Students demand Kanazawa leave

Town hall attendees draft demands regarding controversial scholar

By CAMERON COOK

daily senior staffer @cam_e_cook

Students held a town hall Wednesday to discuss and draft plans to remove controversial visiting scholar Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist whose work on race and gender has provoked outrage on campus.

The town hall was held to facilitate discussion about the effect of Kanazawa’s presence at Northwestern, draft demands to present to University administrators and

work on strategies to pressure the University into accepting those demands, said the organizers of the town hall.

Kanazawa’s work has been criticized by some who believe it to be racist and sexist. During his time blogging for Psychology Today, Kanazawa published a controversial post titled “Why Are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women?,” which was later taken down by the site.

The students began the event by going through a timeline of Kanazawa’s association with the University — starting with his

request to spend his sabbatical in Evanston and extending to the present — before breaking into small groups and discussing the personal impact of the events this past month.

Medill first-year Imani Harris said she thought it was important that students, especially black women, talk to one another about how they were affected by having Kanazawa at Northwestern.

“I feel like it happened so fast,” Harris said. “We didn’t have time to process it or unpack it or why it matters to us.”

The initial demands the

organizers put forward included Kanazawa’s “immediate removal” and the fulfillment of psychology graduate students’ demands, such as the reform of the process for selecting visiting scholars.

Students also reiterated a demand that the University departmentalize the Asian American Studies and Latina and Latino Studies programs.

The list was also opened to other students who wanted to add demands, most of which focused on strengthening the vetting » See KANAZAWA, page 6

Northwestern drew $100 million from its endowment to resolve the $94 million budget deficit from fiscal year 2018, Provost Jonathan Holloway told Faculty Senate on Wednesday.

The move broke from the University’s typical 5 percent annual draw from the endowment, increasing it to a 6 percent draw, said Craig Johnson, the senior vice president for business and finance. The University generally avoids pulling more than 5 percent of its endowment, he added, calling continued spending above this level “unsustainable.”

The deficit first became public when Holloway announced it at a January 2018 Faculty Senate meeting. At the time, the deficit was estimated to be between $50 million and $100 million.

Estimates during the winter and spring approached $130 million, but has since stabilized to give a more positive financial outlook.

To counteract a continuing operating deficit, the University will draw a another $50 million from the endowment in fiscal year 2019, which began in September 2018, and $25 million in fiscal year 2020 before returning

to typical budget procedures in fiscal year 2021, Holloway said.

The University’s overall financial position remained strong, Johnson maintained, though the acquisition of $500 million of taxable debt in October 2017 increased its total debt to $2.5 billion.

The University’s status had been placed on notice by the three largest credit rating agencies when it issued the bonds, Johnson said.

NU retained its AAA credit rating from Moody’s last September, making it one of few universities with a top-tier credit rating. But the rating agency revised its outlook for Northwestern to “negative” from “stable” after expressing concern over the University’s cash flow.

“Our perch at the top is a little bit at risk, and it’s something we’re monitoring,” Johnson said.

Holloway said the University planned to continue stringent budget procedures adopted in response to the deficit, changes he said would improve accountability and communication.

“We have much more robust financial systems in place,” Holloway said. “We have much better controls in place and better information flowing from the departments to the school administrations to The Center,” he added, referring to the central administrators.

Center advocates ETHS teacher f ights for equity for Evanston youth Corey Winchester selected for policy fellowship, aims to create change Moran Center provides resources, legal services

By CASSIDY WANG

the daily northwestern @cassidyw_

This story is part of a series of profiles of activist and community groups across Evanston.

Patrick Keenan-Devlin believes Evanston is a community of “haves and have nots,” with few people in the middle. Although lots of financial and nonprofit resources exist in the community, he said the city still faces problems, such as inequity, poverty and the effects these factors can have in destabilizing families.

The Moran Center for Youth Advocacy, where Keenan-Devlin is the executive director, strives to “humanize the human” by getting

to know the personal challenges at-risk youth face in Evanston. The center provides free legal services for youth in the criminal justice system and schools, focusing on restorative justice programs and other support systems.

The center attempts to keep Evanston youth out of jail and prison, but is also equipped with resources to connect them back to their community.

Non-Hispanic black people made up 33 percent of the total U.S. prison population at the end of 2016, despite making up only 12 percent of the total population, according to data from the U.S. Justice Department.

