IN HIS HONOR John Thumel, a McCormick senior, died in July after suffering injuries in a car crash. The crash occurred in Texas, where Thumel was working as an engineering intern.

Funds raised to honor Thumel By PAIGE LESKIN

A scholarship for members of Sigma Chi fraternity is in the works following the death of member John Thumel in July. Representatives from the Sigma Chi Foundation, 1714 Hinman Ave., Thumel’s family and Sigma Chi’s Northwestern chapter are collaborating on a $1000-a-year scholarship in memory of the McCormick senior. Thumel died from injuries sustained in a July 24 car crash in south Texas. The scholarship is being created to honor Thumel and “keep John’s name alive for years to come,” said Tom Van Winkle, the foundation’s associate director of development. He said $25,000 has to

be raised to endow the scholarship before it can be awarded in the spring. So far, $20,000 has already been donated, said Communication senior Dan Rufolo, a friend of Thumel and a member of Sigma Chi. Rufolo is one of five students who, along with Thumel’s father Mike Thumel, serve on the board of directors for the scholarship. In regular meetings every other week, the team has worked to solidify the principles that applying Sigma Chi members should have. The tentative requirements include both academic criteria — such as being a science, technology, engineering or mathematics major and having at least a 3.0 GPA — and devotion to the “3 F’s:” friends, family and faith, Rufolo said. “My wife and I are overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness of the fraternity and

the speed at which they (established) it,” Mike Thumel said. “It’s more of a testament of who my son was. He could do good even in death.” Mike Thumel said he continues to hear new stories about Thumel’s compassion and humor, which assures him that his son “did things right.” To raise the funds, Sigma Chi members and Thumel’s family have reached out to relatives, friends and NU Sigma Chi alumni. The board is also looking into holding a fundraiser at Bat 17 in late fall or early winter — hockey-themed to commemorate Thumel’s love for the Chicago Blackhawks and the sport. Although the scholarship will not go into effect until the full $25,000 is raised, Rufolo and the board already have their » See THUMEL, page 13

After nearly three months without a state budget, the Illinois government is forecasting a growing pile of unpaid bills that will impact the ability of human services agencies to deliver care to vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. There have been a variety of legal and legislative avenues keeping the state government running without a budget since July 1 — including court orders, consent decrees and continuing appropriations freeing funds to pay about 90 percent of the state’s bills, Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger said at a press conference earlier this month. However, without an agreement between the General Assembly and Gov. Bruce Rauner, the backlog of bills will exceed $8.5 billion by the end of December, Munger said. Without state payments, many social services agencies in the state will end up depleting their cash reserves by the end of the year, said Jack Kaplan, director of public policy and advocacy at United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. As a result, those agencies are facing cuts to staff and services, Kaplan said. “Starting in September and October, you’re really starting to see a threat to the capacity of a lot of providers to operate at the same level they have been,” he said. In a survey administered to social service providers in mid-July by UWMC, a nonprofit that provides financial support for local organizations, one third of more

than 400 respondents reported that they had already cut the number of clients they serve. In Evanston, the impact of the state budget crisis on human services providers depends largely on the portion of the organization’s own budget that is supported by the state. Youth and Opportunity United, which receives 3 percent of its funding from the state, has been able to avoid services reductions entirely, said YOU’s executive director Seth Green. But Shore Community Services — which is 70 percent state-funded — has been at risk of major programming cuts, said Johanna Garsenstein, the organization’s director of administrative services. During the past few months, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz has been working to secure Evanston’s own financial future by introducing remedies such as fee increases for residents and a furlough day for city employees. Since the beginning of July, Bobkiewicz said Evanston human services providers have sought alternatives to replace missing state funds through private donors and lines of credit. “They have begged, borrowed and done what they’ve needed to do to keep their doors open,” Bobkiewicz said. “My sense is that their ability to do that is coming to an end.” In the past few months, Andrea Densham, executive director of Childcare Network of Evanston, said she has seen a ripple effect of eligibility cuts to the state’s Child Care Assistance Program.

Elder lunch cut, sales tax added in dining hall changes By EMILY CHIN

daily senior staffer @emchin24

Students will no longer be able to eat lunch at Elder Dining Hall and those without a meal plan will be charged a sales tax at dining halls as part of Northwestern Dining changes this year. After feedback from a survey Spring Quarter, NU Dining decided to eliminate lunch at Elder and replace it with Late Night Dining, available using a non-equivalency meal swipe. This decision, made late June, is because students do not have time to walk up to Elder for lunch

Evanston man dies 3 days after shooting

The 45-year-old man who was shot in central Evanston earlier this week died Friday afternoon from a gunshot wound to his head, police said. Cesario Cox Sr., an Evanston resident, was shot Tuesday at about 5:20 p.m. while on the back porch of a

during the day, said Rachel Tilghman, director of communications and engagement for Sodexo. Communication sophomore Julianne Lang, who was a Sodexo marketing intern last year, said Sodexo was noticing people did not like Elder and wanted to change it. She said she believes serving late-night at Elder will be popular among students. “I lived in Willard last year and I really loved being able to go to Fran’s late at night,” she said. “I think Elder will be just as successful,” she said. Those on a meal plan who pay for all or part of their meal using a meal swipe, equivalency meals, points or Cat Cash do not have to pay the 9

percent sales tax, which took effect Sept. 1. Previously, all purchases at NU Dining locations were tax free. NU Dining made the change to match Illinois tax laws and billing procedures, Tilghman said. “It would make us be in compliance with what every other business does,” said Ken Field, director of dining. “We are open to the public and we are competing with other businesses. … It’s just good businesses practices and we want to make sure we are operating with integrity and paying our fair share to the state.”

house in the 1900 block of Emerson Street, a block away from Evanston Township High School, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. Cox was with several other individuals when four men approached through an alley and opened fire, Dugan said. Cox died in Evanston Hospital. This is the third homicide in Evanston this year. Investigators do not believe Cox was the intended target of the shooting, which may be in retaliation to a gun-related homicide in north

Evanston on Aug. 31, Dugan said. Police have found that multiple individuals who were with Cox at the time of the shooting are linked to a gang opposing the one allegedly involved in the Aug. 31 incident, he said. “The most likely assumption is that they were targeting those individuals,” Dugan said. The residence targeted in Tuesday’s shooting was also the location of shots fired in the early hours of Sept. 1, Dugan said. An officer heard

several gunshots in the area at about 1:40 a.m. but found nothing on the scene, he said. At about 10:30 a.m., a resident of the 1900 block of Emerson Street reported to police that she had found bullets inside her vehicle. In response to the trend of gunrelated crimes following the Aug. 31 shooting, the Evanston Police Department has implemented a program aimed at reducing violence in Evanston, particularly in the locations of shots fired reports, Dugan said.

Starting this past week, two officers have been deployed each day to those hotspots with the intention of recovering firearms. The officers are tasked with using tips from confidential informants and social media to locate offenders and conduct investigative stops. To address community concern, police will also visit the affected areas — including schools, businesses and parks — to discuss gun violence in the city. — Julia Jacobs

Evanston ambulance fees increase By JULIA JACOBS

daily senior staffer @juliarebeccaj

Evanston residents will be charged an additional $150 if they require emergency ambulance services starting Oct. 1. Aldermen voted Tuesday to increase the price of Evanston’s ambulance service amid continued uncertainty over next year’s state funding. For a city resident requiring basic life support while in the ambulance, the price will increase from $362 to $512 — not including the transport cost, which will increase to $10 per mile from $7 per mile. For non-residents, who already paid more for the city’s ambulance service, basic life support will cost $700 — a $200 increase. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz originally introduced the fee hike among other potential solutions in

New CFO to take helm of ETHS, District 202

Mary Rodino will be the new chief financial officer of Evanston Township High School and District 202, following the retirement of longtime CFO William Stafford, the district announced Wednesday. Superintendent Eric Witherspoon appointed Rodino at Tuesday’s board of education meeting. She has served as ETHS’ deputy Chief Financial Officer since 2007. Before joining ETHS’ financial team, Rodino worked as the interim finance director for the city.

