Students upset over Kanazawa Holloway signals controversial researcher will stay By CAMERON COOK

daily senior staffer @cam_e_cook

Students are voicing their concerns about the impact of controversial visiting scholar Satoshi Kanazawa’s presence and research after Northwestern signaled it would not remove Kanazawa from campus. Kanazawa — whose works bear titles such as “Why Are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women?” — is spending his year-long sabbatical from the London School of Economics on Northwestern’s Evanston campus. Provost Jonathan Holloway said Kanazawa is not being paid, teaching or collecting research data, but did not clarify what Kanazawa is doing. Once students became aware of the subject matter of Kanazawa’s research, calls for his removal spread fast. Weinberg junior Deborah Shoola posted a Change.org petition during Fall Quarter

which received over 5,200 signatures. The petition stated that if the University was committed to maintaining a safe environment for all students, Kanazawa should be asked to leave. In response to student concerns, Holloway sent an email Dec. 13 clarifying that while Kanazawa’s views are “antithetical” to Northwestern’s values, he will remain on campus for the remainder of the academic year because he is “entitled to express his personal views.” Communication junior Melia Agudelo said it was “crazy” that the University allowed Kanazawa to conduct research on campus in the first place. However, she said she more frustrated when she read Holloway’s email about why the University chose to let Kanazawa stay. “The way they made it seem like they were supporting the student body and then saying ‘Oh, we’re going to keep him on campus’ was pretty counterintuitive,” Agudelo said. “By saying to the students that they hear them but not actually doing anything about it, I thought » See REACTION, page 8

Fitz leads NU to Holiday Bowl win Despite Packers’ interest, coach reaffirms commitment to Northwestern By BEN POPE

daily senior staffer @benpope111

SAN DIEGO — Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald stood in pouring rain here, the

victor of a game his team once trailed by 17 points, his third bowl win in as many years at a program that had previously won only two in its history. He was living a real-life juxtaposition. The coach then delivered

eight words that may have even more significance to this Wildcats program than Monday’s stirring Holiday Bowl win. “I’m not going anywhere,” he said. “This is home forever.” Rumors that the Green Bay Packers are interested in

Fitzgerald to become their next head coach have swirled for weeks, and even though the 13-year-and-counting NU boss has rebuked inquiries from blue-blood college programs like » See FITZGERALD, page 8

Patterson resigns, Ash to NU voices opposition to step in as ASG president stricter visa regulations Former president will focus on well-being, education

Brief: Rules would make the U.S. ‘less welcoming’

By ELIZABETH BYRNE

By CATHERINE KIM

Sky Patterson has resigned from her position as the Associated Student Government president. ASG announced Patterson’s resignation on Thursday. In a resignation letter dated Dec. 16, the Weinberg senior said she resigned to focus on her health and academics. “I am resigning today to take care of my own well-being, to focus on my work and education, and to give myself the freedom to explore my passions outside of Northwestern,” Patterson wrote. In the letter, Patterson wrote that too often students sacrifice their own well-being for their organization and that student leaders should set the example and establish well-being as a priority. She added that her resignation should signal to the administration that it needs to take students’ mental health more seriously.

Northwestern signed an amicus brief along with 65 schools last week opposing changes to visa policies that make it easier to bar international students and scholars from reentering the country. The amicus brief supports Guilford College in its lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s move to change rules that govern how visaholders violate the terms of their visa. This new policy would make it easier for students to receive unlawful presence status, which would hold “destructive and harmful consequences,” according to the brief. “The Policy Memorandum thus confronts international students and exchange visitors with severe and disproportionate penalties for any regulatory violation,” the brief read.

Prior to this policy, unlawful presence began after the visa-holder was notified of an alleged violation of status. This new policy, however, allows the government to retroactively start dates for unlawful presence, such as the day after the completion of one’s degree. This can lead to visa-holders unknowingly being banned from the country due to technical and administrative errors because they were not notified in advanced. This change would affect about 4,000 international students and 1,600 visiting scholars at Northwestern. Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa can be barred from the country for up to ten years. This can hurt international students’ ability to stay and work in the country, said Ravi Shankar, director of the International Office. “International students and scholars are under heavy compliance burden,” Shankar said. “And this really is such

an added stress to everything else they have to deal with.” The brief argues that such changes will lead to “significant and destructive uncertainty,” which threatens a system that depends on stability and orderly administration. As international students and scholars continue to face such uncertainty, the U.S. will no longer be a desirable destination for the world’s best talent, according to the brief. “Rule changes such as this make the United States a less welcoming place for international study and have a demonstrable impact on international interest in American higher education,” the brief said. Such loss of international talent is a harm to higher education institutions and the larger U.S. economic society, the brief argued.

