Despite recession, business booming By tyler pager

the daily northwestern @tylerpager

With business booming, Downtown Evanston says it is not concerned about a decline in property values that help determine its budget.

Since September 2012, 32 businesses have opened in downtown Evanston while only 12 closed or relocated, said Carolyn Dellutri, executive director of Downtown Evanston.

“I think a lot has to do with people remembering to shop local and spend their money in their own community,” she said. “It always helps that we have the Northwestern University students, faculty and staff here — that helps support our businesses.”

Dellutri added that Evanston has become a hot spot for businesses and believes this growth will continue.

“It’s really becoming a 24/7 district, and there’s lots of activity going on,” she said. “So with the public transportation of both the Metra and the El that come to downtown Evanston and with the amount of restaurants and nightlife that’s available, and then all the retail options, I just think it’s a great place to live, to work, to do business.”

Downtown Evanston’s budget depends on a special service area tax, which is based on the value of real estate across the city. The money generated by the tax dropped 20 percent this year, according to city documents.

However, a 2007 ordinance allows the organization to ask for up to $138,000 from the city to supplement the funds from the tax. For 2012, the organization asked for $77,000, but for 2014, it requested the maximum amount.

now open More than 30 businesses have opened in downtown Evanston since last September, according to Downtown Evanston. Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl says she is proud of “each and every one.”

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

Daniel Nissani hates asking for money.

For his first three years at Northwestern, the SESP senior was mostly self-sufficient thanks to his Pell Grant, a federal scholarship issued to students with financial need. But because his mom received a pay raise last year and a chunk of his financial aid was rescinded, he has had to lean on her more heavily than ever.

Even with two jobs and a monitored budget, Nissani expects the rest of Fall Quarter to be rough.

Nissani is one of hundreds of students who qualify for a Federal Pell Grant by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid’s standards — the same group of students the University defines as low income.

Low-income students comprise 14 percent of the class of 2017, and last year comprised 13 percent of the entire student body, which Nissani

said makes them one of the largest but least visible minority groups on campus. As a co-president of Northwestern Quest Scholars, NU’s only low-income advocacy organization, Nissani has been on a two-year campaign to give these students the support and resources they need to excel here — resources already available to students in higher income brackets.

Coming from a lower-class background and grappling with financial stress can make students feel lost and socially alienated, and they don’t always know where to go for help, Nissani said.

“It’s all just to make them feel that they belong on campus. That they really can do this,” he said. “Acclimating is really hard for some of us. …To hear someone be like, ‘My dad just went on his private plane to another country for fun,’ that’s really biting.”

As the University draws more lowincome students with every incoming class, Nissani’s experience resonates with a growing number of students. » See In Focus, page 4

Frank talks Tea Party, gay rights

By Jeanne Kuang

daily senior staffer @jeannekuang

More than 250 people from Northwestern and the surrounding community showed up to hear former U.S. Representative Barney Frank speak about his personal background, experiences in Congress and political viewpoints Tuesday night in Cahn Auditorium.

Frank, a Democrat from Massachusetts, came to campus as College Democrats’ fall speaker. Answering questions posed by political science and Medill Prof. Larry Stuelpnagel, the politician punctuated his talk with jokes about government figures and current events, which the audience welcomed with laughter and applause.

Frank discussed what he called the two barriers to his becoming a politician during his early life: being Jewish and being gay. Though he is known for being the first openly gay member of Congress, he said he initially wanted to hide his identity.

“I decided that I would simply never tell anybody (about being gay),” Frank said. “Anti-Semitism in America was still alive and well in the immediate post-war period. … The problem on the other hand was it was too late to hide being Jewish, because I had come out with a bar mitzvah.”

Frank said a shift in LGBT issues in Congress arrived when more of the population came out as gay and “reality won.”

He added that homophobia is becoming a “dying prejudice” in the U.S. When asked about the current state of American politics, Frank commented on the recent rise of the Tea Party movement, which he said doesn’t “accept the legitimacy of the public sector.”

“The most important question in

to be frank Former Congressman Barney Frank speaks about his political career at College Democrats’ fall speaker event in Cahn Auditorium on Tuesday evening. Frank was the first openly gay member of the U.S. Congress.

American politics today is, ‘Do the mainstream conservatives … can they take back the Republican Party from the Tea Party extremists?’” he said. “One of my constituents when I was running said to me, ‘Why can’t you work out things with the Republicans?’ My answer was, ‘You try to make a deal with Michele Bachmann.’”

He cited deep divisions between political parties as reason for the government shutdown earlier this month.

Frank also spoke about the effects of the Dodd-Frank Act, the 2010 financial reform law he co-authored, and advised students interested in politics to find fallbacks for the unpredictable career.

During a question-and-answer session following the talk, Frank defended the need for universal health care provided by the Affordable Care Act but criticized the Obama administration

for how it has handled recent problems with the new health care marketplace.

He also addressed an audience member’s question about LGBT rights legislation with skepticism.

“The absolute precondition for any legislative progress in LGBT rights for the foreseeable future will be having a Democratic president, House and Senate,” he said.

Audience members reacted positively to the talk.

“I thought he was fantastic, hilarious, super on-point with everything he was saying,” SESP senior Sharon Reshef said.

“I think he has a lot of practical ideas that seem idealistic but would ultimately help the country.”

