Preservationists sue Chicago, tout reuse After suit, judge issues temporary stay on hospital demolition
Architects, Chicago residents discuss Prentice design ideas
By SUSAN DU and MARSHALL COHEN daily senior staffers
By INA YANG
A Cook County judge handed down a preliminary ruling Thursday in favor of preservationists in their quest to save Prentice Women’s Hospital from demolition. Earlier in the day, preservationists groups filed a lawsuit accusing the Commission of Chicago Landmarks of breaking city codes when they declined landmark status for the building. The panel voted Nov. 1 against granting landmark status to Prentice, which Northwestern plans to demolish in order to build a new biomedical research center. The Cook County judge issued a temporary stay of the commission’s decision and the city of Chicago is barred from issuing a demolition permit for the site until the issue is legally resolved. The next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 7. “We are disappointed with the judge’s decision today, and we will be filing a motion to dismiss the complaint,” said Roderick Drew, spokesman of the Chicago Department of Law, in a Thursday email to The Daily. “We are confident that the City and the Landmarks Commission took the appropriate steps and followed the proper procedures.” NU officials declined to comment on Thursday’s temporary ruling
CHICAGO — The Chicago Architectural Club announced the winners of “Future Prentice,” an international design ideas competition serving as a public debate about the future of Bertrand Goldberg’s Prentice Women’s Hospital. More than 100 people attended the kickoff event for the exhibition at the CAF Lecture Hall, 224 S. Michigan Ave., hours after a Cook County judge granted temporary landmark status to the hospital. In less than two months, 71 design teams from 13 countries submitted their proposals for the possible reuse of the historic hospital, keeping Northwestern’s request of a state-of-the-art research facility in mind. The first place winner was titled “The Buildings are sleeping, you should go and wake them up, she says.” The design by Cyril Marsollier and Wallo Villacorta essentially cuts the hospital in half, adding other structures on the other side. However, the reflective material on the new structure ensures the hospital keeps its iconic look. During the question-and-answer

section of Thursday’s event, several audience members posed questions regarding the University’s attitude on the competition. An invitation to attend the event was sent to University officials, event organizers said. Chicago Architectural Club CoPresident Karla Sierralta stressed that the club wanted the event to be a platform for architectural dialogue around Prentice Women’s Hospital. “It’s meant to open the conversation and keep the conversation alive, more than a specific proposal,” Sierralta said. University spokesman Al Cubbage said in an email to The Daily on Thursday that though the University appreciates the club’s interest in the former hospital, NU has already set plans calling for demolition of the existing structure and building of a new biomedical research facility. Joe Kunkel, president of Chicago Bauhaus & Beyond, a nonprofit that celebrates Chicago’s legacy of modernist design, underwrote the “Future Prentice” exhibition. “We like to facilitate the dialogue of architecture and how it affects the community and also preserve the history and fabric of the city,” Kunkel said. The exhibition will remain on display through Feb. 21 at the CAF Lecture Hall. yirenyang2015@u.northwestern.edu
Policy nixes employee- NU joins online course offerings New ‘state-of-the-art’ student relationships curriculum to launch Community assistants prohibited from romancing residents By LAUREN CARUBA
daily senior staffer
In accordance with a new policy implemented this fall, employees in the Division of Student Affairs are now prohibited from having relationships with Northwestern students. The policy prohibits all Student Affairs administrators, faculty and staff members, including Community Assistants, from engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with students they encounter as part of their occupational duties. NU personnel must acknowledge their “unique” relationships with students as “trusted university representatives,” according to the policy. Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs, began developing the policy when she came to NU last year. The rule, which Telles-Irvin said she enacted in her previous position
at the University of Florida, is a “really good practice to have” to ensure that staff are “clear about their roles.” Staff in Student Affairs often supervise or mentor students, so the new policy aims to distinctly outline appropriate behavior, Telles-Irvin said. “It’s a privilege to have that relationship with students,” she said. “I don’t want anybody to cross that line, to cross that boundary. When you cross that boundary, it complicates the relationship and it can harm the student’s wellness.” Romantic or sexual relations with students are banned even if they are consensual. “I know of situations where we have older people trying to have a relationship with a younger student,” TellesIrvin said. “I want to be proactive and be sure we try to prevent that from happening here.” Because the policy applies to all employees within Student Affairs, it also extends to student employees, who hold jobs across the division’s 31 different departments. As a result, graduate assistants, practicum students » See POLICY, page 7