Demitrous Cook sworn in as chief of Evanston police By ASHLEY CAPOOT

the daily northwestern @ashleycapoot

Evanston’s new police chief Demitrous Cook was sworn in on Wednesday morning during a brief but emotional ceremony at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center. Cook was selected for the position after a nationwide search that began when former police chief Richard Eddington announced his plan to retire in 2018. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz told The Daily that he hopes Cook will help the police force continue to grow in years to come. “Chief Eddington, who retired at the end of December, put together an outstanding force over his 11-plus years as police chief,” Bobkiewicz said. “I fully expect that Chief Cook will continue that good tradition, do it in a way that’s safe and do it in a way that’s respectful to all.” Cook has worked in law enforcement for 37 years and had served as chief of police in the Glenwood Police Department since 2010. However, Cook is no stranger to Evanston, as he spent 26 years of his career in the Evanston Police Department. “He spent an entire career with us before he retired as a deputy chief, so those community connections remain,” Bobkiewicz said. “There were many members of the Evanston community present this morning, so I think that he’s

going to be able to pick up right where he left off after he retired several years ago.” Hazel Crest police chief Mitchell Davis, Cook’s colleague from the South Suburban Association of Chiefs of Police, spoke at Cook’s swearing in-ceremony and read a proclamation from the organization’s president and executive board. The proclamation recognized Cook’s accomplishments and dubbed Dec. 20, 2018 as Demitrous Cook Day.

Bobkiewicz said he was impressed by the amount of support Cook received from his colleagues at the event. “It was an outstanding affair. There were police chiefs and police executives from all over Northern Illinois there to honor and recognize Chief Cook,” said Bobkiewicz. “The outpour of support from his colleagues really helped solidify the right choices we made in hiring Chief Cook as our new police chief.”

To conclude the ceremony, Cook asked his tearful mother to help him pin on his badge, and he made a brief statement to express his gratitude toward his former colleagues and Evanston. “I want to thank the City of Evanston for trusting me. I’m going to do the best job I can do,” Cook said. “I’m glad to be here, thank you.”

The men reported that a Samsung Galaxy cell

Beta Theta Pi members vacate house By PRANAV BASKAR

the daily northwestern @pranav_baskar

Members of Northwestern’s chapter of Beta Theta Pi have been forced to relocate from the fraternity’s on-campus house, a consequence of the group’s 4-year suspension announced in December. This has meant different things for different members of the fraternity. Since sophomores are required to meet Northwestern’s two-year livein requirement, many fraternity members were moved into Foster-Walker Complex — the only living option offered by NU to accommodate sophomores affected by the suspension, said McCormick sophomore Kyle Chisholm, Beta president. Chisholm said older students, on the other hand, worked to find places to stay off-campus or moved into apartments with friends. The relocation process comes on the heels of a lengthy dispute between the fraternity and the school. After the University initially notified Beta of its suspension in November — for serving alcohol to minors — the fraternity appealed the

Acceptance rate falls to 25 percent for Early Decision applicants

Northwestern’s Early Decision acceptance rate dropped to about 25 percent as applications during the early admission cycle continue to rise. The total number of applications rose about 9 percent to 4,399 this year, associate provost for University enrollment Michael Mills said in an email. Last year saw an increase of Early Decision applications by 6 percent to about 4,050. The admitted Early Decision students are

decision, which failed. It wasn’t until Dec. 11 that NU announced the official suspension of the chapter. Weinberg sophomore Samuel Passarelli, Beta’s social chair, said the University’s notice gave fraternity members very little time to organize themselves. “The time frame [NU] gave us was just ridiculous,” Passarelli said. “We were meant to move out during finals week or immediately once we got back.” The house has been locked since Dec. 18. NU scheduled designated times for chapter members to retrieve their belongings from the building and move out. According to a University release, Beta’s suspension will last four years. In that time, the fraternity will be banned from hosting events and recruiting members. As it currently stands, this is non-negotiable. Emerson Carlson, a Weinberg sophomore and member of Beta, said the University’s procedure for dealing with the relocation was inconvenient. The fraternity found out its appeal status only three days before winter break began, upon which members were barred from entering the house. “Since we’ve gotten back, we’ve only had

periods to access the building — this Wednesday and this past Sunday — which doesn’t coincide well for students who reached Evanston late due to travel plans or have classes during the week,” he said. Travis Martin, director of Fraternity and Sorority Life, could not be immediately reached for comment. By Wednesday, most Beta members will be moved into their new homes for the year. But the implications of their relocating may be long-lasting. One is financial. Chisholm said that living in Foster-Walker is more expensive than living in the Beta house, especially when the University meal plan is taken into account. He said these difficulties have negatively impacted the mental health of some members, adding that brothers were upset to lose out on the opportunity to live with one another in a shared space. Passarelli said he’s unimpressed with Northwestern’s lack of attention to individual students during the relocation process. “It was just really clear that they wanted us gone,” Passarelli said.

expected to fill about 53 to 54 percent of next fall’s incoming class, dean of undergraduate admission Christopher Watson told The Daily in an email. Mills said NU accepted about 25 percent of Early Decision applicants this year. Since 2000, NU and many of its peer elite schools have seen a decrease in early admission acceptance rates because of rising application numbers. According to Northwestern’s Common Data Set, the Early Decision acceptance rate has decreased over the past 18 years as the number of applications increased. In 2008, the acceptance rate for the class of 2012 Early Decision applications was about 39.7 percent. Prospective students applying to NU face higher acceptance rates for Early Decision

applications versus regular decision. Data from NU’s Common Data Set for the class of 2022 shows a 26 percent acceptance rate for Early Decision applicants compared to an 6.4 acceptance rate for regular decision applicants that year. Th e admitted students are “wonderfully diverse,” Mills added, with about 54 percent of admitted students from underrepresented backgrounds or outside the U.S. He said he anticipates about 20 percent of the students will qualify for a Federal Pell Grant.

