Evanston Animal Shelter rebuilds By Julia Jacobs

the daily northwestern @juliarebeccaj

Alisa Kaplan and Vicky Pasenko like to say they’re the Swiss Army knives of Evanston Animal Shelter. During their approximate 25 hours a week at the shelter, they may be found in their office bent over paperwork and answering phones. But they might also be found in the trenches doing the grunt work of animal care: cleaning soiled cages, walking stir-crazy dogs and feeding fast-growing kittens. Without formal titles, the two volunteers have managed the shelter ever since Community Animal Rescue Effort departed a year ago. On May 9 of last year CARE, the nonprofit that previously ran the shelter, left the building to the city — with its shelves and bank account empty. That weekend, there was an outpouring of support from the community, with Northwestern students planting flowers in the garden and holding a donation drive to replenish supplies, Pasenko said. “We were doing a lot in that first month, but at the same time we were also able to put into practice the changes that we felt strongly need to be made here,” Kaplan said. “Being in a position to do that and watching it actually work was a very exciting time.” Under the supervision of the Evanston Police Department, the shelter, 2310 Oakton St., has adopted out about 200 cats and 70 dogs, Kaplan said. But it’s the corps of volunteers who have kept the shelter thriving, Evanston police Cmdr. James Pickett said. The volunteers who

remained after CARE left recruited and trained 100 more volunteers, additions the shelter needed to deal with its never-ending demand with animals being dropped off on the doorstep on a daily basis, Pasenko said. After an interim of informal leadership, Kaplan and Pasenko are preparing to officially take over under their nonprofit organization called Saving Animals for Evanston. The Human Services Committee unanimously approved SAFE’s application two weeks ago, and with six out of nine City Council members on the committee, the aldermen will likely vote in SAFE on May 26. The duo was also central to raising initial objections to CARE, the most contentious of which was a canine euthanasia rate of 45 to 50 percent — a statistic CARE continues to dispute. Kaplan and Pasenko — the two co-presidents — along with another volunteer initially created SAFE in 2013 to fund the livelihood of dogs CARE slated for euthanasia. Trying to avoid a feud between the new organization and CARE, which they were still involved in, the small-scale non-profit was primarily funded by friends and family of volunteers, Kaplan said. CARE took with it an excess of one million dollars when the organization left the shelter, severing their contact with the city completely, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz told The Daily in April. CARE volunteer Karey Uhler said that the organization was justified in keeping the money because it was their volunteers who raised it. Although Kaplan said she’s wary of » See Shelter, page 7

NU works to revise sexual misconduct policy

Northwestern is revising its sexual misconduct policy to reflect new guidelines from the federal Violence Against Women Act and feedback from members of the university community. The updated policy consolidates the University’s Sexual Misconduct, Stalking, and Dating and Domestic Violence Policy and its VAWA policy and procedure, Title IX Coordinator Joan Slavin told The Daily in an email. VAWA was reauthorized by the federal government in March 2013. The new policy replaces “sexual penetration without consent” and “sexual contact without consent” with the term “sexual assault.” Sexual assault is then divided into four subsections: sexual penetration without

Tyson has received honorary doctorates from 18 American universities and is the recipient of the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest award granted by NASA to a non-government individual. His lecture was the sixth installment in the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics’ Annual Public Lecture Series. Tyson talked about the presence of science in movies and the evolution of the portrayal of fictional scientists

in film. Recent movies, such as “The Theory of Everything,” “The Imitation Game” and “Interstellar,” have featured scientists and become commercial successes, Tyson said. “Interstellar” was filled with science, Tyson said.

consent, sexual contact without consent, incest and statutory rape. Slavin also she is gathering student input on ways to improve the definition of incapacitation in the section on consent. Weinberg junior Erik Baker, an Associated Student Government senator who represents four sexual health and assault-related groups, said bolstering the definition of incapacitation should be the most important takeaway for students. “Alcohol is a tool that rapists use on college campuses to sexually assault people,” he said. “That policy is important and definitely does affect the lives of college students that do drink.” Additionally, the draft includes new definitions of dating violence and domestic violence, with more specific examples of types of abuse. The procedures section of the policy includes detailed information on privacy, the option to seek

medical treatment, and how to report incidents to law enforcement and University offices. Slavin said the draft also gives examples of interim protective measures people who have experienced sexual misconduct can request and a list of sanctions that can result from violations of the policy. Baker said the University’s efforts to update the policy reflect the growing conversation around issues of sexual assault on college campuses nationwide. He added student activism and new University employees working on sexual assault issues, including Carrie Wachter and Erin Clark at the Care for Awareness, Response and Education, also played a role in catalyzing the changes. Slavin said she aims to have the new policy finalized by July 1, 2015, when the new VAWA regulations become effective.

CAASE, YWCA address misogyny By Elena Sucharetza

the daily northwestern @elenasucharetza

A sex trafficking education and prevention group spoke on issues of violence against women and the sex industry Thursday night at the Wilmette Theatre. Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, a regional group that works to eliminate the sex trade in Chicago, was invited to speak at the event co-hosted by the YWCA Evanston/North Shore. The documentary screening and discussion drew a crowd of about 30 people. CAASE’s executive director Kaethe Morris Hoffer told the audience that between 100,000 and 300,000 children are victims of sexual exploitation in the United States. In Chicago

A LOCAL ISSUE Kaethe Morris Hoffer answers questions about human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Morris Hoffer spoke after a screening of the documentary, “Demand,” hosted by the YWCA Evanston/ Northshore at the Wilmette Theatre.