”

mid-July, when the state lacked a budget more than two weeks into fiscal year 2016. Since the fees were last set nearly six years ago, the price of Evanston’s ambulance service has fallen below average rates among neighboring municipalities, Evanston Fire Chief Greg Klaiber wrote in a memo to aldermen. Evanston’s price has also fallen below the amount Medicare will reimburse, a figure the city uses as a benchmark because it accepts Medicare payments, Klaiber said. Ald. Jane Grover (7th) said she believes most residents’ insurance will cover the fee hike. The increase puts Evanston in the middle of the expense range among neighboring cities, some of which she said have high enough rates that people pay a portion of the cost out of pocket. “We hope that, at least in Evanston, if you need ambulance service and you are qualified that you would get covered for the service,” Grover told The Daily.

The city estimates the fee increase will generate an additional $200,000 for Evanston each year. In another effort to preserve city funds, next week aldermen will consider increasing fines for parking violations and penalties for late payments by $5 each. If approved, the ordinance would increase parking fees for violations such as parking in a city-owned lot without a permit or parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant — an infraction that would cost an individual $50 instead of $45 with the modified ordinance. Apart from preemptively balancing state funding cuts, Bobkiewicz and his staff proposed the moneysaving measures to reduce the 2015 budget shortfall predicted for the end of the year. The city is also considering financial remedies that affect local government employees, including a hiring freeze and a furlough day in December.

reading and science. The composite score, which takes the average of the four subset scores, was 23.9, also the highest in ETHS history, the school announced. The ACT is scored on a scale of 1 to 36. The average ACT composite score in Illinois is 20.7, just below the national composite average of 21. “I am so proud of our students for their commitment to learning, for their notable achievements,” District 202 superintendent Eric Witherspoon said

in a news release. “I am so thankful for our teachers and staff who have high expectations for all our students and who support all students in getting an outstanding ETHS education.” ETHS last posted all-time high scores in 2009 and 2010, when the average composite score for newlygraduated seniors was 23.5.

The board unanimously approved Witherspoon’s recommendation Wednesday. “Mary Rodino is an accomplished finance official,” Witherspoon said in a news release. “Her experience and expertise will be valuable for our district as we work through the financial challenges created by the state.” In her time as deputy CFO, Rodino has led the district’s annual audits and managed cash, banking programs and investments for ETHS. Stafford will continue to serve as the district’s CFO through the 2015-16 school year, during which Rodino will work closely with him to help ease the transition, the district said. Rodino will officially

take over on July 1 of next year. After eight years as Evanston’s finance director, Stafford joined ETHS in 2006. For the past decade, he has overseen the school’s finances with special consideration for the impact of budgetary decisions on student life, Witherspoon told the Daily in August shortly after Stafford’s retirement announcement. “To me, Bill has just been an extraordinary chief financial officer because of his ability and true personal embracing of the mission of educating students,” Witherspoon said.

Author George R. R. Martin to speak on campus in November

Author George R. R. Martin (Medill ‘70, ‘71) will speak at Northwestern on Nov. 4 after accepting the Medill Hall of Achievement award. The Hall of Achievement is the school’s highest honor and recognizes Medill alumni whose careers have had a positive impact on their fields. Martin was one of seven alumni honored May 14 at a ceremony at the Chicago History Museum. Beth Moellers, who manages special projects at Medill, said Martin was unable to attend the reception in May and was invited to NU this fall. The recipients of the Hall of Achievement honor are the most distinguished alumni in their respective fields, she added. “It’s a way to say we are proud of the work that they have done,” Moellers said. Martin has received multiple Hugo, Locus and Nebula awards, which honor science fiction and fantasy writing, and is internationally known for his fantasy series, “A Song of Ice and Fire,” which was adapted into HBO’s television series, “Game of Thrones.” He also works as a co-executive producer of “Game of Thrones” and has written one episode for each of the show’s first four seasons. Martin’s visit to NU will include a private ceremony for the Hall of Achievement honors,

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, George R. R. Martin win big at Emmys

Northwestern alumni triumphed at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night, highlighted by wins for George R.R. Martin’s “Game of Thrones” series and Julia Louis-Dreyfus for her role in “Veep.” “Game of Thrones” shattered records, taking home a total of 12 awards — the most ever received in a single year. Martin (Medill ‘70, ‘71) joined the rest of the cast Sunday night to receive the show’s first win for the outstanding drama series, passing over shows “Mad Men,” “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black.” “Game of Thrones” also snagged Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. Martin, who will be visiting NU this quarter, is also the co-executive producer and has written 60 of the HBO show’s episodes from 2011-2016. In total, the show had 24 nominations this year, and with 26 total Emmy awards after Sunday night, the medieval fantasy series is tied with “The West Wing” and “Hill Street Blues” for the most wins of any drama show. Hosted by actor Andy Samberg, the awards show in Los Angeles also led to wins for other notable alumni. Louis-Dreyfus (Communication ‘83) once again accepted her award for Outstanding Lead

Actress in a Comedy Series. The “Veep” actress beat out Lisa Kudrow, Amy Poehler and Amy Schumer to take home her sixth Emmy award. The actress also took a quick jab at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during her acceptance speech. “I think it would be appropriate at this moment to quote our American politics show. ‘What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight.’ No, wait, no, I’m so sorry, Donald Trump said that,” Louis-Dreyfus said. Other nominees included Stephen Colbert (Communication ‘86), who ended the final season of his satirical pundit show, “The Colbert Report,” last December. The comedy show received 41 nominations and won six throughout its run, although Sunday night “The Daily Show” took home the award for its final year with host Jon Stewart. Seth Meyers (Communication ‘96) received two nominations for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, one for the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards. Other nominees included actor Denis O’Hare (Communication ‘84) for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or a Movie in “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” actor Billy Eichner (Communication ‘00) for Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program in “Billy on the Street with First Lady Michelle Obama,” and Jill Leiderman (Communication ‘93) — executive producer of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” — for Outstanding Variety Talk Series.

Donating to elite universities — enough is enough WILLIAM KIRKLAND

DAILY COLUMNIST

They say you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you, but in this case I think we’ve been fed plenty. Wealthy Americans donate way too much money to prestigious private colleges and universities. As a student at one of these schools, I am the direct beneficiary of this giving. In the coming year, for example, I will benefit from the resources of the Buffett Institute, named in honor of the unprecedented $100 million gift Roberta Buffett gave Northwestern last spring. But there are far better ways for rich people to spend their money. We should encourage other forms of philanthropy that offer more tangible benefits to more needy beneficiaries. In a time of growing wealth and opportunity inequalities, disastrous public health crises around the world and devastating budget cuts at public universities in the United States, donating to schools like NU is not the kind of philanthropy we should celebrate. It is not the moral equivalent of giving to NGOs that house and

feed refugees across the world, or even capitalizing under-funded public universities in our own backyards. And yet, both the federal tax code and the mass media see them equally beneficial and morally laudable. Instead, we should call this philanthropy what it is. Although certainly better than just sitting on piles of cash or building a new wing for the mansion, it is, in the end, a comparatively shallow form of philanthropy with outsized personal benefit to the benefactor and oversold gains to society as a presumptive beneficiary. These schools do not need the money. Donations in this country overwhelmingly flow to the colleges and universities that make up the 1 percent of higher education. This group is already fantastically wealthy, with individual endowments outgrowing the GDPs of small countries (Harvard, with nearly $40 billion in the bank, recently beat out Jordan and is quickly gaining on Ghana). And the gulf between the 1 percent and the rest grows wider every year as the monied class continues to donate selectively. Of the roughly 4,700 colleges and universities in the U.S., the top 40 schools together claim 59 percent of all donations. NU itself raised more than $600 million last year, the fourth highest total of any school in the country.

Much of this money comes from really, really rich people. Earlier this summer, Harvard made headlines when it announced a $400 million donation from hedge fund manager John Paulson for a new engineering and applied sciences center in his name. Critics like Malcolm Gladwell were quick to highlight the ridiculousness of announcing these gifts as “charity”. He joked on Twitter, “apparently $200 mil is earmarked for a satellite campus on St. Barts.” Harvard, like NU, already has more money than it can spend. And 95 percent of it just sits there, compounding. One fund manager recently quipped, “the joke about Harvard is that it’s a hedge fund with a university attached to it.” Can you imagine what could be done if that comment referred instead to organizations directly devoted to, say, reducing global poverty? Or fighting the HIV pandemic in Swaziland, where one in four adults is living with the virus? Or, if higher education really is your hobbyhorse, why not donate to the University of Wisconsin, which, thanks to Scott Walker, faces a $300 million budget cut? Or the state university system in Arizona, which has seen tuition rates skyrocket 83.6 percent in seven years? Inevitably, when the argument is made

against giving rich schools more money, proponents counter that these schools represent a public good that benefits everyone. They point to groundbreaking biomedical research or the financial aid programs that change the lives of low-income students. These are valid claims. But when it comes down to it, the added value that comes with each dollar given to Harvard pales in comparison to the added value that comes with each vaccine, or each actual dollar given directly to the world’s poor. Prestigious private universities are “crowded” funding spaces, where thousands of rich people line up to write the next check. Every new donation only grows the widening gap that separates the world’s privileged from the rest. If you’re a rich person who wants to make a difference, donate your money where it truly matters. If you’re a student, help try to change the narrative that showers praise on higher education philanthropy. Not all charity is created equal, so let’s stop subsidizing the most unequal of the bunch.

