Group keeps community archive

Shorefront Legacy Center documents Evanston’s black community By RISHIKA DUGYALA

daily senior staffer @rdugyala822

This story is part of a series of profiles of activist and community groups across Evanston. In 1995, Dino Robinson — anxious to explore the city’s black history — picked apart local archives, hoping to find some records. Any records. He found three sparse file folders labeled “color.” “I thought, ‘Yeah, we can do

this a little better here,’” said Robinson, shaking his head and laughing incredulously at the memory. “So I started doing my own kind of just asking queries. Asking questions.” At first, Evanston’s older black community was wary of Robinson, who — though black himself — was then a “newcomer.” Robinson understood. But the more he spoke with people, the more stories he uncovered and the more names he learned, the more others treated him as if he’d grown up with them. In 2002, Robinson and a team

of other locals established Shorefront Legacy Center: the North Shore’s only community archives for black history. First quartered in Robinson’s home, then in the former Foster School building, the nonprofit center now operates from the basement of Sherman United Methodist Church, 2214 Ridge Ave. The room would be spacious were it not filled with bookshelves and tables, each piled high with volumes of records, photographs and other items. The collections have gone from three file folders labeled “Color”

to more than 250 linear feet of archival material.Still, even with all the work the staff puts in, some community members said Shorefront does not get the respect it deserves city-wide. Yes, the center has recently gained more name recognition: It was involved in the fight for landmark status for the Foster School building and produced the documentary on late ex-mayor Lorraine Morton. But former 5th Ward alderman Delores Holmes said at the very least, Evanston » See SHOREFRONT, page 9

Forty years ago, Regents of the University of California v. Bakke upheld the use of race as a factor in college admissions. And ever since, challenges to the practice have gone unsuccessful, with the court continuing to protect raceconscious admissions policies. With Harvard’s admissions trial coming to a close last Friday, legal analysts predict the lawsuit over the University’s admissions practices could be the next to find its way to the Supreme Court — now a solid conservative majority with the October confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The plaintiff, anti-affirmative action advocacy group Students for Fair Admissions, contends the Ivy League school imposes a quota on Asian Americans while admitting less qualified white, black and Latinx applicants. While the judge’s verdict isn’t expected for weeks — or even months — many proponents of affirmative action fear the all-butcertain subsequent series of appeals could jeopardize formerly upheld practices. The benefits of diversity on college campuses, Harvard’s lead counsel Bill Lee said in court,

“couldn’t be more on trial.” During the proceedings, eight current and former Harvard students — all of whom were nonwhite — took the stand on the eleventh day of trial to testify in defense of the University’s raceconscious admissions policies. Nearly all argued the absence of race as a factor in college admissions would hinder their expression of identity, decrease the University’s diversity and thus, damage their own and others’ college experiences. “Race-blind admissions is an act of erasure” Harvard alumna Sarah Cole, who is black, said in court, according to the Harvard Crimson. “To not see my race is to not see me.”

Diversity’s benefits on trial

Over the summer, Obamaera guidelines that encouraged the consideration of race in college admissions were revoked by the Trump administration to effectively restore more restrictive Bush-era instructions. In response, Northwestern announced it wouldn’t change its admissions practices. The move came as hard-liners in the Justice and Education departments pushed back against the use of race as a reflection and measurement of diversity among colleges and universities’ student bodies. » See HARVARD, page 9

Meeting lengths Residents protest Sessions departure frustrate aldermen Indivisible Evanston leads rally after Attorney General resignation Late nights lead to short tempers, less discussion time By KRISTINA KARISCH, NORA SHELLY daily senior staffers @kristinakarisch, @noracshelly

Mondays tend to be a late night for Evanston’s aldermen and city officials. It’s not Monday Night Football or an impending dread of the rest of the work week that keeps them awake, but council meetings that start in the evening and sometimes stretch into the early hours of the next morning. “It’s insane. They just go on forever,” Ald. Tom Suffredin (6th) said. “Everyone talks for a very long time, and nobody really listens, and then either we plow through or everyone’s like: ‘Oh, it’s too late, we can’t talk about anything more.’ It’s nuts.” Suffredin has only been on council for about a year and a half, but he’s right: In 2016, city council meetings averaged just over 90 minutes. For

a similar timeframe so far this year, they’ve averaged over an hour longer. Of an eight-meeting stretch ending in August, three meetings were over four hours, and four meetings were longer than three hours. All but two were longer than two hours. Add onto that slightly longer average times for the two committees that often meet before council, and the whole night is just over an hour and a half longer on average. The weeks council meets for executive session after the public meeting is over are 30 minutes to an hour longer. For those residents (and reporters) hoping to stay till the end, the late nights are a nuisance at best. And when the building has to stay open past 11 p.m., the Civic Center’s night janitor has to work overtime hours, said city manager Wally Bobkiewicz. For the aldermen, though, the hours-long meetings can diminish their ability to complete their duties. “I don’t think people are at their best when it’s midnight and you’re debating issues » See MEETINGS, page 11

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

By MADDY DAUM

the daily northwestern

Over 900 people marched through Evanston on Thursday in protest of President Donald Trump’s firing of Jeff Sessions, who on Wednesday resigned as Attorney General. The rally, which was held Thursday evening and organized by Indivisible Evanston, came in direct response to Sessions’ firing. Organizers emphasized the importance of supporting the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into Trump’s ties to Russia, from which Sessions had recused himself. The current Acting Attorney General, Matthew Whitaker, has previously criticized the investigation, leading many to wonder about the future of the inquiry. The organization hosted a ”rapid response” meeting in Raymond Park, which was open to members of the group and all Evanston residents, before marching along Chicago Avenue. Attendees listened to eight speakers, including Mayor Steve

Isabel Gitten/The Daily Northwestern

Protestors hold signs at a rally in downtown Evanston. Over 900 people marched through the city in protest of President Donald Trump’s firing of Jeff Sessions.

Hagerty and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston), who discussed constitutional values and the importance of holding all citizens to the law. Schakowsky said Trump has not maintained his responsibilities as president by criticizing and possibly interfering with the Mueller probe, and that she will be proposing legislation and bipartisan meetings to fight for change. “I believe that one of the

reasons that the Democrats took the House (of Representatives) back is that Americans care about the Constitution and the role of law,” Schakowsky said. “(The constitution) has no party stamp on it. This is about the rule of law. It is very clear that Donald Trump crossed a red line when he fired his attorney general.” Other speakers — including Andrea London, rabbi at Beth Emet the Free Synagogue and Grace Imathiu, senior pastor at

First United Methodist Church — spoke about how their faith supports standing up for democracy. Linda Tate (Weinberg ’76), the co-leader of Indivisible Evanston, said she and the other members of the organization’s leadership team had asked these speakers to come to Evanston months earlier, in the event that Trump would at some point “get rid of Sessions.” » See INDIVISIBLE, page 11

Principal denounces racism in letter By BENJAMIN ROSENBERG

daily senior staffer @bxrosenberg

The recent mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue has spawned conversations regarding the consequences of racism and hate speech. After hearing about students making racist comments, Max Weinberg wants to make sure those conversations are happening at his school. Weinberg, the principal at Lincolnwood Elementary School in northwest Evanston, sent a letter to the Lincolnwood community on Oct. 28, the day after the shooting at Tree of Life Congregation, regarding instances of racism at the school. “I must share that I am deeply concerned that a crucial portion of our student body, specifically our black students, are being made to feel unwelcome,” Weinberg said in the letter. “Over the past several weeks, I have learned about hate-filled language spoken by children in our school.” Weinberg said he had heard reports of