alone, she said, 16,000 to 24,000 women and girls are affected by the sex trade every day. “If you think about the normalization of sex as a commodity in our culture, the message that boys and everybody gets is the normality about strip clubs, pornography, all the things that commodify sex and demean and degrade girls and women,” Morris Hoffer said. The presentation and Q&A followed a showing of the documentary, “Demand,” which discusses the worldwide sex market through interviews with victims, pimps and clients. The film emphasizes that the solution to ending sex trafficking and human exploitation can be found through targeting the demand of the industry — those who buy sex. Morris Hoffer said CAASE has established a fund in Chicago that will hopefully collect money from arrests made against people who purchase sex. The money collected would be allocated to police departments making arrests in order to incentivize further arrests, as well as to a general fund that community organizations can pull from to fund public health projects and housing for victims in need of services after exiting the industry. “People purchasing sex have disposable income,” Morris Hoffer said. “This is not that somebody is going homeless because they’re not buying sex. The thing to understand is that they have extra money. Purchasing sex is a learned, specific behavior.” Cece Lobin, women’s empowerment coordinator at the YWCA, said projects like these are why she believes Chicago is a leader in the fight against human trafficking around the world. Morris Hoffer disagreed, and said she thinks that although Chicago has made some headway, the city ultimately still needs drastic improvement. “It continues to be the case that the city of Chicago’s police department continues to treat prostitution the way most criminal justice systems around the world have always done so,” Morris Hoffer said. “More than 90 percent of arrests are landing on girls and

women being prostituted … while the men are getting tickets.” Lobin added that beyond just punishing buyers of trafficking victims, the end to sexual and human exploitation also lies in a general cultural shift away from dehumanizing women. “At the YWCA we have specific programs for men and boys about loving, healthy relationships absent of this abuse and what that looks like,” Lobin said. Carol Jungman, an Evanston resident, said although The message the focus on ending that boys and trafficking should everybody gets land on changing is the normality male sexualization of women, all about strip clubs, women have a role pornography, all in talking to the men in their lives the things that about the dangers commodify sex. of normalizing objectification of Kaethe Morris women. Hoffer, “Men have to CAASE executive take the initiative,” director Ju ng m an s ai d. “They have to be held accountable, that’s where this all starts. It’s a visual thing, men see images and then these images are actualized in their conduct with women in real relationships.” Ultimately, men can be aided in the task by doing away with society’s dominant image of masculinity, Morris Hoffer said. “Boys live in a culture that sends so many horrific and toxic messages about masculinity and what it means to be a man,” Morris Hoffer said. “We really need to stand and teach them about the humaneness and gentleness of men and boys.”

Notable Medill alumni talk careers By Madeline Fox

Five inductees to the Medill Hall of Achievement discussed lessons they learned during their time at Northwestern and in their respective industries at a panel Thursday. The five speakers, as well as author George R.R. Martin (Medill ‘70,’71), were chosen as this year’s honorees for the Hall of Achievement, an award established in 1997 to honor Medill alumni who have had distinctive, positively impactful careers. The panel drew a packed audience in the McCormick Foundation Center Forum. Martin will visit NU this fall. New York Times journalist James Risen (Medill ‘78), has been making international headlines for his involvement in a seven-year legal battle with the U.S. government over the identity of a source. His source, Jeffrey Sterling, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison after he was convicted of violating the Espionage Act. Sterling, a former CIA officer, was charged with providing Risen with details about a botched operation to disrupt Iran’s nuclear program. Risen described the operation in his 2006 book “State of War.” “(President Barack Obama’s) national security beliefs are closer to Bush than he ever let on in the campaign,” Risen said. “As I’ve said before, he is the greatest enemy of press freedom we’ve had since Richard Nixon.” Risen, who would not comment on Sterling’s conviction, also talked about changes in the journalism industry, particularly with the rise of the Internet and citizen journalism. He said citizen journalism has benefits but can also lead to a lack of credibility as people can post without the benefit of the editing process of major news organizations. “I think the Internet has opened up an enormous number of opportunities for people to get involved in writing for publication,” Risen said. “It’s broken down all the systems in journalism and forced everyone to rethink how we do it.” David Barstow (Medill ‘86), a Pulitzer-winning

journalist with The New York Times, recalled the best piece of advice he received during his undergraduate career, from former Medill Prof. David Protess, who later directed the Medill Innocence Project. Barstow said Protess told them to be wary of getting so focused on the facts of a story that they miss the big picture. “I think that’s still one of my biggest fears, is writing a story that you couldn’t find a single factual mistake in it but that it adds up to something that’s just completely wrong,” Barstow said. Barstow also expressed concern about changes in journalism, but said he was nonetheless hopeful about the future of the industry. The Internet has also impacted the film industry, as people are moving away from seeing movies in theaters, said Nancy Utley (Medill ‘77, ‘78), president of Fox Searchlight pictures. “I think eventually ... (movies) will be available across platforms at the same time,” Utley said. “The consumers made it clear that they want what they want when they want it, and we’re going to have to adapt to that in some way or face being an obsolete form of communication.” The panelists also discussed the different directions

Medill graduate student Taylor Hall said she appreciated hearing the panelists had varied experiences before finding success. “It’s always encouraging to see that they didn’t start where they are now,” said Hall, a student of McNulty’s. “They all gave great advice about their careers.” mfox17@u.northwestern.edu

University of Wisconsin prof discusses Israeli colonialism By Mariana Alfaro

the daily northwestern @marianaa_alfaro

On the eve of Nakba Day, the annual day commemorating Palestinian displacement that followed Israeli independence in 1948, University of Wisconsin-Parkside sociology professor Seif Da’na said Israel is more than a settler-colonial state. During an event held by the Northwestern chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine on Thursday evening as part of Israeli Apartheid Week, Da’na spoke about colonial Zionism in Israel and Palestine, comparing Israel’s occupation of Palestine with other colonialist movements in history, like Spanish imperialism in the Americas. “Comparative colonialism is a recent discipline because scholars recently realized that there are so much in common between the various colonial experiences that we can form a comparative discipline,â€? he said. “So there are similarities, there are differences, between all the experiences that began in the 1500s.â€? After identifying four different types of colonialism — mixed settlements, plantations, ethnic plantations and pure settlements — Da’na said Israel is a pure settlement. “What distinguishes a pure settlements colony is ‌ (that) it conquers both land and labor,â€? he said. “If you study the history of

Illinois bluegrass groups to open Philfest, A&O, SEED announce

Bluegrass groups The Templetons and Mad Bread will open Philfest, A&O Productions and Students for Ecological and Environmental Development announced Thursday. The Templetons and Mad Bread will open for Della Mae, a Grammy-nominated bluegrass band headlining the Saturday show. The Templetons are a family bluegrass band from Lostant, Illinois, comprising Mike and Lisa Templeton and their six oldest children. They have recorded two albums. Mad Bread is a string band based out of Chicago. They mix rock, bluegrass and blues in their music. Philfest starts at 1 p.m. on Norris University Center’s East Lawn. Admission is free and any donations will go to sustainability organization Rocky Mountain Institute.