College Democrats president Lauren Izaak said she was happy with Frank’s » See barney frank, page 7

Police Blotter Evanston resident, 73, attacked, robbed at WCTU

A 73-year-old man was attacked and robbed Monday afternoon at the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union in Evanston, according to police.

Parrott said the man, an Evanston resident, told police another man entered the WCTU, 1730 Chicago Ave., and asked about a job shortly before 3:40 p.m. The 73-year-old man thought the other man left for good, but the other man returned, approached the 73-year-old man from behind, threw him to the ground, kicked him in the head and demanded his money.

The other man took a brown wallet containing $70 out of the 73-year-old man’s back pocket and

Parrott said the 73-year-old man was not injured.

Police described the suspect as black, 5-foot-8, 170 pounds, and 25 to 30 years old, as well as having short black hair, a dark complexion, mustache and unshaven beard.

Police are checking surveillance video of the WCTU, Parrott said.

Movie theater to show NC-17 film for 1st time

Evanston’s only movie theater will start showing its first-ever film rated NC-17 on Friday.

Cinemark Century Theatre, 1715 Maple Ave., will begin screening “Blue is the Warmest Color,” a romantic drama that has been cheered by critics for its depictions of same-sex relationships. The French film’s long, graphic sex scenes helped earned it the explicit rating, which does not allow theaters to accept viewers under the age of 17.

Cinemark marketing manager Frank Gonzales said the landmark opening does not represent a “wholesale policy change” for the Plano, Texas-based chain, which still picks which films it runs in different markets using a wide variety of considerations.

“This is just more of a test than anything else to see if an audience is there for NC-17 films” in Evanston, Gonzales said.

He added Cinemark likely picked “Blue is the Warmest Color” to test the waters in Evanston because it has proven popular in New York and Los Angeles, two cities that often screen limited-release films.

“Blue Is the Warmest Color” tells the coming-ofage story of a 15-year-old girl who falls in love with an older woman. In May, the movie film won the Palme d’Or, the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival.

Alumna brings advertising experience to new post

By Mark Ficken

the daily northwestern @mark_ficken

After almost 30 years as an advertising executive, Mary Baglivo is returning to Northwestern as the school’s first chief marketing officer with plans to move beyond traditional marketing to communicate the NU experience.

Baglivo, who earned her master’s degree in integrated marketing communications from NU in 1981, was CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi from 2004 to 2008, when she added a role as CEO of the Americas division.

Under her leadership, the global advertising company helped launch Lenovo Computers in America after the firm’s acquisition of IBM’s PC division in May 2005. Since then, Lenovo’s stock price has risen 135 percent, making it the largest PC manufacturer in the world.

In approaching her new position, Baglivo said she her first goal is to help develop a “compelling and cohesive” brand for the University.

She said she wants to move beyond traditional marketing strategies and communicate NU’s brand through the different experiences of the community, including students, faculty, alumni and potential applicants.

Although Baglivo has ideas, she said the first thing she is going to do is hear those of others.

“I really want to make sure I listen and then develop a cohesive point of view that other stakeholders really believe and buy into and then ultimately choose what our execution will be,” she said.

Baglivo compared the collaborative nature of advertising agencies to that of NU. “I think that the kinds of people that work in agencies are eclectic like the many various kinds of talented people that work in a university,” she said.

In addition to the Lenovo launch, Baglivo worked on campaigns for General Mills, Miller Brands, Procter & Gamble, J.C. Penney and Wendy’s.

It was during her tenure she was named the New York Advertising Woman of the Year for her quick thinking and leadership.

Baglivo’s position was created after a committee formed by University President Morton Schapiro assessed the University’s branding and image.

The committee recommended two major improvements: working on NU’s brand I really want position and hiring to make sure someone with experience from the field to I listen and lead this change. then develop Provost Dan Linzer said the University’s a cohesive past branding had been point of view too disconnected. that other “We were telling school-specific stories stakeholders better than the univerreally believe sity story,” Linzer said.

“We didn’t have anyone and buy into. bringing (the schools) Mary Baglivo, together and saying, chief marketing ‘Well, what’s similar officer about your messages, and how do we tell that in a unified way?’”

Baglivo said she was initially drawn to the new position because she felt she had the experience necessary to be successful — and because of her deep affection for her alma mater.

“I have a lot of respect for the place and what it has achieved, and I really do think that, at its core, a university does very significant, highly valued things for the world in terms of research, findings and meaningful artistic

developments,” she said.

Baglivo said her connection to NU keeps bringing her back to campus. She was a member of the Board of Trustees and her son graduated from the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences in 2012.

Linzer said this dedication to the school was exactly what the committee was looking for.

“We didn’t want to hire someone from outside who would have to come in and learn about (Northwestern) but someone who had

it in her bones,”’ he said. “She got it.”

Overall, Baglivo is looking forward to her tenure at NU. “I’m excited about it, and I think the achievements that the University has made … are really impressive,” she said. “It’s really great to be in this position to work with something that performs well as a starting point. That I am thrilled about.” markficken2017@u.northwestern.edu

It becomes a vicious cycle if you let it. You’re upset at the amount of schoolwork you have ‘cause you can’t work enough and you’re upset at the amount of work you have because you can’t do your schoolwork enough. ­— Yjaden Wood, Weinberg and McCormick sophomore

They face hurdles that no one else does here, and they stick with it.