Vaccination science cannot be compromised by politics SAI FOLMSBEE

DAILY COLUMNIST

During last week’s CNN debate, the Republican presidential candidates discussed a number of controversial topics, from illegal immigration to the Iran Deal. However, buried within the standard conservative talking points, the question of vaccination and autism arose. Despite two of the candidates, Rand Paul and Ben Carson, having medical degrees, no one appeared to understand or defend the true scientific research. The fact that vaccinations have no link to autism seemed entirely lost. In their attempt to build a compromise between science and politics, they managed to lose the value of both. To his credit, during the debate Dr. Carson did say that there is “extremely well-documented proof that there’s no autism associated with vaccinations.” However, when pressed by Donald Trump, he conceded that “it is true that we are probably giving way too many in too short a period of time.”

This, of course, is nonsense. There is no evidence to suggest that the vaccine schedule needs any change at all. In fact, there is good evidence that delaying vaccines may actually make infants more likely to acquire preventable diseases like measles. The worst part was, however, that there was an apparent consensus among the candidates on stage that the vaccination schedule needed to be changed. Not one among them, not even the two physicians, were willing to adhere to the evidence. Even stranger, none appeared concerned that they were giving forceful statements on standardized systems for the practice of healthcare. Would we ask senators for recommendations for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma? Why do presidential candidates think they need to micromanage healthcare? Instead, there should be an honest discussion of solely policy, since the science is settled. As such, beyond changing the vaccine schedule itself, several of the Republicans also mentioned that children should be allowed to opt out for non-medical reasons. Of course, this idea is potentially harmful for the child, dangerous for the public at large and entirely unnecessary. But at least it lies within the realm of public policy and is worth discussing. For instance, there can be a clear, policy-driven

argument made in favor of mandatory vaccination based on the notion that children need to be protected from poor decision making from their parents. But instead of discussing these issues in these terms, of individual liberties and the rights of parents over their children, the clear, scientific evidence is called into question. The real problem is they are blurring the boundary between politics and science, between values and truth. We should not forget that even President Obama is guilty of this. During his 2008 presidential race, he was questioned about his stance on the vaccination-autism controversy. He replied that “The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it.” At the same time, Hillary Clinton stated “I am committed to make investments to find the causes of autism, including possible environmental causes like vaccines.” Now both Obama and Clinton are resolute in defending the value of vaccination. Obama recently stated that “the science is, you know, pretty indisputable” during an interview on the “Today” show this year, and Clinton now supports universal vaccination. But at the time, it was easy for even Democrats to fall for the trap of vague scientific concessions. So why do both Democrats and Republicans both struggle with science? The answer lies in the

inherent, compromise-focused nature of politics. Virtually every major policy achievement rests on the ability for two competing sides to find some shared compromise. The Affordable Care Act could not have passed without certain concessions on both Democratic and Republican sides. When controversy arises, politicians use compromise as a tool to simultaneously demonstrate humility and flexibility, while also effectively maintaining their original stance and allowing for progress. However, science cannot be compromised. Ideally, politicians should be comfortable understanding that science is science, and politics is politics. But when these do clash, it is so much easier to just imply some sort of compromise, regardless of the facts. Perhaps this approach is appealing to voters, since many do not consider science a priority. But when policy-makers attempt to compromise science, they discard its entire value, resulting in an insult to both the scientists’ work and the public that depends on it.

What students can learn from the Syrian migrant crisis MEGAN ANGELL

DAILY COLUMNIST

I was here first. We have all claimed and heard this at one time or another — as children playing with a toy, as students registering for classes, as people waiting in line for food. Yet “first” should not always make us more deserving than anyone else. As the White House proposes increasing the number of Syrian refugees who can immigrate to the United States, we all must question whether living in the United States first gives us the right to be here more than anyone else. Whether we happen to come from the Chicago suburbs or Shanghai, we are all lucky to have the chance to attend school in the U.S. and at NU. We all worked hard, but none of us got here alone or without a bit of luck. Knowing this, we cannot deny others an opportunity simply because of partisan politics or apathy toward the crisis. As White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained, the new plan, if approved, will accept 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next year. Although 10,000 is small in comparison to the 4 million people who have fled Syria and refugees who apply today can still face a two-year wait, the plan marks the first significant action the

U.S. has taken in this area. As the plan is debated, practical considerations cannot be ignored: security checks, time needed to screen and treat diseases, difficulties of accepting a potentially limitless flow of immigrants. However, we can change our attitude; we can search for ways to admit more refugees instead of reasons not to do so. Then, we as a country may have the motivation to avoid partisan gridlock in changing policy, to reduce the bureaucratic “red tape” in the application process and to help immigrants transition to life in the U.S. As part of a university that includes students and faculty from around the world, it is important for us to understand and empathize with the challenges these migrants face. We know firsthand the benefits of having diverse perspectives in all aspects of life. When considering an influx of immigrants, competition for jobs is often a concern for students searching for part-time jobs or who are concerned about starting careers after graduation. Indeed, the Syrian Civil War displaced people with all levels of education in all fields who will be applying for jobs here. However, we have no right to deny the opportunity to work for those who were forced to leave their countries. As students, advancement based on merit is crucial. Excluding other candidates to obtain jobs clearly violates this principle. Promoting equal opportunity on campus means little if we fail to extend that attitude to the outside world. At a time when we struggle to find answers to

legal and illegal immigration from south of our borders, allowing and even encouraging refugees from Syria may appear unfair. Cartel violence, poverty and the political instability in Mexico and South American nations are serious reasons to immigrate, even if some of these migrants do not qualify as refugees under the United Nation’s definition. From another perspective, however, as student activists, we cannot advocate for true “immigration reform” if we address immigration

from the Americas and ignore those fleeing the war zone in Syria. Megan Angell is a Weinberg freshman. She can be reached at meganangell2019@u.northwestern.edu.

Evanston aldermen pave way for ‘green’ day care By JULIA JACOBS

daily senior staffer @juliarebeccaj

Aldermen approved Tuesday a permit for a new environmentally-conscious day care center to renovate an existing building on Central Street. The City Council voted unanimously to welcome Chicago-based preschool Little Green Tree House to claim space in the city despite earlier

concerns for a lack of parking. The day care center, which will soon have three Chicago locations, focuses on sustainability through practices such as using cloth diapers, serving organic meals and using wooden toys. Ald. Jane Grover (7th) said at the last council meeting that the north Evanston space would be a fitting location considering a dearth of other day care services in the area. The aldermen granted the permit with the expectation that the day care center, which will

be able to serve up to 130 children, purchase several extra parking spaces for employees nearby the building. “The staff really did work to make sure that the parking issue was resolved,” Ald. Delores Holmes (5th) told The Daily. “That seemed to be the only issue — it seemed to be outstanding.” After initially being denied a permit in June, the center proposed adding 11 employee parking spaces in a nearby lot to the nine included on the property. The center will also pay for five

parking spaces on the street near the building that parents will use for dropping off and picking up their children. Ald. Brian Miller (9th) said at the Aug. 31 council meeting that the building’s close proximity to public transportation — with Metra and Chicago Transit Authority stations less than two miles away — also supported the center’s case for the special use permit. juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu

NLRB declines to rule on NU union, squashing effort By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutterman

A version of this story was published Aug. 17 on The Daily Northwestern’s website. The National Labor Relations Board on Aug. 17 unanimously decided not to rule in the Northwestern union case, ending the 18-month long movement for NU football players to unionize. The board did not actively overturn the March 2014 ruling from the NLRB’s Chicago regional director that the players were NU employees but declined jurisdiction, citing the impact an NU union would have on the NCAA as a whole. “Asserting jurisdiction would not promote labor stability due to the nature and structure of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS),” the NLRB said in a news release. “By statute the Board does not have jurisdiction over state-run colleges and universities, which constitute 108 of the roughly 125 FBS teams.” Because the Wildcats’ players are no longer legally employees, the votes cast during their union election last April will not be counted. The decision cannot be appealed. Former NU quarterback Kain Colter, who spearheaded the union movement, tweeted that he was “Disappointed by the NLRB ruling. But can’t deny the positive changes that were brought

about by athletes standing up. Proud of those guys.” If the prior ruling had been upheld, the NU players would have formed a union as the College Athlete Players Association. CAPA president Ramogi Huma said in a statement that Monday’s decision was “not a loss, but it is a loss of time,” pointing out that the board did not close the door on the union as a mechanism for change in college sports. “It delays players securing the leverage they need to protect themselves from traumatic brain injury, sports-related medical expenses, and other gaps in protections,” Huma said in a statement. United Steelworkers political director Tim Waters, who backed the union since its inception in January 2014, said the ruling was “just one hill to climb.” “It’s very hard for athletes to take a stand at a place like Northwestern,” Waters told The Daily. “We applaud them for the fight that they made. We applaud Kain Colter. It’s not the first setback athletes have ever had.” Waters said he was disappointed in the NLRB’s ruling, which came more than a year after the regional director’s initial decision. “It looks like the NLRB tried to hit the snooze button on this one,” Waters said. “The ruling right now seems to say they think the NCAA is too big to fail or something.” In a statement, NU spokesman Al Cubbage said the University was “pleased” with the ruling.

“As the University has stated previously, Northwestern considers its students who participate in NCAA Division I sports, including those who receive athletic scholarships, to be students, first and foremost,” Cubbage said in the statement. “We applaud our players for bringing national attention to these important issues, but we believe strongly that unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student-athletes.” NU football coach Pat Fitzgerald, who has been critical of the union movement in the past, praised the players for their maturity. “Our young men chose to attend Northwestern to compete on the field at the highest level, earn a world-class education and prepare for the rest of their lives,” Fitzgerald said in a statement. “They have displayed maturity beyond their years through this process, and the experience has unquestionably brought us closer together as a football family.” Athletic director Jim Phillips, who is also chairman of the NCAA Division I Council, said in a statement the University will continue to prioritize player well-being. “Our focus is, was, and will continue to be on delivering a world-class experience — academically, socially and athletically — every day for each of our 494 student–athletes,” Phillips said in the statement. “Both locally at Northwestern, and broadly as chairman of the NCAA Division I Council, it has been remarkable over the last

several years to witness the rapid evolution of college athletics with student-athlete well-being as the top priority.” The union movement began in January 2014, when former quarterback Kain Colter and college athletes’ rights activist Ramogi Huma announced the players’ desire to form the College Athletes Players Association. CAPA’s stated goals included improving health coverage for players, securing guaranteed scholarships and receiving compensation for the full cost of college attendance. After six days of hearings the next month, the NLRB’s Chicago office decided in favor of CAPA, ruling on March 26, 2014 that the players are NU employees. The University filed an appeal to the NLRB’s national office on April 9, which prompted Monday’s decision. The board in its ruling made clear that “This decision is narrowly focused to apply only to the players in this case and does not preclude reconsideration of this issue in the future,” leaving the door open for another school — or potentially even NU again — to pursue unionization. Waters said United Steelworkers will “without question” participate in similar cases relating to college sports in the future. “The Northwestern players weren’t the only players out there looking to organize,” Waters said. asputt@u.northwestern.edu

NU halts reorganization of Black House spaces By JULIA JACOBS

daily senior staffer @juliarebeccaj

A version of this story was published Aug. 24 on The Daily Northwestern’s website. In response to opposition from students and alumni, Northwestern has postponed moving administrative offices into the Black House and the Multicultural Center, a decision that would have forced several student groups to share spaces. The University announced the postponement Aug. 23. Administrators had planned to move Campus Inclusion and Community staff offices into the two buildings this fall as part of a department restructuring, reducing the number of available rooms for student groups, according to an email sent Aug. 21 to a Multicultural Student Affairs email list. For Members Only, the Asian Pacific American Coalition, the Muslim-cultural Students Association, Alianza and several other student groups would have been affected. The announcement quickly prompted responses from students and alumni seeking to preserve the Black House as a haven for black students. Soon after the Aug. 21 morning announcement, the NU Black Alumni Association organized a conference call including MSA director Charles Kellom that drew nearly 200 students and alumni and lasted about three hours. Callers said they had not been consulted about potential changes to the Black House, which has served as a center of black student life for generations, NUBAA president Dr. Jeffrey Sterling said. “It would have been much more preferable if the students and/or alumni had been brought into the conversation at the beginning so that a collaborative solution could have been forged,” Sterling (Weinberg ’85) told The Daily. In response, Patricia Telles-Irvin, the vice president for student affairs, suspended the move and said the University will schedule four discussions during Fall Quarter to collect student and alumni feedback on the proposed changes. She will also form a Black House Facilities Review Committee to draft a recommendation based on the meetings, she said in a statement. The office reshuffle was meant to reflect structural

changes to CIC effective Sept. 1, elevating CIC as the umbrella organization encompassing MSA, Student Enrichment Services and the newest department, Social Justice Education. The original changes would have moved some CIC offices to the Black House from Scott Hall, Kellom wrote in the Aug. 21 email. Student recreation space in the Black House, including a TV lounge and computer lab, would be concentrated on the first floor, he said. All MSA administrators would be housed in the MCC, allowing the staff to operate under one roof, Kellom said. The changes would require several student groups to share rooms — including FMO and One Step Before in the Black House, and APAC and McSA in MCC. The African Students Association and Northwestern Community Ensemble would also combine into one office in the Black House. Alianza and the South Asian Student Alliance, which currently share an MCC office, would be moved to the third floor. “We know this is a shift, but it was the best way to allow the MSA staff to begin to collaborate and focus on intersectionality in more meaningful ways,” Kellom said in the email. “While we would have preferred to engage with you about these changes when you returned to campus, we needed to move forward with this plan immediately for financial reasons and to address staff office needs.” Bisola Sosan, who served on the executive boards of ASA and APAC last year, said she worries these changes would allow administrators to monitor students who meet at the Black House to plan demonstrations or protests. Sosan, who listened to part of the conference call on Aug. 21, said although the University intends the changes to facilitate communication between CIC and students, she believes the department — which is meant to represent the entire student population — should not move into the Black House. “It feels like that space is being taken away,” Sosan (Weinberg ’15) said. “It feels like that history is being compromised.” Sterling said during his time at NU the house served as a space for students from inner cities or disadvantaged populations to acclimate to the University environment. NU established the Black House in 1968 to end the sit-in at the Bursar’s Office in which students demanded an African-American studies program

Jerry Lee/Daily Senior Staffer

MEANINGFUL SPACE The Black House has been a gathering place for black students at Northwestern since the early 1970s. The University suspended a plan in August to reorganize the space to add staff offices following objections from students and alumni.

and a gathering space for black students on campus. Jeanne Hou, internal president of APAC, said consolidating spaces for students of color to make room for administrators implies multicultural groups can be “lumped together.” “We understand that space is limited on campus,” Hou, a rising SESP senior, wrote in an email to The Daily. “But to take away what little space there is already designated for the students of color at Northwestern is relaying a message of continued discomfort for students of color.” The three departments under CIC are meant to address different facets of campus inclusion: MSA provides programs enhancing students’ cultural experience, SES works with low-income and firstgeneration students and SJE focuses on academic programs.