My goal to cultivate diversity, inclusion at The Daily MARISSA MARTINEZ

OPINION EDITOR

It’s something opinion editors, and The Daily itself, has said, time and time again — we’re committed to doing better. That’s a statement marginalized people have heard since the beginning of time. Empty promises from teachers, friends, organizations and corporations, all promising a shiny, new “better” backed only by air. This quarter will truly be different. My campaign to diversify and uplift the opinion section is not only fueled by an endearing hope for change, but also by anger and frustration.

I am one of two black editors this quarter and one of a few Latinx ones. Based on our diversity report last year, our staff was woefully under-representative of the Northwestern undergraduate population. That’s not a new trend for The Daily, and it’s not getting better. That’s upsetting for many reasons. First of all, it means we don’t have a lot of diverse reporters and columnists in the room to pitch stories, interview people and write pieces for us. The value of inclusion at this level cannot be overstated. Having a variety of backgrounds

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Northwestern needs to stop ignoring its students

After receiving more than 4,000 signatures in petition to remove a racist researcher, Satoshi Kanazawa, from the Northwestern guest scholars’ program, the University has answered with a resounding no. Kanazawa’s research adds to the longstanding myth of black inferiority, so it does not matter that he has “less than a year remaining” or that he is not “getting paid by the University,” as Provost Jonathan Holloway communicated in an email to students last week. It matters that

present at the very beginning of a story means the angle will be as specific as possible. From there, the writer can use learned context and experiences to influence how they interview and produce the piece, making the final product more nuanced and informative. However, having a diverse staff means nothing without requiring the same of an editorial board. Editors are the last stop before publication — they are expected to not only adjust the grammar and style, but also to have the foresight for potentially broader issues. They should regularly educate themselves on a variety of viewpoints and perspectives and make sure they communicate the truth, rather than the stereotypes that plague our campus, city and country. But right now, we don’t have the requisite diversity in our writing base or editing staff at The Daily. Don’t get me wrong — I have met many wonderful individuals at this paper and read some amazing work over the past two years. That doesn’t negate our problem. This anger and frustration will stay with me for the rest of my career. It started early for me at my high school paper, where I was the first black or Latinx editor in years, and continued to college, where Medill students and faculty are overwhelmingly homogenous. In terms of careers, the prospects don’t look much better. Newsrooms are getting more diverse, but marginally so, despite several social movements and attempts to include underrepresented voices. That’s why my promises aren’t empty — this problem is deeply personal for me. It affects my life in more ways than I can count. I feel the pain of not reading about people who look like me in the paper, then walking into a newsroom filled with the people who published that same paper. I certainly don’t blame people for being hesitant to join The Daily. It can seem intimidating, intense and overwhelmingly white, upperclass and straight (because it is). Reporters, columnists and editors have made mistakes that have made me shake with anger. Sometimes it feels like the only option is to quit.

But I’ve already made a commitment. I’m dedicated to changing the culture inside The Daily and our recruitment process, as are many of my colleagues. We are excited to keep changing the institutional barriers that have long existed at this publication. Opening the opinion section to more voices and making them feel welcome is important to me and other editors at this paper. Over the next quarter, I am dedicating myself to breaking a variety of limitations that have kept strong writers from our staff. I genuinely want to learn how to create a more inclusive environment that reflects the beautiful array of people at this university and in this city. This doesn’t come from a place of tokenization, but from a place of love. I love

journalism, and I want others to adore it like I do. I’ve seen the destruction a bad story can do, but I’ve also seen the positive change that can come from a good one. There are so many interesting and powerful voices on campus, and in the past, The Daily has failed them. I promise to fight for these voices and make this paper as inclusive as it should be.

the University does not seem to understand students’ concerns as legitimate and does not seem to care enough to act on them. Keeping Kanazawa as a scholar means that the administration will continue to give this man a claim to the Northwestern name. They very well know the power behind this name, as do all of us students — which is why we are here in spite of the administration’s constant avoidance of our frustrations. This persistent erasure of our voices is a plague under which students not only are ignored while calling for the removal of a racist scientist, but also under which mental health, suicides and sexual assaults are handled poorly or not at all. Students called for action to be taken against fraternities where sexual assault had taken place. Despite protests and efforts from

student clubs, there was no change. Students wanted a stronger mental health initiative for the school. After many deaths, calls for change and a protest, there are now two new CAPS staff members, which comes off as more of an appeasement tactic than an actual attempt at change. The student body is pleading to deaf ears. NU cannot gather so many brilliant minds into one institution, an institution ranked 10th overall by U.S. News & World Report, and decide to view our opinions and ideas as petty complaints. It is disgraceful, especially in regard to the black students who attend this school. Diversifying schools helps all students learn more — mainly white students, who benefit substantially from being exposed to the backgrounds and ethnicities of students

of color. These benefits are impossible to replicate in a homogenous environment. At work, I edit thousands of photos for the Office of Student Affairs and see thousands of white faces, but I notice that the University’s promotional magazines, websites and brochures are full of brown faces. The University knows the power behind this choice. They know very well the value that our experiences and knowledge bring to this university, and they flaunt that via their promotional materials. Maybe they should consider this before continuing to give credibility to a man that thinks we are worthless.