Keenan-Devlin said the “horrifying” national statistics showing the disproportionately negative impact of the criminal justice system on black people exist in Evanston too.

“It’s true on every level, from Evanston to across the country,” Keenan-Devlin said. “The racism that is embedded in our criminal justice system is embedded here » See MORAN, page 6

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

When Corey Winchester was a student, school was never about a “transactional” relationship in which a student goes to school just to get grades. For him, it was always about learning, a mindset he credits to his family and firstgrade teacher.

Winchester (SESP ’10) is one of 20 teachers in Illinois selected for the 2018-2019 Teach Plus Illinois Teaching Policy Fellowship. The nine-month program brings together teachers from across the state to improve policy and practice in education, working on issues such as school discipline, teacher preparation and retention of teachers of color.

Winchester has been a history and social sciences teacher at Evanston Township High School since 2010. When he was a Northwestern student, he served as a tutor at ETHS in

2008 and taught at the school in 2009 and 2010.

He said he wondered why he made it to high school graduation when “other folks that share my identities don’t.”

“Then I had to interrogate, where does racism show up?”

Winchester said. “Where does classism show up? Where do all these different systems of oppression operating upon me and upon our education system that creates these inequities?”

As he began thinking about career options, Winchester said he wanted a space to find out more about who he is as a black man. “That’s when I decided that I wanted to go into teaching,” he added.

teachers learn about education policy and how to become education advocates. Kaufmann said they typically receive about 100 applicants for the fellowship. “(Teachers) may not necessarily need to be policy experts, as we do that training, but that they’re interested in thinking at a systems-level about having an impact beyond their

classroom,” Kaufmann said.

“We look for people that are very focused on equity.”

Previous cohorts of Teach Plus fellows have influenced Illinois school funding and provided recommendations to the state’s accountability system, Kaufmann said.

ON CAMPUS

Call Kanazawa’s research ‘oppressive,’ ASG demands

By ATUL JALAN

the daily northwestern @jalan_atul

The Associated Student Government Senate on Wednesday passed legislation calling on Northwestern administrators to terminate controversial evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa’s visiting scholarship and denounce his research as “racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic.”

The ASG resolution, introduced last week, was passed with a last-minute amendment introduced by Weinberg Senator Margot Bartol recommending University faculty to refrain from using Kanazawa’s research in class curriculum unless they disclose the “oppressive nature” of his research.

Kanazawa’s research examining the relationships between race, intelligence and beauty has provoked outrage on campus. A 2012 research paper of his concluded that there were apparent differences in intelligence between races. While working in 2011 as a blogger for Psychology Today, Kanazawa published an article “Why are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women?” He was later fired from the site and his article was deleted.

Days ago, Bartol, a Weinberg first year, said her statistics professor used Kanazawa’s correlating of intelligence and beauty as an example of “statistical analysis,” leading Bartol to propose the amendment.

POLICE BLOTTER Wallet, iPhone stolen from Evanston library A 71-year-old woman reported Tuesday that her iPhone and wallet had been taken from the Evanston Public Library.

The EPL employee put her duffel bag at her workspace on the third floor of the library, Evanston Police Department Cmdr. Ryan Glew said.

“I could tell that a lot of people were made uncomfortable by its nature of being used in the classroom,” Bartol said.

The amendment ignited an hour-long debate over the manner in which professors should be required to disclose the nature of Kanazawa’s research. Some senators demanded that professors acknowledge Kanazawa’s research as explicitly racist, sexist and xenophobic.

“We already have in the resolution that we’re calling upon the University to do the exact same thing: call the research racist, misogynistic and xenophobic,” said Zubair Ahmed, the Transfer Students’ Organization senator. “It’s not that far off to ask professors to do the same.”

Other senators argued that such a statement would infringe on professors’ free speech rights and overstep the authority of ASG, recommending instead that professors be obligated only to disclose Kanazawa’s research as being controversial.

Weinberg Senator and first-year Christian Wade, the original author of the resolution, said that while ASG could ask the University to dismiss Kanazawa’s research as “xenophobic, racist and discriminatory,” compelling an individual professor to do the same would overstep ASG’s authority.

For SESP Senator Soteria Reid, though, “controversial” just wasn’t enough. Because students are in direct contact with professors, Reid argued, professors are in a unique position to denounce Kanazawa in a more effective way than University administrators could.