With the new model, administrators intend to enhance programming that highlights intersectionality, better fulfilling the needs of students who expressed feelings of exclusion in a 2014 MSA survey. Sterling said although NUBAA appreciates the University’s intent, which was clarified in the conference call on Aug. 21, it seems counterintuitive to use an approach that shrinks a central environment for African-American students. “There is a fear that, as those services are allocated under the banner of Multicultural Student Affairs, less attention will be given to African-American students, even as African-American students still suffer disproportionately to the general population,” Sterling said. juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu

Policy gives alcohol amnesty By JULIA JACOBS

daily senior staffer @juliarebeccaj

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2015

Celebrate & TAILGATE

A version of this story was published Aug. 20 on The Daily Northwestern’s website. Students who have emergency assistance called to help them while they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be officially granted amnesty from disciplinary action starting this fall under the conditions of the University’s newly revamped policy. The administration has added a statement to what was formerly called the Responsible Action Protocol clarifying that both students who make the emergency call and those for whom the call is made will not be disciplined. Changes to the policy’s language — now called Amnesty through Responsible Action — were spurred by student and staff feedback that the rules lacked clarity, said Dean of Students Todd Adams. “The ambiguity leads to rumors that we think are deterrents to people taking action,” said Associated Student Government president Noah Star, a rising Weinberg senior who backed the policy changes when he assumed office in April. “The only facts you should have to consider are what is the best interest of this person.” While intoxicated students who required emergency assistance were often granted immunity in the past, the ARA standardizes the protocol and will be widely disseminated so students will not hesitate to call for assistance, Adams said. “The goal is to ensure that anyone who needs help gets help, and that we remove any barriers to someone either seeking it for themselves or for someone else,” he said. The new policy also clarifies that the students who require assistance will likely be asked to participate in an educational intervention program such as Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students, which includes two facilitated sessions discussing the students’ drinking habits. If students fail to do so on time, they may be subject to disciplinary action, Adams said. In order for the caller to gain disciplinary immunity, ARA states that they must call for help, stay with the person until assistance arrives and cooperate with staff or emergency personnel. Before being granted amnesty, students must attend a meeting to determine whether they responded appropriately and committed no other policy violations. Star said members of ASG have been pushing for clarification of this policy before he became president, but the work came to fruition at the end of Spring Quarter when the changes were announced at a dinner for student leaders. The Community Alcohol Coalition — comprised of staff, faculty and students — has been considering solutions for the past year and a half and have studied other colleges’ policies for direction, Adams said. The coalition recommended the administration add the medical amnesty clause in May. Rising McCormick junior Wendy Roldan, ASG vice president for student life, said she was informed of instances in which a student called 911 to help their intoxicated friend and the friend was later disciplined. Roldan said that even as a peer adviser, it was difficult for her to explain to freshmen inquiring how the school would respond if, for example, someone called 911 to report a case of alcohol poisoning. “There is a big problem when students don’t understand what the protocol is saying,” Roldan said. “Students do want to help each other — we do care — but unfortunately people weren’t participating in it because they didn’t understand the result of their actions if they were to respond.” Administrators and students solidified the new policy language this summer so incoming freshmen could be educated during Wildcat Welcome programming, Adams said. “There was an opportunity there to revisit what the clause was intended to do and make sure that it was not only clear but meeting the needs that we had,” Adams said. “Our No. 1 priority is the health and well being and safety of our students, so adding medical amnesty into our policy became important.” juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu

Court dismisses Medill professor’s case again By JULIA JACOBS

daily senior staffer @juliarebeccaj

A version of this story was published Aug. 13 on The Daily Northwestern’s website. A second federal judge ruled in August that Evanston police had acted reasonably in a racial profiling case from three years ago involving a Northwestern professor’s son, in which an officer mistakenly handcuffed the teenager in connection with a burglary. The decision from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals came Aug. 6, nearly one month after fingerprint evidence implicated the actual burglar in the 2012 case. Evanston police chief Richard Eddington said the July 13 burglary charge supports the court’s conclusion that the officer was reasonable to suspect Medill Prof. Ava Greenwell’s son in connection with the crime. “The subsequent tying of an offender with an extremely similar description to the crime scene by fingerprint is the icing on the cake,” Eddington said. “If you look at the plaintiff’s son’s description and the young man eventually charged with this, they’re extremely similar.” Greenwell’s son initially sued Evanston Police Officer Mark Buell in September 2012, alleging that the officer racially profiled him and violated his Fourth Amendment rights condemning unreasonable searches and seizures. The rising Evanston Township High School junior appealed the district court’s decision in favor of the officer in March 2014. “We are disappointed with the appellate court decision but not surprised,” Greenwell told The Daily. “I think courts are often behind the times as it relates to issues of race.” Soon after the 911 call reporting the burglary on Aug. 30, 2012, Greenwell’s then-13-year-old son was spotted by an officer riding his bicycle near Chute Middle School, where he was an eighth grader at the time, according to court documents. The pursuing officer’s description of the teenager was similar to the one of the burglar that had been broadcast over the police dispatch: “young boy, African American, (wearing) cargo khaki shorts, dark brown T-shirt or (a) dark shirt.”

Judge Daniel Martin granted the officer’s motion for summary judgment based on an exception to the 4th Amendment regarding an officer’s reasonable suspicion to conduct an investigatory stop. Martin found that Buell was reasonable to conclude that Greenwell’s son was connected to the crime based on the matching characteristics and circumstances surrounding the stop, which led him to believe the teenager was evading police, according to court documents. Buell had assumed Greenwell’s son was attempting to flee based on the breathless tone of the officer over the radio dispatch who had initially pursued him, as well as an instance when he placed his hands on a fence, ostensibly attempting to scale it. “The decision really echoes and emphasizes the training that the Evanston Police Department does on a regular basis and its work towards adhering to all constitutional guidelines,” the city’s attorney Grant Farrar said. Eddington said the similar characteristics of the man now charged with the burglary confirms that it was not a case of racial profiling. In addition, it’s important to take into account the tension and uncertainty in which officers must make these types of judgement calls, he said. “In the here and the now of a crime in progress, I think the profiling issue is moot,” he added. Greenwell said she maintains her son’s case is one of racial profiling based on the officer’s unnecessary handcuffing of the teenager. “If this had happened to a 13-year-old young white student in Evanston, he would not have been handcuffed,” Greenwell said. “There’s no need to handcuff a 13 year-old on his own property if you just wanted to ask him a couple of questions.” Paul Richard Downs, the Chicago resident recently charged with the burglary from three years ago, was 17 years old when the incident occurred — five years older than Greenwell’s son at the time. Downs, whose charges are still pending in court, was arrested after the police department received fingerprint results from the Illinois State Police Crime Laboratory in late February and the resident of the home later confirmed him as the burglar, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said in July. juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu

Feinberg student sues University under Title IX By MADELINE FOX

daily senior staffer @MadelineFox14

A version of this story was published Aug. 15 on The Daily Northwestern’s website. A Feinberg School of Medicine student is suing Northwestern under Title IX saying the school responded with “deliberate indifference” after he reported he was sexually harassed by a professor. A federal judge ruled last week that the student can move forward with his Title IX lawsuit against the University. His lawyer confirmed Friday that he will do so. Judge Sara L. Ellis ruled Aug. 6 that the medical student can make his case that the University retaliated against him and did not respond as rapidly or as strongly to his grievances as it has to similar complaints filed by female students. Ellis dismissed the student’s allegation that the University responded inadequately to his sexual harassment complaint. The student says a Feinberg microbiology and pathology professor sexually harassed him and later retaliated against him after the student rejected his advances by assigning him poor grades, opposing his application to a fellowship and directing others to discontinue a promised scholarship, according to the suit. The professor declined to comment for this story. The student, who is scheduled to graduate in May 2016, is suing for a declaration that the University’s

response violated Title IX, and unspecified damages under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination by higher education institutions receiving federal funding. NU filed a motion Feb. 25 to dismiss the student’s lawsuit on the grounds that his sexual harassment claim was no longer timely and that the professor’s alleged behavior was not sexual harassment. The University also said it wasn’t “deliberately indifferent” to the complaint and that the complaint did not successfully allege “any causal connection to (the student’s) gender,” as would be necessary for a gender discrimination claim. NU spokesman Bob Rowley declined to comment Thursday on behalf of the University. According to the lawsuit filed in November, the professor recruited the student in 2006 for NU’s Medical Scientist Training Program, a combined degree program that allows students to earn a Ph.D and M.D. simultaneously. The professor, then-director of the program, assured the student he would be able to concurrently pursue a third degree, a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation, and would have the financial support of a Ryan Fellowship for the first five years, with a guaranteed extension from years six to eight, according to the suit. The professor began sexually harassing the student within three months of his July 2007 enrollment in the program, according to the suit. The professor allegedly started “making suggestive comments” about