And they’re really independent — most of them have been independent their whole lives. ­— Mary Desler, senior assessment analyst for student affairs

We do not have socioeconomic diversity.

People don’t really come here unless they have a lot of money. … You walk around and everyone’s wearing North Face and Hunter Boots and Uggs. ­— Chloe Frizelle,

New admissions recruitment strategies, funded research from Student Affairs and input from student groups are all part of NU’s concerted effort to change its reputation as a “rich kid school” and include socioeconomic status in its definition of diversity.

‘A vicious cycle’ For Communication senior Daniel Flores, the hardest part about coming to NU as a first-generation college student was the culture shock of an elite environment. After attending an all-Mexican high school in San Antonio, one of the most economically segregated areas in the country, Flores found that being around people from wealthier backgrounds required adjustment. “(Other kids) are not coming from public schools like mine,” Flores said, who is the other co-president of Quest. “There’s nothing wrong with that. But advisors, staff, other students, they treat you like you’re from there. So when they found out I was struggling, just learning about college because my parents didn’t go, the staff had no training and no idea what I was dealing

with.”

A 2012 Kellogg Study found that first-generation students from community-oriented backgrounds have a harder time adjusting to college because their parents were unable to adequately prepare them. The study refers to a “culture mismatch” between first-generation students and those whose parents attended college. A closely related concept is “cultural capital,” a classspecific vocabulary and set of learned behaviors that low-income students may not be equipped with. “(Low-income students) can feel like they have fewer resources to draw on than a lot of their classmates,” sociology Prof. Karrie Snyder said.

“If you didn’t grow up in a middle or elite household and you didn’t go to Europe or a museum, those types of things can make students feel like they’re not part of an institution where there’s a wide diversity in socioeconomic statuses.”

Yjaden Wood, a dual-degree Weinberg and McCormick sophomore from a low-income neighborhood in Philadelphia, said he had to adapt financially to Evanston, where the cost of living is higher than the national average.

Financial aid distribution

From page 4

A new kind of diversity Last fall, Flores approached the Office of Student Affairs with the idea of organizing focus groups to learn more about low-income students.

Conducted in the spring, the groups resulted in the recently compiled report “Undergraduate Students from Low-Income Family Backgrounds and the Northwestern Experience.”

The series, which involved about 50 low-income students in groups of eight to 10, found that the participants deal with added stressors that other students do not. Although the classroom experience is basically the same for all students, the social experience is very different, said Mary Desler, senior assessment analyst for Student Affairs.

“I was really impressed with the resiliency of these students,” Desler said. “They face hurdles that no one else does here, and they stick with it.

And they’re really independent — most of them have been independent their whole lives.”

McCormick senior Chloe Frizelle, born and raised in Hawaii, became a legal independent at age 18 and has no family income to rely on. She has been saving money since she was young and has been able to figure out all of her NU expenses on her own, including some tuition. On campus, she is involved with Hawaii Club, women’s rugby, Cru. and Engineers for a Sustainable World.

Frizelle said she is generally happy and wellsupported at NU but still feels different from most of the student body.

“Northwestern prides itself on this diversity that we have,” she said. “Maybe ethnic and

ranks cities based on an index where “100” is the average cost of living, Evanston comes in at 122 for living expenses and 108 for food expenses.

In comparison, the cost of living in Chicago is 105. “(Evanston) is definitely a change from back home,” Wood said. “Back home we have the dime and nickel stores, which don’t really exist here.

You go to CVS for everything, and it’s usually more expensive than it would be normally. I don’t shop at Whole Foods when I need anything because Whole Foods is expensive. I make the walk to Jewel-Osco.”

Wei-Jen Huang, assistant director for community relations at Counseling and Psychological Services, said low-income students have talked to him about feelings of isolation and exclusion.

The stress of coursework and budgeting puts a lot of weight on students’ shoulders and makes it more difficult for them to participate in social life, he said.

“They don’t want to acknowledge they have less,” Huang said. “They don’t want people to pity them. They don’t want to create discomfort.

So they find excuses not to go to those expensive places.”

Wood works three jobs outside the University in addition to a full course load and pays his own personal expenses, while also sending money home to his two siblings and saving 10 percent of all income in a “rainy day fund.” He lacks a working cell phone because he did not have the money to pay his last phone bill, but since he never had one growing up, he said it’s not a priority.

Wood does all of his budgeting in Microsoft Excel — a habit he picked up early in life — and tries to stick to recreational activities that are free, like visiting the Art Institute of Chicago, which now waives admission for NU students as part of a new partnership with the University.

“It becomes a vicious cycle if you let it,” he said.

“You’re upset at the amount of schoolwork you have ‘cause you can’t work enough, and you’re upset at the amount of work you have because you can’t do your schoolwork enough, and you get angry at yourself and at your financial situation and it doesn’t really help you.”

cultural diversity, I’ll give you. But socioeconomic diversity? No. We do not have socioeconomic diversity. People don’t really come here unless they have a lot of money. …You walk around and everyone’s wearing North Face and Hunter Boots and Uggs.”