POLICE BLOTTER Blotter: Retail theft reported from Gigi Bottega

Evanston Police Department officers responded to a call regarding a theft at Gigi Bottega in the 600 block of Davis Street at 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The 35-year-old store manager, an Evanston resident, reported the incident, said Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew. At the scene, officers spoke to the manager who said a woman had been rummaging through display items near the front of the store. After the woman left, the manager said she saw an empty hanger and determined

students saying things like “I want to know why black children come to this school” and “this isn’t your school,” as well as several uses of the N-word. According to the Illinois State Board of Education, 56 percent of Lincolnwood’s 405 students are white, 23 percent are black, 10 percent Latinx and 3 percent Asian. Anya Tanyavutti, vice president of the Evanston/Skokie School District 65 Board of Education, told The Daily that Weinberg was prompted to send the letter to provide tools and information to correct any racist beliefs and misunderstandings that Lincolnwood students may have internalized. “Our school district has taken on a brave and comprehensive undertaking to have courageous conversations about race,” Tanyavutti said. “I think sometimes folks are afraid to have conversations about race.” Lincolnwood is located in Evanston’s 6th Ward, but children who live in the 7th, 5th and 2nd Wards also attend the school. The 6th Ward is less racially diverse than Evanston as a whole. As of the last U.S. Census, 10 percent of 6th Ward residents were people of color, compared to 40 percent for the city

at large. In the letter, Weinberg called for a “peacebuilding assembly” at Lincolnwood, which took place on Oct. 29. He asked parents to talk to their students about the assembly and about how they can make Lincolnwood a better place. District 65 Superintendent Paul Goren expressed support for Weinberg and the letter in an interview to the Chicago Tribune. Goren also said an increased number of racist comments had also been heard at other schools around the district. Tanyavutti said it was important to make sure that these instances of racism should not only not be tolerated, but should be condemned. “I believe that it’s really important that we not only say that hate has no home here, that we not only say that we are not racist but that we say we are actually anti-racist,” Tanyavutti said. “We will create an affirmative environment that is… representative of everyone, including our black citizen families.”

a pair of black leggings valued at $64 were missing. The manager said the woman had not paid for anything before leaving the store and had walked east on Davis Street. The manager told officers that the same woman may have taken items from the store in the past, and that she would sign complaints if the woman was located. EPD is currently investigating.

Theatres at about 1:23 p.m. on that date. A 44-year-old woman was watching a movie with a group of friends when the 55-yearold man chastised them for talking loudly, Glew said. A juvenile became involved in the verbal altercation, and the man made a gesture at the juvenile, hitting them in the face with his hand. The 44-year-old woman swung her purse at the man to protect the juvenile, and theater security then separated all three parties. The woman told responding officers that she wanted to sign complaints with an intent to follow up.

Man arrested in connection with battery incident A 55-year-old Chicago resident was arrested Wednesday in connection with an incident of battery that occured on Oct. 13. The initial incident took place in the 1700 block of Maple Avenue at Cinemark Century

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It is time to stop giving Sigma Alpha Epsilon second chances I wrote last year that SAE was unworthy of a spot on our campus. The op-ed published by their president last week did nothing to change my mind. I hold many privileges as a wealthy, white cisgender woman in a PHA sorority, and I don’t want to speak for perspectives that are not my own. But, after two years of publicly and privately wrestling with this organization in student government and in this newspaper, I cannot hold my tongue in the face of this organization’s apparent inability to grasp the severity of allegations of sexual violence. The op-ed the president of SAE wrote is laughable. They have never, as an organization, publicly demonstrated any grasp of the severity of sexual violence on college campuses since we received the studentwide email about allegations of drugging and sexual violence at SAE and an unnamed fraternity. They have never shown us they take the allegations seriously. The op-ed was no exception. To recap: SAE membership, in the wake

of the email originally sent to the student body, debated with me and Lars Benson for two hours in ASG senate on our statement on the issue and walked out of the room at the motion to vote by roll call. They were de-recognized by IFC last year because of reports that they recruited during their suspension. After that, I wrote an op-ed arguing that people feel SAE did not deserve to come back onto our campus as they lacked even the decency to respect their suspension on a basic level. Vaughan wrote that SAE has been criticized for “making this campus unsafe, prioritizing ‘having fun’ and lacking accountability for its actions.” Towards the very end, he writes that they knows that SAE stands “for everything wrong in the greek community,” “including sexual assault.” Vaughan spends little time discussing sexual violence in his piece. But for everyone else, sexual violence is the first thing that comes to mind when we think of this organization. It is the core of the issue. We don’t care if they were reckless or partied too hard or served alcohol to minors. We care about the fact that they potentially drugged and sexually assaulted people in their fraternity spaces. What I needed from SAE is not a bland

commitment to do the already-required workshops, a vague promise to “start from scratch,” a confusing determination to have a more “individually-focused” recruitment, (when that is already how IFC recruitment is supposed to work).

In NU’s inability to act, the decision is left to us. Are we going to keep SAE going, or are we going to attempt to do what is rarely done — hold fraternities accountable? What I wanted in a public statement from SAE was empathy. I wanted them to show that they know what it is like to feel unsafe on this campus. All they have demonstrated so far is that they have a sheepish understanding of what it is like to be the person who is making others feel unsafe and a poorly-articulated desire to fix it. I wanted them to own the impact they had on this campus in a real way. Write a better op-ed, SAE. Show you care for survivors and for

campus culture by not just doing what you’re supposed to but figuring out how you can do more. And, even then; men thinking of joining greek life: don’t join SAE. Even with a display of public accountability — which, as I have argued, the most recent op-ed was inadequate of doing — I still do not believe that their letters and their presence deserve money, capital and physical space on this campus. After a couple of University-mandated workshops, will they really be a “new SAE”? In NU’s inability to act, the decision is left to us. Are we going to keep SAE going, or are we going to attempt to do what is rarely done — hold fraternities accountable? In SHAPE, we talk a lot about how impact is more important than intent. Even if SAE did not mean to cause harm, they have to take responsibility for their ultimate impact. Given multiple chances over the past two years, SAE has been unable to do so effectively. It is time to stop giving them chances. It is time to stop giving them our money, our time and our membership. If the University cannot do that, I can only hope that we will. — Gabrielle Bienasz, Medill junior

Internships should not require prior internship experience ALLIE GOULDING

DAILY COLUMNIST

In this series, a writer explores the everyday struggles of being a low-income student at Northwestern. It’s November, which means deadlines for journalism summer internships are already here. As a Northwestern student, the pressure to have a summer internship — especially right before senior year — is extremely high. This is my last summer before I join the actual workforce, so naturally, I’ve spent the past several weeks applying for more than 25 internships. On almost every application I filled out, there was one requirement that stuck out to me: “Previous internship experience is required.” These internships are specifically meant for rising juniors, seniors and graduates, meaning these news organizations expect you to have completed an internship during your sophomore or junior year. In addition, these applications specifically say that college publication experience does not count. Essentially: You need internship experience to even get internship experience. The only internships I have applied for that do not require previous experience are

unpaid internships. And for many lowincome students, these are not an option when you’re required to work the entire summer to support yourself and afford the upcoming school year. I understand that the internships I’ve applied for are some of the top publications and news organizations — such as the Chicago Tribune and Washington Post — in the country, so they want the best of the best. I expect nothing less from them. But at the same time, I do expect these companies to take more into consideration than a person’s resume. Just because a student doesn’t have previous internship experience does not make them any less qualified for an internship position. Some of the most talented student journalists I know have never had an internship, in journalism or elsewhere.