Palestine, it would be around the Hebraization of labor ‌ only Jewish programs, only Jewish labor. What does that mean? It means that they don’t only occupy the land but also labor.â€? Da’na said that by doing this, the Israeli state is expelling Palestinians from the economy and by doing so, they are expelling them from history. This, he said, provides the foundation for ethnic cleansing. He added many Israelis would probably be against ethnic cleansing and the expulsion of Palestinians from Israel. However, he said, much like the case of the United States, in which individual racism has diminished, but institutional racism continues to plague the country, the structural conditions of settler-colonialism continue to pose a threat to Palestinians. “Opinion doesn’t matter as much as the structural conditions,â€? he said. Da’na also spoke about how Israel was built on a war economy that is reflected on the country’s high military expenditures. “When you have a war economy, the outcome of this economy would mean that the Arab-Israeli conflict or struggle is an outcome of the Israeli economy, not Arab aggressions,â€? he said. “The archives show ‌ that Arab states were willing to negotiate and reach political agreements as far as 1949, one year after Nakba. The Israelis said no.â€? By showing Israeli military expenditures, Da’na said Israeli banks have investments in

the military industry. He also spoke about cultural Zionism, saying that, for example, Israeli texts and novels fail to capture the correct image of Arab characters. “If you live in a colonial condition, you cannot transcend that condition,â€? he said. “It shapes your world, your music, your novels, everything. That’s what cultural imperialism is.â€? McCormick sophomore Omar Shanti, SJP’s media chair, said in commemoration of Nakba day, it is important to discuss the institutions of colonial Zionism that remain today. “A benefit of comparing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to other historical situations is that we have the benefit of hindsight,â€? he said. “Now we can look back at the Northern Ireland Protestant project ‌ we can look at parts of Africa, we can look at the U.S. project with hindsight and use that to examine the situations.â€? Alexa Klein-Mayer, SJP’s education chair, said through Israeli Apartheid Week SJP hopes students can discuss ways to address the root problem of the Israel-Palestine issue. “You can have a very progressive attitude ‌ and you can be very sympathetic with what’s happened to the Palestinians,â€? the Weinberg junior said. “But it is an institutional, structural problem and nobody’s really talking about how to solve that in a lot of ways.â€? marianaalfaro2018@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern’s Writing Program renamed after large gift

Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences’ Writing Program will be renamed the Bobbie and Stanton Cook Family Writing Program following a “significant gift� to the program made by the Cook family. With the gift, the program will be able to offer more programming for upperclassmen and develop new partnerships to bolster programming for first-year students. It will also be able to expand beyond Weinberg to other disciplines at Northwestern to create more writing-related programs. Other goals for the gift include expanding The Writing Place, NU’s center for peer writing consultation, and advancing technological offerings for the University’s writing program. “We believe that clear writing and thinking are central to success in every academic discipline,� said the Writing Program’s director Robert Gundlach in a news release. “We also believe that writing is a complex activity worthy of study in itself.� The Bobbie and Stanton Cook Family Foundation was looking to invest in a core program at NU. �After spending so much of my life working at a great Chicago newspaper and running a national multimedia company,� said Stanton Cook, NU trustee and retired chairman of the Tribune Company, in the release, “the idea of contributing meaningfully to such an outstanding writing program to help train the next generation of writers was very important to me.� — Mariana Alraro

Officials reveal initial design for bird sanctuary By Billy Kobin

the daily northwestern @Billy_Kobin

City officials unveiled a preliminary restoration design for the Clark Street Beach Bird Sanctuary on Thursday at the restoration project’s second public meeting. The restoration project aims to restore the bird habitat, which was damaged by the construction of Northwestern’s Segal Visitors Center, 1841 Sheridan Road, where, incidentally, Thursday’s meeting took place. The city’s $173,000 budget for the project comes from a tree replacement fee NU paid after removing 275 trees during the visitor center construction, said Ryan Kettelkamp of Kettelkamp & Kettelkamp Landscape Architecture, the firm selected by the city to lead the project. Kettelkamp said community members who attended April’s meeting requested the firm add a water source for birds, fencing for protection and signage and a maintenance plan for after construction of the sanctuary is complete. Officials involved in the project have begun

to refer to the site as a “sanctuary� instead of a “habitat� in response to public input, said Kettelkamp. “We wanted to make sure that we heard you,� Kettelkamp told the audience of about 30 people. Kettelkamp unveiled the possible design for the sanctuary, which is south of the Segal Visitors Center. The design includes new handicap-accessible viewing areas, indented open areas where vegetation can grow, and fencing around the sanctuary. The design also includes space for an information board, but Kettelkamp said funding is not yet available to make that a reality. Overall, the sanctuary will aim to provide food and a “stopping-off point� to the about 280 species of birds that migrate through the Chicago area annually, according to city documents. “We want it to look good, and we don’t want it to look like a bird prison,� Kettelkamp said. Stefanie Levine, the city’s senior project manager, told The Daily that Thursday’s meeting would be the last meeting open to the public, as city officials now need to submit construction designs before beginning the bidding

process for contractors in August. Levine said restoration work will begin in the fall. Libby Hill, an Evanston resident involved with the Evanston North Shore Bird Club, told The Daily the project has overcome challenges thanks to community excitement and cooperation between school groups, city officials and community groups. “I would like the entire community to feel that this is their sanctuary, that they’re assisting the birds,� Hill said.

Kettelkamp said the community is the leader for the restoration of the bird sanctuary and that volunteers will be called on to maintain the restored area. “We want this to be something that engages the public,� he said. “We recognize that this has always been a favorite spot for Evanston birders.�

