the paint) and then kicking out, which is why we got a lot of great
looks from 3, and we made them,” coach Chris Collins said. “When we have good looks, we’re a good shooting team.” McIntosh, who also tallied 14 on the night, found himself with a pair of early 3s, and when his scoring dried up toward the end of the opening half, he and senior center Alex Olah — who totaled 11 points and 9 rebounds — found a rhythm that propelled NU’s lead into the break, 33-26. But the Buckeyes entered the second half with added energy after McIntosh opened again with a pair of scores from beyond the arc. A 7-0 Ohio State run, ended by 5-straight points from sophomore guard Scottie Lindsey was later followed by an 8-0 run that brought the Buckeyes within 1. “We were forcing them to take the shots we wanted them to take, we were taking their shooters out, we were guarding pretty good,” Demps said. “I think in the second half they just started driving us more… and I think that gave them a lot of confidence.” Soon after, a 3 from junior Marc Loving and an NU half-court violation — brought about by the defensive pressure that characterized Ohio State’s second-half effort
and helped force 14 NU turnovers — set up a jumper from sophomore Keita Bates-Diop that gave the Buckeyes their first lead since the opening minutes. Even as NU continued to find success from deep as Demps and Lindsey both made late 3s to keep the visitors alive, turnovers brought about by Ohio State’s zone press killed any chance of the Cats leaving Columbus with their first win since 1977. “We just never stopped the bleeding,” Demps said. “You need to go on a run yourself, you’ve got to follow their run with a run of your own. And we would make a basket here and there, but overall, they were scoring 6 points to our 2 points and that added up.” After watching a winnable contest slip through their fingers, the Cats are learning that even with shots falling, consistency elsewhere is needed to emerge victorious. “When you have a chance like that to steal game on the road in this league, you’ve got to finish the deal,” Collins said. “And we weren’t able to do that.” garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

NU heads east on short rest By COLE PAXTON
the daily northwestern @ckpaxton
Fourth quarters seem to be decisive for Northwestern. Ahead of Wednesday’s game at Rutgers (14-10, 5-7 Big Ten), the Wildcats (14-10, 3-9) are 2-1 in Big Ten games in which they win the fourth quarter and just 1-8 when being outscored in the final period. That one win was against then-No. 5 Ohio State, a game the Cats led by 18 at halftime but held on to win by only 4. “A lot of it is going to come down to being mentally tough in the end, being disciplined, stay in our stance, do the little things to close out the game,” junior guard Ashley Deary said. “We made some little mistakes that kind of cost us the game against Minnesota.” In Sunday’s 112-106 double-overtime loss to Minnesota (16-7, 8-4), the Cats failed to hold a 6-point lead with 2:11 left in regulation and couldn’t close out the Gophers in the first overtime despite leading by 5 with 42 seconds to play. Meanwhile, the Scarlet Knights and NU have eerily similar fourth quarter numbers. Rutgers has won the final period in four of its five Big Ten victories, and in losses, has been outscored five-of-seven times. Junior forward Nia Coffey said she believes focus will be key for the Cats to close out games more strongly. “We (need to) contain the ball, rebound, just make sure that we’re really smart with our possessions and take good shots,” Coffey said. NU is looking not only to finish strong against Rutgers, but also through the rest of the Big Ten season, coach Joe McKeown said.

the 14-team Big Ten. Possessing an RPI of 85 as of Tuesday and losing 10 games through early February, NU will very likely need to win the Big Ten Tournament to return to the NCAA Tournament this year. McKeown said he is more concerned with the Cats’ play than anything else.
“We’ve talked a lot about getting better, building our momentum into March,” McKeown said. “We’ve really talked about that rather than winning games. We’re young. As hard a game as it was (Sunday), we did a lot of great things too.” NU had several strong performances on Sunday: Senior guard Maggie Lyon tied her season-high with 31 points, the Cats had five players reach » See SHORT REST, page 7

Buckeye press key in Wildcats’ defeat By MAX SCHUMAN
daily senior staffer
With Northwestern riding high and holding a 48-39 lead with a little more than 10 minutes to go against Ohio State, the Buckeyes settled into a twothirds-court press, hoping to force the Wildcats into turnovers that could fuel a comeback. Six NU turnovers and a game-ending 32-15 Ohio State run later, the Cats (169, 4-8) were left searching for answers to opposing pressure after a disheartening 71-63 loss in Columbus. NU ran out to a 33-26 lead after the first half despite eight turnovers, limiting damage by preventing easy fastbreak baskets off live-ball turnovers. But it was only a matter of time before the long, athletic Buckeyes (15-10, 7-5) found their stride and turned defense into offense, with the dam finally breaking in the second half. Coach Chris Collins said Ohio State’s move to a press led to the game slipping away from his team. “We had some critical turnovers; I thought (the press) sped us up a little bit,” Collins said. “(It) ignited their crowd and got them going.” First, senior guard Tre Demps turned the ball over on two straight possessions, turning into a quick floater in transition for Buckeyes forward Keita Bates-Diop and a breakaway dunk for Buckeyes guard JaQuan Lyle that cut the Cats’ lead to 48-47 with 8 minutes and 33 seconds left to play and forced Collins to call a timeout. Demps had the dubious honor of leading the Cats in turnovers against the Buckeyes with
four. On top of struggles with ball security, NU’s initial attempts to break Ohio State’s 1-2-2 press seemed odd, with the team stationing sophomore forward Gavin Skelly in the backcourt as an outlet for sophomore guard Bryant McIntosh instead of a more seasoned ball-handler. Demps said the decision was an intentional attempt to give him a chance to make plays against a scrambled defense once the press was broken. But the move bit the Cats with 8 minutes and 22 seconds remaining, as Skelly dribbled into trouble and had a crosscourt pass stolen by Buckeyes guard Kam Williams, although Ohio State failed to capitalize on the ensuing possession. Collins said NU knew Ohio State had the press up its sleeve and had prepared for it, but said execution in a game atmosphere is different than in practice. “Preparing for their length and their size and the game pressure with the crowd is different than doing it in practice,” he said. “That’s where you’ve got to be strong with the ball, got to want the ball.” Things didn’t get better when Demps replaced Skelly as the release valve in the backcourt. About 2 minutes after the Skelly turnover, Demps failed to clear the halfcourt line, resulting in a 10-second violation. And with 4 minutes and 17 seconds left, the senior fired a pass upcourt, out of the reach of sophomore guard Scottie Lindsey and into the courtside seats. Demps took responsibility for his mistakes after the game and said the » See PRESS, page 7