The requirement creates an endless cycle of ‘expereince required for experience.’ and it’s hard to break out of that cycle unless you have connections, money, (or) time To say that college publication experience doesn’t count is a slap in the face to any student journalist on this campus. Those that work at The Daily, North By Northwestern, Northwestern News Network and many other news organizations at NU produce

extremely high quality pieces that have won numerous awards — including Pacemakers, Hearst Journalism Awards and Society of Professional Journalists awards. These awards, at the college level, mirror some of the prestigious journalism awards at a national level. The work we do as student journalists should not be written off when applying for summer internships. Especially for lowincome students, who might only have this work to include on their resumes. Low-income students are consistently told to “suck it up” and do the requisite “free labor” everyone else did at our age. Unpaid internships are not accessible to low-income students. If anything, they’re a burden. I was only able to have my unpaid internship at a news station in San Antonio this past summer because I received a SIGP award of $3,000 and my dad bought me my first car (a 1999 Mazda Protege). Even then, I struggled. The SIGP award was not enough to cover car insurance, gas, my phone bill, food and living expenses. I had to pinch pennies. I had to tap into my savings. I’m used to this, of course, but making $3,000 last the entire summer when I had to drive 25 miles to my internship was extremely difficult. I probably should’ve gotten a part-time job on top of my internship, but finding a job for only three months is a completely different challenge that I didn’t want to take on. I knew that if I wanted to get the most out of my internship, I would have to be there at least three days out of the week and work the other four days. This would’ve made it easier for me financially, but harder for me overall given the commitments for both. The answer

is not, “Get a job and work an unpaid internship.” Sometimes doing both isn’t feasible. Don’t get me wrong — I am extremely thankful for my SIGP award. I would not have been able to intern if I hadn’t received it. While there are some negatives to unpaid internships, I want to recognize my valuable experience at the station. I met some incredible reporters that changed the way I think about the media. I reported on topics that I had never even thought about. I learned a lot, and I am so grateful for the opportunity. But the fact remains: Unpaid internships are not accessible to everyone, especially lowincome students. To have other internship opportunities — including the ones that are paid — stand behind the barrier of “internship experience required” is unbelievable. This requirement creates an endless cycle of “experience required for experience,” and it’s hard to break out of that cycle unless you have connections, money, time or a combination of the three. If these news organizations want to see the best of the best in their newsroom, I encourage them to look at all applicants — not just those who could afford to have an unpaid internship or were lucky enough to have a paid internship. They might just find some incredible journalists. Allie Goulding is a Medill junior. She can be contacted at alliegoulding2020@u.northwestern.edu.

Research finds links between dyslexia, concussions By ERIC RYNSTON-LOBEL

the daily northwestern @ericr_l

Researchers from several universities including Northwestern have found a possible connection between dyslexia and concussions, illuminating the intersection of genetics and sports medicine. In an article published in the Journal of Neurotrauma, researchers outlined results from a study of football players at Pennsylvania State University, including the finding that a specific genotype leads to reduced susceptibility for concussions and head trauma. The genotype — KIAA0399 — is found in individuals with dyslexia. While the paper acknowledges that the

authors’ “current understanding of how genetics affect concussion outcomes is still in its infancy,” Penn State professor and co-author Sam Slobounov said the discovery makes up a new “part of the puzzle” when looking at how genetics influences athletes’ responses to concussive impacts. These findings are noteworthy, Slobounov added, because dyslexia has never previously been linked to concussions, sub-concussive blows or brain injury. “We’re far away from complete understanding,” he said. “But (our findings are) very promising and very intriguing.” Still, Slobounov said he is hesitant to draw definitive conclusions from the research without more evidence. Researchers are currently gathering data from middle and high school football players, he said, adding that he hopes

further research will “make a more comprehensive story” about the potential connection between dyslexia and concussions. This information will help coaches, athletes, medical community and scientists better understand the puzzling neurological disorder, he said. Northwestern Psychiatry Prof. Amy Herrold, a co-author of the study, said University researchers played a key role in the collaboration through analyzing data. NU, she said, was “really the intellectual driving force behind examining and integrating this data in order to make it really relevant to the field.” Herrold said she hopes these findings can be replicated at other schools, noting their “novel” discovery of KIAA0399 and its connection with concussions could help athletes make more informed decisions.

“If we’re in a place where genetic testing can happen in preparation for participation in sports, those with a genotype conferring a risk for concussion would maybe think about playing a sport that didn’t involve high impact or being in a position within a team that involves high impact,” Herrold said. Herrold said their findings have illuminated new lines of inquiry for further research. She added that their goal was to move the discussion forward. “The ultimate goal is to really understand as a whole what confers genetic risk and also as a whole determining the mechanism behind it,” Herrold said. “Maybe we can harness this protective effect into developing treatment that would really help wconcussion recovery.” ericrynston-lobel2022@u.northwestern.edu

NU releases training video on active shooter protocol By CAMERON COOK

the daily northwestern @cam_e_cook

In a new training video released Thursday depicting an active shooter simulation, Northwestern University Police and UP Chief Bruce Lewis advised students to quickly determine whether to run, fight or hide in an emergency situation. The video, shot on the Evanston campus, was produced based on the “Run, Hide, Fight” protocol recommended by the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS program aims to increase emergency preparedness by providing tools and resources in case of an active shooter incident. The video was released eight months after the Evanston campus went on lockdown when a man called the Evanston Police Department claiming to have shot his girlfriend, an NU graduate student. Though the call turned out to be a hoax, students, faculty and staff on campus reported feeling terrified as they hid inside their classrooms, dorms or offices.

NU had been using a DHS video as guidance for years, said University spokesman Bob Rowley, and UP and the administration decided it was time for something new. The video was shot over the summer, and was prescheduled to be released on Thursday. Many students saw the video after they heard the news about a shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks, California, that killed 12. In an email to the NU community, UP Chief Bruce Lewis advised all students to watch the video, and wrote that even though it could be triggering, “simulated scenarios are effective learning tools.” Rowley added that he thought the video being shot on NU’s campus would make it more effective than if it were shot elsewhere. “We want people be as safe as they possibly can, and this seemed like the most effective way to be realistic,” Rowley said. And aside from the actors pausing to explain their actions, the video seeks to portray a real active-shooter situation. In one scene, a professor and his students turn off the classroom lights, lock the door and barricade themselves inside with desks. The shooter looks in the window, jiggles the door

“And that’s why we have the three options explained as they are. If you can run, you should run. If you can hide and you don’t have time to run, then you should hide.” Weinberg sophomore Antonia Young thinks the video should have explained more clearly the dangers of hiding in an active shooter situation, and that the scene in the video doesn’t show a situation in which hiding would be ideal. “If you’re in a room that has things such as a hole puncher or a fire extinguisher and you can fight when the shooter finds you, then I think hiding would be a reasonable response,” Young said. “But if you’re in a room like they show in the video, I would say run.” However, Young still thinks the video did its job, especially in its choice to depict an active shooter situation on NU’s campus. The intensity of the situation was necessary to get students to pay attention, she said. “By explaining it in a realistic way we hope people will have muscle memory,” Rowley said. “It’s an effective way to have safety training, that is our hope.”

handle and walks away. The University used DHS guidance to make the video, but the agency’s advice has been criticized. Chris Grollnek, a retired police officer and active shooter expert, said “hide” is the last thing to do when a shooter is on the loose. “If you’re hiding, you’re ultimately giving the shooter the opportunity to hunt you down,” he said. DHS still recommends hiding as its second resort to stay safe in an emergency violence situation. Data now show that hiding isn’t just worse than running, it could be dangerous. Moving targets have only a 4 percent chance of getting shot in an active shooter situation, Grollnek said, and most fatalities during school shootings were cornered in classrooms. “If you were in a class and I told you there was a bomb in your classroom, would you hide under your desk or would you leave?” Grollnek asked. “You would get out of there.” However, Rowley noted sometimes hiding is the only choice. “The video explains very carefully what each scenario is and when to do it,” Rowley said.