the student’s physical appearance and “ogling” him. At a 2010 off-campus retreat, the professor allegedly invited the student back to his room so he could cut his hair. The suit also claims that the professor asked the student’s peers about the student’s sexual orientation. When the student rebuffed the professor’s alleged advances, the professor retaliated, according to the suit, by “interfering with his academic accomplishments and opportunities.” Even after the professor was replaced as director of the program in October 2011, the professor “continued to retaliate and take adverse actions against (the student),” according to the suit. In 2012, after the student’s Ryan Fellowship stipend stopped with his fifth year, the student learned the professor had directed a program official to discontinue the scholarship, according to the suit. The student was also told he would not be allowed to finish his promised third degree although he had completed much of the coursework, he said in the suit. In November 2012, the student reported the harassment to his adviser, who reported it to Joan Slavin, the University’s Title IX coordinator, according to the suit. The adviser was later told NU would not follow up on the harassment claim because it had happened two years prior. Under Title IX, complaints must be filed within 180 days of the alleged violation. Slavin did not respond to a request for comment. In 2013, the student went to Slavin directly to ask her to investigate the complaint, which she did. Slavin found that although the professor made “ill-advised

and unwelcome” comments about the student’s appearance, she did not consider them sexual in nature and therefore determined they did not violate the University’s sexual harassment policy, according to the suit. Ellis dismissed the student’s harassment claim against the University because no sexual harassment occurred after the student filed his complaint with Slavin, and NU would not have been aware of the harassment prior to his complaint. The judge did find that the student could make a case for retaliation because “failing to graduate on time, exclusion from educational events, and reputational harm within the department, taken together, are sufficiently adverse to deter a reasonable student from filing a sexual harassment claim.” She said the student could move forward with claims for gender-based discrimination, saying his allegations “sufficiently connect Northwestern’s initial refusal to investigate with (the student’s) gender.” In a response filed Sept. 11, NU denied that the University had violated Title IX and found after its investigation of the student’s allegations that the professor did not violate the University’s sexual harassment policy. NU also denied that the professor retaliated against the student when he allegedly rejected the professor’s advances. Olivia Exstrum contributed reporting. mfox17@u.northwestern.edu

Michael Szot pleads guilty to drunk driving accident charges By MADELINE FOX

daily senior staffer @MadelineFox14

A version of this story was published Aug. 26 on The Daily Northwestern’s website. Michael Szot pleaded guilty Aug. 26 to aggravated driving under the influence in the car accident that killed a Northwestern student and another passenger. Szot, who did not attend NU this year but was a

rising McCormick senior at the time of the crash, was charged with nine counts of aggravated driving under the influence after the July 19, 2014 accident. He pled guilty to one count of aggravated DUI causing death in his Aug. 26 plea. Mihirtej Boddupalli, who was also a rising McCormick senior, and Sajaad Safiullah Syed, a 21-year-old Naperville resident, both died in the crash. Szot, 22, could serve six to 28 years in prison or, if the judge finds extraordinary circumstance in his case, probation only. Szot’s plea was not part of an agreement between prosecutors and Szot’s attorney, said Paul Darrah, spokesman for the State Attorney’s

Office. Szot initially pleaded not guilty to the charges in August 2014. “This morning Michael Szot took responsibility for the tragic deaths of his two friends,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a news release. “His admission, however, can never erase what happened that evening and how his extremely bad decision to get behind the wheel of a car after he had been drinking and smoking marijuana took two young, promising lives.” Szot drove the car into a water-filled quarry, and Boddupalli and Syed drowned. Szot escaped the

car and survived. At the time of the accident, Szot’s blood alcohol content was 0.14. The legal limit is 0.08. Szot also admitted he smoked marijuana prior to the accident. He is scheduled to appear in court again Oct. 2, when the court will receive his pre-sentencing report — Szot’s complete background, including his family, personal and criminal history — after which a date will be set for his sentencing. Szot has been free on a $250,000 bond since July 21, 2014. mfox17@u.northwestern.edu

Budget

From page 1 line, Rauner enacted a change on July 1 limiting eligibility to families 50 percent below poverty. Densham said she has heard stories of children being dropped off the local library or at a house with too many children for caretakers to handle. One of CNE’s clients, a previously homeless single father, had to choose between keeping his new job or remaining in the CCAP program, she said. “I have a staff of five right now that are just on the phone constantly talking to families who’ve been denied childcare assistance and are looking for some sort of help,” Densham said. “The rug is just getting pulled out from under them, and it’s having devastating impacts.” Child Care Center of Evanston also works with

clients in the state’s CCAP program and an administrator said they have had to deny more new clients in recent months as well. “We’ve had to turn families with a new baby away because they don’t meet the new eligibility requirements,” said Lindsay Percival, the organization’s executive director. “I worry about what’s happening to these children.” Although the Child Care Center received its first check from the state for August, Percival said the organization is maintaining a freeze on wages and has delayed major repairs scheduled at the end of the summer because of uncertainty over whether future payments would come through. After Munger, the state comptroller, announced Wednesday that she will soon begin making payments to Early Intervention providers, which serve developmentally disabled infants and toddlers,

sights beyond that initial role. Rufolo said he hopes to eventually make the scholarship available to students outside of Sigma Chi. Outside of the scholarship, Mike Thumel said other endeavors have been made to continually honor his son. The fifth-year engineering student was a frequent blood donor. His wish to be an organ donor was granted in his death, Mike Thumel said. We’re doing this to carry on the memory,” Mike Thumel said. “It might be a way of a parent coping at this difficult time.”

Field said any business open to the public should charge a sales tax unless its customers are on a payment plan or the business is private or noncompetitive. Although dining halls and restaurants on campus are open to the public, the majority of their patrons are students on a meal plan, Field said. Having a sales tax but exempting students on meal plans is a common practice at other universities, Tilghman said. “The meal plans are the only tax-free options for the students,” she said. “It’s a common practice that saves students a little bit

Percival said the center can begin paying its therapists who previously worked without compensation. Kaplan, UWMC’s public policy director, said payments to social services providers will only be made after the state pays the bills at the “top of the heap” for priorities such as pensions and Medicaid. As the backlog of bills piles higher, it will become even more difficult to make those discretionary payments, he said. Up until last week, the only payments Shore Community Services had received from the state were federal Medicaid dollars, said Garsenstein, the organization’s director of administrative services. However, on Friday, the organization celebrated the delivery of nearly $300,000 directly from the state for fiscal year 2016, she said. Additionally, Shore recently lifted its hiring freeze, which the organization enacted in preparation for potentially of money.” Tilghman hopes to see an increase in usage of Cat Cash, which allows students more purchasing flexibility than meal swipes and equivalency meals and is still exempt from the tax. NU Dining is also considering changing equivalency meals to smart bundles, which would let students buy a full meal at an NU Dining restaurant or convenience store with one meal swipe. They piloted the program last Spring Quarter, however it has not fully taken effect. NU Dining is gathering as much data as possible before making changes, Tilghman said. For this test period, students can now use a smart bundle to pay at Lisa’s Cafe.

paralyzing state cuts. “It’s been a really uncertain summer, but things are starting to slowly resolve, we hope,” she said. Although Childcare Network of Evanston has received recent influxes of federal and private money allowing it to stay focused on its mission, state funds still play an integral role, said Densham, the organization’s executive director. Down in Springfield, she said she hopes politicians will help reassert the need for a strong government system assisting the state’s most vulnerable populations. “We, as the Childcare Network, are happy to step in and provide a bit of a safety net in response to the changes and try to help as much as we can,” Densham said. “But we can’t solve a state budget crisis, and we can’t do it alone.” juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu “This year we are just doing a focus on what makes more sense,” she said. “The smart bundles allow you to get a full meal with your equivalency dollars.” NU Dining will be meeting with students throughout Fall Quarter to make the campus meal plan more customizable for their needs, Field said. He also said he hopes to develop an off-campus meal plan and a faculty meal plan in the future. “There’s a lot of positive things going on, and a lot of improvements in the quality of the food and the offerings that we have here 75004 on campus,” he said. emilychin2018@u.northwestern.edu