Northwestern announced Thursday plans to partner with nine peer institutions to offer a state-of-the-art online curriculum to undergraduates. Semester Online, the new interactive platform, will offer courses for undergraduates online through a consortium of the nation’s top schools beginning in Fall 2013. “It’s the wave of the future,” University spokesman Bob Rowley said. “It’s going to allow leading universities to share the best of what they do.” Rowley explained that the technology developed by 2U, Inc., a programming company that has previously created similar platforms for graduate courses, will allow students to interact in real time with both their professor and other students. Rowley explained that students in the virtual classroom will be able to see a live feed of the professor lecturing as well as the other students participating in the class. On the split computer

screen, students will also be able to see a chat room window and the material the professor is presenting, such as slides in a PowerPoint. “You’re in real time, on camera, interacting with fellow students as well as your professors,” Rowley said. University Provost Dan Linzer led the plans for Semester Online, which Rowley said first began following a meeting between Linzer and provosts from Washington University in St. Louis, Emory University and Duke University. Linzer said working with peer institutions made the program
much more feasible than attempting to begin online course programming as a single institution. In addition to Washington University in St. Louis, Emory and Duke, NU will join Brandeis University, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Notre Dame, University of Rochester, Vanderbilt University and Wake Forest University in offering this course programming, according to a University release. » See ONLINE, page 7

Around Town Evanston selected for sustainability rating pilot program
Evanston was picked to participate in a pilot of a new system that assesses community sustainability and tracks environmental goals. Evanston was one of 29 cities and counties in North America selected for a one-year test of the STAR Community Rating System, according to a news release. The system, released in October, develops ratings from seven goal areas, including “climate and energy” and “economy and jobs.” “I am confident that we will continue to serve as a model for sustainability and I am delighted we have been selected as a STAR Community participating in this pilot program,” Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl said in a news release. Communities will earn points by completing objectives in each goal area. For instance, under the “built environment” goal, Evanston can earn up to five points for effectively managing ambient noise and light Participants with strong sustainability efforts can receive special designations and national recognition. By tracking performance, local governments will be able to modify their sustainability strategy, according to the rating system report. “Sustainable communities engage in continuous discovery, rediscovery and invention as they learn more about the impacts of their actions,” the report reads. City officials and residents are working on sustainability, particularly after the development of the Evanston Climate Action Plan in 2008. The plan contains hundreds of strategies to reach the goal of reducing the city’s greenhouse gas emissions by 13 percent by the end of the year, according to the news release. “Since adopting the ECAP in 2008, our efforts have helped Evanston to become the ‘Green City’ it has set out to be, but we still have a lot more to accomplish,” Tisdahl said in the release. The city has received several environmental accolades in recent years. — Manuel Rapda
New Americans with Disabilities Act board to help residents
The Evanston City Council established the Americans with Disabilities Act Advisory Board on Monday to help the city find ways to make Evanston more accessible to individuals with disabilities. The city’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has been involved in implementing ADA in Evanston and in recommending the creation of the advisory board. Department Director Doug Gaynor said the board was another step in making Evanston more accessible. “It’s important to have some folks from the community to determine the highest priorities,
what needs to be addressed and what’s really important,” Gaynor said. Without this board, Gaynor said initiatives to make Evanston more accessible would come from within city government itself. Once created, the board will meet twice a year to review ADA projects and evaluate existing projects. “This board will allow citizens to assist us and let us know where the needs are,” Gaynor said. The Americans with Disabilities Act, passed in 1990, requires equal opportunity and access for individuals with disabilities. The city’s ADA transition plan, published in September, recommended the creation of the advisory board. Gaynor said Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl will appoint board members soon. — Ciara McCarthy

On Campus NU honors 100 years of fight song Administration to give away autographed jersey for best cover of school anthem By jeanne kuang
the daily northwestern
The Northwestern fight song has been around for a century, and the University is looking to use the anniversary to instill even more school pride in the NU community. University Relations is collaborating this month with the Department of Athletics and Recreation to host “Go U 100: The Northwestern Fight Song Centennial Contest,� in which students, faculty, alumni and fans submit their own recorded renditions of the fight song. NU’s fight song, “Go U! Northwestern,� was written by student Theodore Van Etten in 1912 following an NU football victory against Indiana University. The University plans to officially celebrate the song’s centennial Nov. 24 at Ryan Field during the game against the University of Illinois. Submissions, which will be accepted until Sunday, will be judged by athletic bands director Dan Farris, WildPride spirit squad coordinator Pam Bonnevier and football coach Pat Fitzgerald. Winners will receive a Northwestern Athletics prize pack with an autographed “Coach Fitz� jersey, and their submissions will play on the CatVision screen during the game. The contest originated with Matthew Paolelli, web content producer for University Relations, and Doug Meffley, assistant director of digital and social communications for the athletics department. Paolelli said he came up with the idea in 2009 when he “just happened to ponder the fact that the fight song would be turning 100 in 2012.� He planned to hold a contest that invited student groups, faculty and staff members to create videos to celebrate the song.