Annual NU donation to fund paramedic services, job training in Evanston

Northwestern President Morton Schapiro and Evanston Mayor Stephen Hagerty announced last week the allocation of NU’s $1 million donation to Evanston’s Good Neighbor Fund. The donation is just one way the University tries to settle concerns from Evanston residents that its exemption from property taxes is a drain on the city’s revenue, a longstanding conflict in town-gown relations. It also comes as both Northwestern and Evanston struggle with a budget deficit. “Northwestern’s relationship with the City

and its residents is a priority for the University, and the Good Neighbor Fund is a great example of this partnership,” President Schapiro said in a news release. “This is one of the concrete ways we can demonstrate our commitment. Our investments, specifically in the areas of youth programs and career development, will have a meaningful impact on the Evanston community for years to come.” The donation will support projects including the Evanston Fire Department paramedic services, job training, youth outreach programs and library programs beginning on the first day of the new year. In 2015, Schapiro and Hagerty agreed that the University would donate to Evanston for five years on the condition that they would both agree on where to allocate the funds. The new

year will mark Northwestern’s fourth annual $1 million donation to the city. This year, the donation will support ten different projects. Evanston Fire Department paramedic services received the most funding at $250,000 and Mayor Hagerty’s Discretionary Projects Fund was allocated the second largest amount at $150,000. “Northwestern University is a great neighbor, and I thank President Schapiro, in particular, for continuing this important partnership,” Mayor Hagerty said in a statement. “This $1 million financial contribution supports our community’s success by funding important projects that will help everyone who lives, works and plays in Evanston.” — Ashley Capoot

Colectivo ups cafe competition By MADDY DAUM

the daily northwestern

Caffeine lovers hoping for a seat in the new Colectivo Coffee shop will have to keep looking. After opening three months ago at 716 Church Street, the coffee shop has attracted many new customers despite controversy over its impact on other local cafes. Paul Zalmezak, economic development manager for the city of Evanston, said Colectivo has made a strong first impression. Residents have had a positive response to the opening, and the store is turning out good profit and bringing traffic, Zalmezak said. “(Colectivo) has really done a great job of retrofitting one of our best corners in the entire city,” Zalmezak said. “The environment is great, the audience is great. The buildout is right on. … That is what we were trying to accomplish.” Karis Naumann, who manages the Evanston location, said she has already seen regular customers and building relationships with students. Naumann hopes students will see Colectivo as a fun place to relax or work, she said. She even observed that the shop was less busy while school was off for winter break. “I hope that we can contribute to the community and maybe do more things with Northwestern,” Naumann said. “I see students here all the time and I love getting to know the people. People are coming back and not just stopping in to try us once.” Naumann said she overheard a resident who was excited for Colectivo’s opening but thought of it as more of a chain than other coffee shops in Evanston. Colectivo is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has 20 locations in total — 16 in Wisconsin and four in the Chicago area. On Monday, Unicorn Cafe put a sign outside its store that said “eat LOCAL, drink LOCAL, support LOCAL,” with an asterisk that clarified that local “does not include Milwaukee.” Although Colectivo is not based in Evanston, the company adapts each of its locations to the individual community, Naumann said. Scott Schwebel, Colectivo’s vice president of brand, marketing and retail, said that Colectivo is “not a chain” in spirit even though it has multiple locations. He doesn’t know how Colectivo’s presence has impacted other Evanston businesses but emphasized that it is working to be a productive member of the community. Schwebel said the company is happy with the turnout from longtime Evanston residents and students. After a long renovation process, he said Colectivo is excited to be open for business and revive the corner. “Generally when we come into a neighborhood we are a positive amenity to the community as well as the experience at large,” Schwebel said. “My focus is our business and our contribution to the community, as we always try to make a positive impact.” Zalmezak said some independent coffee shops had expressed concern, but he trusts businesses “will adjust” to competition. He said that the city hasn’t looked at how Colectivo’s presence has affected other coffee shops in the area but will be watching how the relationships play out over the next year. “We will do what we do on our staff to make sure everyone is doing okay and if they need help we will,” Zalmezak said. “I think everyone has been adapting and changing their level of service, changing their product.” madisondaum2022@u.northwestern.edu