“The nature of (Kanazawa’s research) isn’t that After her husband contacted her at work about unusual activity on Uber, the woman noticed her white iPhone 6 was missing, along with herred Coach wallet, which contained multiple credit cards and IDs, Glew added.

The EPL security officer reviewed security footage and saw two male teens enter the library and go up to the third floor. Glew said the footage showed one teen acting as a lookout while the other removed the phone and wallet from the

it’s just controversial. It’s oppressive, and if we want to take a step further, it’s racist and sexist and xenophobic,” Reid, a SESP sophomore, said.

“I don’t think we should be afraid of using those terms because they are in themselves controversial. I think that that’s antithetical to what we’re trying to do.”

The senators’ discussion resulted in four phrasing proposals and two failed motions.

Hoping to resolve the deadlock, Speaker of the

Senate and Weinberg sophomore Adam Downing called a recess to allow them to informally deliberate.

The senate eventually compromised, recommending that professors use the term “oppressive” when describing Kanazawa’s research in the classroom. The amendment passed with a chorus of support, leaving only a single holdout to mutter a meek “nay.”

There is no suspect and no one in custody, Glew said, but an investigation is pending.

‘Hello, Dolly!’ hopes to brighten up Cahn Auditorium

By VY DUONG

Looking forward to this year’s Dolphin Show, executive producer Casey Watson said she knows audiences might be suffering from a winter slump.

The Communication senior said she thinks “Hello, Dolly!” is the perfect choice to bring joy and magic to campus when students need a mood boost.

The 77th Annual Dolphin Show tells the story of Dolly Levi, a widow who becomes a matchmaker in New York City. The show follows the socialite on her daylong journey through a series of incidents packed with delightful parades and grand feasts. “Hello, Dolly!” opens Jan. 25 and runs through Feb. 2 in Cahn Auditorium.

Communication junior Holly Hinchliffe, who plays shopkeeper Irene Molloy, said she was able to feel the joy channeled through the script when she first read it. Hinchliffe said Dolly’s effervescent energy and desire to bring happiness to the world instantly drew her to the show.

“You read it and you know it’s a story about joy and hope and happiness and laughter. It feels very bright, light and loving,” Hinchliffe said. “It’s centered around a very powerful woman, Dolly, and the magic she is able to make happen, and

how much she is able to orchestrate other people’s lives to bring romance and adventure together.”

Communication senior Andrew Harlan, who is the general manager of the show, said he hopes the audience leaves the show viewing the world through a rosier lens.

Harlan added that being able to showcase the cast and crew’s work in the large space of Cahn Auditorium, accompanied by a full-scale orchestra, is a privilege that gives the team room for creativity.

“In choosing ‘Hello, Dolly!’, one of the grandest musicals of the golden age of musical theater, we were going big or going home. And we’re choosing to go big,” Harlan said.

Working this year’s show, Harlan said his favorite memory was when the crew came back from winter break a week early to create the set. He said the team enjoyed each other’s company, both on set during their eight-hour work days and during after-hours bonding activities.

Both Watson and Harlan have been involved in the Dolphin Show since freshman year, which they said has helped them establish a close-knit community.

“Being able to give back the experience that I had freshman year to other students is something that has been so special and incredible about this whole entire year,” Watson said.

Show her freshman year, said that being able to work with her close friends created a unique experience filled with “laughter, silliness and playfulness.” Seeing the behind-the-scenes work of the artistic team and other members also made the process special, she said.

Hinchliffe said the plot of “Hello, Dolly!” can feel like a “whirlwind” because so much takes place in one day. She said she hopes the show helps

people realize the potential of everyday life.

“So many things can happen in one day; there’s limitless possibilities. And that happens with life too,” Hinchliffe said. “You can think that you’re too old for something or your time has passed, but there’s a lot of things waiting for you and a lot of adventure ahead.” vyduong2021@u.northwestern.edu

Gryphon Trio, Catalyst Quartet to perform at Bienen

By ANDREA MICHELSON

daily senior staffer @amichelson18

Inspired by universal emotions and the potential for social change, the Gryphon Trio and Catalyst Quartet are bringing fresh perspectives to classical works of music at the Bienen School of Music’s Winter Chamber Music Festival this weekend.

The 23rd Annual Winter Chamber Music Festival, featuring six performances by internationally renowned artists, spans three weekends in January.