Lesley-Ann Brown, director of the new office of Campus Inclusion and Community, said the University is still learning how to better serve NU’s low-income population through an initiative called Sustained Dialogue, a student-led, 90-minute conversation about diversity held weekly on campus. Piloted last spring with 55 students, this fall 100 students are enrolled with nine groups meeting each week. It is a signature program of the Department of Campus Inclusion and Community that will continue to be offered in the future, Brown said.

One goal of Sustained Dialogue is to highlight less-acknowledged minorities, including lowincome students. Economic status is a particularly difficult issue to talk about because both low-income and high-income students can be embarrassed about or ashamed of their backgrounds, Brown said.

“When people think about diversity at Northwestern they’re not thinking economic diversity, but I think that that’s beginning to change,” Brown said. “Once people start feeling guilty or ashamed, they don’t take in anything or they don’t give anything to the dialogue. Guilt and shame is not my goal.”

Creating a safe space A key way to make low-income students more comfortable involves creating a forum where they can find and consult one another, Nissani said.

Quest, founded two years ago, stemmed from the national nonprofit QuestBridge, which currently provides scholarships for 300 NU students.

NU is one of the biggest partners of QuestBridge, which pairs underserved students with top universities. With 95 Quest scholars, the class of 2017 has the highest number since the collaboration began in 2008.

After a lot of paperwork, the group finally opened its office in Norris University Center this fall. About 60 students attend Quest’s monthly meetings, but Nissani said he hopes to reach as many low-income students as possible, whether they are part of the QuestBridge program or not.

“The safe space is necessary for the same reason there needs to be a space to talk about race issues, LGBTQA issues, disability issues,” he said.

“It’s because it’s an identity that isn’t necessarily accepted by everyone, whether it’s subconscious or conscious.”

Beyond providing a safe space, Quest also works

with the University to assess barriers that exclude low-income students, such as expensive tickets to formal dances, Greek dues and Dance Marathon fees. Before Wildcat Welcome, Quest trained peer advisers about low-income sensitivity, suggesting they give students a heads up about how expensive a planned group dinner might be or discussing alternative options such as aa potluck instead.

Last week, Associated Student Government unanimously voted to allocate $4,000 of the Senate Project Pool to subsidize DM registration fees for students in financial need. The money will be distributed by Center of Student Involvement staff based on level of need. David Harris, co-chair of public relations for DM and co-author of the allocation bill, said there have already been more than 100 requests for financial help.

Quest will have a DM team for the first time this year, and Harris said they are the kind of students he hopes will benefit from the ASG donation.

“It’s an opportunity for us to bring a broader audience to such an important event in our They don’t want community,” Harris said. to acknowledge “It’s been really enlightsharing our office they have less. ening with the Quest scholars.

Quest also provides professional resources. On Wei-Jen Huang, Oct. 30, Quest will host CAPS assistant a career event to discuss director for paid internships, research community grants and other affordrelations able work opportunities in the summer.

Unlike many NU students, who pursue unpaid internships to gain valuable career experience and bolster their resumes, Flores usually has to work instead. During the academic year he supports himself and his sister in Peru through two work study jobs — one at Hispanic/Latino Student Affairs and one as a tour guide. Long periods of time without income are not an option for most low-income students, he said.

Until this year, Medill students were not permitted to work during their quarter-long Journalism Residencies, a policy that has recently changed due to students’ financial concerns. Flores noted the difficulty of completing academically relevant work while saving money at the same time.

“I’ve let down some really amazing internships,” he said. “I did Chicago Field Studies and that was difficult, even though they gave me some money.

I wasn’t allowed to work, so I was losing a large amount of income. I needed more money to pay for the train.”

A ‘responsibility to educate’

Source: Northwestern Quest Scholars

ADVOCACY Quest president Daniel Nissani gives a presentation at the last meeting of the quarter during Winter 2012. Quest is the NU student chapter of the national Questbridge scholarship program.

Recruitment efforts for low-income students increase every year and start before students even enroll, said Christopher Watson, dean of undergraduate admissions. Last year, 13 percent of the student body qualified as low-income, up from 8 percent in 2004.

In addition to QuestBridge, NU increases its visibility in low-income areas through other partnerships with community organizations.

In the past two years, NU has teamed up with the Chicago Scholars, a nonprofit organization that guides Chicago students to college success, and the Los Angeles site of The Posse Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit that provides hundreds of Los Angeles public school students with scholarships each year.

NU enrolled 72 students of Chicago Public Schools in 2012, up from 28 in 2008, according to associate provost Michael Mills. For the class of

2017, 10 Los Angeles public school students came to NU with Posse scholarships, Watson said.

“Northwestern has a responsibility to educate all different kinds of students,” Watson said. “And all different kinds of students should be the beneficiary of an education here, and there shouldn’t be financial barriers to that.”

University officials emphasize that NU accommodates students of all socioeconomic statuses. Last fall, NU spent $118 million dollars on student aid, up from $94 million two years ago. The increase in financial aid has resulted in more students receiving help — 51 percent in 2012 as compared to 44.9 percent in 2006. This includes University aid, federal and state aid and outside grants and scholarships.

Information about financial aid is distributed during tours and at Wildcat Days, for which prospective low-income students can request free or subsidized plane tickets in order to attend.

“There’s still the impression that it’s a wealthy, white student school — and especially because we’re on the north shore of Chicago,” Watson said. “The more we can present opportunities for kids to either see campus or meet Northwestern students that have a similar background, the better our recruiting results will be, and that just takes time.”