Perhaps my unconventional description is a failed attempt at humor — you can be the judge of that — but it does capture the salient truth that social media is a huge component of millennial life. But don’t just take it from me. A Crowdtap study found 71 percent of millennials use at least one social network daily. And when we start, we can’t stop; that same study also concluded that the average millennial uses social media for more than five hours each day. For some perspective, there have been moments during exam weeks in which I’ve hardly managed to sleep for five hours. Traditional newspapers, ever a few years late to the party, have begun to take notice. As it stands, a mere 10 percent of The New York Times’ subscribers are between the ages of 18 and 24. The Times — along with National Geographic, Buzzfeed, NBC, The Atlantic, The Guardian, BBC News, Spiegel and Bild — announced on May 13th that they would begin directly hosting article content on Facebook. These “instant articles” are now accessible through the official Facebook app to iPhone users. Because the articles open directly in users’ news feeds, they will reportedly load 10 times faster than traditional links. They will also be more immersive, featuring interactive maps, highresolution photos and videos embedded directly into the content. In a vacuum, this seems like a win-win. Readers get content delivered in a more accessible and dynamic way, and publishers capture the business of an age group that currently pays them little attention. But what articles will actually be read, and by whom? It’s no secret Facebook’s users provide it with an astonishingly large amount of data, both knowingly and unknowingly. And this data can be used in an unfathomable number of ways. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, for example, was able to run his own analysis on the social network’s data and conclude with 33 percent accuracy whether or not a given user would be in a relationship in the next week. Creepy or not, this unorthodox experiment highlights the fact that Facebook knows an awful lot about you. Facebook is incredibly good at using this data to provide its users with content that is eerie in its relevance. In one viral blog post, a conniving roommate pranked

his counterpart by purchasing a series of Facebook advertisements that were highly specific to him. The prankster’s roommate was, ironically, a professional sword swallower who was unable to swallow pills; he soon found an ad next to his news feed that addressed this exact problem. It was only when he saw an advertisement that asked, “Ever feel like your roommates are creating Facebook ads targeted to a niche of just you?” that he finally realized what had happened. The prank demonstrates Facebook’s potential to target content at specific users. It’s impossible to know for sure, but I’d like to think that it was so believable because of the prevalence of this kind of tailoring. For the time being, the participating publishers in the instant articles program plan to post no more than a few articles a week on the platform. But if and when the service grows, it will inevitably raise questions about whether or not readers are actually becoming more informed as a result of it. If news feeds and related advertisements are already tailored to users, won’t instant articles — shared by friends or by pages to which readers are already subscribed — validate the existing interests and biases of their readers? Presumably, traditional publications should be better equipped to determine the newsworthiness of certain stories than I could be. But I’m also not trying to suggest that the editors of The New York Times should be the sole arbiters of, as they would have it, what news is “fit to print.” In fact, they often aren’t. For example, some of the best journalism about the Edward Snowden whistleblowing incident came from Glenn Greenwald, a columnist for Salon.com and The Guardian. Greenwald’s work inspired Snowden to reach out to him in order to share his story — one that otherwise may not have become available for the Times to print. In the end, though, I simply am forced to admit that I trust the Times’ editorial judgment more than that of most of my Facebook friends. Moreover, there is enormous value in exposing oneself to new perspectives and issues. In an ideal world, I would contend that editors at large publications such as the Times should use their connections and expertise to assist their readers in that process. But Facebook, a company that has arguably perfected the art of spoon-feeding me the content I already want, doesn’t seem like the best candidate to lead that charge. Noah Kane is a Weinberg senior.

Curtis Chou

daily columnist

Two weeks ago, I sat in the dimness of Cahn Auditorium, smiling wryly as I watched some of the most accomplished performers on our campus champion the sport of basketball while asserting that “no one cares about baseball anymore.” As a longtime fan of baseball, I have grown used to the eye rolls and the mockery that follow the proclamation of baseball’s epithet as America’s National Pastime. It once might have been, people say, but not anymore. The United States revolves around football now, or even basketball. Nothing is quite as exciting as the crushing hits and blazing speed displayed on the gridiron or the high flying dunks seen on the hardwood. Baseball is too slow, too boring; its athletes aren’t athletic enough; and worst of all, “baseball is a dying sport.” Even the Waa-Mu Show managed to get a dig in. I admit it takes a certain temperament to watch baseball. Because Major League Baseball games are a near nightly occurrence, they aren’t easy to follow and are even harder to consistently watch. Perhaps the sports’ most egregious offense is its length. Sometimes the games drag on, occasionally doubling the normal regulation length of nine innings to 18 innings or beyond. Yet taking all of the critiques levied against the sport into consideration, I can only conclude that those who mock the game are not watching the same one I am. Instead of the constant hollering that threatens to burst the eardrums of the spectators at a football game, a pervasive buzz blankets the stadium throughout most the game. It is at once a family affair, a reunion of old friends, a gaggle of schoolboys and a couple’s date, each group engrossed in their own stories and lives despite their close proximity. But suddenly, as if by command, every eye swivels and stares as the pitcher steps into his windup. The knee goes up high, and the foot swings forward. The elbow snaps, and the ball slings from his fingers towards home plate. Crack. The ball jumps off the bat like a demon released from hell and screams into the summer night sky. There is a moment of murmured anticipation as the ball hovers alone in the sky. But then as the ball falls, the crowd roars like cannon echoing across the battlefield. People scream and applaud, the foghorn sounds, the music blares and the player trots around the diamond, sometimes with his arms up but most of the time unassuming. This is spectacle. This is magic. Few other sports offer the dynamic boom of a baseball game, from the calm buzz to the roar that shakes concrete. All of it is absorbed

Online Buzz

into the temples of history that dot the country, from the hallowed green walls of Fenway Park to the age-old vines of Wrigley Field and the majesty of Yankee Stadium. Baseball is a homage to the past, filled with heroes and moments steeped in the glaze of tradition. When school lets out for the summer, sons join their fathers and grandfathers at the old ballpark, each carving their own place in stadium lore. Baseball is a game that pits one team against another, more so in a battle of wits than one of physicality. In football, the quarterback must be both the hero and the star. There is no such idolatry in baseball. A pitcher may dominate, but only about once every five days. A catcher may hit 30 home runs, but he cannot run down the ball in the outfield grass. At any time, the most unassuming player can stalk to the batter’s box under the watchful eye of 50,000 critics and deliver the walk-off hit, carving himself a small slice of glory.

“

Few other sports offer the dynamic book of a baseball game, from the calm buzz to the roar that shakes concrete.

In basketball, a team down by 20 could be defeated by the clock even if momentum was pushing them hard to the finish. All they needed was five more minutes. There is no such pressure in baseball. It is a game that is not over until it is over. Down eight runs with two outs in the ninth inning, not all hope is lost. As unlikely as it seems, there is no clock to tell them when they must give up. But baseball isn’t a perfect game. There are issues that need to be corrected and finetuned, especially regarding the use of technology. And yes, youth baseball participation is declining, which is a problem that must be solved in the future if the sport is to be preserved. Most people already say football is America’s national pastime, not baseball. Yet millions of fans continue to flock to stadiums each year to watch the most unique of major American sports. The sport with no clocks. The sport with enough scoring that it isn’t boring but not too much that it’s a commonplace affair. The sport that is as much mental as it is physical. The sport of spectacle and tradition, filled with iconic players and moments. If this is a dying sport, then heaven is a field of freshly mowed grass and infield dirt.