USC and Michigan in the past, the NFL talk was still worrisome. But Fitzgerald, the unanimous 2018 Big Ten Coach of the Year, made it clear this New Year’s Eve that he’s an Evanstonian for good. Of course, the actual football played at SDCCU Stadium was one of Fitzgerald’s finest career coaching performances by any measurement, not to be overshadowed by speculation about his personal future. His No. 22 NU squad, (9-5, 8-1 Big Ten) missing its best two receivers and three of its most experienced defenders, rallied from a 20-3 halftime deficit by scoring four consecutive touchdowns within the next 14 minutes. No. 17 Utah

that was pretty bad.” She said she finds it “discouraging” that freedom of expression is used primarily to defend people with racist and sexist opinions. Medill sophomore Maia Brown said she wasn’t surprised with the University’s response — she said asking Kanazawa to leave campus could cause backlash from the larger academic community. “They were just kind of like ‘We’re a campus that values freedom of speech and we’re sorry he doesn’t encompass our values,’” she said. “That doesn’t rectify that he wouldn’t be

“So many students have died since I’ve arrived here,” Patterson wrote. “Northwestern needs to do better and support each and every student who is in need.” Patterson was a member of ASG for over three years and previously served as vice president of academics. Rebecca Lazer, the ASG vice president of health and wellness, said she was proud Patterson decided to prioritize herself and hopes it will encourage other students to do the same. “Especially in a lot of wellness circles and

(9-5, 6-3 Pac-12) coach Kyle Whittingham, previously 11-1 in bowl games, called the third quarter turnaround a “nightmare.” For the Cats, it was more like a trip to heaven. The difference in confidence and mood on the two sidelines was palpable and obvious, as NU came out swinging while Utah looked rattled by the turn in momentum. The Cats shifted defensive strategies, backing off the line and loading up the secondary, and moved to a more straightforward offensive game plan with some trick plays mixed in. “We just weren’t communicating great early — no reason, just a little rusty from not having played in a month — but we settled in and we settled down,” Fitzgerald said. “A little bit more downhill runs, that was (adjustment) number one.

We felt like we had to get them running a little bit side-to-side, they were so stout in the belly of their defense, but that really didn’t work very well for us in the first half. … And then (we added) a couple double moves, and a couple big plays down the stretch that played dividends.” Fitzgerald helped guide NU through a most tumultuous of autumns in 2018, overcoming a 1-3 start and the sudden loss of running back Jeremy Larkin by marching to the Big Ten Championship for the first time in school history and then beating a heavily favored opponent in an upper-tier bowl. The absurdity of all that transpired Monday night, from the horrendous weather to the six defensive takeaways, was just par for the course. As was the happy ending, for all involved.

here without Northwestern enabling him to come here. It seemed like an empty attempt to placate people.” Brown added that it was “discouraging” to see the University ignore student concerns after trying to present itself as an ally. “Northwestern has been really trying to paint themselves as people who are on board with student activism,” she said, adding that something that’s such a “big deal” to students should be more of a priority for the administration. Weinberg sophomore Micha Nouafo said Holloway’s email was contradictory, and his insistence that Kanazawa’s views don’t belong at Northwestern directly conflicts with the

University’s decision to keep him. She added that it made her feel like there was information Holloway left out, and that the email was worse than not responding at all to the students’ concerns. After she read his email, Nouafo said it made her feel like the University didn’t care about black women, and in a larger sense, students in general. “It speaks to how black women on this campus are regarded, but it’s not that it was black women specifically,” she said. “It could have been any marginalized group, and I think it’s really sad that the University wouldn’t have reacted any differently if it were any other group.”

organizations on campus, all of us talk about productivity culture and say we’re working to fight that culture and make it ok to take a step back, but I don’t actually see a lot of that,” Lazer said. “It’s really important that she’s taking that step and prioritizing herself.” She added that ASG began making changes to internal processes and the ASG code regarding wellness. Lazer said some of the changes included setting wellness expectations such as no institutional ASG meetings past 10 p.m. Emily Ash, the executive vice president, said she was in open communication with Patterson before she resigned to create a smooth transition. Ash added that in the days between Patterson’s

resignation and the ASG announcement, the organization worked on a process of succession. “Sky was very concerned about how a resignation might impact us internally,” Ash said. “We did spend a good deal of time talking through how the board would move forward following a resignation and came up with a path that we both felt confident about.” Ash will immediately assume the role of ASG president and will leave the executive vice president position vacant during the remainder of her term. Ash said she decided not to fill the position because she has the support she needs with the ASG Chief of Staff, Julia Shenkman, and the rest of the executive board.

Looking to the remainder of the term, Ash said she wants to face Patterson’s resignation with “openness” in an effort to destigmatize stepping down from leadership positions at NU. “I think it is a brave choice for Sky to resign but I don’t want her to have to be brave,” Ash said. “I want to normalize the idea that if I am a student making a commitment that is causing me stress and harming my wellbeing, I should be able to step away from that and be supported by fellow students.”

opposing the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Before the Supreme Court passed a travel ban that barred citizens of six predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S in June, the University showed its support for its international students and scholars by signing onto other briefs. In the case the lawsuit against Nielsen fails, Shankar said his office will amp up education

efforts to ensure international students are aware of the changes in visa policies. The office will also send out timely reminders about visa authorizations so that students will not unknowingly be subject to unlawful presence, he said. Shankar also encouraged international students to visit the office with questions rather than rely on peer advice or Google. “One of the things about the immigrations

regulations in this country is that what may apply to your peer sitting next to you, may not apply to you,” he said. “They’re not uniformly applied –– applications, regulations –– because it’s such a situational and contextual thing.”