u rah rah The Northwestern University Marching Band plays the school fight song before the football game against Indiana on Sept. 29. The fight song turns 100 years old this month.
When Meffley had a similar idea for a fight song contest, the two decided to partner up for the competition. “We were going to do the same thing on the athletics side with our fans, student athletes and teams,� Meffley said. “So we brought all of that together into one contest.� Paolelli said University Relations is “very open to user-submitted content.� They run Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook accounts for the school, and Meffley said the University is increasingly trying to use social media to reach out to students and alumni alike, whether through contests like this one or game-day interactions. So far, submissions have included the fight song sung by University Archives staff members, as well
as a rendition by the 3-year-old twin daughters of an alumna. Marching band member Carley Lintz, said singing the fight song with the football team during games is a “unifying� experience. “You can’t help but, when you’re singing it, feel really really proud to be going to Northwestern,� the Medill sophomore said. University officials said they hope the contest will “stir up� more school spirit. “Tapping into something that’s a common experience for the Northwestern community, past and present, is a good way to make people feel that purple pride,� Paolelli said.

Using a Northwestern professor’s research, a startup company based in Los Angeles broke records in laboratory tests of battery performance, it announced in late October. Prof. Harold Kung is the lead author of a paper exposing breakthrough battery technology that the Advanced Energy Materials journal published October 2011. In conjunction with the Argonne National Laboratory, California Lithium Battery Inc. used information and methods described in the paper to develop technology that could be sold commercially. Kung said he and his team began their research about five years ago. An advocate for developing sustainable use of natural resources, he focused on developing an effective way to reduce carbon emissions from vehicles. By improving the battery life of electric cars, he said, people would be more inclined to buy them. “I looked into why people don’t like to buy electric cars, which is because of the battery life,� he said. “So looking into that, we said ‘What can we do about it?’ Improve energy density and power delivery.� However, some NU students predicted that despite an extended battery life, consumers would remain wary of electric cars. “I think people are afraid that it’ll just run out in the middle of nowhere and they’re not going to have a way to charge it,� said Kathy Hong, SESP sophomore. Funded by the U.S. Department of Looking into Energy, Kung and his team found a that, we said breakthrough in ‘What can we improving the negative electron of a do about it?’ called the Improve energy battery anode. Postdocdensity and toral researcher Xin power delivery. Zhao, graduate student Cary Hayner Harold Kung, and Prof. Mayfair McCormick Kung helped Kung professor compile their discoveries into the paper. The company reported that with the new technology, GEN3, its batteries could hold three times more energy than the standard lithium-ion battery, which is used most commonly for consumer electronics. “This equates to more than a 300 percent improvement in LIB (lithium-ion battery) capacity and an estimated 70 percent reduction in lifetime cost for batteries used in consumer electronics, EVs, and grid-scale energy storage,� CEO Phil Roberts said in a press release from CalBattery. Regardless of the technology, the amount of sales will depend on the cost, said Kung. “At the end of it, people buy the battery not just because the power density but the unit of energy per dollar,� he said. NU has no affiliation with the company and is currently filing a patent for the information disclosed in the publication. The patent encompasses most importantly the material of Kung and his team’s discovery and its structural configuration and versatility, Kung said. If the patent is approved, CalBattery will have to negotiate with the University in order to sell its products, said Kung. The company told news website Talking Points Memo that it plans to produce and sell material in the next two to three years.

NU will be tested by tricky Michigan State team By JOSH WALFISH
daily senior staffer
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio is known for having a couple of tricks up his sleeves. Two years ago, the Spartans beat Notre Dame on a fake field goal in overtime and, nearly a month later, pulled off a successful fake punt against Northwestern to help Michigan State make a second-half comeback. NU coach Pat Fitzgerald said he has a plan in place for the trick plays, but he doesn’t put too much focus on them. “He’s done a bunch of them,” Fitzgerald said. “We prepare the same way each week based on what we’ve seen in video and what I have in my library of the head coach and his staff. You just go on the empirical data that you have.” Trick plays won’t be a majority of the snaps in a football game, so focusing too much on them can be debilitating. Instead, the Wildcats will put a lot of focus on stopping Spartans’ running back Le’Veon Bell. He is the Big Ten’s leading rusher with an average of 124.9 yards per game and is a big, bruising back. He has 10 touchdowns this season and will be difficult for the Cats to bring down without discipline. Throughout the week, coaches paused practice to make sure the defense was aligned correctly and players were hitting the correct gaps. Senior linebacker David Nwabuisi said it will be very important for NU to limit Bell and force quarterback Andrew Maxwell to throw. In order to accomplish the feat, Nwabuisi said the Cats must keep doing what they’ve done for the entire season. “We got to play physical, hit our gaps, make (Bell) keep his shoulders sideways and don’t let him go downhill,” Nwabuisi said. “We’ve been stopping the run and mainly forcing teams to throw on us and we have to