Shelter

From page 1 unearthing this buried conflict, one that held the city and the shelter in a web of politics for months starting in February 2014, one of the volunteers’ missions this past year has been to change the shelter’s approach to dogs with behavioral issues. “We also just sort of start from the assumption that the dog is home-able, adoptable and work from there instead of the other way around,” Kaplan said. “We never said that we thought every dog was safe to rehome, but we do think that many more dogs are safe to rehome than CARE did.” Finding alternatives

“(Euthanasia is) not a decision anyone wants to make, and it was a decision that we spent a lot of restless nights making when we had to do these evaluations,” Love-Bradford said. “It hurts. Every time you have to make that decision it tears a little piece of your heart out.” After the city took over the shelter, the volunteers’ strategy for reducing canine euthanasia was getting the dogs out of the stressful environment and into either foster homes or off-site training centers, current shelter volunteer Shannon Daggett said. Although CARE tried to use the foster method as much as possible, there was a limited pool of people willing to open their homes to challenging dogs, Love-Bradford said. The new effort took an expansion of the shelter’s foster program, Daggett said.

Back when CARE ran the shelter, three days after a dog arrived, volunteers would give the dog a behavioral assessment, determining its adoptability by observing responses to interactions with people and other animals, said Angela Love-Bradford, a CARE volunteer who has remained with the displaced organization. Only dogs that showed severe aggression toward people, extreme possession issues or required medical care outside the shelter’s capacity were euthanized — those that fell into a “gray area” were reassessed a couple of weeks later, Love-Bradford said. Although those behavioral issues are workable, few adopters have the skillset to deal with those kinds of animals, she said.

Tyson

Japanese scientists, Tyson said, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014 for the discovery of blue light-emitting diodes, which have enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources.

From page 1 movie,” Tyson said. “That’s without precedent.” Tyson, the fifth head of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City, talked about how the United States is falling behind in modern science discoveries due to lack of funding. He mentioned significant achievements in other areas of the world, including Europe and Japan. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, Tyson said, constructed the Large Hadron Collider to create, observe and study the Higgs boson, a particle that has advanced scientists’ ability to make progress in the field of particle physics. Two European scientists received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013 for this discovery, Tyson said. “In Europe, not only did they discover the Higgs Boson, they might detect mini black holes that could implicate a parallel universe in extra dimensions,” Tyson said. “It’s not happening in America.”

The summer after CARE’s departure, a gray pit bull mix named Oscar arrived at the shelter emaciated and with a leg that had broken and reset on its own, Pasenko said. Oscar had a lot of strikes against him, Kaplan said. He didn’t relate well with dogs or people, and he fiercely guarded his food. To better serve Oscar’s needs, the volunteers sent him to an off-site training center in Ingleside, Illinois. For 10 weeks Oscar lived at Big Ed’s Dog Training, a 4-acre ranch run by Ed Gramiak, who devotes himself to rehabilitating dogs with “heavy-duty” issues like fear-aggression or possessiveness.

“It’s more evidence that we’re really fading,” Tyson said. Tyson said NASA successfully launched the Orion spacecraft in December 2014, but the completed mission is not a significant advancement for the United States. “I said congratulations … but in fact I’m deeply disappointed that I’m not congratulating the United

of those weeks, Gramiak went on long walks with Oscar to strengthen his injured leg, a vulnerability which he identified as the main source of Oscar’s problems. When Oscar ate, Gramiak would crouch on the ground “cheering him on” so the dog would understand there was nothing to fear. Kaplan said Oscar’s transformation demonstrates the shelter’s renewed dedication to taking the best possible care of the animals they receive. Oscar’s current owner Karin Prendergast, who adopted him in November, said she now feeds him out of the same bowl as her other dog without conflict. “He’s a dog I’m very proud of just because he was so broken, he was so insecure, he was so scared and shy,” Gramiak said. “He’s thriving in his forever-home now and that’s a dog that a lot of people used to be afraid of.” The start of a new era Despite their newfound control over the fate of the animals in the past year, with the city’s oversight the volunteers have had much less power over shelter funds. Without the ability to fundraise on their own, every purchase the shelter makes has to go through the city, Kaplan said. That system works well with large, consistent purchases such as food and kitty litter but makes small purchases a burden, resulting in volunteers often paying out of their own pockets, she said. The city reimburses those last-minute necessities States for a first walking on Mars,” Tyson said. Tyson discussed several phenomena in the universe throughout his talk, including missions to Mars, the ongoing study of Pluto and the effects of tidal forces of the moon on Earth. However, Tyson emphasized the United States is not leading many of the studies being conducted about the universe. The initiative to establish a human settlement on Mars via the Mars One program, for example, was developed by Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp. He also said the international Rosetta mission, which is the first mission designed to orbit and land on a comet, is led by the European Space Agency. Sarah Wolff (McCormick ‘13), now a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering, said she sees Tyson as an inspiration. “I know he has a quote about role models being overrated, but honestly he is a role model in science communication, and that is something I have always wanted to improve on,” Wolff said. John Everett, assistant director of operations at

if the volunteers send receipts, Pickett said. But going through the bureaucratic rigamarole for a roll of paper towels or a bottle of bleach often isn’t worth it, Kaplan said. “The goal is to gain some control over the money without falling into the CARE pitfalls,” she said. “CARE raised a lot of money and left with it and left us with nothing. That’s just not something we’re interested in repeating.” The volunteers plan to begin fundraising efforts immediately when SAFE takes over the shelter on June 1, Daggett said. The same day, the police department will hand over its supervising duties to the city manager’s office. The city is also replacing the position of Chief Animal Warden with an animal shelter coordinator, who will serve as a physical presence at the shelter and a link to the city’s nucleus, said community engagement specialist Charliese Agnew. The main problem with the city outsourcing the shelter to CARE was a loss of connection to the shelter’s innerworkings, Kaplan said. Increased transparency and bolstered communication between the shelter and the city is exactly what Kaplan thinks SAFE needs to succeed in running the shelter. “We’re very focused on this shelter, and we just want this shelter to be the best shelter it can be,” Kaplan said. “We want to work with the city to make that happen.” juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu CIERA, said NU students have worked on inviting Tyson to campus for a long time. “The impetus for this started with the Society of Physics Students, who I think have been trying to get Neil here for at least seven or eight years,” he said. “They started a conversation with his agent a long time ago.” Students in the society approached CIERA a few years ago, Everett said, but the collaboration between the two groups was not enough to provide funds for inviting Tyson to NU. Several groups contributed to bringing Tyson to campus, including the Alumnae of Northwestern and Contemporary Thought Speaker Series. “Next time around we realized what an amazing draw this was, and so we pulled together a lot of support, with help from the Alumnae of Northwestern … and then the Contemporary Thought Speaker Series jumped in with a lot of money, and they really helped make it possible,” Everett said. peterkotecki2018@u.northwestern.edu