Defensive line maintains stellar level By JOSEPH WILKINSON

daily senior staffer @joe_f_wilkinson

Even during Northwestern’s season-changing four-game win streak, the Wildcats were inconsistent. Whether in pass offense (senior Clayton Thorson’s two games with less than 200 passing yards), rush offense (back-to-back under 35-yard performances) or pass defense (allowing more than 300 yards passing to struggling quarterback Brian Lewerke), NU has been missing something each week. Except quality defensive line play, which has been there all along, powering the Cats’ resurgence. Against Michigan State, the group was crucial in two first half red zone stands that led to field goals and another goal line stand to ice the game late in the fourth quarter. Against Nebraska, sophomore Earnest Brown’s scoop-and-score fumble return touchdown changed the complexion of the first half, and classmate Sam Miller led the team with 14 tackles. Against Rutgers, NU allowed 188 total yards. And against Wisconsin, the Cats held superstar running back Jonathan Taylor to his worst game of the season: Forty-six yards and two fumbles. At one point, he was benched. That’s how good the NU defensive line has been. It got a preseason Heisman Trophy candidate benched. “I always want them to play better, but it’s a good group to coach,” defensive line coach Marty Long said. “We’re rotating eight or nine guys, so that’s good. Some teams, they only play six, and some barely take their starters out. We’ll roll guys, which is good.” Junior Joe Gaziano is the star of the group, with his team-leading 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. He’s joined on almost every down by senior defensive tackle Jordan Thompson — third on the team with four tackles for loss — and a deep rotation of veterans making important contributions. Sophomores Brown and Miller have been consistent contributors, including their game-breaking performances against Nebraska. Senior Fred Wyatt is tied for fourth on the team with 3.5 tackles for loss. Juniors Alex Miller and Trent Goens have each provided steady contributions while rotating into games. This depth helps the line keep opponents on their toes. “When we change up our pressures, it keeps the

offensive line guessing and they can’t key in on one guy particularly player, and it allows other guys to free up,” Gaziano said last month. “We’re trying to change up our looks and not give the same pressure.” The line’s contributions can also be seen in the impressive tackling numbers the Cats’ linebackers have produced this season. NU’s defensive scheme relies on its linemen to eat up blocks, freeing the linebackers to operate in space and make plays. Sophomores Blake Gallagher and Paddy Fisher lead the team with 86 and 69 tackles, respectively. Senior Nate Hall and sophomore Chris Bergin have split time at the strong-side linebacker spot due to Hall’s injuries, and their 73 combined tackles would rank second on the team. “The linebackers can’t flow around and make tackles without (the defensive line) doing what they’re doing,” Gallagher said. “They’re doing all the hard stuff. They’re in the trenches grinding. We’re just playing behind them, playing off them. They’ve been working their (tails) off, and that’s why me, Paddy

and Nate are able to flow around and make tackles.” They’ll need that space to operate against an efficient Iowa passing game Saturday. The usually runfocused Hawkeyes rank 119th in Rushing S&P+ yet 38th in Passing S&P+ behind the arm of experienced signal-caller Nate Stanley. Iowa’s play-action passing game will challenge NU’s linebackers, but it should also provide time for the Cats’ defensive line to put pressure on the quarterback, something they’ve struggled to do at points this year. “We play gap sound defense on the defensive line, we’re always trying to cancel gaps and get a good push, and that doesn’t always translate into a good pass rush,” Gaziano said this week. “But we can capitalize on third downs. When we know, if it’s a third and long situation, they have to pass, that’s when we have to capitalize and be able to land on the quarterback and affect his throws.” josephwilkinson2019@u.northwestern.edu

Iowa offers test for NU, but not must-win By BEN POPE

daily senior staffer @benpope111

Northwestern senior quarterback Clayton Thorson has a black-and-white vision for Saturday’s critical road matchup against Iowa. “They’re a team that we’ve got to beat in order to go to the Big Ten Championship,” he said this week. On one hand, from Thorson’s perspective, it’s understandable why he would consider this a mustwin game. The Hawkeyes (6-3, 3-3 Big Ten) are also contending for the Big Ten West title, are No. 21 in the College Football Playoff rankings — the Wildcats (5-4, 5-1) are not ranked — and are 10-point favorites as of Thursday.

But Thorson’s assessment is wrong. Incredibly, NU — despite losing all three of its nonconference contests and beating bottom-feeders Rutgers and Nebraska by a combined six points earlier this season — can lose one of its remaining three games, such as this weekend’s, and still maintain the driver’s seat in the division race. Having beaten Wisconsin (6-3, 4-2) and Purdue (5-4, 4-2) already, the Cats thus hold head-to-head tiebreakers over both, and would continue to hold first place even if they picked up a second conference loss. And given that NU’s final two opponents, Minnesota and Illinois, are a combined 3-9 in the Big Ten so far, the contest in Iowa City seems the most likely place where the team would fall back on that one-game cushion. All three West teams with winning conference

records face road tests this week; the Boilermakers will face struggling Minnesota, but the Badgers will travel to Penn State as nearly double-digit underdogs. Next weekend, Wisconsin and Purdue will play in a game that will realistically eliminate one of the two teams. The Hawkeyes, though they essentially must win out to have a chance, finish with two very favorable matchups after this visit from the Cats. Nevertheless, NU’s first-ever trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game is far from assured — in fact, they haven’t even locked up a bowl berth yet — and junior defensive end Joe Gaziano said that lack of certainty is still fueling the team. “Our team has a limited life, and we’re only guaranteed 20 more days, which is hard to come to realize,” he said. “You have to each week go out and play knowing that in the back of your mind and knowing that if we don’t play the right way … that these seniors could be walking off the field with a bad taste in their mouth.” Iowa’s defense will challenge the Cats’ offense by frequently employing a 4-2-5 formation that loads the secondary with defenders, forcing opponents to run longer-developing passing plays and giving time for disruptive defensive ends Parker Hesse and Anthony Nelson to get to the quarterback. Per the holistic statistic S&P+, the Hawkeyes rank 18th in the nation in both run defense and sack rate. On the other side of the ball, Hawkeyes quarterback Nate Stanley is having a solid season and his offensive line protects him with the coordination of a “concert pianist,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. That passing success has helped Iowa overcome a sluggish running game by converting third downs at the second-highest rate in the Big Ten (47 percent). “When you watch them on tape, fundamentally they’re incredibly sound,” Fitzgerald said. “Their technique is outstanding, they’re very consistent, typically their execution is at a very, very high level and that’s in all three phases.” On top of it all, a crowd of nearly 70,000 is expected in cramped Kinnick Stadium, known for its close proximity between the stands and team benches as well as its hot pink visitors’ locker room, which Gaziano said is intended to “try to get in your head.” But Gaziano said, in another vein, he and the Cats are also looking forward to the excitable atmosphere. “When the crowd’s bringing energy, we can feed off that no matter who they’re rooting for,” he said. “We like being the enemies as well as we like being the favorites.” benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu

7 Specialists give NU stability in punt situations GAMEDAY

The Daily Northwestern

Friday, November 9, 2018

By JONAH DYLAN

daily senior staffer @thejonahdylan

It seems like every time Northwestern punts, No. 43 is the first one down the field. And it’s not one of the gunners. It’s Tyler Gillikin, the long snapper — or, as his coaches call him, Atlanta Flash. The Georgia native, now in his second year as the Wildcats’ long snapper, is a rare constant among Cats specialists who have been ravaged by injuries at kicker. The other is punter Jake Collins, a graduate transfer who has been asked to do a little bit of everything for NU this season. “We pretty much hang out all the time together,” Collins said. “All we do in all practice is work together.” Special teams coordinator Jeff Genyk said opposing special teams coaches have to alter their gameplans to find a way to block Gillikin, since most punt-return schemes don’t leave someone to block the long snapper. Gillikin, for his part, wasn’t always just a long snapper. He played both offense and defense in high school, and he said that helps him in his capacity on special teams. “Most of the time, a lot of punt return teams don’t block the long snapper,” he said. “And coming from playing actual positions in high school, I think I’m a little more athletic than most long snappers out there. And I pride myself on that. So I definitely try to get down there as fast as possible.” On field goals, it’s Gillikin snapping to Collins, who also serves as the team’s holder. Behind him, sophomore kickers Charlie Kuhbander and Drew Luckenbaugh have faced injuries throughout the season, and Genyk said they’re each working their way back. Kuhbander has played in the last two games after missing the previous two, while Luckenbaugh has been inactive for two straight weeks after he sustained an injury in pregame warmups before NU’s Oct. 27 tilt with Wisconsin. When Luckenbaugh went down before the matchup with the Badgers, Collins — who has experience handling kickoffs and field goals from his time in high school and at Western Kentucky, where he played for three years — was asked to take some kicking reps. Kuhbander ended up suiting up, but Collins got the call to handle kickoffs. “He has been a lot of fun to work with because I think his demeanor and his attitude has been really outstanding,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “He’s got a lot of confidence, he’s been in a lot of different battles, and I think he’s played really well.” His stats back that up. Collins is fifth in the Big Ten with 1,915 punt yards on the year, and he has also pinned opposing teams inside the 20-yard line 17 times. For a unit that has struggled with injuries, Collins’ durability has been key. He was a solid player for the Hilltoppers, earning Conference USA recognition and being named to the Ray Guy Award Watch List. But for his final year of eligibility, he decided to head north. “For me, it was always a dream to play against Iowa at Iowa, play against Michigan State at Michigan State, so it has just been a dream come true,” he said. “And then obviously the academics here set me up for life after football. And that’s really the main thing that matters most to me. Punting’s fun and all, but it’s gonna end at some point.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

schools should make trips to Shorefront part of the required curriculum. “Good things happened in this community with African American people, and their contributions helped make Evanston what it is,” she said. “You don’t hear that a lot, but it’s there and people need to know that.”

Unearthing stories

Collect. Preserve. Educate. Those are the tenets of Shorefront’s mission statement. Robinson said the mission is realized almost every day. Not one person, even people who have lived in Evanston for decades, leaves the center without saying, “Dino, I can’t believe I didn’t know” this or that. Holmes has lived in Evanston for roughly 80 years. She grew up in the 5th Ward — a ward that has for generations had a thriving black community, and a ward she represented on City Council. “Before, you only sort of had that history passed along orally through family and community people,” Holmes said. “That kind of history was passed through the church and through the Foster School. It wasn’t at all taught widely.” Ald. Robin Rue Simmons (5th) said Robinson is her partner in preserving black history — a key campaign promise of hers in her bid for office. “I’ve always called Dino first when I had a question about how did we get here, or where should we be going making sure great history is honored and unfortunate history doesn’t repeat itself,” she said. The nonprofit center has published and printed journals that share old anecdotes, from blurbs on great jazz musicians to blurbs on social clubs for women and children. It has also unearthed new accounts, including that of the McGaw YMCA at 1000 Grove St. Much of the early dialogue around the YMCA’s history was how two wealthy, white philanthropists saw the need to service the black community “and blah blah blah,” Robinson said. But with the help of the YMCA staff, Robinson got his hands on the organization’s minutes and — using that and other

HARVARD From page 1

Still, defenders of race-conscious admissions policies often point to the wide body of research showing racial diversity in higher education can lead to a range of positive social and academic outcomes for all students. Sociology Prof. Anthony Chen agreed there is a vast swath of literature on the educational benefits of diversity as a whole, adding he finds its main claims credible. In order to obtain the educational benefits of racial diversity in higher education, Chen said he believes race-conscious admissions policies are still necessary. “Race still corresponds to a distinctive form of inequality in our society,” he said. ‘There is no

research — pieced together a different narrative. Rev. James Talley came to Evanston in 1907 and was barred from the YMCA because of his race. So, he started his own programming, which embarrassed the YMCA and led the branch to hire Talley to build a separate, segregated facility for the black community. By the 1940s, the national organization began pushing for integration. Years later, after observing other branches, the Evanston location combined its facilities. But until recently, much of the local black community had not felt welcome in the McGaw YMCA, Robinson said. “The recreation room pre-1960s was called the plantation room. Not very good when you’re trying to integrate your Y,” he said. He added sarcastically: “‘Hey come on in, you’re welcome here. Now come down to the plantation room. We’re going to have fun. We’re going to do a play — it’s going to be in blackface. We’re having a fundraiser, it’s the Aunt Jemima Pancake Breakfast.’” Beginning in 2006 and to improve relations, Robinson said YMCA staff renamed the recreation room after Talley, put out a public apology, created a grant program and asked Shorefront to help educate board members about the branch’s history. Shorefront’s archives also include the life stories of contemporary figures like Holmes, Rev. and Evanston/North Shore NAACP president Michael Nabors, ice skater Chelsea Ridley and recent Evanston Township High School graduate Enyaeva Michelin, who placed first in the 800-meter run at the state track and field championships this May. Nabors, a pastor at Second Baptist Church, moved to Evanston in 2015. Because of his previous leadership experience with the NAACP, he was installed as the Evanston/North Shore chapter’s president two years later. He said he gave Shorefront a current copy of his CV and contributed to a project documenting the past 10 years of NAACP presidents and board members. “I can tell great stories and include it in a sermon, but Dino and Shorefront are the ones with the details,” he said. “It’s not as utilized as much as it should be.” For example, “we celebrate Frances Willard, but not many people know Ida B. Wells — who lived

in Chicago — regularly visited Evanston,” Nabors added. “And the two were contemporaries, but they rarely crossed paths because, well, Frances was … a little prejudiced.”

entirely satisfactory way of adding this type of diversity to the educational experience without taking race into account.” University officials said last month they believe the Harvard trial’s outcome wouldn’t affect NU. According to Northwestern’s 2017 Diversity and Inclusion report, the Office of Undergraduate Admission “has been enhancing outreach and recruitment efforts to high-achieving underrepresented minority and low-income prospective students.” Christopher Watson, the dean of undergraduate admissions, deferred comment to University spokesman Bob Rowley, who said “it is part of the mission and values of Northwestern to create a diverse and inclusive campus to enrich the educational experience of all our students.” Jabbar Bennett, associate provost and chief diversity

officer at Northwestern, echoed those sentiments, mentioning the “cultural, education and life experiences” racially and ethnically diverse students bring to the table to Northwestern and in higher education. “These experiences,” Bennett said in an email to The Daily, “both enrich and challenge existing beliefs, thinking and understanding of individuals and communities from across the country and the world.”