A need for support In comparison to other universities, NU is generous when it comes to giving money to students in need, but it could use improvement when it comes to follow-up and support, Nissani said.

For example, when Nissani found his Pell grant was changing due to his mom’s new job, he was shocked and unsure about where to go for help.

With a smaller refund for living expenses and a health insurance plan to pay for, Nissani and his mom have had to be extra careful this quarter. His mother, who lives and works in Queens, N.Y., has only visited campus once due to financial constraints and will probably not do so again until he graduates.

“If you’re low-income and your mom finally saved some money … does the University really think it’s appropriate to start zapping money from them?” Nissani said. “There are Quest scholars that are really distraught about this, who are like, ‘My mom got a new job, but I don’t know how we’re going to pay for school anymore.’ That’s our reality.”

When students are having trouble with their aid packages or anything else having to do with finances, it is difficult to get in touch with the right people, Flores said.

When Wood could not afford to fly home for Spring Break his freshman year, he needed to find a place to stay while Willard Residential College shut down for the week — a problem that proved more difficult than he expected.

After being transferred back and forth between the housing and financial aid offices multiple times, he eventually found an apartment to sleep at through Quest.

He said the administration is generally responsive to students’ financial problems, but does not always have programs in place to deal with them.

“In most cases, we’re all smart. We can figure it out,” he said. “It would be nice to have someone with more experience to direct you in the beginning when you have other things going on. It’s very hard to find the time, because you have to find the time to figure out a lot of your situation. Like where do I go, what should I do, how do I do this?”

This confusion, especially among new students, is part of why Flores and Nissani put so much effort into keeping the Quest community alive.

“NU doesn’t do a great job advertising how you go about things if you don’t have money,” Flores said. “You have to go through so many hoops to figure out the answer to a question; we want to make sure students have the right resources. There is a steep learning curve when it comes to being low-income at NU, and we’re trying to level that playing field.” samanthacaiola2014@u.northwestern.edu

World Series losing viewership, not quality Bob Hayes

Daily columnist

Whether or not you are one of the roughly 16 million people who have watched this year’s World Series — the culmination of America’s national pastime — between the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals and the American League-winning Boston Red Sox, you are probably aware of the steady decline over the years of baseball viewership, particularly viewership of the World Series.

Just a few decades ago, the Fall Classic represented not only the biggest event of the sporting year, but also the apotheosis of America’s television watching. According to Baseball Almanac, the 1978 World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers reached more than 44 million viewers, about 56 percent of the television share.

Last season, the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers, two good-sized markets with historically relevant franchises, drew a record-low 12.7 million viewers, representing around a 12 percent share of television viewership.

This year’s Fall Classic between two of the sport’s franchises that draw the most national interest has shown about an 11 percent increase in viewers over last year, but viewership remains far below the level it reached

just thirty years ago.

Why, then, does it appear that national interest in the World Series has declined so dramatically? Well, the question may more simply be, why is national interest in America’s Pastime as a whole declining so rapidly?

More than any other American sport, baseball has become a regional game. Fans root for their local teams and largely ignore the stories coming from the majority of Major League teams.

A key reason for this is that unlike the NFL and partially the NBA, MLB teams all have regional television deals. Most nights, baseball fans only have the ability to watch teams within their respective markets. Thus, even if a fan wanted to follow other teams throughout the season, it would be tough to maintain a regular following throughout the year because he or she cannot regularly watch other teams on TV. By contrast, the NFL has made it increasingly easier to follow every team each weekend via its national television deal, and even the NBA allows fans across the country to watch a majority of its headlining teams on a regular basis. My NBA team only plays every third night and my NFL team only plays in one of the five weekly slots showcasing football games, so I have the ability to gain an interest in teams from around the country.

Whereas with baseball, my team plays every night, so I have the realistic ability to watch only my team. Thus, my general knowledge and interest level in other teams around the country is substantially lower than it is for other sports, simply because

MLB teams from other cities are far less accessible than out-of-town NFL and NBA teams.

Furthermore, MLB’s inability to market stars since the Steroid Era has made baseball a faceless game. Much of television networks’ marketing and media analysis of baseball are directed to teams as a whole and the game itself, rather than toward individual players. Whenever a star like Chris Davis draws national excitement, it is quickly followed by disdain from fans who have been burned Just a few too many times by decades ago, PED-enhanced stars. the Fall Classic Beyond that, it is hard to market players who represented only step to the plate not only the four times a game or pitch every fifth day, biggest event LeBron James of the sporting whereas is on the court for year, but also more than 40 minutes the apotheosis a night and Peyton Manning takes every of America’s snap. The effect is a World Series between television teams that collectively watching. have no more than a few players whom armchair fans can name.

Although interest in baseball has declined in recent decades because of the relative regionalization of baseball as well as the lack of marketable superstars, the World Series itself has faced issues because of its timing

“

during the year. The Fall Classic takes place during the primetime of the ever-growing NFL and college football seasons, as well as the beginning of the increasingly popular NBA season. Moreover, although the NBA Finals takes place during the summer against very few network television shows, the World Series competes with a number of fall television show premieres. The overall effect of all the competition from other sports and programming was nearly nonexistent in the 1970s and ‘80s and is a significant factor in the decline of the overall share of television viewership.