just keep it going.” The defense will also need to key in on Maxwell, who has been shaky this season in his first year as the starter. Last season, the Cats faced veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, who finished his career as the best passer in Spartans history after compiling more than 9,000 yards through the air and throwing more than 60 touchdown passes. Nwabuisi said he notices a difference in the offense since Maxwell took over as the quarterback, but mainly it is how the two differ in experience with reading defenses. “Kirk Cousins seemed like he was there for eight years,” Nwabuisi said. “The guy was out there and he knew what was going on. Maxwell, as we’ve watched film, you could tell he’s been growing through every game and getting better and better, improving each and every game. ... We’re going to give some looks, and it’s up to the quarterback to recognize what we’re in.” NU’s run-heavy offense will also get a significant challenge when it faces Michigan State’s run defense, which is ranked third in the conference, giving up an average of 113.4 yards per contest. The Spartans return eight starters on defense from a year ago, which was the best defense in the Big Ten in 2011. They are led by middle linebacker Max Bullough and his 88

tackles as well as defensive end William Gholston with 10.5 tackles-for-loss. Fitzgerald compared the Michigan State unit to Nebraska in terms of speed and said it will be one of the most difficult tests of the season for the NU offense. He said the Spartans’ defense will pose a significant challenge for his team because of its experience and camaraderie. “This is not only on paper the best defense that we’ve faced, but also when you watch them on tape,” Fitzgerald said. “They play really well together. They know what they’re doing. They communicate well. They tackle well. They’re very fast and very physical, so it’s going to be a stiff test.” The week’s matchup also has significant implications for both teams’ postseason locations with a possible berth in the Gator Bowl on the line. Sophomore center Brandon Vitabile said the team isn’t worried about where the Cats will go for their bowl game. Instead, the team is focused on one week at a time and finding a way to win the football game. He said some teammates have heard rumors and comments from other students on campus regarding NU’s postseason hopes, but he emphasizes Fitzgerald’s message of relying on the team for support, especially after the difficult loss last week to Michigan. “You just have to try and block it out and stick to the family we have here,” he said. “That’s what we got to stick to, and fall back on the support system we have here.”

Few words bring more smiles to Northwestern fans on a Saturday afternoon than a perfect rendition of “Mike Trumpy the ball carrier!” Trumpy, the Wildcats’ redshirt junior running back, is now in his fourth year in the football program, but it has been a long and bumpy road. In his first full year on the team, the Wheaton, Ill., native put up the best numbers of his career. He played in 11 games and racked up 530 yards on 116 rushes as well as four touchdowns. Last season, Trumpy entered the year as NU’s featured running back. He played well during his first three games of the season, carrying the ball 35 times for 182 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. But on Oct. 1, 2011, the tone of Trumpy’s season changed when he suffered a torn ACL against in-state rival Illinois. Trumpy underwent knee surgery Oct. 13 and returned this season with a clean bill of health. “I’m just trying to do everything I can to help the team,” Trumpy said. “I have all the trust in my knee. It’s feeling perfectly fine, it doesn’t get sore anymore.” Trumpy’s “help” in 2012 has led to NU having one of its best rushing attacks in school history. Although Trumpy gave way to junior Venric Mark as the team’s featured runner, he still contributes in numerous ways. The 6-foot, 210-pound Trumpy mainly acts as a change-of-pace back, totaling 58 carries for 294 yards and two touchdowns, and a solid 5.1 yards per carry average. As a team this year, the Cats have run for 237.6 yards per game, good for 14th overall in the country. “The offensive line is playing really well this year,”
Trumpy said when asked about the success of the running game. “They’re coming together. They have a lot of confidence in each other and we have a lot of confidence in them.” Trumpy’s impact in the passing game has been two-fold. He frequently acts as a pass-blocker in shotgun formations, not only stopping blitzing defenders but also clearing the way for junior quarterback Kain Colter on quarterback draws. Trumpy has also served as a reliable receiver from the backfield, catching 8 passes for 56 yards, including a 3-reception, 28-yard game on the road against Penn State. “Mike’s done a great job. His attitude has been terrific,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said before the Michigan game. Mark, who took the reins from Trumpy going into this season, still maintains a friendly relationship with his sidekick in the backfield. “We’re good friends, we all learn from each other,” Mark said. “Mike is a great running back. He runs hard. Of course, he’s a lot bigger than me. Friendship-wise I think he’s a great guy.” Trumpy’s experience has been key to the running backs’ meeting room. It also means he has seen the shift of the NU offense from a vertical attack to one based more on the ground. Last season, the Cats averaged about 70 yards fewer in their rushing attack than they have this year. “I think we’ve always had a pretty good rushing attack,” Trumpy said. “I guess you could say we’re running the ball more this year. It’s nothing we’ve really thought about at all.” But more important than any statistic is Trumpy’s ability to stay on the field this year. If he makes it to the season finale against Illinois — the team that cut his season short last year — Trumpy will have played in every game and will have an opportunity to play in NU’s bowl game to end the season. “I’m just happy to be back.” Trumpy said. “Last year was very rough. The year before I missed two games with a broken wrist. I’m just happy to be back, feeling healthy and helping out the team.”