State AG investigates Catholic Church abuse By JAMES POLLARD

the daily northwestern @pamesjollard

The Catholic Church in Illinois failed to investigate or disclose abuse accusations against over 500 priests and clergy, according to a new preliminary report from the state’s attorney general. The report released last week criticized the state’s six dioceses for underreporting the accusations.These new findings are the result of a preliminary investigation by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who said she cannot suggest legal action yet. “Because I know that the Church has too often ignored survivors of clergy sexual assault, I want to share the initial findings from our work,” Madigan said in a news release. “While the findings are preliminary, they demonstrate the need for and importance of continuing this investigation.” The church often failed to substantiate a claim if it came from only one person, even if it had “reason to believe that survivor,” the report found. It also discredited some claims of abuse by “focusing on the survivors’ personal lives.” Though Madigan’s report made no mention of specific clergy, the Chicago archdiocese had already published an updated list of clergy with substantiated allegations in November. One of the priests included is Rev. Dominic Aloysius Diederich, who worked at St. Nicholas Church in Evanston from 1917 to 1925. He died in 1977. Rev. Donald McGuire does not appear on the list, but was accused of molesting a teenager while living in Canisius House, a Jesuit Residence in Evanston, from 1999 to 2003. He was convicted in Wisconsin in 2006. The report found that the church also did not investigate claims by members of a religious order, such as the Jesuits. Madigan began the investigation in August after a Pennsylvania grand jury reported abuse by more than 300 Catholic clergy. Illinois’ six dioceses are among at least 36 across the nation to have publicly self-reported lists of accused clergy since the Pennsylvania report was released. Catholic officials in Illinois had previously identified only 185 priests and clergy with allegations against

them in the state. Some of the newly reported allegations go back decades, but in many cases, the accused abuser had died or resigned by the time the archdiocese became aware of abuse, William Kunkel, the general counsel for the Archdiocese of Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago defended his archdiocese, saying his office has reported all allegations since 2002. “I want to express again the profound regret of the whole church for our failures to address the scourge of clerical sexual abuse,” Cupich said in a prepared statement. The report comes just ahead of a gathering ordered by Pope Francis of American bishops to pray and reflect on the church’s role in the sexual abuse of children. Illinois Attorney General-elect Kwame Raoul committed to continuing the investigation in a news release Thursday. He said the results were “disturbing” and accountability would not come voluntarily from the Catholic Church. “Today’s news demonstrates the need for ongoing diligence in investigating crimes against children taking place within institutions that do not have a history of unilateral, proactive transparency,” Raoul said.

touchdowns, and NU ran for just 81 yards. But that didn’t tell the story of the most pivotal 15 minutes. As Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said of his team: “Everything in that second half was like a nightmare. One thing after another.” For the Cats, however, it was a triumph on many levels. NU won nine games for the third time in four seasons. It won a bowl game for just the fifth time in program history. Thorson broke the program’s all-time passing yards record in the first half. And the three straight postseason victories represents one more history-making notch on Fitzgerald’s resume. Fittingly, the Cats closed an unusual season in unusual fashion. NU rebounded from a woeful 1-3 start to win eight conference contests and reach the Big Ten Championship Game for the first time in its history. And when the horizon looked bleak, once again, on Monday night, the Cats roared back. For Thorson, that means one indelible memory of his final college game. “Winning. That third quarter, coming back, scoring 28 points, our defense kicking the crap out of them,” he said. “It was awesome.”

Elder dining hall will not reopen this academic year as originally scheduled due to a redesign of the renovation plans, according to a Monday email from student affairs administrators. The change was made “in response to student feedback,” and the new design will focus on “inclusive dining” — including kosher, halal and vegetarian food and options for those with food allergies, according to the email, authored by Stacey Brown, the director of dining; Jim Roberts, the senior executive director for division services and

period came after a Utah turnover — the drive that gave NU its first lead of the evening was on the heels of a fumble recovery by Pace — and the senior credited the defense for putting him in the position to score. The win over the Utes made this year’s senior class the winningest in school history, with three straight bowl wins for the first time ever, 36 wins in four years and a Big Ten West title under its belt. Though Klock may not have been with the Wildcats for that entire journey, Fitzgerald was sure that the senior would never forget how the ride ended. “You think about lasting moments in their lives … (Klock) finished his career with an exclamation point,” the coach said. “I mean, how cool is that? He’s going to be 44, talking to his kids about that touchdown catch he had in the Holiday Bowl. (I’m) just so happy for him.”

was 0-for-11 from deep over the course of the game. The Cats held Illinois guard Trent Frazier to a contested step-back 30-footer at the buzzer to seal the win and seperate themselves from the bottom of the Big Ten. Collins said the win gives NU a reason to believe the team can close out games in this conference heading into two more against ranked opponents – No. 25 Iowa and again, the Wolverines. “We had three really difficult losses against three of the best, not only in the conference but in the country,” Collins said. “We had to come home and we had to find a way to win, and we did, so I’m really proud of my team.”