This weekend, the Gryphon Trio will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and the Catalyst Quartet will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. All performances take place in Pick-Staiger Concert Hall.

Gryphon Trio will perform Joseph Haydn’s “Trio No. 45,” Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Trio No. 2” and Johannes Brahms’ “Trio No. 2,” a program that pianist Jamie Parker describes as “a complete emotional journey.”

“The core emotions remain the same,” Parker said. “Something, hundreds of years ago, really pissed Beethoven off, so he wrote some pounding, loud chords in his piece. And a couple of hundred of years later, we come along, and that reminds me of that bad driver who cut me off, so I get angry when I play.”

The piano trio consists of Parker, violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon and cellist Roman Borys.

The musicians met at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta, Canada when they were

students there in the 1980s, Parker said. Though the trio began as friends, they eventually became a professional group and have since been performing together for over 25 years, Parker said.

Parker, Patipatanakoon and Borys play some classical pieces, like their program for the Winter Chamber Music Festival, but they also commission original chamber music. Parker said the trio has premiered approximately 80 original works. One of their original releases, “Canadian Premieres,” won a Juno Award in 2004, according the Bienen website. The trio won a second Juno in 2011 for

their recording of the music of Beethoven.

Parker emphasized the timeless and universal nature of classical music. He said he hopes to create a rapport with the audience where they feel welcome to interact with the music.

“A lot of the music we play, especially the older music, can be received in a very fresh way,” Parker said. “These are not museum pieces, these are things that are fresh and vital and just as meaningful and communicative today as they were a hundred years ago.”

Catalyst Quartet has a radically different

approach to revitalizing classical music. Cellist Karlos Rodriguez said the quartet hopes to shift the message of classical music in order to engage younger audiences and implement social change.

Rodriguez, along with violist Paul Laraia and violinists Karla Donehew-Perez and Jessie Montgomery, chose the name “catalyst” to reflect their mission to affect change through music. Rodriguez said the quartet achieves this goal through their programming, from recording music by historically important black composers to performing Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” with a drag queen on stage.

“We really do believe that we are a string quartet with purpose,” Rodriguez said. “All of our projects stand for something, and we believe them to have larger impact than just a concert … inevitably changing a landscape that has existed for many, many years unchanged.”

The string quartet will play three works by South American composers at the Winter Chamber Music Festival: Heitor Villa-Lobos’ “String Quartet No. 1,” Astor Piazzolla’s “Suite del Angel” and Alberto Ginastera’s “String Quartet No. 2.”

Rodriguez said he hopes these works will bring “a unique musical voice” to the festival, creating a space for Catalyst Quartet’s message.

“Given where we are as a planet, as a country, as a people, what else matters right now?” Rodriguez said. “The four of us, we believe in using music for good, and hopefully people feel that music can be that catalyst, if you will, to overcome adversity.” andreamichelson2020@u.northwestern.edu

In an email obtained by The Daily, Holloway told a student there was “very little”he liked about the situation.

However, he added, asking Kanazawa to leave could draw backlash from the larger academic community.

working with five other Illinois teachers in the program, focusing on recruitment and retention of teachers of color.

In 2016, more than 85 percent of secondary school teachers nationwide were white, despite the fact that the majority of students in public education are not white, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Winchester said these inequities stem from institutional and systemic racism in the education system.

He said the fellowship has allowed him to reconcile his responsibility to the entire state of Illinois as an educator, beyond his responsibility to his students and colleagues at ETHS. “I have typically operated on the ground and really done a lot of grassroots things, and my focus has been primarily working with young people

One student said that, in the email, Holloway was “really just saying that black lives don’t matter,” a statement that garnered nods and snaps of approval from the rest of the students.

Medill sophomore Emma Evans, who also attended the event, reiterated that Kanazawa’s work was not up to par with University standards, and read aloud an email from psychology Prof. Michael Bailey to a graduate student in the department.

Though Bailey referred to Kanazawa’s research as

“bad and stupid” in the email, he said he didn’t think allowing Kanazawa on campus would disrupt anyone’s experience.

But the situation is “bigger”than just Kanazawa,Weinberg junior Anyah Akanni said. By allowing him to stay, she said the University is implicitly supporting his work.