Career Advancement gives nearly 300 students SIGP grants

Northwestern Career Advancement gave out a record-breaking 277 grants of $3,000 to students for unpaid summer internships. This is the first time more than 100 students received grants from the Summer Internship Grant Program, which began in 2007. Last year, 70 students received grants. “We know that many students are going into very important career fields in areas such as nonprofits or doing experiences abroad (and) probably won’t get funded for those experiences,” said Mark Presnell, NCA’s executive director. “We’ve certainly seen the rise in the number of applications as students begin to appreciate the importance of internships as well as exploring different career fields that don’t traditionally pay for summer interns.”

Local librarian elected to Caldecott Award committee

An Evanston librarian will serve on the selection committee for the Caldecott Award, widely considered the most prestigious award for American children’s picture books. Brian Wilson, a children’s librarian at EPL, will serve on the 2017 Caldecott Award selection committee, the library announced Thursday. First awarded in 1938, the Caldecott is an annual medal presented by the Association for Library Service to Children. The award recognizes the illustrator of an American children’s picture book published in the previous year. Karen Danczak Lyons, EPL’s library director, praised Wilson’s dedication to children’s literature.

The program has grown significantly since 2007, when 90 students applied for grants and only 10 students received funding. This year, 411 students applied for SIGP grants compared to last year’s 287 applications. Additionally, the amount of money offered to students rose from $2,500 to $3,000. Presnell said NCA expanded the program after they received increased funding from the President and Provost offices and alumni donations. Presnell said students were previously only able to obtain a SIGP grant once during their undergraduate years. However, NCA took away that restriction, which he thinks resulted in more applications. “We did hear from students that a lot of them would want to wait until their junior year to apply for SIGP because they wanted the best shot at getting the award,” he said. — Tyler Pager

SIGP Grants awarded annually

“This national recognition by his peers underscores Brian’s talent, his commitment and his expertise in picture books,” Lyons said in a news release. Caldecott recipients are chosen based on the artist’s technical execution and illustrative interpretation of the text or theme of the story, among other criteria. The selection committee typically reviews several hundred books during the selection process, choosing a winner in January 2017, the library said. “It’s a humbling privilege to be a part of this award’s great history and tradition of honoring such distinguished books,” Wilson said in the release. “This has been a career dream of mine because this award brings together my lifelong admiration for art, and love for illustrated books for young people.”

Across Campuses Behind their charms, single-sex colleges struggle with their nature

LOS ANGELES — The names of the two colleges — Sweet Briar and Deep Springs — are redolent of bucolic campuses. One is in rural Virginia, in the foothills near Lynchburg, and the other is in California’s high desert ranch lands east of Bishop. But the names of the schools are now linked by something else: the struggles of the dwindling number of single-sex colleges to survive or possibly become co-ed. While the circumstances and finances of the two schools are quite different, the debates about their futures raise questions about how important single-sex education has been for women at Sweet Briar and men at Deep Springs — and to what lengths alumni and others will go to sustain or end those traditions. Over the last 50 years, the ranks of women’s colleges have been greatly reduced. By letting men in or by closing altogether, their number dropped from 230 to 46, according to the Women’s College Coalition organization. Much of that decline occurred in the late 1960s and early 1970s as many men-only schools, including those in the Ivy League, started to admit women. Very few colleges remain just for men. Some schools, including Mills College in Oakland and Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles, maintain women-only rules for undergraduate programs and enroll men in graduate studies. Mills infamously tried to go fully co-educational 25 years ago but reversed course after a noisy revolt and campus occupation by students. The governing board of Sweet Briar stunned the 114-year-old campus and the wider academic world in February when it announced that it would close the school this summer. Administrators cited decreasing enrollment, the difficulty of getting high school graduates interested in a single-sex college and the campus’s relative isolated location, which president James F. Jones said was “30 minutes from a Starbucks.” Later, it emerged that the 700-student school faced large bond repayments and that its leaders were concerned about a possible default despite a healthy endowment and its $47,000 annual charges for tuition, room and board. Even enrolling men wouldn’t help, officials said. The faculty and local county government in Virginia are suing to stop the closure. Alumni

FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015 also are protesting and may join in legal efforts to save the school, which was known for its equestrian teams and solid engineering and liberal arts programs. Although some single-sex colleges face uncertainties, they are not doomed, according to David L. Warren, president of the National Association of Independent College and Universities. “There is no doubt there has been a winnowing in the number of these institutions nationally. But good leadership by boards and college leaders, and a continued commitment to single-sex education combined with smart business plans and innovative curriculum will enable many of the current institutions to thrive in the years to come,” he said. The survival of women’s colleges is important to help produce the next generation of female leaders, especially among minorities and students who are the first in their families to attend college, said Michele Ozumba, president of the Women’s College Coalition. While such schools don’t appeal to a large swath of high school seniors, enough young women would consider single-gender colleges as “a pathway to success” if colleges work hard enough to recruit them and explain the educational advantages they can find there, she said. In contrast to Sweet Briar, Deep Springs is not in danger of closing. Still, change is in the desert air. The tiny two-year school has been a draw for brainy cowboy-scholars since its 1917 founding. Its 28 students pay no tuition and follow an unusual program that combines reading classics and pitching hay on the 120-square mile ranch. Many go on to attend elite colleges for bachelor’s degrees. The all-male college flirted with co-education several times in the past but never moved formally in that direction until 2011, when its board voted to start admitting women in 2013. Maintaining a men-only school was no longer good preparation for the students’ future, officials said. Those plans, however, have been stalled by a legal challenge from alumni who contend that enrolling women would violate the campus’s founding trust and original mission to educate “promising young men.” In November, an Inyo County Superior Court judge ruled that the trust’s wording could be changed and the school’s mission widened to educate the gender-neutral “promising young people.”