Tisdahl well-intentioned but lacks real solutions sydney zink
Daily columnist
As a new student, I’m still learning the basics about our University’s president and about my major’s department heads. Therefore, I have not yet finished familiarizing myself with the key players of the Evanston community. The Northwestern University Political Union facilitated a broad introduction to one of these leaders, hosting Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl on Wednesday for an open discussion on town-gown relations. The tense discussion laid out the relevant town-gown issues but lacked in compromise or resolution. The conversation quickly turned to Evanston’s “three-unrelated” ordinance, which has been a matter of significant concern among students who want to share housing with friends off campus. Despite student criticism of the ordinance as being worthlessly antiquated, Tisdahl held her ground, saying, “I’m not supporting phasing (the ordinance) out.” She did, however, make a point of wanting to increase diversity among housing options and judged the cost to rent a house of being “too high … artificially inflated.” Too many students occupying one house, she said, is one reason for this unfavorable inflation, thereby turning students’ arguments against or about the threeunrelated ordinance back upon themselves. She
acknowledged though that a key reason students wish to share off-campus housing is the very high price students must pay for housing and claims she wants to keep Northwestern students, including graduate students, housed and integrated in the Evanston community. However, her statements appeared a stale reminder of false hopes, and students remain allayed with fear of penalization or eviction landlords as well as frustration with both the continuance of the ordinance as well as the hoops they go through to pass inspections. One student mentioned a student who had to move all belongings associated with a resident — furniture and all — out of the living space in anticipation of an upcoming inspection. The reality is that although Tisdahl pushes reassurance that evictions haven’t and won’t happen to students because of the ordinance, the ordinance is still creating a great burden to students. The reasons behind the ordinance’s existence, despite its reputation among students, are nevertheless understandable. Tisdahl cited numerous complaints filed by Evanston residents about excessive, blatant noise or other debauchery occurring in student dwellings off campus. She also says she will not support the transformation of such houses into “slum”-like environments from risky physical alterations, deliberate disregard (primarily on the part of landlords) for basic safety requirements on the property, and concerningly high occupancy numbers in houses meant for fewer people. As for constructing this ordinance to appeal to
Big-picture focus neglects social justice importance julianna nunez
Daily columnist
I read on Wednesday that one of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s top priorities is legalizing gay marriage. This would be good for the city and fair to its citizens. However, as I read the comments section of this article, I found that many people were not pleased with Emanuel’s priorities, many of them citing the city’s budget problems and crime rate to be of higher priority. I’ll admit that I cringed a little when I saw that opening a casino in Chicago was another one of his priorities, but I guess that’s one of Emanuel’s ways of approaching the budget problem. But that was not the priority the article or the comments were concerned about. I know as well as anyone that Chicago has tons of problems. Nonetheless, that does not mean legalizing gay marriage cannot be one of the mayor’s priorities. This is an argument I see it a lot when it comes to social justice issues or even personal complaints. There always seems to be someone who stands up and mentions that there is war in the Middle East and starving people around the world. Really? There’s a war in the Middle East? Please tell me more. People are complex and there are certain issues that they hold dearer to their heart than others. I know there is war and global hunger, but that does not mean we have to ignore social justice at home as a way to acknowledge those problems. I guess I can understand where this argument comes from, especially since there are social justice issues some people just do not understand or care for, but that does not make the issue at hand any less important to its activists. If people care about an issue, there is a reason for it beyond pettiness. The point is that there are many issues going on and the importance of these is subjective to everyone. Unless you are Miss America, I doubt ending war and feeding the hungry are the only problems that are plaguing your mind. That always seems to be the counter-argument when someone talks about a social justice argument. It’s a red herring and it’s rude to those who are facing any kind of social injustice. There is a difference
between someone having a “first world problem moment” (like if the comic book store doesn’t have the “Game of Thrones” poster you want) and legitimate social concerns (like gay marriage). The media’s job is to reflect a variety of interests. If newspapers were to go by what the cartoon was trying to state, then all we would read about is the worst of the world’s problems. Why? Because those are the big problems and so are the most deserving of our attention. That is an incredibly flawed way to approach the problems that go on in the world. There will always be something worse going on, that’s just how the world works. Are social justice issues This is an always the most argument I see pressing and serious ones going on a lot when it in the moment? comes to social No, but that does justice issues. not make them less important. There always any We cannot ignore seems to be social justice issues someone who like gay marriage and institutionalstands up and ized racism because mentions that there is violence in or because there is a war in Chicago there are bigger the Middle East problems out there. The moment we and starving forget to care about people around social justice is the moment we forget the world. our humanity. We cannot improve the bigger problems in the world if we cannot even function as a society. We need to fix all kinds of problems and learn from them. When there is social justice, people can work together more easily. When people can work together in peace we can work together on the bigger issues. There are people focusing on global problems right now and that’s great. We can focus on a variety of problems without presenting one as being more deserving of our attention than others.
students, I suspect the Evanston community would respond: “Haven’t we accommodated them enough already?” A strong undercurrent of Tisdahl’s talk was about the prevalent “Northwestern bashing” going on in town hall meetings and generally carried in town members’ sentiments. Whether you or most Evanston residents agree, many residents affected by Northwestern’s activity — voicing concerns on a variety of matters ranging from its concerning drinking culture to the proposed installation of a visitors’ center — would unfavorably regard Evanston as a “college town.” Northwestern students, in return, ask more of Evanston as well, including better lighting in off-campus areas and looser housing ordinances. Tisdahl, upon being prompted about Dillo Day, said that the concern in the community is how Dillo Day debauchery seems to extend throughout the year. However, considering how widely concern has spread on campus recently about NU’s drinking culture and how expressively unsettled students continue to be about this “nonexistent” brothel law, I am not quite satisfied with the degree of prevalence Tisdahl credited towards these toplevel concerns during her visit. She prides herself on closing The Keg, which, after reopening, now cards people while it continues to await its appeals process. But she still places NU’s drinking concerns in its own hands when stating that she would be “very pleased” if President Schapiro took another look at alcohol at NU, leaving suggested action described in broad passivity. I do agree that drinking concerns fall upon
us as a university instead of being her or Evanston’s responsibility, but I also think there is a fourth wall between Northwestern and Evanston that she demonstrates to remain unbroken, perpetuating the NU bubble. On the other hand, in speaking of the NU bubble, I think communication needs to extend with greater awareness in both directions. Tisdahl’s closing words were that “no matter how hard we work at this, there will always be problems that crop up” and stressed that so long as there is goodwill on both sides, both NU and Evanston, town-gown relations have potential to improve. One student described such relations well as a double-edged sword, which extends beyond improvement strategies to internal sentiments of each group of both appreciating and facing difficulties from the other. Tisdahl comes off as somewhat removed from student concerns. Her good intentions remain clear but she still asserts practicality of her claims in defense of how she approaches the issues. NU and Tisdahl both seem to share this current state; they come off to each other as more self-defensive than empathetic, but at the same time both are trying with best intentions to change themselves to least obstruct the other and work beyond that base level to hopefully continue and expand means of beneficial synergy.