Overall, the decline in viewership numbers may be as much an effect of the growing amount of competition from television programming as it is an effect of the decline in national interest towards baseball.

Still, despite competing with the NFL and college football, the MLB has reported that FOX has drawn the largest primetime audience in each of the World Series games thus far.

After five of the most dramatic World Series games in recent history, Game Six from Boston begins at 7:07 CST on Wednesday. Although your team may not be in it, or there are three shows you want to watch, this World Series has proven that the allure of America’s National Pastime lives on.

Daydreaming does more good than you think Kaitlyn Vines

Daily columnist

“Snap out of it! Pay attention! Focus!”

These are the phrases that I heard intermittently throughout high school. I always had that one class in which I just couldn’t help but daydream sometimes. I thought that letting my mind wander was one of my most problematic shortcomings, and it was something that I continually worked to improve.

However, this is no longer the case. Today, I am a proud proponent of occasional daydreaming. Although this amusing activity often gets a bad reputation for being a waste of time, it has some major benefits that are too often overlooked.

In this busy, bustling world, people are constantly searching for ways to relax. It just so happens that daydreaming — something people actively attempt to eliminate

The Drawing Board

from their lives — is a great stress reliever.

Daydreaming is said to be the mind’s way of taking a break, and it can be extremely useful for reducing anxiety and phobias by allowing mental rehearsal and the practice of deep breathing. To cope with things such as an overload of work or a fear of flying, daydreaming can help relieve this stress quickly and inexpensively. Many people don’t have the time or the money to go out of their way for stress-relieving activities, such as getting massages or doing yoga, so daydreaming throughout the day is an awesome alternative.

Additionally, daydreaming is constructive in that it helps us solve problems. A study from University of British Columbia discovered that the areas of the brain associated with complex problem-solving are more active when people daydream than when people focus on a routine task. Also, through daydreams people are able to be more creative and imaginative. This can help in the problem-solving process by allowing people to invent novel solutions. Daydreaming

allows people to better manage their personal conflicts as well as to find more effective solutions to problems at work or school.

Another way that daydreaming is beneficial is that it is related to a better working memory. A study published in Psychological Science showed that wandering minds correlated with higher scores on a working memory test. This shows that daydreamers could potentially be better at remembering things. As a student, I used to be concerned that daydreaming would distract me from retaining the information that was taught in each class. In my advanced placement psychology class in particular, I was always surprised when I did better on quizzes after a period of daydreaming than I did on quizzes when I had focused on the lecture the entire time. It turns out that focusing on each detail in the lecture actually caused me to retain less material than if I had let my mind wander a little.

Although it might sound contradictory, daydreaming is not a waste of time; it is actually an activity that can help improve a

person’s life. Daydreaming is an activity that assists in relaxation, problem-solving and memory retention. Occasional daydreaming is not a massive shortcoming that should be eliminated. Rather, it is a useful practice that should be embraced and promoted.

Ultimately, daydreaming is a sign of healthy mind. It keeps the brain stimulated when it is faced with boring or monotonous tasks. It also indicates that your brain is functioning according to typical development patterns, as people with Alzheimer’s disease or autism have trouble with daydreaming.

When my teachers used to tell me to “snap out of it” and “pay attention” in class, I always felt embarrassed, as if I was the only one who couldn’t focus, as if something was wrong with me. In reality, my occasional daydreaming was just a reminder that my brain was healthy, stimulated and functioning normally.

Whole Foods hosts tour to promote healthy foods

By Jennifer Ball

the daily northwestern @jennifercball

Asked Tuesday evening why Whole Foods would hold a free tour for its customers, Jessica Hochman had a simple answer: “To empower people and eat healthy.”

Evanston residents and Whole Foods shoppers came out to attend the free tour and Q-and-A session with Hochman, a team member at the grocery store, 1640 Chicago Ave. Jessyca Dudley, the city’s public health educator, hosted the event with Hochman.

She explained the scientific side of eating healthy.

“It’s hard for a health department to be fun in a community,” Dudley said. “We’re interested in individuals, not just in outbreaks.”

The visitors were provided with healthy eating recipes to cook at home and samples of Honeycrisp apples, organic salads and pizzas with a more nutritious crust.

Hochman led participants through racks of different-colored fruit in the produce department, where she encouraged them “to eat the rainbow.”

She touted the benefits of cooking without oil, drawing on her experience from a 28-day healthy eating challenge last summer.

“I cook with a lot less oil because I learned ways to cook without it,” she said.

Business From page 1

Hochman took the residents through the bulk aisle, where she told them how to make their own trail mix.

She toured the entire store, including the meat department, where she emphasized portion control. She was a vegetarian for six years and changed her eating habits to include meat, out of “culinary curiosity.”

Dudley also urged the customers to cut down on daily sugar intake, stressing “there are so many ways to get the sweet without the sugar.” Hochman suggested adding fruit juice to non-sweetened black iced tea or coconut water as healthy alternatives.

After more than 15 years at the Chicago Avenue location, Whole Foods has also started doing its own juicing. It also offers cooking classes in a room above the store.

As she finished a slice of pepper-and-olive pizza provided by Whole Foods, Delores Walker said she came to the tour to learn more about nutrition and health.

“I know a lot, but a little more wouldn’t hurt,” said Walker, who shops at the store once or twice a week.