“I want to hold Northwestern accountable about things they’re doing for diversity and inclusion,” she said. “I really want them to be held accountable to the fact that if he stays here, you’re saying that it’s okay to do this kind of science and post this kind of clickbait that is doing harm.”

capacity,” Parker said.

Parker also highlighted Winchester’s work with Students Organized Against Racism, a group focused on involving students in the school’s equity work and developing an anti-racist culture. Parker said Winchester empowers students in this group to take ownership of the work SOAR is doing.

Winchester said his drive for teaching centers around relationships with students and helping them discover their personal identities.

“We live in a nation where we’ve created different levers to work for certain folks,” Winchester said. “If you are white, if you have money, if you are able-bodied, if you are Christian, if you are straight, if you are cis-gendered, these all have meaning in our society in different intersections of that. How do we begin to equip folks, typically our young folks, with tools to understand that?”

Advocate for student voice

Nicole Parker, the chair of the history and social sciences department at ETHS, has worked with Winchester since he started teaching.

He is an “evolving teacher,” continuing to learn and grow in his profession, she said. Parker emphasized Winchester’s focus on student voice in his classroom and beyond.

“That idea of being student-centered and empowering students and having their voice really permeates all the work he does, whether it’s teaching U.S. history content or working with teachers who are in our building for the first year or working with students in an extracurricular kind of

‘Two Evanstons’

Because of the systemic problems in Evanston, the center’s work in youth advocacy is especially important, said Pamela Cytrynbaum, the restorative justice coordinator at the center. Echoing Keenan-Devlin, Cytrynbaum said these systematic problems create “two Evanstons.”

“We have achievement gaps,” Cytrynbaum said. “We have gaps in class, we have real segregation and we have a lot of opportunity hoarding where folks who have a lot keep getting a lot more and folks who don’t don’t.”

In Evanston, more than 98 percent of non-Hispanic whites in 2017 had a high school degree, according to the American Community Survey. That number was 85.7 percent for blacks and 71.9 percent for Hispanics and Latinos.

Cytrynbaum said Evanston residents must reconcile “the mighty liberal majesty of our big lefty hearts” with the fact that inequity runs deep within the city.

The center has expanded over the years and made choices to fit the needs of clients in holistic ways, said Andrew Sowle, a legal fellow at the center.

“It started with criminal defense … (but) over the years, attorneys saw the children who we’re helping in the courtroom have a lot of needs that weren’t being met in school,” Sowle said.

As the program evolved, new projects began addressing family issues that might prevent students from succeeding in school, Sowle said.The center has focused on providing resources, visibility and recognition of students’ circumstances rather than just punishment for their actions, he said.

In order to address these circumstances, the center focuses on restorative justice, an alternative approach to discipline popular in schools across the country that attempts to take a student out of the criminal justice system and help him make amends through other means.

In using a restorative justice approach, Cytrynbaum said the center aims to understand the full context of someone’s actions.

clareproctor2021@u.northwestern.edu For example, when she sees someone smoking marijuana, even though the law says it is illegal in many cases, Cytrynbaum asks the deeper question — why?

When the center actually gets to know their situation, she said one can come to understand the root cause of the behavior.

“When you actually talk to the kid and the family, the kid has massive, undiagnosed anxiety and some mental (illnesses),” Cytrynbaum said. “He’s sitting alone smoking pot because he’s trying to settle himself because he feels he’s going crazy. He’s doing it in his neighbor’s car because his family’s about to get evicted and he’s terrified. That’s a whole different case. The law can’t look at that. The law doesn’t care what’s going on.”

Cytrynbaum said the center has kept thousands of students in school and out of jail through a wide range of services. Moran is leading the charge to changing the structure of the system.

“Young folks so want to make it work,” Cytrynbaum said. “You just have to have a conversation with them to understand that. There’s so much optimism and so much good despite tremendous trauma. The resilience of young people is breathtaking to me. And that’s what we focus on.” cassidywang2022@u.northwestern.edu

seven-year capital improvement plan that will factor into all future financial decisions. Holloway said Johnson will present this proposed plan to the Board of Trustees in June.

The meeting marked Holloway’s second annual presentation of University finances at Faculty Senate. Holloway first appeared at Senate in January 2018, when he announced the estimated deficit.