Schiller captures 10th career conference Coach of the Year award

The Midwest Fencing Conference named Northwestern coach Laurie Schiller its Coach of the Year, the conference announced Tuesday. This is the 10th time in his career Schiller has been named for the honor. Historically successful under the veteran coach, who has led the Wildcats since 1978, NU excelled once again in the 2014-15

season. The Cats opened the season with 20 consecutive dual wins, compiled a 38-7 record in dual meets, placed second overall in the Midwest Fencing Conference Championships and finished seventh among women’s teams in the NCAA Championships. Three NU fencers earned All-America recognition at the NCAA Championships. Schiller has coached 33 All-Americans since 1998. The prolific coach earned his 1200th career win Jan. 17 against Stanford, and also guided NU’s men’s club fencing team to its fifth national championship this season. — Bobby Pillote

National News Rail safety technology improvements delayed by cost, complexity WASHINGTON—Most of the nation’s railroads will not meet a Dec. 31 deadline for installing collision-avoidance technology that could have prevented Tuesday’s deadly Amtrak crash in Philadelphia. Congress in 2008 required that railroads install positive train control by the end of this year, and although the rail industry has made progress on the $9 billion system, equipping 60,000 miles of track and 22,500 locomotives with the technology has proved to be complicated. The technology has to work across not only the seven largest freight railroads but also 20 commuter railroads, Amtrak and dozens of smaller carriers. It requires 36,000 wireless devices that relay information to train crews and dispatchers from signals and track switches. It also must work in densely populated regions where multiple rail lines intersect and are heavy with passenger and freight traffic, such as Chicago, Southern California, New York and New Jersey. “Each of these systems has to be able to talk to each other,” said Ed Hamberger, the president and CEO of the Association of American Railroads, an industry group. Even lawmakers who months ago wanted to hold the industry to the 2015 deadline have softened their position in recognition that the system simply won’t be ready. Hamberger told reporters Thursday that the industry needs another three years just to get the equipment installed, and two more to make sure it works. Of the 60,000 miles of track where the system is required, he said only 8,200 miles would be ready by year’s end. A bill approved by the Senate Commerce Committee in March would give railroads until 2020 to complete the task. But Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who wrote the legislation that contained the 2015 deadline, said a five-year blanket extension was not the answer. “In my view, that is an extremely reckless policy,” she said in a statement Thursday. Feinstein has introduced a bill that would extend the deadline on a case-by-case basis. The technology was not in place at the site of Tuesday’s derailment, on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, the busiest passenger railroad in the country. The National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday that positive train control would have prevented Train 188 from approaching a 50 mph

curve at more than 106 mph. Eight people were killed and more than 200 were injured. It was Amtrak’s first fatal accident on the Northeast Corridor since a January 1987 crash that killed 16 people. In that instance, positive train control could have stopped a freight locomotive from running past a stop signal into the path of the Amtrak train. The NTSB has recommended positive train control for decades. In January, the board included the technology on its “Most Wanted” list of safety improvements. It did not endorse giving railroads an extension beyond December. Amtrak actually may finish its installation of the system on the entire 457-mile passenger rail corridor between Washington and Boston ahead of most railroads. “We will complete this by the end of the year,” Amtrak President and CEO Joe Boardman said Thursday at a news conference in Philadelphia. The rail industry supports the Senate bill that would give the companies a five-year deadline extension, and even some of the industry’s toughest critics in Congress are prepared to give it more time. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, freight hauler BNSF and Metrolink, a commuter railroad in Southern California, are positioned to meet the original deadline. An August 2008 collision near Chatsworth, Calif., prompted Congress to pass the Rail Safety Improvement Act requiring positive train control. Twentyfive people were killed when a Metrolink commuter train ran past a stop signal and into the path of a Union Pacific freight. According to the NTSB accident report, the Metrolink engineer, who was among those killed, was texting just before the crash. Another fatal crash, on New York’s Metro North commuter railroad in December 2013, renewed calls for positive train control. Four people were killed when a New York-bound train jumped the tracks in the Bronx. The train was traveling 80 mph when it hit a 30 mph curve. Positive train control is designed to prevent a train from running a red signal or approaching a slow curve too fast. Accident investigators don’t yet know why Train 188 was going more than twice the appropriate speed when it derailed in Northeast Philadelphia, but they do know the accident was preventable. “The Amtrak disaster shows why we must install positive train control technology as soon as possible,” Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said in a statement Thursday. — Curtis Tate (McClatchy Washington Bureau/TNS)

Cats prep for titanic rematch against Terrapins

Here they are again. Here again is No. 8 Northwestern (14-6, 3-2 Big Ten), arriving in style on the heels of two dominant performances over Ohio State and Notre Dame, knocking on the door of its 11th consecutive NCAA Championship weekend. Here they are again — that other “they,” the almost perfect No. 1 Maryland (18-1, 5-0), standing for the fifth time in the past six years between the Wildcats and a national championship, this time in the quarterfinals. The Sunday matchup in College Park, Maryland, is an appropriately

No. 8 Northwestern vs. No. 1 Maryland College Park, Maryland 11 a.m. Sunday

high-stakes occasion for a historic rivalry that before this year existed almost entirely in the postseason. Since 2010, NU and Maryland have played each other twice in the national championship game and twice in the semifinals. The Terrapins edge the Cats in the team’s overall record, 9-6. The addition of the Big Ten lacrosse league gave fans the first regular-season taste of the competition, but the Terrapins’ 16-5 whomping of the then-flailing Wildcats has since remained the chip on NU’s shoulder. The players are looking forward to another shot at coach Kelly Amonte Hiller’s alma mater. Junior

Kaleigh Craig said the key to winning the Maryland rematch is belief, and NU’s mantra after the secondround win against Notre Dame was “play fearlessly.” Easier said than done. On paper, the Cats have a lot to be afraid of. The Terrapins haven’t lost in College Park all season. Reigning Tewaaraton Award winner Taylor Cummings is fifth in draw controls with 130 on the season — she beat NU 18-5 in the circle in the regular season — and tied for fifth in the nation for points. Freshman Megan Whittle is ninth in the nation for goals per game with 63, and led Maryland with five goals the last time the two teams met. That said, this NU squad is different than the team that lost to the Terrapins on March 26. Freshman Shelby Fredericks is credited with

much of the Cats’ marked improvement on the draw circle, and Craig and freshman Selena Lasota are more dangerous than ever at attack, putting in 16 of NU’s 26 goals in the NCAA tournament so far. Lasota bests Whittle’s goal total by 4. In all, the rematch is a pressurefilled situation — and a sweet opportunity — for a Cats team with something to prove. All but one of NU’s six losses this season have come from other teams in the quarterfinals; to make it to championship weekend would mean a shot at both vengeance and restitution. NU believes it can pull off the upset. Maryland has seemed championship-bound since April. Here we go again. — Ava Wallace

Q&A: Schapiro, president and fan-in-chief By BOBBY PILLOTE

daily senior staffer @BobbyPillote

University President Morton Schapiro keeps a busy schedule but still finds time to cheer on Northwestern athletics and local Chicago

sports teams. The Daily spoke with Schapiro about the crop of Wildcats heading to the NFL, his outlook for NU’s spring sports teams and, of course, the photo he took with rapper Kanye West at Sunday’s Chicago Bulls game. The Daily Northwestern: What’s

the story of that photo of you and Kanye West?

The Daily: Any thoughts on who will have the best pro career?

Morton Schapiro: So I’m sitting down next to a nice young guy … Once I figured out who (Kanye West) was, I was able to say to him … when you named your daughter, a whole bunch of students at Northwestern wrote to me and said ‘she’s gotta come to Northwestern.’ I told him that, and he said, ‘I would love that!’ … I quickly realized that this guy was really a big deal, because people were going crazy to take his picture. … Everybody is taking a picture, and I turned to him and I said ‘I’m rude for not taking a picture.’ It was my daughter who said, ‘Is it OK (to take a picture)?’ because she didn’t want to secretly do it. I didn’t understand until my son wrote to me and said, ‘Dad you don’t realize he’s smiling, and that he’s famous for not smiling in pictures.’”

Schapiro: Well (Campbell) is a great player, nose for the ball, he’s great with interceptions. … He’s also a great, ferocious tackler. He gets his arms around you and you’re going down. He’s a hitter. … I really think Kyle Prater is going to be a pro, I really do. He’s a great young man — you can’t teach height, he’s got really good, enormous hands, he’s really smart, and he just blocks ferociously. He’s a great talent.

The Daily: Were you surprised to see quarterback Trevor Siemian drafted by the Denver Broncos?

School Spirit University President Morton Schapiro poses for a photo with rapper Kanye West at a Chicago Bulls game Sunday. Schapiro is an avid follower of Northwestern sports.

Schapiro: In the seventh round, you never know. I thought maybe Kyle (Prater) … but sometimes it’s better to be a free agent rather than a seventh-round pick. We have seven who are in camps now. I was sad to see that Kain (Colter) got cut (Monday) … but we have seven guys, and obviously Ibraheim Campbell is going to stick. … I was in Qatar or India last week, and I was trying to follow (the draft) but it was hard because the time difference was so late. But I was really glad when he got drafted, and pleasantly surprised that Trevor got drafted. But I really hope that Kyle Prater takes off.

The Daily: What’s your prediction for the lacrosse game this Sunday? Schapiro: I think we’re going to win. … We got it out of our system. We lost to (Maryland) 16-5 the first time, so we’re ready for them. … And women’s golf, they were 11th after the first day (at the NCAA Raleigh Regional) and they finished second. So we’re sometimes a little slow to start, but man that team has been fantastic. … And I’m really thrilled about softball. I was really worried about that Purdue game we won 3-0. We all knew we had to win that game in order to get our ticket punched for the NCAAs, and we did. … I think we’re going to win the Regional, I think women’s golf is going to finish top five, and I think that we’re going to beat Maryland, so we’ll make it 11 Final Fours in a row. And then we’re going to use that, with this young team of freshmen, to propel us to a national championship. And softball, I think we can make the Women’s College World Series again. bpillote@u.northwestern.edu

At last, Twitter got the matchup it was hoping for, albeit in a different sport. To determine who is truly the Wildest of Cats, Northwestern (28-21, 14-8 Big Ten) will face Kentucky (29-24, 5-19 SEC) on Friday in the opening game of their NCAA Regional bracket. NU will also face host No. 16 Notre Dame (40-13, 17-6 ACC) and Ball State (33-23, 14-5 MAC) in its opening double elimination regional. NU and Kentucky, which share the mascot Wildcats, have never met on the softball field before. The last time the like-named universities opposed each other in any sport was on the weekend of Nov. 7 last year in a women’s swimming meet. Evanston’s Cats played against both the Cardinals and Fighting Irish earlier this season. Junior pitcher Kristen Wood no-hit Ball State on March 8 while NU fell in a walk-off loss to Notre Dame on April 15. After starting the regular season 3-9, Kate Drohan’s Cats went 25-12 and finished fourth in the Big Ten standings thanks to beginning conference play 8-0 with sweeps of Penn State, Wisconsin and Purdue. Their Big Ten season ended Saturday, falling to Michigan 9-0 in five innings in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament. Meanwhile, the Cats of Lexington come into NCAA Regionals having played the second strongest schedule in the country, in part due to 11 of the SEC’s 13 teams ranking in the top 33 for RPI. Florida, LSU and Auburn are the top three teams in the country. Following Wood’s no-hitter, Ball State finished its regular season 19-11 and won the MAC West Division title. The Cardinals coasted to the MAC Tournament Championship Game, defeating Western Michigan 11-3 in 6 innings for their third championship in program history and first since 2010. The tournament victory gave Ball State an automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament. The best team in NU’s regional bracket is Notre Dame, which finished the season ranked 19th in RPI. Despite clinching the No. 3 seed in the ACC Tournament, the Fighting Irish were upset by the Cinderella-team Pittsburgh Panthers in the first round 8-1. No. 6 seed Pitt advanced to the ACC Finals but succumbed to Florida State 6-2. Drohan’s squad also received good news Thursday when six players earned NFCA All-Region honors, matching the school record set in 2007. All-Big Ten first team shortstop Andrea Filler was also named to the Great Lakes All-Region first team. Big Ten Freshman of the Year Sabrina Rabin made the second team in addition to Wood and senior outfielder Andrea DiPrima, while third team honorees included senior first baseman Julia Kuhn and junior Amy Letourneau, who received designated player/utility honors. The South Bend Regional begins at 1 p.m. Friday with the first softball Wildcat vs. Wildcat matchup. — Max Gelman