and students working in Residential Services must all abstain from entering relationships with those under their immediate jurisdiction. This creates a unique situation for residence halls’ CAs, who are both NU employees and students. Weinberg freshman Becca Dugan, who lives in Elder, said CAs have to walk a fine line between being a student and a university employee. “It can be kind of uncomfortable, especially if the CA is the same age as the people they’re supposed to be in charge of,� she said. However, Dugan also When said the new policy will you cross that prevent CAs from being biased and failing to boundary, it enforce the rules and complicates will ultimately “make students respect their the relationship CAs more.� and it can harm Taking the “ambiguthe student’s ity� out of what is considered right and wrong, wellness. the policy clearly outlines Patricia Tellesthe rules for student Irvin, employees, said Paul Riel, executive director of vice president for student affairs Residential Services. Riel said there is a “conflict of interest� for these students. ‘If you’re in a relationship with that individual, you may or may not choose to exercise your responsibility as a CA,� Riel said. Riel said the new procedure is not very groundbreaking, noting that it is a fairly common practice at large organizations. He said the specific guidelines for CAs essentially operate like those for supervisors and their employees in any other company. “This is not a new phenomena to organizations,� Riel said.
Linzer said because the universities are just now going public with these plans, classes for Semester Online have yet to be designed. However, he said a number of NU faculty members have indicated interest in the program. “Now that we’re moving in a more public way with this, there will be opportunity to have more specific discussions,� Linzer said. Rowley said that the consortium plans to start slowly, with only a small number of classes in the beginning. He said they plan to offer more than 30 courses at the launch in a range of subjects from humanities to sciences. Rowley explained the universities expect thousands of students to participate in the online courses. He said depending on the class, anywhere from 100 to 300 students could register for a course and attend lectures. The students would then also log in for additional seminar-style discussion classes, which would be capped at a maximum of 15 to 20 students, he said. “This is unique in its small class sizes,� Rowley said. Rowley explained that small class sizes are just one way that Semester Online will differ to other online education options currently available, such as increasingly popular massive open online courses. Unlike MOOCs, Rowley said these courses will emphasize a level of interaction and discussion and will allow students to gain undergraduate credit. Pricing for the online classes will be comparable to the tuition students pay for traditional courses at NU now. However, he confirmed that the University is continuing to look into MOOC opportunities through websites such as Coursera and Edx. “This is the first time undergraduates can take rigorous online courses for credit at some leading universities,� Rowley said.