The deficit ultimately resulted in NU laying off about 80 staff members and eliminating around 80 funded positions. It also delayed multiple construction projects, including the completion of Mudd Library and the Chicago campus’ Simpson Querrey Biomedical Research Center. New projects like the Donald P. Jacobs Center and Norris University Center are also on hold.

“The cuts we had to make along the way sometimes hit very hard the academic efforts of the University,” Holloway said. “I regret that.”

Senators questioned Holloway and Johnson after their statements, raising concerns about recent cuts to department budgets.

Johnson and Holloway acknowledged these concerns, and said the cuts were determined by department and school heads — not central administrators.

Holloway said that the purpose of his and Johnson’s appearance was to demonstrate the closer partnership between the Provost’s Office and the Office of the Vice President for Business and Finance. “( Johnson) being here to talk about a deeper dive about the University’s budget is not just because he has a greater expertise. It is also a representation of a larger ethos, a change in the culture of the way our office is operating,” Holloway said. “I think it’s important to give (Faculty Senate) background.”

Jeff Garrett, a librarian emeritus, attended the meeting and said he thought the transparency shown by Holloway and Johnson was “wonderful.”

“Their presence showed an indication of their willingness to communicate, and they dealt very constructively with questions from the humanities and professional schools,” he said.

The future of several construction projects was left uncertain. Holloway said unless Northwestern can find donors, Norris’s renovation will remain stalled.

“What we want is cash,” Holloway said, eliciting laughs. “So if you’re offering, we’ll take it.” dvesurai@u.northwestern.edu joshuairvine2022@u.northwestern.edu

LINDSEY LAND Northwestern

75

By RYAN WANGMAN

daily senior staffer @ryanwangman

No. 25 Indiana

Sophomore guard Lindsey Pulliam may have found her home away from home in the Hoosier State.

In a dominant performance on the road Wednesday night, the Maryland native was a nearly perfect 11-13 from the charity stripe and notched a season-high 27 points to lead all scorers and carry Northwestern (107, 3-3 Big Ten) to an upset win over No. 25 Indiana (15-3, 4-2), 75-69.

But this isn’t the first time Pulliam has stolen the show at Assembly Hall.

When NU made its trip to Indiana last season, she exploded for a careerbest 33 points ,as she brought the team back from a 16-point fourthquarter deficit to force overtime in a game that ultimately ended in defeat.

“I mean I like this gym, obviously,” Pulliam said. “I guess it’s a shooter’s gym but I was just aggressive from the jump.”

Pulliam said she didn’t change her approach from last Sunday’s loss to Purdue. Instead, she said she continued to shoot from spots where she spends a lot of time practicing and feels confident in her ability.

For the conference matchup,

Coach Joe McKeown elected to make changes to the starting lineup in the frontcourt, replacing junior center Abbie Wolf and her interior presence at the five with the smaller junior forward Bryana Hopkins and shifting senior center Pallas KunaiyiAkpanah back to her native position.

The move paid off on the defensive end, as the Cats looked more fluid in their rotations and held Indiana — an offense that averaged 73.6 points per game heading into the contest— to 69 points on its home floor.

Pulliam said the team focused its gameplan on trying to get the Hoosiers out of rhythm on offense by protecting the paint and locking down shooters, focusing on containing Indiana’s scoring threats. The strategy paid off as Indiana’s two leading scorers, guard Ali Patberg and forward Brenna Wise, combined to shoot 44 percent from the floor.

“Coach talks about always taking out their best two players and not to let two players beat you,” Pulliam

SWIMMING

said. “So we really keyed in on them and trying to limit their shot attempts and limit them from getting the ball on offense.”

Still without one of its top scorers in junior forward Abi Scheid, NU was forced to look to other options to distribute her minutes and to help shoulder the offensive load. After some early foul trouble, Kunaiyi-Akpanah contributed in a big way with a double-double on 11 points and 11 rebounds. Freshman guard Veronica Burton picked up the rest of the slack with a careerhigh 19 points, sinking five of her 10 threes.

Burton dismissed the idea that there was pressure to fill Scheid’s role in the offense but instead suggested that the team excels at stepping up and finding different ways to put the ball in the basket. She said her career game came after she listened to the advice of those around her.