Controlling the narrative

With just a $30,000 budget each year, the center’s board is strapped a little tight. Thanks to consistent private donations, some grant money and the Sherman Methodist United Church’s affordable rental rate, Shorefront is able to keep its doors open — not 24/7 like board members would like, but at least on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on weekdays by appointment. Shorefront is also looking to build an endowment, Robinson said. “If we had 0.01 percent of what Northwestern had, I think we’d be riding high,” he joked. Northwestern recently contributed to the Lorraine Morton documentary Shorefront produced, and the center has worked with other universities: The Black Metropolis Research Consortium — an association of archival organizations based at the University of Chicago — adopted Shorefront as a member, Harvard University digitized some of Shorefront’s archives and Dominican University sends over interns. Would Shorefront like to see more interest, partnerships and money from the City of Evanston or Northwestern? Absolutely, Robinson said. But not at the cost of the center’s independence. Andrea Jackson, the Black Metropolis Research Consortium’s executive director, said Shorefront is one of just three member-archival organizations that are community or faith-based — the rest are associated with large institutions. Even more unique, she added, is that Shorefront is also one of very few archival organizations based in a suburban area. “There are lots of places where, instead of developing a whole archive for the suburban area, they end up putting archives into the larger city archives,” she said. “Evanston and North Shore communities are closely related to Chicago, but they do feel empowered to say, ‘This is who we are, and we’ve developed our own way of living.’” But running Shorefront at a community-level does

Marketing a representative campus

Though affirmative action is widely seen as benefiting students, universities also have much to gain from a diverse class of students. Samarth Soni went to San Francisco during the first iteration of the University’s Bay Area Immersion Program. On the trip, the Medill senior and three other students were taken to do a photoshoot

mean sacrificing big money as well as losing grants that prefer institutional archives. Robinson said Shorefront’s nontraditional board — which has 24 members at three different levels — is made up of an amalgam of teachers, government officials, bankers, designers and others who have unique skill sets. None of them have archival degrees, but they learned from hands-on practice. Still, locals prefer this model, and Robinson believes Shorefront’s design could serve as a framework for other communities in Evanston looking to create their own archival organizations. He and other board members are preoccupied with all the work that’s left for Shorefront itself. There are two entire collections that need to be digitized, which takes a lot of bandwidth and money. And there are still hundreds of videos, photos and other archival material to process. Shorefront is also trying to expand its reach. Over the last two years the center has been offering tours to incoming Northwestern freshmen. Robinson has visited campus and classes for speaking engagements. Ideally, the center will transition from being tucked away in a church basement to having its own building in the 5th Ward, Rue Simmons said. Both she and Holmes had initially hoped to anchor Shorefront in the Gibbs-Morrison Cultural Center, but due to funding issues and the programming and operational changes, the idea fell through. As for Robinson, he has a specific building idea in mind: something roughly twice the size of the church’s basement and made of steel, concrete and glass — complete with solar panels, LED lighting, a nice garden or sculpture and a thermal heating and cooling system. He wants something that screams “Shorefront Legacy Center,” something that affirms the center’s presence as an invaluable Evanston staple. “This is everybody’s history,” he said, glancing around at vast archival materials surrounding him. “I make a point to say that, too. We’re not a subset of American History. We are American history.” Robinson grinned. “That’s my soapbox.” rishikadugyala2019@u.northwestern.edu to represent the experience. And in retrospect, something about it stood out to him. “It was me being the only Indian, brown kid there — they chose one white woman and two other Asian kids,” he said. “I was the only brown kid, so I wonder how intentional that was.” As the Harvard trial’s eventual outcome could shift racial demographics on campuses, some wonder how schools might shift their marketing of campus diversity in response. Throughout the U.S., elite colleges and universities have long faced criticism for overrepresenting students of color in recruitment materials. Soni, who is featured in Northwestern’s viewbook, said he understands the need to balance creating an » See HARVARD, page 11

Northwestern heads to NCAA Midwest Regionals By TROY CLOSSON

daily senior staffer

This year could be the one. As coach ‘A Havahla Haynes readies her squad for this weekend’s NCAA Midwest Regional in Peoria, Illinois, Northwestern has one goal in mind: clinching a spot in NCAA Championships for the first time in program history. “Our eyes are on the automatic bids,” Haynes said after Big Ten Championships. The Wildcats are fresh off one of their best performances of the season at the meet over Halloween weekend. Against Big Ten rivals, junior powerhouse Aubrey Roberts crossed the line second to lead the team to a seventh place finish in the overall standings — the best placement for the program since NU grabbed seventh at Big Tens six years ago. At Midwest Regionals, that 2012 squad placed fourth, failing to qualify for NCAAs. Last year’s ninth place finish at the meet marked a disappointing close to the season. For this group to break that trend, they’ll need to place in the top two to automatically advance to NCAAs, held the following weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. It’ll be a steep challenge for the Cats.

the top two won’t happen without a competitive group effort along the Illinois River against No. 15 Iowa State, No. 23 Minnesota and No. 26 Oklahoma State — the three teams above NU in regional rankings.

“If we are anywhere near Minnesota, it means we’re near Oklahoma State and then it’s going to be a battle for places,” Haynes said, “and I think we can be competitive.” Minnesota placed sixth at Big Tens, 33 points

ahead of the Cats. But the biggest difference came between the Golden Gophers’ two-runner, junior Megan Hasz, who placed 12th and the Wildcats’ No. 2 — Sarah Nicholson — who finished 36th. Otherwise, place-by-place, NU matched up evenly with the Minneapolis-based squad. “They’re really strong but (we’re going to) focus on the depth of our team and making sure our three through five runners are staying in contact with them,” Nicholson said after conference championships. “If we’re able to, that gives us a good shot at Nationals.” Big Tens, Nicholson added, were “a really big confidence booster” for the Cats: The team’s strong performance showcased the strength in numbers NU’s developed over this season’s campaign. After finishing fourth at the meet in two consecutive years, Roberts will likely look to improve her placement and hope for a podium finish this time around. “Regionals — in some ways — are less competitive (than Big Tens),” she said, “so being on that stage against such a high level of competition only prepares us for the future.” closson@u.northwestern.edu

will play the first of two back-to-back games at home against a Nittany Lion team that has lost just five games this season. Fortunately for the Wildcats, they are playing some of their best volleyball of the season. Despite losing to Maryland 3-1 last Friday, NU bounced back to beat Ohio State on the road, for the second time this season, to finish the road trip with a 1-1 record. The Cats finished the game with a .255 hitting percentage, their sixth-highest percentage all season. In addition, freshman outside hitters Abryanna Cannon and Ella Grbac, sophomore

outside hitter Nia Robinson and sophomore middle hitter Alana Walker all finished with more than 10 points.NU has recorded its three highest hitting percentages in conference in three of its last four games. In order to keep up with Penn State, the Cats will have to rely on their recent success and play one of their best games of the season. While the Nittany Lions rank fourth in the Big Ten in hitting percentage and fifth in assists, it’s their defense that keeps atop the conference standings. Penn State is second in the Big Ten with a .160 opponent hitting percentage, while getting 1,120 kills,

which ranks fourth. While facing the Nittany Lions could prove difficult for the Cats, their matchup against Rutgers should be a breeze. The Scarlet Knights have lost 14 conference games, a streak that spans almost two months. They rank second-to-last or last in the Big Ten in most statistical categories, including hitting percentage, opponent hitting percentage, assists and kills. Regardless of the opponent, NU will look to get off to a successful start in their brand new arena. andrewgolden2021@u.northwestern.edu

MEETING From page 1

around town,” Mayor Steve Hagerty said. “People are naturally tired.” That fatigue played out in dramatic fashion at a meeting over the summer. It was past 1 a.m. — about an hour after someone had ordered Insomnia Cookies for council members — and aldermen were discussing alley pavement. Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) wanted to allocate funding for pavement of alleys in her ward, and Suffredin objected. Rainey said Suffredin would not be objecting if the pavement had been suggested in another ward. “That’s such bulls--t, Ann,” Suffredin said, as other aldermen audibly gasped. “Yes, yes, be shocked.” “Oh boy,” Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) interjected, saying that “nothing good happens after midnight.” “Everything you do is subject to scrutiny,” Suffredin continued. “You are sketchy as f--k.” A beat later, Rainey called Suffredin “an unfortunate human being.” Ald. Eleanor Revelle (7th), who sits between Suffredin and Rainey on the dais, said that despite the late hour of meetings, aldermen still manage to carry on the discussion and make decisions. “I think we start getting a little more shorttempered, and I think that’s not good for discussion and public dialogue,” Revelle said. “We manage to power on through somehow.” The first committee meeting of the night typically starts at 6 p.m., and Council will usually start anytime after 7 p.m. Even with these start

times, however, aldermen will often only start discussing agenda items well into the night. The reason is most often a combination of public comment, proclamations and presentations by city staff, which can delay the actual decisionmaking parts of meetings.

Anytime you have something that people feel passionate about, you’re going to have more people coming out to talk Donald Wilson, Fourth Ward Alderman

Several alderman noted public comment, which according to the city code is limited to 45 minutes, often runs longer. In recent months, debate over proposed developments, the budget and the fate of the Harley Clarke mansion have sometimes drawn dozens of people to meetings to speak during public comment. “Anytime you have something that people feel passionate about, you’re going to have more people coming out to talk about it,” Wilson said. It may not just be Evanston issues drawing people to the meetings. “The world is a different place after the national elections of two years ago,” Bobkiewicz said. “I think that invigorated many people to get more involved with the local level.”

This isn’t the first time council meetings have gone too long. Ald. Donald Wilson (4th), who has been on council for about ten years, said he remembers around 2010, meetings were getting really long. After aldermen began being less longwinded, he said, they shortened up again. According to minutes from twenty meetings that year, meetings averaged two hours 10 minutes long. Several, however, stretched well over four hours, and others didn’t start until well after 8 p.m. Wilson said the meeting lengths, beyond wearing on aldermen, can limit residents from being able to attend for public comment or to hear discussion over important issues. In order to make meetings more accessible for residents, City Clerk Devon Reid suggested council have a concrete start time. To combat the length of the meetings, Ald. Cicely Fleming (9th) has proposed consolidating committees in the city, or discussing items from the Administration and Public Works Committee by using a consent calendar and limiting talk to council. Suffredin said he agrees with the proposal, and also suggested that Hagerty more strictly enforce time limits for speakers — whether it be residents speaking during public comment or his colleagues up at the dais. “It’s ridiculous that a community the size of Evanston has a council making important decisions so late into the night,” Suffredin said. “There’s got to be a better way to do this. … Why are we there at 11:45 at night?” karisch@u.northwestern.edu norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

HARVARD From page 9

accurate portrayal of campus with depicting diversity to convey to students its importance to the University. “Honestly, I’m applying for full-time jobs now and I’m looking on their website photos and if its just white people there,” he said, “then I’m a little like, either they’re not representing their group or they’re not aware of how things work now.” Anne Egger, the University’s director of publications, deferred comment to Jeri Ward, the vice president for global marketing and communications. Ward said in an email to The Daily that Northwestern tries to “show a cross section of the University in all our publications.” Still, the overrepresentation of black students in college materials is “near universal” across campuses, said Timothy Pippert, a sociology professor at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. After leading a large-scale 2013 study comparing the racial and ethnic diversity of higher education institutions with how they depicted diversity in admissions materials, Pippert said the results were telling. “They’re not defining diversity in other ways: student ability, political background, veteran status, gender identity — those things are barely visible in college brochures,” Pippert said. “Race seems to be the primary way that a campus says ‘here, we are diverse’ and within that it appears to be ‘we have a significant number of African American students.’” Still, “it takes diversity to encourage diversity,” Pippert said, adding that he understands schools are trying to attract more representative student bodies.

An equitable playing field

To Ikonte, one of the primary benefits of race-conscious admissions policies lies in their role “providing opportunities that otherwise would not be available — particularly to people of color or minorities.” “I’m from Los Angeles and if you were to go to South-Central,” he said, “the resources the kids there have to study for the SAT or just prepare themselves are much different than you’ll get in Bel-Air or somewhere like that.” A 2017 New York Times analysis showed that black and Latinx students are more underrepresented at elite colleges and universities than they were 35 years ago — even after decades of affirmative action. And studies have found banning affirmative action in college admissions — as is the case at public universities in California, for example — hurts both black and Latinx student enrollment. Some argue, as a result, maintaining race-conscious admissions policies is simply a matter of increasing access to higher education and opportunities. “No one can deny the fact that students of color were not allowed to go to school at one point,” alumna Yakira Mirabito said. “(Race-blind admissions) neglect the fact that your race and identity — and all these different experiences — make up who you are.” Taking those factors into account — with knowledge of various racial and ethnic groups’ underrepresentation at elite institutions — is essential, said Mirabito (McCormick ’18). Throughout the Harvard trial, Students for Fair Admissions advocated for a controversial race-neutral alternative — “class-based affirmative action” — in which income levels, as opposed to race and ethnicity, are considered in admissions. Many of the students who took the stand pushed back, arguing that the consideration of race was essential in creating a more equitable admissions process for non-white students. Race-conscious affirmative action, Ikonte agreed, is still essential — and it’d be a loss if it was rolled back by the court. “Emotionally, it would be a blow to know that these opportunities already aren’t equally spread out in our society so we need things like affirmative action to provide (them),” Ikonte said, “and now one outlet is being limited or taken away.” closson@u.northwestern.edu

Tate said that she hoped the rally was able to provide other Evanston residents with an outlet for support and empower them to voice their opinions. “We are basically here taking to the streets to show everybody that Trump cannot get away with everything and he is not above the law,”Tate said. “Mueller’s investigation is really what separates us from being a democracy and Russia and a lot of other countries out there. So we are here to say we oppose what he is doing and we are not going to be silent about it.” After the speeches, the attendees marched towards Orrington Avenue and around the block back to Raymond Park. Evanston resident Daina Jauntirans said she rallied because she wanted to do her part in fighting for change in the current government. “(I marched) because years down the line when my kids asked me ‘what did you do?’, ‘why did you let these things happen?,’ ‘what were you doing at the time?,’” Jauntirans said. “I want to be able to look them in the eye and be able to say that I tried my best to stop this perversion of democracy that is happening at this time.” madisondaum2022@u.northwestern.edu