Linzer said there are many logistical problems which still need to be worked out with Semester Online. For example, NU is on the quarter system, while most of the other universities are on a semester schedule, he said. “You have different systems that you’re going to have to mesh in some way,� Linzer said. “But, we do that all the time with study abroad programs.� Linzer said he thought many students at NU would respond positively to the new online option. “It’s a neat time to be a college student,� he said. “You now have more tools to work with.� NU students have met the news of the program with mixed reviews. Weinberg junior Harmony Lee said she was excited about the news of the program after studying MOOCs on Coursera this summer. She said she is hoping to live in Chicago next year, and taking courses online could lessen her commute. “I’m excited to see what courses they offer,� Lee said. But other students did not respond positively to the course’s price. Weinberg sophomore Sasha Lishansky said she liked listening to free courses online but would not pay for an online education. “If I’m paying this much I’d rather have face-to-face interaction with the intelligent people I’m paying for,� she said. “There’s also less of an incentive to prepare yourself mentally.� The Chicago Sun-Times published an editorial Wednesday praising NU and partnering universities for taking a step toward the future of higher education, even though that future may be uncertain. It noted while many schools already offer online courses, the program will offer classes for-credit, a distinction that — if successful — will set the 10 schools apart.

granting preliminary landmark status based on the building’s architectural integrity and then revoking it after an economic report from the Department of Housing and Economic Development. Preservationists believe the commission’s sole job was to evaluate Prentice according to a set of seven architectural principles and nothing more, according to a news release. They argue that the commission did not fully follow through with the landmarks ordinance by failing to give public notice of the meeting or include the Chicago City Council in its decision. “By any measure, Prentice deserves landmark status,� said attorney Michael Rachlis, spokesman for the Save Prentice Coalition, in the release. “The Commission recognized this in unanimously granting the building a preliminary landmark designation. Unfortunately, the Commission then violated the Chicago ordinance by taking away landmark designation in a manner that was unlawful.� From the beginning, NU argued that tearing down the abandoned hospital and building a research facility provided long-term economic and scientific benefits. Preservationists have doggedly pursued reuse options for the building. Peter Strazzabosco, spokesman for the Department of Housing and Economic Development, previously told The Daily that the landmarks ordinance determines the procedure for landmarks commission meetings, which are never adapted on a case-by-case basis. The landmarks ordinance states preliminary landmark status is granted based on architectural criteria, but commissioners must also consider a separate report that takes into account economic feasibility before making a final recommendation to the Chicago City Council. It is the city council, and not the commission, that ultimately decides whether to grant landmark status to a building. marshallcohen2014@u.northwestern.edu shijundu@gmail.com

Cats advance to second round By AVA WALLACE
daily senior staffer
Northwestern played by what coach Tim Lenahan calls “the old adage”: survive and advance. A first-round NCAA Tournament game that can be described by long bouts of Wildcats possession, nine different NU shot-takers and 19 shots from the Cats, came down to senior midfielder Nick Gendron’s second half goal. NU (12-5-4) came out firing against Western Illinois (7-9-5) Thursday night at Lakeside field. The Cats took 11 quality shots before halftime and at the break, Lenahan said the team was getting anxious. “We talked a little bit at halftime about having a little bit more sense of urgency to score a goal,” Lenahan said. “And Nick came through and tucked it off the post, and one was enough tonight. I give credit for Western Illinois — they worked hard, they fought hard and they made it such that it was a one-play game. And we made the play.” But the Cats’ 1-0 victory over the Leathernecks is misleading. Western Illinois was barely able to set up offensive plays throughout the game and had only 1 shot on goal. Perhaps anomalously, NU’s potent defensive line was not the biggest story of the night. Freshman forward Joey Calistri led the team with 5 shots and senior midfielder Kyle Schickel added 4 shots. From the beginning of the game, NU’s veteran offensive players in particular set a tone of calm control. Junior midfielder Lepe Seetane struck first with a header from inside the Leatherneck’s box just two minutes into the contest. “We were just trying to make plays,” Lenahan said. “We got one goal for 19 shots — that’s not going to set any records for offensive efficiency — but we got the