Hochman said she wanted to bring Dudley in to give a better outlook to people about healthy eating.

“They can come to us if they have questions,” Hochman said. “Healthy eating can be scary if approached the wrong way.” jenniferball2015@u.northwestern.edu

health nut Jessica Hochman tells city residents “to eat the rainbow” Tuesday evening. It was one of many tips she shared during a tour of Whole Foods, 1640 Chicago Ave.

Development Committee unanimously approved the request.

Committee member Seth Freeman said he supported giving the extra money to Downtown Evanston due to the city’s existing agreement with the organization and the work that it does.

“I think they deserve everything,” he said. “They do a great job.”

Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl spoke about the growth of business in Evanston last week on an episode of “The Reporters.” She highlighted the fact that 50 businesses have opened this year throughout the entire city, though in the past the annual average was about 30.

“The event itself was a great combination of levity and information,” the Weinberg senior said. “It was more than just a stale lecture. … I feel like there was a good array of questions.”

Izaak also noted the high turnout of both students and local residents.

Tisdahl joins statewide effort to push immigration reform

Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl signed a letter last week urging Illinois congressmen to pursue comprehensive immigration reform.

Tisdahl joined 20 other mayors from across the state in the petition, which was sent to lawmakers Oct. 23. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel led the effort with the support of FWD.us, a lobbying group started by tech leaders including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to advocate for new immigration and education laws.

The letter emphasizes the economic benefit of relaxing immigration policy, pointing out that the state’s unemployment rate is about 2 percent higher than the national average. Nearly one in 10 Illinois residents was unemployed as of August, compared to 7.3 percent of Americans, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Unemployment is higher in Chicago, with a rate of 11.2 percent as of July.

“We cannot hope to achieve the growth necessary to repair the damage done by the recession without bringing 11 million people out of the shadows and fully integrated into our economy,” the letter reads. “We also cannot stand by while our high-skill and low-skill visa programs operate so ineffectively giving our businesses little assistance

“I’m proud of each and every one,” she said. “I’m delighted that businesses are coming to Evanston, and it’s a smart move on their part and we’re welcoming them.”

Tisdahl said she also wants more businesses that start at Northwestern to stay in Evanston.

“We talked to everyone that’s willing to talk to us about ways to keep businesses that are incubated at NU in Evanston when they grow too big and have been at NU too long and they need to move,” she said.

Tisdahl remains excited about the future of business development.

“I’ve cut a lot of ribbons and I’m happy to cut more,” she said. “No complaints.” tylerpager2017@u.northwestern.edu the community as well into our programming,” she said, adding that College Democrats increased its fall speaker advertising this year to encourage higher attendance from people outside NU. Frank served in the House from 1981 to 2013. He was the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee from January 2007 to January 2011.

The event was co-hosted by NU Hillel, Northwestern Law School Democrats, Rainbow Alliance and NU Political Union. jeannekuang2016@u.northwestern.edu in finding the workers they need to grow.”

The mayors also cite a Center for American Progress study that found immigration reform could create as many as 900,000 jobs and increase the gross domestic product by $1.5 trillion in a decade.

The letter does not outline specific policy initiatives. However, it does acknowledge that lawmakers need a “realistic and fair plan.”

“By the same token, a secure border — a worthy goal that any bill must strengthen — will ensure that we don’t find ourselves trying to tackle this problem again in 10 0r 20 years,” the mayors wrote.

This isn’t Evanston’s first foray into immigration reform. Tisdahl is listed as a member of Group of 500, a coalition of Midwestern business and political leaders working on the cause. And University President Morton Schapiro has not been shy about Northwestern’s stake in the debate: In 2010, he signed a letter from nine Illinois college administrators supporting the DREAM Act. That missive also warned of the current immigration law’s dire economical consequences.

“The time is now,” the 2010 letter concludes.

“Our economy cannot afford to shun another business owner. Our military cannot afford to spurn another recruit. And our universities should again be institutions where hard work is rewarded without regard to the personal status of our students.”

Loyola rides Purple Line north to NU By enrique perez

No. 25 Northwestern returns home in search of a win against Loyola to set it on the right path.

After suffering another overtime loss this weekend, the Wildcats (8-4-3, 1-2-1 Big Ten) need a win to right the course for the few games left in the regular season. Wednesday night’s showdown against the Ramblers (4-9-2) will be pivotal, as NU has played four games without a It’s definitely win.

NU hopes to go above .500 at Lakeside Field and seeks a welcomed home victory after a brutal road trip.

“Well, Sunday was a tough day,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “It’s great to be home again. The season, no matter what we do, will be determined by what we do in the next three games.”

In a way, the Cats won’t be the only ones home again Wednesday night. Loyola’s coach, Neil Jones, spent his last three seasons as associate head coach for NU. In December of 2012, he joined the Ramblers in their pursuit of success. Most

Loyola vs. No. 25 Northwestern Evanston 7 p.m. Wednesday

recently, Jones and his Loyola squad beat Southern Illinois Edwardsville 1-0 in overtime. Momentum looks to be swinging in their favor, but NU has learned from its previous competitions.

“It’s definitely given us a wake up call in these past few games,” freshman midfielder Jeffrey Hopson said. “In how to improve and going forward, we really need to focus.”