Chicago organizers announced in November they will not host the annual Women’s March amid rising controversy about the national organization’s link with Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan following his anti-Semitic comments. Farrakhan drew criticism last February when he delivered a speech attended by the national organization’s co-chair with comments like “the powerful Jews are my enemy.” Though leaders of organization condemned his comments a month later, local chapters throughout the country began dissociating from the national group. Last year, about 300,000 people gathered in Grant Park for the Women’s March, which was about 50,000 more than in 2017. Sara Kurensky, a Women’s March Chicago board member, told the Chicago Tribune in December that marches with such a large turnout can cost more than $150,000, a steep price after already hosting a “March to the Polls” event in October, which 100,000 people attended in Grant Park. While the cost was a major reason for cancelling the march, Kurensky told the Tribune that the opportunity for the Chicago chapter to separate further from the national organization was a “side benefit.” Other cities like Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. will still hold marches on Jan. 19 along with nearby Illinois cities like New Lenox, Rockford and Woodstock.

Jennifer Luttig-Komrosky, the executive director of residential services. Elder’s dining hall is now scheduled to reopen in Summer 2019. In the meantime, Northwestern Dining will find ways to provide breakfast options to Elder residents to compensate for the change in timeline, administrators wrote. Administrators also announced plans to implement a reusable container program. Students can pay a $5 deposit to carry their food out of the dining hall in a reusable container, which can be switched out later for clean ones or a refund. A version of this story was originally published online on Dec. 10. — Cameron Cook

Even without a march, Chicago organizers still plan to host an event or activity on Jan. 19, 2019 to honor the occasion — the details of which have yet to be determined. “There’s no march, there’s no rally,” Kurensky told the Tribune. “We’re going to provide ways for people to organize and take action in their local communities.” A version of this story was originally published online on Jan. 6. — Sophia Scanlan

“HOME FOREVER”

By COLE PAXTON

daily senior staffer @ckpaxton

SAN DIEGO — This coastal, tropical city seemed an unlikely locale for a driving deluge on New Year’s Eve. Northwestern’s depleted defense seemed an unlikely unit to suddenly scoop up takeaways like it made tackles. The Wildcats’ offense, all but left for dead in the first half, showed few signs of getting hotter than the chilly night. And yet, each one happened. No. 22 NU (9-5, 8-1 Big Ten) stormed back from a 20-3 halftime to score four unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter — aided by four turnovers in that period alone — and hand No. 17 Utah (9-5, 6-3 Pac-12) a stunning 31-20 defeat in the Holiday Bowl in the final hours of 2018. The decisive quarter unfolded in almost surreal fashion for the Cats, who scored on a two-play drive, returned a fumble 82 yards for a touchdown and forced forced two turnovers in a five-play span. By the time those fateful 15 minutes came to a close, NU — which tallied six total takeaways — had a two-possession lead and was well on its way to a third straight bowl victory for the first time in program history. “You could just feel the momentum shift,” a jubilant coach Pat Fitzgerald

said. “To get the turnovers and create short fields was the key. … We settled in, we settled down and the guys, credit goes to them.” That performance came in sharp contrast to the first half. NU punted on four of its first five drives — including two consecutive ones that ended with negative yards — as Utah scored a pair of touchdowns just four minutes apart. Momentum turned away from the Cats on several occasions. They were stopped on fourth-and-inches at their own 45 after the first Utah score, giving the Utes a short field for their second touchdown. Later, after consecutive chunk plays got NU to the 3-yard line, the Cats stalled and were forced to settle for a field goal. But in the second half, the momentum ricocheted back in NU’s favor. The first touchdown, on a two-play drive punctuated by a 53-yard catch by sophomore receiver Ramaud Chiaokhiao-Bowman on the Cats’ first play of the half, came less than two minutes into the third quarter. NU then rattled off 21 points in exactly five minutes of game time despite running just eight offensive plays and gaining only 98 yards. Instead of plodding, methodical drives, NU made its mark with several explosive plays. It began at an unlikely place — the Cats’ 6-yard line — when defensive end Joe Gaziano forced a fumble and Jared McGee picked up

the loose ball. Eighty-six yards down the field, the senior safety had made the game a one-possession contest. “The big guys up front were doing a great job all game flushing their quarterback out of the pocket, and they really got home on that play,” McGee said. “I was like, ‘Oh! Ball!’ I scoop it and take it to the house. … I told (my teammates) I’m fast now.” Rarely used superback Trey Klock put NU ahead with a trick play touchdown — on the first catch of his career — after another Utah fumble, then receiver Riley Lees added a rushing score from a Wildcat formation to give his team a two-possession lead. The shellshocked Utes didn’t again get over the 50-yard line of the soggy, muddy grass. “Did I think we were going to be able to create that amount of turnovers?” Fitzgerald said. “I love San Diego, but man I love it when it rains on gameday. That was sweet. … It was raining harder coming out of halftime than before the half, and I think that played a role on the field.” The emphatic second half play didn’t translate to statistical dominance. The Utes tallied more first downs, more total yards, a better third-down conversion rate and more offensive plays. Senior quarterback Clayton Thorson tallied a solid if not eye-popping 241 yards and two » See BOWL WIN, page 10