36 people, fraternity face charges in death blamed on ‘brutal’ hazing ritual

University of California to revisit its free speech policy LOS ANGELES — It’s been a half-century since the Free Speech Movement was born on the steps of Sproul Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, inspiring nationwide protests and creating the principle of unfettered expression on campus. On Thursday, UC regents debated a modern-day sequel: how to allow for free speech while protecting students against prejudice. A proposed new policy against intolerance was criticized by some regents and Jewish groups as too weak in dealing with what they contend are rising numbers of anti-Semitic incidents on campuses. Others complained that it went too far and would stifle dissent. The UC regents on Thursday withdrew the controversial policy statement and launched a new effort to rewrite it over the next few months. The task ahead for UC will be closely watched nationally, experts said. Increasingly multicultural universities want to be seen as a welcoming place for all students — even as the Internet and social media make it easier for students to disseminate offensive and racist views. In addition, the movement by some student groups to push for the divestment of universities’ financial holdings from companies that do business with the Israeli military has heightened tensions on some campuses. Some Jewish groups urged the regents Thursday to adopt the U.S. State Department definition of anti-Semitism that includes demonization of Israel and denial of that nation’s right to exist. Those groups later said they were pleased the regents are returning to the drawing board, even if the university ultimately does not use that definition in revising the statement. First Amendment experts said they worried that the regents might wind up repressing political debate over the IsraeliPalestinian conflict and other hot issues. Many universities, particularly those that are public, want to encourage “uninhibited and robust debate on issues students care about” but also feel pressure from students, faculty, alumni and politicians to “focus on the impact of unregulated, unfiltered expressions of free speech on fellow students,” said Peter Scheer, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, which is devoted to free speech.

NEW YORK — By the time Chun Michael Deng — Michael to his family and friends — made it to a hospital on that cold December morning, he was struggling to breathe after being beaten and knocked unconscious while staggering blindfolded under the weight of a heavy backpack. The 19-yearold college student, an aspiring Pi Delta Psi frat brother, died shortly afterward. Nearly two years later, a grand jury has indicted 36 people and the fraternity on charges including murder in the latest example of what prosecutors say is a case of fatal hazing. Police in Pocono Summit, Pa., a bucolic region about 100 miles west of New York City, announced the indictments Monday, and on Tuesday they said some arrests had been made. The fraternity was expelled from New York City’s Baruch College, where Deng and his companions were students. Pi Delta Psi is described on its website as an Asian-American cultural fraternity founded in New York in 1994. It lists 25 campus chapters or associate chapters, most of them in the eastern United States. The fraternity’s president did not respond immediately to a request for comment Tuesday. Baruch imposed a lifetime ban on the fraternity after Deng’s death. It was not immediately clear if any of the people named in the indictment, most of them in their early 20s, remained at Baruch. College President Mitchel B. Wallerstein said Baruch conducted its own internal judicial review of students involved in the Deng incident and “brought disciplinary proceedings against all of them, except for those who voluntarily withdrew from Baruch College.” “We owe it to Michael and his family to hold accountable those who were responsible for the senseless death of this promising young man,” Wallerstein said, adding that in addition to banning Pi Delta Psi, the college had imposed a moratorium in fall of 2014 on pledging activities for all fraternities and sororities on campus. The indictments come on top of a civil suit filed by Deng’s family in the New York City borough of Queens, where Deng’s parents settled after coming to the United States from China. Deng was their only child. According to the civil suit, which was filed in April, frat members participated in “this particular, dangerous hazing ritual” even though they knew it had been banned years earlier by the fraternity.

NU begins season ready to defend its Big Ten title By MIKE MARUT

Field Hockey

daily senior staffer @mikeonthemi93

With Northwestern’s first Big Ten Tournament victory under its belt, the Wildcats (7-3, 0-1 Big Ten) are primed to take a consecutive title. Under the direction of coach Tracey Fuchs and minimal losses to graduation, NU is returning most of its starters. The major loss comes at the goalkeeper position with Maddy Carpenter graduating. She was replaced by sophomore Lindsay von der Luft, and the Cats have started strong in 2015. Despite a solid record, with more than half of the season over, NU has seen mixed levels of success against high-quality opponents. The Cats started the season ranked No. 10 and opened the year with a 4-1 loss to top-ranked Connecticut. Among the other ranked teams the Cats have faced — Duke, Boston College and Maryland — they’ve come away with only one win but lost to the Blue Devils and Terrapins by just one goal. NU lost to Maryland on Friday, but following that, NU tallied its second shutout victory against Temple on Sunday. The now-No. 12 Cats have shown their power against multiple teams including Drexel, University of California at Davis — winning those contests by four goals — and Central Michigan — the team’s first shutout, 7-0. Offensively, through the first 10 games of the season, NU has recorded 36 goals averaged more than three goals per game. On the defensive side, the Cats have allowed only 15 goals. Von der Luft has come into her own as a starting goalkeeper. Last year, she received minimal playing time behind Carpenter, finding herself in the net when an NU

NU kicks off season with best start in history By MAX SCHUMAN

daily senior staffer

If last season is any indication, a strong nonconference record doesn’t guarantee season-long success for the Wildcats (7-1-2, 1-0-1 Big Ten). The 2014 team started fast, with a 4-1-1 record in nonconference play, before scuffling to a 4-6-3 regular season record in the Big Ten. But after success over the weekend, NU may be able to keep things rolling against conference opposition this season. The Cats won at Purdue (6-3-0, 0-1-0 Big Ten) Friday, 1-0, and followed that with a double overtime tie against Indiana (3-3-4, 0-0-2 Big Ten) on Sunday, 1-1. Against the Boilermakers, freshman Brenna Lovera came off of the bench to score the lone goal of the game, and NU clamped down from there to secure the victory. Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Clem blocked Purdue’s three shots on goal to record the team’s sixth shutout of the season and snap an 11-game losing streak for the Cats against the Boilermakers. Riding high after Friday’s victory, NU took 20 shots in Sunday’s match against the Hoosiers but found the net only once, as senior midfielder Niki Sebo finished with a header off a corner kick by fellow senior midfielder Nandi Mehta in the 46th minute. But the Cats’ inability to finish chances kept Indiana in the game, and the Hoosiers tied things up with a goal by junior Lauren Joray in the 79th minute. The two teams traded chances in the overtime periods, but neither netted a winning goal, sealing the tie. The weekend’s results showed off the strengths NU has displayed all season, with a terrific defensive effort supplemented by an offensive spark from junior forward Addie Steiner. NU has been rock-solid in the back, allowing .4 goals per game. The defense, spearheaded by Clem, has allowed goals on a miniscule 4.2 percent of its opponents’ shots on the year. Steiner has been NU’s premier offensive threat on the season, sharing the team lead with two goals on a team-leading 42 shots. Although she didn’t score in the weekend’s games, she was still active, assisting on the game’s only goal for her fourth assist of the

MAKING HISTORY Junior Maria Grygleski dribbles past the defense. The Wildcats shot out of the gates this season to a 3-0 start, the best in school history.

year before tallying a whopping 10 shots against the Hoosiers, four of them on goal. This is a young team, with 11 freshmen on the roster, and the team has struggled to finish the chances it has created so far this season, with only 9.6 percent of its shots ending up in the net. Those factors haven’t prevented the team from finding early-season success, though, and the players are well aware that for a team that has struggled in recent memory, this season has been different and could become something special. “This is basically the best start to a season we have ever had,” sophomore forward Maria Fayeulle said, noting this marks the first time in program history the Cats started 3-0. “I honestly go into games and the thought of losing doesn’t even cross my mind,” Mehta said. “I just know we’re going to find a way to get the job done.” maxschuman2018@u.northwestern.edu

After an ugly, punt-heavy first half from both teams, the Wildcats showed enough life in the second half to gain and expand a lead, finishing off Duke 19-10 in Durham, North Carolina on Saturday. In the team’s first road test, Northwestern defeated the Blue Devils in a defensive game dominated by sophomore linebacker Anthony Walker, senior defensive Dean Lowry and sophomore cornerback Keith Watkins II. The important victory proves the team’s season-opening win against Stanford was no fluke and that the Cats can stand up to formidable opponents. “We knew this was going to be a dogfight,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said after the game. “We’re not afraid to take on that type of competition.” Walker had a career-high 19 tackles by the end of the game, facilitating many third down stops and forcing numerous punts from Duke.