Another talking point is the amount of overtime games the Cats have played this season. They have had seven thus far, the last four consecutive matchups falling into this category. Fatigue becomes a considerable concern at this point, but the Cats have retained a relatively clean bill of health with most starters.

Last year, NU took care of business and beat Loyola on the Ramblers’ home field 2-0. The home field poses a potential point of advantage, but games have had a tendency of grinding to the very end this season.

Sophomore goalkeeper Zak Allen is a Chicago native and hasn’t had a problem adjusting to playing between the posts thanks to his teammates.

“It’s been a little tough getting into the habit, but I think I’ve been playing well and with confidence,” Allen said. “I think the team’s been helping me out. Penn State was a tough game and it was a tough plane ride home, but I think we’ve talked it over. We’re starting to have confidence coming back into our last three home games. We’re looking forward to it.”

Lenahan finds both teams’ similarities an interesting situation in terms of game planning, with Jones at the helm for the opposition.

“Loyola’s going to look very similar to us,” Lenahan said. “You’re going to see a lot of things that are similar, and a lot of terminology is going to be the same. Obviously, he’s going to put his own stamp on it. When the whistle blows, we need

She helped the U.S. Junior National Team win the gold at the 2008 Junior Pan American Games in Mexico City and played under current Northwestern coach Tracey Fuchs for a few years on the Junior National team before ever setting foot in Evanston.

Once Fuchs and Puffenberger parted ways, Puffenberger attended college at the University of Virginia.

Playing for the Cavaliers eventually drained the fun and excitement she had previously gotten out of her favorite game. She played for two years at Virginia and then took her junior year off but still enrolled in classes at the school.

“In terms of how I was developing as a player and how happy I was on the team, (Virginia) just wasn’t really satisfying me,” Puffenberger said. “I took a year off from field hockey and wasn’t sure if I wanted to play again because UVA was such a bad

The Dallas, Pa., native was also third on the team in assists.

“She’s really helped us get to the next level,” Fuchs said. “Her speed and ability to eliminate players and to take one-on-one (matchups) has really helped our program. … She’s our playmaker on attack. She is, I think, one of the best attackers in the country. She’s just able to get by people and make things happen.

She’s a good finisher and also likes

This season, Puffenberger is third on the team in assists, second in shots-on-goal and fifth in goals.

“It’s not Tracey Fuchs, about wins and losses, field hockey coach it’s about her enjoying the sport she grew up loving, and loving it again,” Fuchs said. “(My favorite memory of her) is probably her playing her first match with us at Northwestern after she sat out a year at Virginia.

Just to see her happy on the hockey field and to see her just going out and playing for the love of the game.

I think that’s probably in general one of my best stories about Puff.”

Adversity was dripping along Northwestern’s side of the pool after its first race Friday against Western Kentucky.

Coach Jarod Schroeder gambled and put senior Chase Stephens, who was scheduled to swim three other freestyle events later, in the relay hoping to guarantee an early victory for the Wildcats. But even though NU posted tremendous splits in the 400yard medley relay, the plan backfired as Western Kentucky’s top group picked up a win and set a pool record in the process. Yet when pushed up against the wall, the young Cats fought back and ground out a 161-139 finish over the Hilltoppers.

“I like the way they responded after we lost a race we were expecting to win,” Schroeder said. “That’s something they haven’t done well in the past. Western Kentucky is a lot deeper team than I gave them credit for. I thought they swam really well and they wanted to win the meet. But I was happy with the way my guys took on the challenge.”

Following the loss in the first event, sophomore Jordan Wilimovsky silenced a loud Bowling Green, Ky., crowd when he won the 1,000-yard freestyle event by more than 9 seconds. His time of 9:18.09 was especially impressive because Wilimovsky was not able to go below 9:20.64 all of last year.

Stephens said having Wilimovsky follow up that relay with a blowout win was huge motivation for the team.

“He’s a stone cold shooter,” he said.

“He’s a really good racer and competitor. His leadership in the next couple of years is definitely going to be looked after by the other guys coming in.”

Stephens rebounded from the loss in the medley by snagging a win in the 200-yard freestyle. The Cats then outtouched the Hilltoppers in the next two events, the 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard breaststroke, by .03 seconds in each race.

But Stephens wasn’t done. He left his mark at the Bill Powell Natatorium when he set a pool record in the 50-yard freestyle and later won the stroke at double the distance.

Freshman Charlie Cole has earned the praise of his teammates and coach after two meets. He’s had the difficult task of trying to keep up with the speedy Wilimovsky in practice, but the results have been all positive.

Cole finished behind his sophomore counterpart in the 500-yard freestyle and third in the 1,000-yard freestyle on Friday.

Wilimovsky said the team tried to instill a positive attitude among its younger swimmers, who dealt with their first taste of adversity in collegiate competition.

“When we go out there, we can’t let one bad swim change the way everyone else races,” he said. “We just have to stay positive and keep having good swims no matter what.”

After having a week off, NU will head to West Lafayette, Ind., to face Purdue and Ohio State. The Cats have not beaten a Big Ten team since early 2011 when they pulled out a victory against Wisconsin.

Wilimovsky said it will be great to face some of the best swimmers in the conference early in the season.

“I always want to race people who are fast,” he said. “If we can beat them there, we can beat them at Big Tens.” johnpaschall2014@u.northwestern.edu