Klock has a moment with TD NU delivers mustBy ELLA BROCKWAY

daily senior staffer @ellabrockway

SAN DIEGO — Trey Klock’s path to Northwestern was anything but direct. A three-star prospect from central Pennsylvania who played five different positions during high school — ranging from spots on the offensive and defensive line to tight end and even quarterback — he spent the first three years of his college football career at Georgia Tech as a offensive tackle. He joined the Wildcats as a transfer in 2017, seeing time on special teams and in goal-line situations. The 6-foot-4, 296-pound senior superback waited for his moment. This August, he told PennLive that he would often ask NU offensive coordinator Mick McCall “to throw me in there every time we’re in a passing situation,” and that he was “always joking about letting me be a playmaker and do my thing.” Late in the third quarter of the Holiday Bowl against Utah on Monday, the joke turned into reality. On a trick play, he lined up on the left side of the line of scrimmage and ran straight into the end zone, catching a 20-yard pass from quarterback Clayton Thorson to give the Cats a lead they wouldn’t lose en route to a 31-20 win over the Utes. “I told my coaches, ‘I played tight end in high school, I’ve been ready to do this,’” Klock told the Daily. “I’m just so thankful they believed in me and gave me a shot. The play was just unbelievable.” Klock said the Cats had been practicing that particular play throughout the week, and he was just patiently waiting for it to be executed. In the postgame news conference, coach Pat Fitzgerald — to nods of agreement from defensive backs Jared McGee and J.R. Pace — even joked that the trick play hadn’t even worked that well in practice.

Five years removed from the last time he caught a pass in an official game setting, Klock said the seven points weren’t even his first priority as he ran straight towards the goal line. “I saw the guy coming down to tackle me and my first thought was ‘Just don’t fumble the ball,’” he said. “I’m on the two-yard line, just don’t fumble (because) I would never hear the end of that. So I just held on.” There was no fumble, and as senior guard J.B. Butler — whose job was to line up as a wide receiver and wave his arms up and down in the air,

pretending he was going to get the ball — said, the play worked to perfection. “The play was great, (but) I was more happy for Trey,” Butler told the Daily. “I was so happy that it was Trey in there doing it. He’s my best friend, and it was just awesome to see. I’m glad it worked, cause that was sweet.” The touchdown, both the first catch and the first score of Klock’s college football career, was part of NU’s thirdquarter, 28-point comeback.

win over rival Illinois By CHARLIE GOLDSMITH

daily senior staffer @2021_charlie

It’s rare to have a head coach call a game early in conference play a “must-win,” but Chris Collins played that card on Jan. 6. And then his team delivered its most exciting one of the season. The offense wasn’t flowing much better than it had in Northwestern’s two close Big Ten losses, and the top of the conference is still crowded and miles away, but it was easy to notice a team saving its season when junior forward A.J. Turner nailed a three with 11 seconds left from the top of the key. After calling his own number on a set play, Turner ran a pick-androll with senior center Dererk Pardon and stepped-back beyond the 3-point arc and missed. Senior forward Vic Law lunged to keep the ball alive and Law secured just the team’s fourth offensive rebound of the game before dishing it back out to Turner in almost the same spot. He nailed the second chance, and the Wildcats (10-5, 1-3 Big Ten) escaped with a 68-66 win over Illinois (4-11, 0-4). “This was a game we knew we had to win, there was no sugarcoating it,” Collins said. “Playing your archrival at home, you got to win, and if you’re scared about that then we’re not going to win anyway.” NU lost by two points in consecutive Big Ten games in December to No. 21 Indiana and No. 2 Michigan after failing to convert late. Had Turner missed a second time, the Cats would have had a last-place record four games into the 20-game conference schedule. Collins said he put a lot of pressure on the team to win this game

and – as a result – on Turner to be the first player this season to convert in crunch time of a close game. As Law struggled from the field against a high-pressure defense from the Fighting Illini that denied him the ball, Turner made three baskets in the last four minutes and finished with an efficient 12 points on six shots with four assists as well. It was a departure from how most of the year has been going for the junior forward, whose shooting ability was questioned by Illinois coach Brad Underwood following the game. According to Collins, Turner’s 29.2 percentage from deep has been the source of a constant dialogue with the coaching staff during the season concerning remaining aggressive through his up-and-down shooting. “You don’t accomplish anything good if you’re on your heels,” Collins said. “You just don’t. You’ve got to put yourself out there, and sometimes you put yourself out there and it doesn’t work. But you’re never going to know what you can do unless you go for it.” “And that’s always been my message with all of these guys. And to see (Turner), that’s been a little bit of a hurdle for him. He’s a talented kid, and we really believe in him. In the second half, we don’t win without those plays.” In the second half, Turner, Law and graduate guard Ryan Taylor combined for 32 of the team’s 43 points. They led the team out of a stretch where the team scored 2 points in eight minutes spanning the end of the first half and the beginning of the second. Illinois guard Ayo Dosunmu led the Fighting Illini with a team-high 18 points, but only one Illinois player shot better than 50 percent from the field and the team » See MUST WIN, page 10