10 The first half was kept interesting by plays from Lowry and sophomore safety Godwin Igwebuike. Lowry claimed an interception in the second quarter, returning it 18 yards, while Igwebuike forced and recovered a Duke fumble. These particular defensive plays highlighted the major theme of the game: NU’s defense bailed out the offense numerous times, in particular quarterback Clayton Thorson, whose growing-pains mistakes have to be noted. After an easy victory last week against Eastern Illinois, the redshirt freshman faced a confident and strong Blue Devils defense. His game, however, was marked with interceptions and underthrown passes. A particularly noteworthy play in the third quarter had Thorson throwing into triple

coverage, basically handing Duke an interception opportunity, which the Blue Devils readily seized. Strictly looking at the numbers, Thorson was outplayed in the first half, and NU showed a lack of progression. Thorson’s 38 yards were paltry compared to Duke’s junior quarterback Thomas Sirk with 86 yards. Thorson didn’t dramatically improve his stat line (9-for-23 with 70 yards and two interceptions) but did enough to preserve NU’s lead. “(Thorson) is 1-0 three times, and frankly that’s all that matters,” Fitzgerald said. “He’s going to learn from all these experiences.” Junior running back Warren Long had the most exciting offensive play, breaking through to run 55 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Strong blocking from the offensive line and a solid block from senior superback Dan Vitale offered chemistry that the offense had been lacking all day. NU’s special teams also showed just how much they’ve progressed in the last couple of years. Sophomore Solomon Vault ran 98 yards to return a kick for a

touchdown to start off the third quarter, prompting a much-needed change in tone for the game. Even after such a shaky performance, the Cats go into their match-up against Ball State next week at 3-0. This win, along with the earlier Stanford win, makes upcoming swing games like

Minnesota in two weeks that much more interesting for a program coming off back-to-back 5-7 seasons. “We’ve flushed what happened over the last two years,” Fitzgerald said. “This is an entirely different team.” stephaniekelly2017@u.northwestern.edu

Anthony Walker emerges as next defensive star By ALEX PUTTERMAN

daily senior staffer @AlexPutterman

Late last fall, with Anthony Walker only several weeks into his tenure as Northwestern’s middle linebacker, coach Pat Fitzgerald asked the redshirt freshman whether it “felt like high school” yet, in terms of Walker’s comfort on the field and ability to diagnose offensive play calls as they developed. “It really didn’t,” Walker recalled last week. “All the way to the end of the year it didn’t feel like I was back in high school. And he said, ‘Then you’re not there yet.’” In 2014, Walker was an inexperienced fill-in, pressed into duty by starter Collin Ellis’ persistent concussion woes. He had some bright moments — eight tackles and an interception-return touchdown again Penn State, most notably — but also struggled with less visible aspects of

his position, like filling holes and occupying blockers. Less than a year later, Walker looks like a star. The sophomore was the best player on the field for NU, recording 10 tackles in a 16-6 upset of Stanford on Sept. 5 and 19 Saturday against Duke. For the first performance, Walker earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week award. For the latter, he was named Walter Camp Football Foundation Defensive Player of the Week. Overall, Walker leads the Cats with 36 tackles in three games, second in the Big Ten. “Anthony’s just become a more savvy player,” linebackers coach Randy Bates said last week. “He’s learning every day, and the nice thing with him is I don’t have to tell him twice. When he makes a mistake he learns from it.” Walker is part of a supremely talented Wildcats class (Already, four players who entered the program in 2013 are starting on defense), one that prides itself on charisma and

camaraderie, or, as the linebacker put it after the Stanford game, “playing with swagger.” Walker fits right in, hurtling toward ball-handlers and celebrating exuberantly when he gets to them. The South Florida native stands at 6 feet 1 inch, 235 pounds, with a thick, athletic build that would fit at almost any position. As a middle linebacker, his job is to be menacing, and he plays the part well. Off the field is a little different, says Walker’s friend and classmate Godwin Igwebuike. “He’s a real goofy dude,” Igwebuike said. “We call him a big toddler. He’s a big teddy bear. Obviously he’s huge, I mean he’s massive. At first you’re like, ‘Oh snap this dude’s kind of scary.’ But as you get to know him he’s real kind, real soft-hearted.” Walker presents a gentle demeanor and easy smile, and Igwebuike says the linebacker used to keep to himself, “sticking to his room playing (NBA) 2K all day” but eventually

emerged as one of the “silliest” players in the class. Walker has had to leave his shell to play middle linebacker, a position sometimes called the “quarterback of the defense.” Despite being NU’s youngest starting linebacker and one of the team’s least-experienced defensive regulars, the sophomore has been a willing leader. “Anthony feels much more comfortable being out in front of the group, really being the guy who says ‘follow me,’” Fitzgerald said. Bates commends Walker, whose father is a former coach, on his ability to quickly process football’s intricacies and likens Walker’s skill set to that of former NU, Chicago Bears and Oakland Raiders middle linebacker Nick Roach. Given Walker’s performance over the first 15 games of his career, such a lofty comparison might not be hyperbole. The former three-star recruit out of Monsignor Edward Pace High School in Miami Gardens, Florida,

has quickly developed into one of the top players on a defense that could be the best of the Fitzgerald era. And with two more seasons in Evanston after this one, Walker could become one of the premier players to come through the Cats’ program in recent memory. But there certainly remains room to grow. Fitzgerald, himself a former linebacker, was hesitant to praise Walker last season even after the Penn State game but said he’s been happy with his progress so far this year. “He’s been pretty good unblocked,” Fitzgerald joked. “I think he’s going to get blocked a few more times. But he’s really done the fundamental things well, and as a linebacker that’s all you have to do.” Walker says the game is slowing down for him but college ball doesn’t feel like high school quite yet. When it does, the Big Ten had better watch out. asputt@u.northwestern.edu

Consecutive victories help Cats make up for slow start By BEN POPE

Due to a lack of an on-campus stadium for the 2015 season, Northwestern has embraced Toyota Park in Bridgeview as a temporary home and found success entering the bulk of the conference schedule. The Wildcats (2-3-1, 1-1-0 Big Ten) recorded one-goal wins over Ohio State and Central Florida at the home stadium of Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire last week before a Sunday road loss at Michigan dropped them back below .500. The Aug 29 campaign opener against Colgate resulted in a 1-1 draw after two overtimes. A goal by junior midfielder Jeffrey Hopson in the 38th minute answered a set piece strike by Colgate’s Benji Geisler in the 14th minute, and 110 minutes of play failed to break the deadlock. An early September trip to the Pacific Northwest proved fruitless for the Cats. Seattle University and Gonzaga shut out NU in games in Spokane, Washington, on Sept. 3 and 5, respectively. Seattle peppered senior goaltender Zak Allen and the Cats’ net with 28 shots

and nine on goal, breaking through in the 49th minute with a Hamza Haddadi goal and tacking on two more from Michael Roberts later in the half. Two days later, a Conner Bevans 22nd-minute goal proved the difference in Gonzaga’s triumph over NU. The Cats produced a plethora of scoring opportunities and turned seven attempts toward the goal in the second half, helped by a Gonzaga red card in the 68th, but were held to a goose egg by Bulldogs keeper Chris Lowrimore. The Cats responded by picking up their first victory in their Toyota Park debut on Sept. 11. Braces by senior forward Joey Calistri in the 18th and 62nd minutes helped NU survive an own goal in the 82nd minute and edge Ohio State, 2-1. Returning to Bridgeview last Monday, Allen’s first clean sheet of the season allowed NU to top Central Florida 1-0 on an 81st minute Jake Roberge goal. Allen made four saves as the visiting Knights unleashed 15 shots toward the goal to no avail. The team’s first conference road match of the year resulted in a 3-0 defeat by Michigan on Sunday. The Wolverines leapt out to a 2-0 lead after the game’s

first 36 minutes and cruised to victory. Shot production remains a source of pessimism for the Cats. NU has been outshot in every game to date, taking just 51 total shots to its opponents’ 107. NU will need to ride the experience of Calistri, who now ranks third in school history with 29 career goals, to continue its offensive surge. The contributions of juniors Hopson and Cole Missimo, sophomore John Moderwell and freshman Camden Buescher — all of whom have appeared in all five games to date — will also prove important. Defensively, seniors Henry Herrill and Nati Schnitman and junior Nathan Dearth — one of three players to play every minute of the year to date — anchor the unit entering autumn. In an odd twist only possible in this type of nomadic season, the Cats will play a road game against University of IllinoisChicago at Flames Field on Wednesday and then host a home game against Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville at the same location next month. The team hosts four more games in Bridgeview as well, next on Sunday, Sept. 27, against Indiana. benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu
