One in four women will experience unwanted sex during college, according to experts who spoke in Annenberg Hall Thursday night for “Partying, hooking up and sexual assault on campus,” a panel organized by Northwestern’s Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators. The event featured Prof. Nicola Beisel, University Health Services Director Donald Misch and Elizabeth Armstrong, a sociology professor at the University of Michigan. Armstrong used her research from colleges across the country to speak about the ways in which the organization of a university, student social life and sexual assault intersect. She also emphasized how sexual assault can be reduced on campus. “One thing men can do is really hold other men accountable for how they treat women,” Armstrong said.

Economy has not negatively affected faculty additions at NU By Jessica Allen The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/administration

Little already was perpetrating a hate crime against an “18- or 19year-old young gay male” when Hauff intervened. “It was clear they had already conducted a hate crime against this other guy when I broke into it at what time all their anger and hatred turned to me,” Hauff said. Hauff said Little was joined by Eder and McAndrew, who all began punching, kicking and calling him a “stupid faggot.” The fight spilled onto the platform at the Argyle stop at which point Hauff finally stopped the fight by pretending to be HIV-positive.

Northwestern is in a position to “make a killing” in the market to hire new faculty, University President Morton O.

Charges escalate for CTA riders “ State’s Attorney’s Office investigates, presses for more serious charges By Grace Johnson The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/cops Three Evanston residents originally charged with misdemeanors for shouting anti-gay slurs and attacking a fellow commuter on a CTA train in January will now face felony aggravated battery and hate crime charges, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said. The change in charges came about as the state’s attorney’s office investigated the case further to press for more serious charges, said Tandra Simonton, deputy communications director for the office. The state’s attor-

ney’s office said it could not comment on what in the investigation led them to press for a hate crime charge. The victim, Daniel Hauff, said he is pleased the charges have been changed. “I’m extremely grateful for the state’s attorney’s office and the Chicago Police Department for really taking a look at the facts and upgrading the charges to felony hate crime,” the 33-year-old said. “I do hope they vigorously prosecute the charges.” Kevin McAndrew and Benjamin Eder, both 23 years old, and Sean Little, 21, physically attacked Hauff on a Red Line train after he attempted to defend another com-

Former UP officer files discrimination lawsuit against NU Former University Police officer Freddie Lee has filed a lawsuit against Northwestern, he wrote in an e-mail Thursday. Lee, a Chinese American, previously filed a discrimination claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Sept. 25, THE DAILY reported in October. He joined the UP in September 2005 and was suspended with pay Sept. 10, 2009. “I wish to inform you that a lawsuit has been filed and the lawsuit is now public record,” Lee wrote. His lawyer, Justin London, could not be reached for comment. Ac-

cording to London’s Web site, the firm is filing an action against NU and UP “for egregious discrimination and retaliation in the workplace in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” Title VII, as amended, prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. University spokesman Al Cubbage said last fall that Lee’s claims had “absolutely no merit” and the University would contest them.

Despite criticism from Cowell, John Park makes Idol top 20 Weinberg junior John Park advanced to the Top 20 on “American Idol” Thursday night, despite receiving mixed reviews from the judges after his rendition of “God Bless the Child” the night before. “You have got to have an incredible voice to take on that song and you haven’t,” “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell said. University President Morton O. Schapiro said he thought Cowell was too harsh on Park. “That’s a Blood, Sweat and Tears song,” he said. “I thought he was really good. I thought they were much too hard on him. I

thought he showed remarkable range and a real presence.” American Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres said she liked his performance and hoped he would continue in the competition. “I want people to vote for you and give you another chance because I like you a lot,” DeGeneres said Wednesday night. DeGeneres got her wish: Park will move on to the next round after enough viewers called in to vote for him Wednesday night. Park will next perform March 3. Anjali Parekh said she thinks it is incredible he made it through. “It is really exciting that he is getting up there,” the Weinberg junior said. “I feel people remember the Top 20.”

Alumnus stays objective at Big Ten Network

The Daily Northwestern www.dailynorthwestern.com Editor in chief | Matt Forman

By Sarah Eberspacher The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/alumni Before landing a job as the lead studio host for the Big Ten Network in 2007, Northwestern alumnus Dave Revsine (WCAS ’91) worked for WNUR and enjoyed NU sports and campus life. He spoke with THE DAILY about staying objective when the Cats play, putting the writing skills he learned at NU into practice and becoming a successful sportscaster. Excerpts: The Daily: Were you involved with sports reporting at NU? Revsine: I did WNUR. I did play-by-play for them on football and basketball broadcasts. I wanted to be a sportscaster since I was 5 or 6 years old. I realized I wasn’t going to be an athlete pretty early on—at least not a pro one—so sports broadcasting seemed like the next best thing to do. The Daily: What were you like at Northwestern? Revsine: I was a lot like how I am now, to be honest. I loved Northwestern; I have a real passion for the place and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Most of my close friends are college friends and the people I’m in communication with every single day are from NU, which is amazing considering we were there almost 20 years ago. The Daily: How do you think NU prepared you for your current job? Revsine: I would say it helped me get a great foundation and learn how to think critically. I learned how to write, which was important especially for my time at ESPN. When you’re

hosting SportsCenter, you do your own writing. It’s odd because there’s no direct correlation between the classes I took there and what I do now, but NU was invaluable. The Daily: The Big Ten Tournament is coming up and there’s also March Madness. How do you cover major events like that? Revsine: This is definitely an important time for us. The Big Ten Tournament­â€”that’s the culmination of our year unless we get a team to the Final Four, in which case we cover that intensively. For the Tournament, though, we have a studio set up in Indy. We basically take our entire studio production and move it down there and do our pregame coverage, our postgame coverage. We’re able to do all that there. The Daily: Is there ever any trouble remaining objective when NU is playing? Revsine: You know, not only did I go to Northwestern, but my father taught in Kellogg, and both my parents went there so I have deep ties to NU. But it’s my job to be professional, and I feel allegiances to all 11 schools. We work with the coaches and get to know them, and whenever something positive happens for them, I feel good. There’s obviously a part of me that wants to see NU do well, but you reach a point in your career where you know the right way to conduct yourself and that’s what you have to do on the air. I get the reaction from my buddies who say I end up going the other direction and am too hard on Northwestern. They say I go out of my way not to see through the NU lens. I try to present both sides in the Big Ten games. Now, in the non-conference games I get to be completely partisan.

Living Wage Debate

The Northwestern Living Wage Campaign drew more than 370 students to rally for their cause Wednesday. Below, University President Morton Schapiro and NLWC Campaign Coordinator Matthew Fischler, a Weinberg senior, go issue by issue with The Daily. By Kirsten Salyer

Schapiro says...

The Issues

Fischler says...

“To pick $13.23 is bad economics … I’m a labor economist. I’ve worked on these issues. I just don’t think it makes logical sense. The federal minimum wage is $7.25. If you multiply that times 40 hours a week times 52 that comes out as 15,000 even. That’s the federal minimum wage. Now there are states, many of them, and cities that say $7.25 is too low. $15,000 is below the poverty level depending on where you live, depending on your family structure, etc … $13.23 is 27,500 … So $15,000 is too low so you go to $27,500. Well why don’t we pick $15? Why not $17? … I can understand why people want to have a set number, but as an economist, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

The Living Wage for NU employees should be set at $13.23 an hour

“We’re asking for a living wage, which is based on the Illinois Self Sufficiency Standard, which is calculated by the Heartland Alliance. The way this living wage is calculated is based on the average prices of normal goods in the Cook Country area like food, child care, transportation, etc. This wage is calculated specifically to meet the basic needs of any worker and their family. And it’s really key to say “basic needs” because it’s not a wage in which an individual can save money for retirement, to put their kid through Little League. It’s literally the minimum amount a person can make so that they don’t have to sacrifice any basic life necessities.”

“I’ve always felt that if they’re in custodial or dining services, they’re serving you, and they look like they work for us. It doesn’t matter that they work for a contractor. So I’ve never found that a compelling argument. If I were a student, and I heard the president say, “Oh they don’t work for us,” I’d think that was a cop out … Someone in my position might say, “We have 5,000 employees. They’re taken care of. Go away.” I don’t find that compelling because even though you’re working for Sodexo or Aramark, they kind of look like they’re working for us, and it’s our subcontract. So I think that I agree with students who say we have to care about them.” “One of the arguments people make is that if we have to give raises, even if it’s not people working directly for us … clearly we have to pass it all on to the students … It’s supposed to have a balance. It’s supposed to break even. That’s a reasonable argument, but if I were a student, I’d say, “Well maybe subvene it.” There are certain things we do at the University that don’t pay for themselves … So again to give you good arguments, against me I suppose, if you subvene you say, “Where do you take it from?” But you know, simply if you’re willing to pay a higher tuition, room and board, we can do it. But as an economist and as someone who cares about social justice, I don’t find that compelling.” “I just met with (Vice President for Business and Finance) Gene Sunshine, and we’re talking about the things we can do. Maybe we can give really good subsidized parking and have all our staff have free passes. Maybe we can do a range of different benefits. That’s our moral responsibility. But I don’t really believe the simplicity of $13.23, and there’s good and there’s evil. The world should be so simple. As someone who has devoted his life to social justice, it bothers me a little to get some nasty e-mails about if I cared about the world from a 20-year-old who’s never done anything besides protest outside my window … If it were so easy, I would do it in a second.”

“The heart of our campaign is that we want workers to be fully included in the Northwestern community … For contract employers, even though they’re not employed by Northwestern, they work on our campus every day, and they interact with us every day. So we want them to be fully included in the community and have the same kinds of community benefits that Northwestern staff do, like library privileges, Northwestern shuttles, discounts at cultural and sporting events. And that’s something we are working with the administration on, and we believe it’s a first step in including these workers in our community.”

Subcontracted workers are not directly employed by the University

“I don’t have the budget in front of me. But I think we can be creative in terms of the ways of the cost of this Living Wage Campaign are shared or even measure in other areas, whether it’s some of the sustainability stuff we’re doing on campus or in other areas. We’d have to talk more to know specifics. I think there is some leverage because the contract Northwestern has with Sodexo is profitable … Northwestern is kind of in a position to negotiate with Sodexo and say, “We do have your business, but if you want to keep our business, you’re going to have to pay your workers these minimum standards.” … We know it is possible to fund this without placing significant financial burden on students.”

A living wage for all employees would cost students

“The reason we are doing this is because we want to hold (Schapiro) accountable to his words … We’re trying to create this kind of community, and then we’re also trying to uphold him to the rhetoric and the vision he has for this University, too. I don’t want him to think we think he’s this immoral person who doesn’t understand the economic justice or the moral value of this. I think he does … But I think that he should sit back and recognize we are not doing this to either antagonize him or because were naive. We’re trying to work and create the kind of community that we both want at this University.”

What is the next step for improving worker conditions?

Arts Alliance and Jewish Theater Ensemble explain funding By Lauren Mogannam The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/student-groups Although the Mee-Ow show, “The Mee-Ow Kids Solve a Murder at Chuck Fuffalo’s,� will premiere this weekend, Arts Alliance and the show’s producers have been preoccupied with fundraising for the last year. Arts Alliance and the Jewish Theater Ensemble often use creative funding techniques to meet their production budgets. The organizations also rely on past performances to gauge ticket sales for upcoming shows. Financial planning for an upcoming season for Arts Alliance shows begins before the current season ends, said Jason Margolis, Arts Alliance’s business manager. Arts Alliance produces four annual shows in addition to shows produced by its satellite groups, Mee-Ow, Thunk and Graffiti Dancers. Arts Alliance distributes funding based on net ticket sales from the previous year, the Communication senior said. “The budget for each show is how much we are willing to put on the line,� he said. Though Arts Alliance supplies initial budgets for each show, producers meet with the organization’s development director and business man-

ager to present a plan for how the money will be used for the show, Margolis said. Producers who want to spend additional money on the show are responsible for raising the funds, he said. Since Arts Alliance shows have budgets ranging from $500 to $60,000, each show comes with its own set of fundraising challenges, said Zachary Baer, producer of the Dolphin Show. “We have to look at the starting budget and see how much we need to raise in order to make the show happen,� the Communication senior said. Producers also apply for grants from University departments and the Center for Student Involvement, Baer said. Still, thank-a-thons or letter writing campaigns may be the most popular form of additional fundraising, he said. “Producers will write letters to friends and family of students involved telling them how they can make the show a reality,� he said. “It is central to the funding process because (the campaigns) target the key audience that wants to see us succeed.� Hosting concerts and date auctions also helps to publicize the show, Baer said. “There wasn’t a culture on campus for students to be involved,� he said. “These events have helped shows get money from peers and

have established a new form of publicity.� Unlike Arts Alliance, JTE shows do not receive a starting budget, said Kimberly Lewis, the group’s financial director. “Budgets are based on fundraising endeavors and estimations based on budgets and ticket sales from previous years,� the Communication senior said. “Each producer is responsible for fundraising to cover their own expenses.� The typical show budget for a production in the Shanley Pavilion, 2031 Sheridan Rd., is $2,000 to $5,000, Lewis said. In order to help individual shows, the JTE executive board offers a $1,000 loan as a “last resort safety net,� she said. “For every show you have a lot of money going out before it comes back in, but we have never lost a loan,� she said. “We can estimate fairly accurately because we use past budgets and fundraising totals as guidelines.� JTE producers write letters to friends and family of students involved with the play, apply for grants and work concession stands at football games, Lewis said. “Producers have had special events like a cabaret or a date auction,� she said. “All the proceeds from these events go toward their show.� While Arts Alliance and JTE approach funding differently, both are committed to putting on memorable performances for the Northwestern

Hotel Orrington to be rebranded as a Hilton hotel, not structurally replaced The Hotel Orrington will be converted into a Hilton hotel over several months but will retain many of its current services, General Manager Russ Abell said. After the hotel, located at 1710 Orrington Ave., announced its conversion to a Hilton, management received many calls from people concerned about the changes that will take place, Abell said. Many callers thought Hilton would be replacing, not rebranding the hotel, he said. Abell said the hotel will change its signs to reflect its renaming to the Hilton Orrington. In addition, the hotel will equip its fitness room with more exercise machines to fit the brand’s standards, he said. “(The hotel) will only be made better by the assets and resources by the Hilton hotel,â€? Abell said. Abell said the hotel will participate in Hilton’s reservation and guest services, including a frequent guest point program. “A major brand brings with it such a greater outreach to every segment in the market ‌ much more than an independent hotel,â€? Abell said. The hotel’s owner, Greenfield Partners, is converting the hotel into a Hilton after receiving a $14.5 million loan from Los Angeles-based lender Mesa West Capital. Seth Levin, an associate at Mesa West, told THE DAILY on Feb. 17 the hotel should be running as a full-service Hilton in several months and will remain open the entire time. Hilton also operates the Hilton Garden Inn, 1818 Maple Ave.

NEWS | THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN

New school zone speed law to give motorists warning week By Katie Park The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/evanston Evanston speeders are getting one week of grace. A law raising the penalties for speeding in school zones takes effect Friday, but violators will only be issued warning citations during the first week, Evanston Police Department Cmdr. Tom Guenther said. Under the Education Enforcement program, police will issue warning citations to violators of traffic laws until March 5, Guenther said. However, he said this does not include drivers in crashes or reckless or negligent drivers. “The goal is to raise awareness and get drivers to slow down and pay attention

when in Evanston,” Guenther said. “It’s not to collect money. It’s to raise awareness.” The new law raised the fine for speeding in a school zone from $150 to $500. Its guidelines for school zone speeds are the same: no more than 20 miles per hour in a designated zone between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on school days. Ald. Don Wilson (4th) proposed the law to the Evanston City Council earlier this month. Wilson said he received calls from residents concerned about speeders in school zones. “The reason for (the law) was to try to get drivers to be more compliant with school zones and speeding restrictions,” he said. “It’s a way to deter people from violating the laws and also get people’s attention to face it as an issue.”

“

The goal is to ... get drivers to slow down and pay attention when in Evanston.

Tom Guenther, EPD Cmdr.

Wilson said the city publicized the new law through the city’s Web site, blog and email listservs. “We’re doing our best to make sure everyone knows,” he said. Althea Ricketts, president of the Parent Teacher Association for Evanston/Skokie School District 65, told THE DAILY earlier this month she thought the law would benefit parents’ mental health in addition to their children’s safety. “I don’t know if it’ll have a direct impact on children, but I think it’ll give par-

ents a calmer sense when their children have to maneuver through crosswalks,” Ricketts said. Guenther said obeying traffic laws will make Evanston school zones safer for children. “If drivers pay attention to school zones, this will increase safety in school zones,” he said. Under the new law, speeding tickets will no longer be issued by the state, Guenther said. Instead of cases being heard at the Skokie Second Municipal District Courthouse, they will be heard in Evanston’s Division of Administrative Hearings, he said. Normal enforcement of the law will begin March 8. katie.park@u.northwestern.edu

NU research suggests link between good listening skills, playing music By Alex Rudansky The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/academics Students who play music have better listening skills, according to a recent study. The findings may change the way scientists identify and treat certain learning disabilities, said Northwestern Prof. Nina Kraus, who collaborated with members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for the study. Kraus, who teaches neurobiology, physiology and communication sciences, examined the effects musical experience has on everyday listening and language tasks, which include reading or listening in a noisy environment. Her lab conducted the study by measuring a person’s nervous system while they played music. “Musical training can refine the neural

processes that are important for everyday listening and language tasks,” Kraus said. The earlier a child starts to play an instrument, the better, she said. Although Dan Dozark, a Weinberg and Bienen freshman, has played the piano for 11 years, he said his listening abilities greatly improved since he took an aural skills class. “The class is actually supposed to help me train my ear to be able to recognize pitches through various dictation practice,” he said. “We slowly learn how to hear different notes and chords in the music through lots of practice and theory.” Music enhances listening skills through repetitive patterns and a process called “selective enhancement,” Kraus said. The research may help scientists understand certain learning disabilities, said Trent Nicol, the lab manager in Kraus’ lab. “The dimensions that are enhanced in

musicians are the same dimensions that are somewhat impaired in other populations, such as kids with reading disorders or people who have been diagnosed with having a particularly difficult time hearing speech and noise, despite perfectly normal hearing otherwise,” Nicol said. “Musical training could probably help some of these young kids who are having difficulty reading.” This is why school music programs are more important than ever, Kraus said. Programming cuts in Evanston/Skokie School District 65 threaten music programs, said Pam Ave Maria, the district’s music department chair. In the last seven years, the music program has been decreased from two 30 minute classes per week to one 40 minute class per week, she said. While the music curriculum has stayed, the method of teaching has been adjusted, she said.

“I can’t get nearly as much done as I can in one class than I can in two shorter class periods,” said Ave Maria, who also teaches music at Washington Elementary School. “With two separate classes, there’s more practice time for the children. There’s more remembering on their part on what they’ve done. You don’t have to start back on square one at the beginning of every week.” Nicol said he hopes the new research will strengthen school music programs. “Although we, as scientists, don’t really have our foot in the door of policymakers for the most part, we’re hoping that we can get the word out that music indeed is a very good thing,” he said. “It’s very important to have it in schools and to do whatever we can to get music into the lives of kids, especially those who do have some problems with reading.”

to the College Democrats for bringing former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to speak March 2 at NU. After speaking for 15 minutes, Blagojevich will answer questions from a faculty panel before the discussion is opened to students. While Blagojevich’s track record may make him unpopular to some in the NU community, the opportunity for students to ask questions and share opinions is rare and valuable. Having access to a public official, especially one as controversial as Blagojevich, is a unique opportunity NU students should take advantage of.

to NU’s School of Law for earning the No. 1 spot on The National Law Journal’s report. The School of Law has the highest percentage of students getting hired at the nation’s largest law firms, according to the report. Last year, the School of Law was ranked fifth in the report. Coming in at No. 1 not only brings attention to the school’s demanding programs and talented faculty, but it also indicates the school’s commitment to improvement. to the School of Continuing Studies for its new online degree programs. The online programs will allow students to get both undergraduate and graduate degrees from the comfort of their own homes. With the new programs, adult learners will have the chance to further their education without disrupting their daily lives. It’s a logical step to translate the rigor of NU academics to the digital world. The program will make NU relevant to a broader range of students while making it easier for users to reach high-level positions without inconvenience.

to the City of Evanston for applying to host an ultra-high speed Internet network built by Google. If Evanston is selected to participate in the network, users will have faster download speed. The city’s efforts indicate an interest in giving more people access to high-speed Internet. While Northwestern might not directly benefit from the project, increasing Internet access in the city could enhance the exchange of information between Evanston and the NU campus.

to the Housing Authority of Cook County for allowing residents of water damaged units to choose to stay in their apartments. After initially asking some residents to leave a public housing development following water damage, the HACC changed its decision after 18 residents signed a petition. The HACC’s change of heart prioritizes the residents’ needs while demonstrating a dedication to responding to their requests.

to Spring Quarter classes filling up quickly, causing students to be blocked out of registering for some classes. Students attempting to register this week faced full classes and waitlists particularly in the economics, art, Spanish and Portuguese departments. While students with declared majors and minors were accommodated during preregistration, others were unable to enroll in a number of courses. Registration should not be so tedious, frustrating and limiting. If students are handing over thousands of dollars in tuition, they should have the chance to take their choice of classes.

Analogies for the case against gay marriage Daily Columnist brenna helppie-schmieder

O

n a sober Tuesday night, I started drinking with my friend, Emmaline. We got to talking about the College Democrats bringing former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to campus. I told her despite his corruption, I was still sexually attracted to him. I asked her if she agreed, when she admitted she had a crush on me. I was really confused because I didn’t think Hispanic lesbians even existed. But her advancements made it obvious they did. Naturally I fled. Speaking of lesbians, the gays are in the news again. And I don’t like it. Look, I’m not homophobic. I have tons of gay friends (like Emmaline, apparently), I just don’t think gays should be afforded equal rights. Not in this day and age anyway. Before you send the theater majors after me, hear me out. Evolutionarily the point of we humans as a species is to have children. We’re supposed to increase the pop-

millennials

ulation. Gays can’t naturally do that. I’m not saying because they can’t, they shouldn’t be allowed to marry. But how about a compromise? If a gay couple wants hospital visitation rights, they have to adopt a child (from America). And if gays want to get married, they have to save one straight couple from divorcing, in order to keep the ratio intact. It’s a win-win. Look, I was as shocked as anyone when California voters said, “No” to gay marriage back in 2008, and Iowa said, “OK” last April. It didn’t seem to make any sense. Then Maine said, “No” last November and I didn’t know if that made sense because I don’t know much about Maine (except it has lobsters, am I right?). Then on Wednesday Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler declared, “State agencies in Maryland will recognize out-of-state marriages.” All this discrepancy between states confuses an issue that needs to be federalized. Let me explain with an analogy. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned as a social science major, it’s you can compare anything to anything and draw acceptable conclusions if your paper is long enough.

“multitasking”

Let’s consider prohibition: In the early 1900s, a number of states started enacting their own prohibition laws. Then 1920 rolled around, and the 18th Amendment became effective, making alcohol illegal federally. In the same way right now, a number of states are making gay marriage illegal. So it’s only a matter of time before we pass a federal amendment illegalizing homosexual marriage. See where I’m going with this? There’s an old saying: Do as the Australians do. And the Australian Senate voted down a gay marriage bill Thursday, keeping the institution of marriage sacred. Now I’m not dumb. I know the majority of Americans are pro-gay marriage. Here on campus the number of students who want marriage equality is sickeningly overwhelming. Fortunately for us in the minority, all these people do is hope and wish and assume one day gay marriage will be legal. But they don’t tend to do much about it. Not in this day and age anyway.

blog excerpts

We can’t ‘save’ Africa— Read the writing on it doesn’t work like that the bathroom walls Saving Africa has been fashionable for years now and doesn’t seem to be losing its cache. The campaign to rescue an entire continent from itself has been talked up by politicians, glamorized by celebrities from Bono to Brangelina, symbolized by companies on trendy shirts and bracelets and championed by idealistic college students across the country. But Nigerian author Uzodinma Iweala has a message for those in each of these categories: “Stop trying to ‘save’ Africa.” When Iweala’s article of the same name appeared in The Washington Post in 2007, it stirred up substantial controversy. In the article Iweala takes issue with the approach to helping African nations adopted by so many well intentioned but ignorant Westerners, especially bright-eyed college students with dreams of “saving the world.” However much we global health minors, GlobeMed members, international affairs majors and Amnesty International supporters would like to alleviate the undeniable conditions of poverty and violence present in many parts of Africa, there is so much wrong with the idea that we foreigners can “save Africa.” To say we can is to clump a collection of vastly different countries into the same category: the category of hopelessness and despair.

The best pieces of wisdom you’ll ever get are in the places where it makes no logical sense to find them. Of all the graffiti writing and desk engravings, nowhere is wisdom more surprisingly abundant than in bathroom stalls. Trying to be as light with imagery as possible, a bathroom stall by definition is a stationary, reflective encounter. From the moment people learned to write—or learned to write on walls—people have been diversifying the bathroom experience by sharing their wisdom on the stall walls. It is the closest thing we have to modern-day cave writing. Sure there are numerous times when I’ve been told, “F*** you” by someone who doesn’t even know me, but more often than not, I’m told something like, “Ate too much at Sargent, now I’m stuck here.” I think of this wise information every time I go to order my second banana foster and decide against it. Bathrooms are ideal for the transfer of knowledge because of their perverse nature. You have nothing to look at besides the wall, nothing to do but think about what you are seeing. Unless, of course, you are smart enough to bring a newspaper. It almost goes without saying bathrooms have a certain smell to them that politely suggests their occupants think about something other than the present reality.

Hiring of tenure-track faculty declines at NU

Suspects could face five years for hate crime

had little effect on NU’s financial ability to fill faculty vacancies, he said. In a report by The Chronicle of Higher Education last fall, 6 percent of mostly private surveyed institutions have completely frozen hiring, and 35 percent have imposed a partial freeze. A majority, 62 percent, reported the worst of their financial problems caused by the recession hadn’t passed. Private universities have fared better than public, said Schapiro, an expert in the financing of higher education. “There are not that many people out there, so if you can figure out the resources to hire, you can really get good people,� he said. “And that’s what we’ve been doing.� The Department of Spanish and Portuguese is actively recruiting, said Josef Barton, chairperson of the department. “We’re in a time of constraints on hiring, but they approved this search,� Barton said. “The University and this college department is aware of the challenges of enrollment.� The department has recently faced stu-

hate crime, page 1 “The only way I could get them to stop was to smear blood on at least two of their faces,� Hauff said. “I told them I was HIVpositive, which isn’t true, so I didn’t put them at any risk. Then they were so busy getting my blood off their faces that they were still in the station and were able to be caught.� The three suspects appeared in court Thursday where they were taken into custody on $10,000 bail, according to a Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office press release. The case will come to court March 17. If convicted, the suspects could face five years in prison. “We want the story told for people to realize this still happens in 2010, and it’s unacceptable to violate anyone’s body,� Hauff said. “That’s why I came forward.� gracejohnson2007@u.northwestern.edu

dent criticism because classes and waitlists filled up quickly. Although a search for a replacement faculty member began years ago, it hasn’t been successful, Young said. “Budgetary concerns have not affected the search for a replacement,� he said. Interdisciplinary departments without large core faculties, such as International Studies, have more difficulty with faculty searches than budget constraints, Young said. “It’s difficult to find just the right person to fit an interdisciplinary bridge,� he said. “It might be more related to trying to find the right person.� While the University is responding to departmental needs in hiring new faculty, there has been a reduction in hiring tenure-track faculty, Young said. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, tenure for new faculty has been

in “relative decline.â€?Five years ago the University hired 65 tenure-track faculty, but last year, it hired only 52, Young said. Young said he expects less than 50 tenure-track faculty to be hired this year, depending on how successful current faculty searches are. But he said economic considerations have not prevented existing faculty members from receiving tenure at NU. Although NU is in an ideal economic situation for hiring new faculty, Schapiro said he is morally conflicted about private schools taking advantage of budget cuts at public research universities in order to recruit. Still, it’s much easier to hire “superstarsâ€? from schools like those in the University of California system now than it was two years ago, and it’s in NU’s best interest to recruit, he said. “We’re out there hiring, taking advantage of the opportunities,â€? Schapiro said. “You can tell I feel very mixed feelings about that, but I’m glad we are hiring in general ‌ There’s not a lot of competition out there, so it’s nice to see NU out there.â€? jessicaallen2012@u.northwestern.edu

Buckeyes top Cats behind 17-0 run to start second half Women’s Basketball, page 12 stanza with a 17-0 run from which the Cats were unable to respond. NU only managed 19 points after intermission. “I was thinking that we had to do what we did in the first half again,� junior center Amy Jaeschke said. “But it didn’t quite work out that way.� Jaeschke led the way for the Cats, finishing with 22 points. Other than Jaeschke, Hackney was the only NU A lot of our shots player in double figweren’t falling. We ures, recording 11 and seven redidn’t find the flow points bounds.

The last time the in-state rivals met, the Fighting Illini demolished the Cats 81-50. Depending on several other Sunday matchups around the conference, another loss to Illinois could bump NU down to the eight or nine seed in the Big Ten Tournament. If that were the case, NU could end up facing top-seeded Ohio State again next week.

Shurna’s shooting spurs NU’s early advantage Men’s Basketball, page 12 forced the Hawkeyes into several traveling violations, a shot clock violation, a three-second violation and multiple offensive fouls. “Today the matchup was so fun to play in,� Nash said. “The coaches went to work all week on guarding Iowa, and it worked to perfection for us tonight.� Coach Bill Carmody made a conscious decision to stick with the matchup zone after recently insisting on playing the 1-3-1 zone in losses at Iowa and against Penn State. “It’s hard to be real aggressive in that—it’s more like you’re guessing and playing passing lanes,� Carmody said. “I wanted to get back to moving our feet

there, the Cats just had to hold on. “You do not want to come from behind against Northwestern,� Lickliter said. “They don’t turn it over, they backdoor you, they’re patient, so it’s a team that you’ve got to execute early on and for whatever reason, early, we were not able to execute.� NU built its lead up to as much as 25 over the course of the second half, but sloppy play allowed Iowa to cut its deficit to 12 with 3:58 left. But it didn’t end up costing the Cats on a night when they outplayed their opponents. “We struggled to defend, we threw it away, and we didn’t shoot it very well,� Lickliter said. “That’s pretty much a formula for what happened.�

and keeping our body in front of the dribbler.� NU faced no resistance offensively from Iowa. The Cats shot 63 percent in the first half, as Shurna hit 7-of-9 from the field with three 3-pointers. Shurna’s shooting opened up the inside for the Cats, as they were able to exploit the overplaying Hawkeyes for backdoor cuts, finishing the game with 21 assists. “We were not able to dictate at all defensively,� Iowa coach Todd Lickliter said. “If you deny anything out of the 3-point line or beyond, you get backdoored, so you better stay back and watch the backdoor, but we weren’t able to do that.� The Cats were up 20 as early as the seven-minute mark of the first half, and entered the break ahead 39-19.

Hawkeyes’ unforced turnovers lead to blowout loss sidebar, page 12 any shot they wanted. They were less comfortable tonight.� After taking advantage of the Cats’ 1-3-1 zone in the 78-65 win earlier this season, the Hawkeyes didn’t go up against it at all in the rematch. Carmody decided his team needed to get back to the basics of “moving our feet and keeping our body in front of the dribbler� in the matchup zone. That philosophy helped put Iowa in a 39-19 hole at intermission. “Our defense was the difference,� said sophomore forward John Shurna, who tallied a game-high 29 points. “That first half at Iowa, we were giving up a lot of 3s, and we were fighting back the whole time. Tonight we got off to a good start, and our defense was really key for us. It

“They probably had 10 backdoor layups, whereas at Iowa City, there might have been one backdoor (cut).� Offense hasn’t been an issue for NU during its recent skid, and it maintained its hot shooting against Iowa. The Cats made 22-of-30 attempts from inside the arc, and four of their five starters shot at least 60 percent. NU’s next contest, a road trip to Penn State on Sunday, features the same storyline as the win over Iowa. The Nittany Lions lit up the Cats’ 1-3-1 defense and scored 81 points, their highest output of the Big Ten season, en route to their first conference win last week. Considering how well NU’s adjustments worked Thursday, expect Carmody to continue to emphasize defensive fundamentals.

pushed us forward and made our offense better.� The Hawkeyes didn’t exactly offer a formidable challenge. They had 10 turnovers by halftime and 14 in all, but most were unforced—the Cats made just three steals. Iowa’s best post presence, sophomore forward Aaron Fuller, picked up two fouls in the first eight minutes and eventually fouled out. His backup, Andrew Brommer, was even worse—the 6-foot-9 sophomore played nine minutes and was called for five fouls. Those inside struggles allowed NU to outscore Iowa 38-20 in the paint. The Cats had no trouble driving to the hoop, looking like the Harlem Globetrotters in comparison to the unathletic Hawkeyes. “They got to the spots where they wanted to, they passed the ball where they wanted to, and where they wanted to go was at the basket,� Lickliter said.

THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN | SPORTS

Wildcats remain nation’s best behind leadership from lefty senior By Katherine Driessen The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/womens-tennis Lauren Lui’s nickname, “Speeds,” is an apt description of the way she maneuvers the court. The left-handed senior is known for her quick, bold play. But if you ask the team, there’s more to Lui’s name than meets the eye. Lui may cover the court at Women’s high speeds, but ironically, the Houston-native is better Tennis known among her teammates for her lack of pace. Lui’s tendency to walk several strides behind her teammates to class prompted her future doubles partner, Georgia Rose, to teasingly dub her “Speeds” as a freshman. “She does everything slowly and methodi-

cally and is very deliberate in everything she does,” coach Claire Pollard said. “What’s ironic about her is that she’s this unbelievably risky sort of tennis player, which does not fit in with her personality at all.” Lui’s dynamic play has helped No. 1 Northwestern jumpstart its campaign for the NCAA championship. Lui posted a 4-0 singles record at the ITA Team Indoor Championships and earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors. In last weekend’s loss at No. 17 Notre Dame, NU showed signs of fatigue after a grueling ITA schedule. With no lag in the schedule, the Wildcats will have to gear up to face Illinois on Friday and Georgia Tech on Sunday. Lui’s endurance and leadership will continue to be an asset in light of the tough schedule, Pollard said. “I’m not so sure I have always been a natural leader; I have sort of just picked up things from the older girls in past years,” Lui said. “But I

have always tried to lead by example, and that’s what Sam and I are trying to do this season.” Lui has been leading on the court since freshman year, when she posted a perfect dual record in the Big Ten. In her sophomore year, Lui was paired with Rose, and the duo reached the quarterfinals of the NCCA Doubles Championship in 2009. They were both named ITA All-Americans in doubles for their performance. Now that Rose has graduated, Pollard is looking for the right doubles partner for Lui at the No. 1 spot. Her experience and strong lefthanded volleys make her a coveted partner. Lui has played most of her matches with sophomore Elena Chernyakova. The duo delivered an impressive win in the finals of the ITA tournament, coming from behind to take down North Carolina’s No. 6 doubles team in the nation. “She’s a really great partner to play with both because of how she plays and the way she is

mentally on the court,” Chernyakova said. “Anyone is lucky to get to play with her.” With none of the doubles teams from last year still intact, Pollard has spent much of the preseason trying to find the most effective pairings. In singles play the Cats posted just two wins at Notre Dame last weekend—one from Chernyakova and one from Lui. But strong performances in the ITA final against No. 12 UNC from junior Maria Mosolova and senior Samantha Murray gives NU momentum as they take on two unranked teams this weekend. “Our best performance this season was at the ITAs, and that was because every single player stepped up to offer something,” Pollard said. “We need leadership from players like Lauren, but at the end of the day, everyone has to contribute.” katherinedrissen2012@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern striving to stop recent road struggles against Princeton By Jonah L. Rosenblum The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/mens-tennis Mark Schanerman has had an impressive start to his collegiate tennis career at Northwestern. The freshman Men’s Tennis broke three match points in a comeback that gave NU an upset win over No. 18 Alabama. After the Wildcats lost three straight, he helped the team get back on track with the clinching victory at No. 5 singles against then-No. 75 Western Michigan. Schanerman is now 5-1 on the season, including a perfect 4-0 from the No. 6 spot. He also won his only doubles match when he teamed with senior captain Alex Sanborn. “I’ve been playing pretty well but I still have a long way to go,” Schanerman said. “As the season goes on, I’m probably going to play better, and it will keep translating into success.” The Cats have benefitted from near-perfect

performances from their No. 5 and No. 6 singles spots. While their top four spots have gone 18-17, their bottom two spots have finished 12-2. “We have tremendous depth,” coach Arvid Swan said. “We have nine good players and our guys are very close in terms of one through nine. There’s not a big disparity, so the guys I put in to play five and six are similar levels to the guys who play one through four. The depth has helped us win at the lower spots in the lineup the last couple years.” For all the success NU (6-3) has had this season, it has yet to win a game away from the Combe Tennis Center. There has been a stark contrast between the team’s play at home and on the road. No. 44 NU started its season with four wins at home, including a 4-3 win over then-No. 18 Alabama. But when the Cats left home, things turned ugly. NU lost three straight on the road, including a 6-1 loss to then-No. 48 Vanderbilt. The Cats will be seeking their first road win of

the season Saturday against No. 75 Princeton. Princeton (2-3) got off to a rough start to its season, getting blown out in three of its first four matches, all on the road. Overall the Tigers have been outscored 25-10 this season. Princeton recorded a big victory its last time on the court, winning its home opener against St. John’s 4-3. “They’ve got some strong players and so we’ve got to be ready to go,” Swan said. “I’m expecting a tough match....I know we’re going to have to play well.” After playing five matches in a 14-day span earlier in the season, the Cats haven’t played in a competitive match since their Feb. 13 victory over Middle Tennessee State. When they take the court against Princeton, it will have been two weeks since NU last competed. “A match is different than practice, but we’ll be OK in that regard,” Swan said. “We haven’t played a match in a little bit but hopefully we can get through the rust pretty quick.” The time off has also helped the team get

healthy. The Cats expect to have junior Andrew McCarthy back for this weekend and are also looking for improved play from sophomore Josh Graves, who has lost his last three singles matches while being hampered by a leg injury. After two weeks of rest and practice, Graves said he’s 100 percent and expects his team to come out strong, regardless of the down time. “Our first match was Ball State and we came out ready to go and we hadn’t played a match since the previous year,” Graves said. “We’ve been playing a lot of practice matches. We compete hard against each other as well, so it almost feels like a real match out here.” On the doubles side, the Cats hope to see continued strong play from Graves and Sanborn. The duo is 4-1 from the No. 2 slot. “We’re a good combo,” Graves said. “I’m lefty, he’s righty. He’s really quick at net and I bring the big serve. We both have pretty solid returns. We make a good team.” jonahrosenblum2012@u.northwestern.edu

Sophomores look to continue history of strong second seasons By Brian Chappatta The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/lacrosse On a team labeled young and inexperienced, Shannon Smith is proving age is just a number. After scoring 33 goals last season, the sophomore attacker racked up LACROSSE six scores and three assists in No. 1 Northwestern’s season-opening 18-6 win against Massachusetts. Smith moved to attack this season, joining All-American seniors Katrina Dowd and Danielle Spencer. “We’re more of a dynamic offense this year,� Smith said. “Everybody can do everything: We can all feed, we can all cut, we can all shoot. That helps us, to know we can all work together well.� Though Smith is less decorated than her teammates on attack, if history is any indication, she is poised for a breakout season. Spencer’s scoring skyrocketed from 11 goals in her fresh-

man year to 59 in her sophomore campaign. Dowd’s production similarly increased, notching 40 goals as a sophomore to 17 as a freshman. Dowd said freshmen tend to overthink on the field rather than let the game come to them. With a year—and a National Championship— under their belts, sophomores take on a more important role. “In sophomore year you have experience, and you’re really looked upon,� Dowd said. “When our juniors and seniors have all the attention on them, it’s up to the younger players to take it off them.� With her nine-point performance against UMass, Smith has forced opponents to notice her. If opponents concentrate too much on Dowd and Spencer, coach Kelly Amonte Hiller knows the “battle-tested� Smith will make them pay. “She got a lot of confidence last year, and she’s really feeling great about where she’s at and what she can achieve at this level,� Amonte Hiller said. “She’s connecting well with the

NU takes on No. 15 Stanford on Friday, a team that boasts 15 upperclassmen returning from last season’s squad. The Cardinal was left out of the NCAA tournament despite knocking off No. 3 Penn in its final game of the season. The Wildcats will conclude their West Coast trip Sunday when they face the Golden Bears. California is one of the few teams on NU’s schedule not ranked in the top-20. Amonte Hiller said it is a challenge to travel across the country to another team’s home field. For the Cats to return to Evanston with a 3-0 record, they will need production from their surging sophomores. “You can’t play younger just because you’re a sophomore, and that’s what you’re labeled as—you have one year of experience, and that’s plenty,� Dowd said. “It’s easy to think that this is all on the seniors, but this is a whole team, and it’s going to take everybody.�

other attackers on the team, so she’s feeling like she can go out there and do her thing.� Another sophomore stepping into a larger role is goalkeeper Brianne LoManto, who is splitting time with junior Darby St. Clair-Barrie to fill the void left by Morgan Lathrop, who graduated last year. LoManto had some game experience from last year, playing in 11 games and recording nine saves. LoManto said one of the toughest adjustments as a freshman was figuring out Amonte Hiller’s system, since players come from various high school schemes. With the current sophomore class’s experience, LoManto said she expects them to step up this season and bridge the gap between the upperclassmen and freshmen. “The biggest thing is being able to relate to the freshmen. We can feel closer to the freshman class because we just recently came out of their shoes,� LoManto said. “(The sophomores) also feel a little closer to the rest of team as well.�

Cats foucused on consistent play in upcoming California tournament By David Uberti The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/softball Northwestern’s 2010 season has been a 10game roller coaster. After the Wildcats won their first two games at the Kajikawa Classic in Arizona, they SOFTBALL dropped five in a row. No. 23 NU came surging back and now sits at an even 5-5 after outscoring their last three opponents 23-5. This inconsistency is what coach Kate Drohan’s squad will be looking to turn around this weekend at the Cathedral City Classic in California. The tournament, hosted by by Oregon State University, is made up of 30 teams, including 12 of the top 25 squads in the nation.

The Cats take on Pacific and No. 10 Stanford Friday in a day-night doubleheader. NU faces Cal Poly and No. 5 UCLA Saturday, then finishes the weekend Sunday afternoon against UC Davis. NU will look to step up its performance early in the tournament matchups. The Cats are 2-4 when their opponents score first. “We’re giving up too many runs early in the game,� Drohan said. “We’re giving up too many bases defensively.� Gaining consistency will start with the pitching staff. The Cats allowed 12 runs in their first two games at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic last weekend and then gave up only five runs in their next three contests. The pressure to shore up the staff is hightened because of upcoming matchups against Stanford (8-1) and UCLA (10-1). Stanford has a team batting average of .378 through its

first nine games, while UCLA has outscored its opponents 95-10. Though senior ace Lauren Delaney will lead the pitching attack this weekend, junior Jessica Smith and freshman Meghan Lamberth have emerged as strong options to take the mound. Smith in particular has given NU more flexibility with its staff, going 3-0 with a 1.62 ERA so far in 2010. Against UNLV on Saturday, Smith tossed a three-hit shutout in the Cats’ 8-0 victory. “We’ve been mixing it up a lot and splitting games, trying to keep teams off balance,� Smith said. The offense has hinged on senior catcher Emily Haug, who is hitting .407 with 11 RBIs this season. “Haug has been our quiet giant here these last two weekends,� Drohan said. “She’s

been incredibly consistent for us. Anyone in the lineup who gets hot and comes up with that one big, clutch hit at the right time can really spark a whole lot of offense for us.� Sophomore Adrienne Monka’s continued success will also be essential for the Cats to extend their three-game winning streak. The first baseman hit .583 with a 1.417 slugging percentage last weekend in Las Vegas and earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors. It is the second year in a row Monka has won the award following a weekend tournament in Sin City. “It’s just a good vibe I get in Vegas,� Monka said. For the lineup to stay hot against two top-10 teams this weekend, Monka can’t let what happened in Vegas stay in Vegas.

Back on track: NU crushes Iowa Cats clamp down on D to win rematch

By Rodger Sherman The Daily Northwestern dailynorthwestern.com/mens-basketball For a while, it looked like John Shurna might outscore Iowa by himself. The sophomore forward couldn’t miss from the start, driving, finishing on alley-oops and hitting from downtown, to record 18 of his 28 points in the first half. Meanwhile the Hawkeyes sputtered, and entered the intermission down 20 after scoring 19 points in the first half. “Early Men’s on it was Basketball just the offense NU flowing well, and my teammates were findIowa ing me in scoring position,” Shurna said. “Offensively we’ve been able to find mismatches.” Iowa (9-19, 3-12 Big Ten) eventually outpaced Shurna, but never managed to catch Northwestern, losing a one-sided contest 74-57. The win was the Wildcats’ 18th of the season, setting a record for the most singleseason victories in NU history. NU (18-10, 7-9) never looked troubled by Iowa at any point in the game. After the Hawkeyes scored the first basket on a layup following a near shot clock violation, the Cats rattled off six straight points and never relinquished the lead. Iowa looked outmatched early on, turning the ball over 10 times in the opening period. NU played a matchup zone defense with senior Jeremy Nash and junior Michael Thompson occasionally providing three-quarter court pressure, a defensive gameplan that made the Hawkeyes look out of sync.

Scoring at will: Sophomore forward John Shurna shoots over Iowa’s Brennan Cougill. Shurna scored 28 points in NU’s 74-57 victory, which set a school record for wins in a season with 18.

This is how Iowa was supposed to play two weeks ago. The Hawkeyes shot less than 15 percent from 3-point range, recorded more turnovers than assists and fell behind by 20 before the end of the first half. The same team that beat Northwestern handily at home lost to the Wildcats 74-57 Thursday night in a game that was even more lopsided than the score indicated. “I don’t remember exactly the phrase (NU coach Bill Carmody) used when he came to Iowa City, something like, ‘We got slapped pretty good,’ but they sure returned the favor,” Iowa coach Todd Lickliter said. “I’ve got to give them a lot of credit for responding the way they did, but that’s what you would expect from a well-coached team that has pride. They came out executing flawlessly.” In NU’s near-comeback victory at Wisconsin last weekend, it amped up the pressure defensively to chip away at the lead. The Cats employed a similar strategy against the Hawkeyes at the beginning of Thursday’s contest. The momentum from the second half in Madison, Wisc., carried over, and NU defended Iowa’s guards in the backcourt to control the tempo and dictate the style of play. “(We wanted to) go out there and press them a little bit, just to see if we could get the aggression going,” Carmody said. “I don’t think we bothered them too much, but they turned it over once or twice. (In Iowa), they got

Sole performer: Junior center Amy Jaeschke accounted for nearly half of NU’s scoring against No. 10 Ohio State, recording 22 points.

Thursday just wasn’t Northwestern’s night in Columbus. Rather it was Senior Night for No. 10 Ohio State, and the Buckeyes made sure to send their seniors out in style. The combination of sophomore point guard Samantha Prahalis and junior center Jantel Lavender proved too much for the Cats, as the pair of Naismith Trophy candidates combined for 40 points and led Ohio State to a 78-47 win over NU. “Everyone’s pretty disappointed,” senior guard Kristin Cartwright said. “We know we had opportunities that we didn’t take tonight.” After losing their first home game of the season Sunday, the Buckeyes (27-4, 15-3 Big Ten) were looking to avoid dropping consecutive contests at Value Center Arena for the first time since 2004. Meanwhile the Cats (16-12, 7-10) were

trying to extend their conference winning streak to three, which no NU team had done since 1997. Even with momentum on their side, the Cats came out flat. Their defense had trouble stopping the highest-scoring team in the Big Ten, while their ofWomen’s fense Basketball opened No. 10 Ohio State the game 2-for-13 from the field. Ohio NU State took advantage of NU’s poor start, sprinting out to a 20-4 advantage. “A lot of our shots weren’t falling,” Cartwright said. “We didn’t find the flow on offense initially, and our defense wasn’t sound

enough.” Junior center Amy Jaeschke ended the Buckeyes’ run with a layup midway through the half. Then it was the Cats’ turn to make a run. Junior point guard Beth Marshall nailed a 3-pointer with six minutes left in the period to pull NU within seven. Two minutes later Marshall found sophomore forward Brittany Orban on the perimeter, and Orban calmly sank a 3 to cut the deficit to six. On the Cats’ ensuing possession, freshman forward Kendall Hackney laid out Buckeyes guard Amber Stokes on a screen, freeing up Marshall to drive in for an uncontested layup. “(Marshall) tried to keep us in it,” Cartwright said. “But everyone needed to build off that, and we weren’t able to.” NU cut Ohio State’s lead to five at the end of the first half, but that was as close as it would get. The Buckeyes opened the second