Ryan Taylor shines with 20 points in his Wildcat debut New Orleans

Vic Law scored the 1000th point of his career on a made three in the first half, and, on Northwestern’s first possession after a New Orleans timeout, the senior forward canned another shot from beyond the arc. After playing a team-high 32 minutes and taking 12 shots in the season opener, it was clear his role is not strictly the team’s defensive stopper — he’s developed into a more well-rounded two-way player the team will be relying on all season. In his new role, Law contributed 18 points and went 3-6 from three in NU’s (1-0) season-opening 82-52 win over the Privateers (1-1). “Whatever you guys try and call me, I’m just going to try to do my best on the floor,” he said. “I remember last year we played (Loyola Maryland) and we only won by one. So I’m happy that this year we handled business and played really well.” Eight minutes into the second half, the Cats only had a seven-point lead and were struggling getting anything going in transition. Then, Collins gave Law the responsibilities of the point guard, having

the senior bring up the ball and defend Lamont Berzat, New Orleans’ dynamic floor general. Law led the group on a 27-9 run before being subbed out with two minutes remaining by pushing the ball up the floor and taking New Orleans’ best shot creator out of the action. Law finished the half with six points, four rebounds, four assists and a steal, and Collins said his energy helped get the team out of the rut it was in. With senior center Dererk Pardon struggling to get touches in the first half as a result of the Privateers’ zone defense, Collins adjusted the offense to run the ball through Law, senior guard Ryan Taylor and sophomore forward A.J. Turner, who finished with 20 and 11 points respectively. According to Law, Taylor’s offball cutting “(makes) it easy” for him to finish a game with five assists, and Collins was satisfied with how the team responded to New Orleans’ pressure. “It’s great to play a team like this that got after us,” Collins said. “(They) got in

passing lanes and tried to pressure us a little bit. Although at times it looked maybe disjointed, we only had nine turnovers.” While Collins started the same lineup he did in last week’s exhibition, Turner and sophomore guard Anthony Gaines were on the floor instead of freshman forward Miller Kopp and junior guard Jordan Ash when the Cats made their run in the beginning of the half. After struggling offensively in the first half, that group helped lead NU to score 18 points in the paint and force 15 turnovers in the second half. During the offseason, Law had surgery to increase his lung capacity so he wouldn’t get winded in the second halves of games and so he could keep his performance more consistent. After playing 17 consecutive minutes to put the game away, Law said he was feeling healthy and optimistic about what that could mean for the season. “I think I look good, I play more aggressively and I don’t get tired as easily,” Law said. “(Now) we just present different things that teams have to be very attentive on game-planning on. Moving forward, I’m very happy with what I saw.” charliegoldsmith2021@u.northwestern. edu

Wildcats look to build NU preps for battle versus Duke on early fall success By PETER WARREN

After two successful tournaments to start the year, Northwestern is down in the bayou this weekend to wrap up its fall season at the Tiger Fall Classic. The event will feature four teams — Louisiana State, Boston College, a combined team of Central Florida and Southern Methodist and the inexperienced Wildcats.

”

There were things I need to work and that’s what I did as soon as I got back. (The) first few weeks have been pretty good for me. Claire Pollard, coach

“We lost a lot last year but I think we added some great pieces,” coach Claire Pollard said. “It’s still very early but we’ve worked hard this fall and it will be nice to see how we perform when it sort of matters.” The four teams will all face off over the course of three days. Friday, NU will play doubles against UCF/SMU and then play singles against the Tigers. Saturday, the Cats will contest doubles against the Eagles and LSU before ending the day with singles matches against UCF/SMU. They will play only round of matches Sunday, a set of singles contests against Boston College. Pollard said one of the biggest things she is looking at for this tournament is her lineup. “I would like to figure out our doubles — that’s my main concern,” she

added. “I want see how the middle of the lineup is going to perform.” At NU’s last competition — the ITA Midwest Regional in Ann Arbor, Michigan, freshman Clarissa Hand was the highest-placing finisher. The New Jersey native made it to the semifinals of the tournament before falling to Michigan’s Chiara Lommer in the semifinals, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. On her way to the semifinals, Hand beat Giulia Pairone of the Wolverines, who was the No. 2 seed in the bracket, in the quarterfinals. “I was really happy with my results,” Hand said. “Obviously there were things I need to work and that’s what I did as soon as I got back. (The) first few weeks have been pretty good for me.” In the doubles portion of the event, the duos of junior Julie Byrne and senior Rheeya Doshi and senior Lee Or and sophomore Inci Ogut both advanced to the semifinals. As an individual, Byrne made it to the quarterfinals of the singles bracket before also being beaten by Lommer. She said the Cats’ roster comprises of strong returners and promising freshmen, but one particular characteristic of the team sticks out. “Our competitiveness is one of our strengths,” Byrne said. “If we put in a lot of work, we all know how well we can play.” After this tournament, the Cats will not lace up their tennis shoes until they face Miami in south Florida in January. Pollard said that work always continues and that she hopes the team remains on top of its game as the season further progresses. “You are always trying to get the pieces right,” Pollard said. “You are trying to make sure your chemistry is good, that your culture is good. That everyone sort of close to being on the same page and puts the team before themselves.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu

Last year, Northwestern played its home-opener against Oakland and won by 18 points. In 2015, the Wildcats battled Howard in its home-opener and won by 40 points. Five autumns prior, Dartmouth visited Evanston for NU’s home-opener and proceeded to lose by 29 to the Cats. For the past nine years, NU (1-0) has not played any major conference opponent to open its season and has proceed to win all but one of the games by doubledigits. However, for the first official game in the new Welsh-Ryan Arena, coach Joe McKeown wanted something different — a tough game against a powerhouse. “I reached out to Duke, to Tennessee, I was going to reach out to Connecticut,” McKeown said. “I wanted a big game, for our players, to be the first game we played here this year. Duke got back to us right away.” All three of those teams are ranked

No. 21 Duke vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 1 p.m. Sunday

— Connecticut at No. 2, Tennessee at No. 11 and Duke at No. 21 — and have combined to appear in 39 Elite Eights since the turn of the melinumum. But the Blue Devils (0-0) will get the honor of playing the first official game at the reopened Welsh-Ryan on Sunday. While the Blue Devils are at the low end of those three teams in terms of national and historical prevalence, they have a great pedigree. Coached by Joanne McCallie — who played for Northwestern in the 1980s and was an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 1987 — Duke is coming off a 24-9 season and NCAA Tournament appearance. Under McCallie, who has been the head coach of the Blue Devils since 2007, Duke has appeared in 10 NCAA Tournaments, four Elite Eights and won three ACC Championships. However, the Blue Devils’ two leading scorers from last season are now playing

professionally. Junior guard Haley Gorecki is the only returning player who averaged over 10 points per game last season, but the Illinois native did not play the last month and a half of the 2017-18 season with a hip injury. Duke has not yet played a regular season game, but the Blue Devils did beat Alaska - Anchorage in an exhibition game on Saturday. The Cats, on the other hand, will enter Sunday with an impressive nonconference road victory already under their belt after they used a late 10-0 rally to beat Green Bay, 57-55, on Tuesday. Senior forward Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah led NU in scoring and rebounding as she earned her first double-double of the season, scoring 17 points and grabbing 14 rebounds — including six on the offensive glass. However, the senior captain tied for the lowest amount of minutes played by any starter as she picked up four fouls and had to sit for a stretch in the fourth quarter. “One of the emphasis for me this year is to try not to be in too much foul trouble,” Kunaiyi-Akpanah said. “My style of play is very aggressive so I like to go in there and battle for rebounds and that usually ends up resulting in a foul. Definitely I have to watch how aggressive I’m being and definitely try tone down if (I’m in foul trouble).” One of the keys McKeown said helped the Cats — who were down by as much as 11 points — get back into the game was a full-court press. McKeown said he does not think the team is experienced enough to be able to run the defense for a “sustained” amount of time. Sophomore guard Lindsey Pulliam said one of the biggest changes from last year is the depth, and that because there are more players who can sub in and out of the lineup, there is more opportunities to play fast. “We can try and push the tempo a lot more, get out in transition,” Pulliams said. “We can press a little bit more. We can speed teams up...I think we can bring a lot more tempo to the game and get out in transition more.” peterwarren2021@u.northwestern.edu