“Everyone just keeps telling me to shoot the ball, shoot the ball,” Burton said. “I just came into this game with a different mentality and just trying to look for my shot and stuff. So I just listened to them and obviously they trusted me so that gave me more confidence to do so.” ryanw@u.northwestern.edu

WOMEN’S TENNIS

NU starts Big Ten era under new coach Freshman

By BENJAMIN ROSENBERG

daily senior staffer @bxrosenberg

After a break of just over two months, Northwestern will hit the pool again on Saturday, opening the winter portion of its season with a trip to Iowa City to face a pair of Big Ten foes. The Wildcats will be up against Wisconsin as well as the host, the Hawkeyes.

NU will be in for a tough battle against the Badgers, whose men are ranked No. 24 nationally and whose women are ranked No. 14. Firstyear coach Jeremy Kipp said the Cats and Wisconsin are strong in similar events on the women’s side.

“Swimming is funny, there’s so many different events, and the Wisconsin swimmers and our swimmers match up really well,” Kipp said. “It’ll be a good chance to race, get some good competition.”

To stay in shape during the long layoff, NU traveled to San Diego during Winter Break for a training trip. Kipp said he considered the trip a success — the team accomplished its goals in San Diego and got in some fast swimming.

The Cats also cheered on the NU football team in San Diego, going to the Holiday Bowl to watch Pat Fitzgerald’s team defeat Utah.

“We stayed for the whole game, so we got to see that amazing comeback, so I think in terms of team building, it’s a perfect example,” Kipp said. “It’s raining, it’s cold, your team’s down, and you never want to give up on the Cats.”

Both NU programs are coming off wins at the TYR Invitational in November. The men had strong performances from freshmen Ryan Gridley and Henry Blaul and sophomore DJ Hwang, who all had firstplace finishes. The women were led by freshman Tara Vovk, sophomore Rachel Tseng, sophomore Melissa Melnick and junior Malorie Han, all of whom touched in first in at least one individual event.

Perhaps brightest among the stars at the TYR Invitational was sophomore Calypso Sheridan, who set a school and pool record in winning the 200-yard backstroke. The Brisbane, Australia native also took first place in the 100-yard individual medley.

Sheridan said she has specific goals for the Cats in their meet this weekend.

“It would be amazing if we had, in every single event, a top-three finish,” Sheridan said. “That ’s doable for some people on the

team, but to have a strong team you really need everybody to get up there and feel the spirit and to try and go for those top-three spots.”

The NU men beat both the Hawkeyes and Badgers in the 2013-14 season, but have not won a Big Ten dual meet since against any opponent. The women have had their share of success against Iowa of late, but Wisconsin has been a thorn in their side in recent years.

Senior Tyler Lis, however, is confident the Cats can change the narrative this weekend and said

combining the men’s and women’s programs this season has brought much-needed change to the team culture.

“I think we can win. I think we can beat at least one of the teams, if not both,” Lis said. “But even if we don’t, my expectations are that we show up as a team that’s the new Division I program that we are.

Having the joint teams has been an amazing thing.” benjaminrosenberg2021@u.northwestern. edu

wins Big Ten honor

By CHARLIE GOLDSMITH

daily senior staffer @2021_charlie

Freshman Clarissa Hand, ranked No. 100 in the nation, earned the title of Big Ten Tennis Athlete of the Week following her three-match sweep through the field at the Miami Spring Invite last weekend, becoming the first Wildcats’ rookie since 2015 to gain that recognition.

Last year, Hand was ranked a fivestar recruit by TennisRecruiting.net, and she’s replacing Erin Larner and Maddie Lipp, who graduated after leading NU to last year’s Big Ten regular season championship.

Against the field in Miami, Hand upset No. 7 Estela Perez-Somarriba from Miami 6-3, 6-4 and won two doubles matches as well, leading the Cats to the best finish out of the fourteam field.

“That match (against Perez-Somarriba) started off pretty terribly,” Hand said. “But once I was able to calm down and really play my game, I was able to come out on top.”

In doubles play, Hand and Lee Orr handled a Miami doubles team ranked No. 51 in the NCAA, as well as a duo from Vanderbilt.

Winning 9 of its 12 matches at the event, NU impressed in its first matches of 2019. While inclement weather impacted the event’s schedule throughout and led to the third day being cancelled, coach Claire Pollard said the Cats were able to show they’ll be a difficult team to match up against over the season.

“We hadn’t played in five weeks before this match,” she said. “So I was going in with my eyes wide open, and I think our girls did an outstanding job.” charliegoldsmith2021@u.northwestern.edu