GOOD TIMES Nick Gendron and Cole Missimo celebrate after Northwestern’s victory over Western Illinois. The Cats outshot the Leathernecks 19-7, but Gendron scored the game’s only goal.
goal and that’s really all that matters.” Still, the Leathernecks improved during the second half and played aggressive defense. Though Lenahan said NU was not forced to make any adjustments, Western Illinois’ risk-taking, which included a tooclose-for-comfort bicycle kick from the Leathernecks’ leading scorer Nathan Bruinsma with eight seconds left in the game, had Lenahan nervous on the sideline. Gendron, Ritter, Schickel and senior defender Jarrett Baughman played notably larger roles in this victory than they have in the team’s past few games. Both Gendron and Ritter were pleased
to leave their home field with a victory. “This time of the year coach always says that ‘As the seniors go, so goes the team,’ so, it’s up to us,” Gendron said. “We know what it’s like, we’ve been here, it’s a long grind, it’s been a long season and you need your older guys — your veterans. It’s our job to step up and make plays for this team.” The seniors will play at least one more game, as the Cats now move to a second-round match up against seventhseed Marquette in Milwaukee, Wis., on Sunday evening. Lenahan said he leaves this firstround game, the team’s seventh-ever

IN WITH THE NEW Northwestern’s Jared Swopshire scored 22 points and chipped in 6 rebounds in the Wildcats’ win over Delta Devils. Swopshire transferred to NU in the offseason and will see major minutes.
Northwestern gets credited with a win for Thursday night’s performance, but it was not an effort the Wildcats hope to repeat. NU (2-0) defeated Mississippi Valley State (0-3) 81-68 at Welsh-Ryan Arena in a contest for which the outcome was uncertain deep into the second half, a troubling result for a team that hopes to contend in the Big Ten this season. Things began to go poorly for the Cats about 8 minutes into the game, when senior forward Drew Crawford picked up his second foul and grabbed a seat on the bench for the rest of the half. While fellow wings Jared Swopshire and Reggie Hearn picked up the offensive slack, scoring a combined 24 of NU’s 40 first half points, the Cats had no answer on defense for Delta Devils’ junior college transfer Davon Usher, who scored 35 points. “We just let them hang around,” coach Bill Carmody said. “That was my feeling at half, and then they gained confidence.” Three minutes into the second period, with NU up one, Crawford picked up his fourth foul and returned to the bench, leaving the Cats without their best player for much of the second half. Luckily for NU, Hearn and Swopshire were wearing purple and white. The duo continued their offensive dominance, scoring the Cats first 13 points of the second half, and an Alex Marcotullio 3-pointer with 13:18 on the clock gave NU an 11-point lead. “I’ve got faith in our guys,” Hearn

said. “Me, (Dave Sobolewski), Al, we’re all veterans, we’ve been playing here for a while. Swop’s a fifth-year guy. So I had faith that we’d be able to stick through it today.” But the resilient Delta Devils took those points right back, launching a 13-2 run punctuated by an Usher three that tied the game at 58 with 9:39 to play. Then came Sobolewski’s awakening. The senior guard hit a driving layup on which he was fouled, then minutes later made a three, 2 free throws, another layup, another three and a free throw. “We kept telling each other to keep pressuring them defensively and keep being aggressive on the offensive end,” the forward said. Hearn, who led NU with 23 points, said he took “full responsibility” for Usher’s outburst. “There were a couple times I wasn’t there on the catch,” Hearn said. “It took me 30 minutes to figure out I needed to face-guard this kid … If he went to the bathroom I needed to go with him.” The Cats have little time to linger on their difficulties against the Delta Devils. Still, Carmody said the scare was good for NU. “The guys don’t feel good about the win,” he said. “There are a lot of things to work on. And that’s good.” alexanderputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu
Julie Chin has been a critical part of Northwestern’s accomplishments the past four seasons. With 1,360 digs over the course of her career, the senior libero from Naperville, Ill., is ranked fifth in school history and will be remembered long after she leaves the Wildcats. Even though nostalgia is slowly starting to creep up on her with NU’s regular season coming to a close, Chin’s main concern right now is for the Cats to win this weekend and take advantage of their chance to make the NCAA tournament. “I am just excited because this is a great opportunity,” Chin said. “Our goal is to make the NCAA (tournament), and this is just another way to do so. That is how I am looking at it.” After losing to No. 2 Penn State (25-2, 15-1 Big Ten) 3-0 on the road last weekend, NU will return to Welsh-Ryan Arena to take on Michigan (21-9, 9-7) Friday before playing Michigan State (21-7, 9-7) Saturday. “Our expectation is to play the best volleyball we’ve played and to beat Michigan and Michigan State,” freshman defensive specialist Abbie Kraus said. The Cats had mixed results against both teams when they played earlier in the year, taking down the then-No. 25 Spartans, 3-1, in East Lansing, Mich., and losing to the Wolverines 3-0 in three closely contested sets. NU’s past play against both opponents gives the team some confidence heading into the upcoming matches, but the Cats understand they cannot just rely on past success to win this weekend, several players said. “You know it’s hard to beat a team twice,” Kraus said. “Were going to have to go out there and execute just like we did last time.” Once again the Cats face a critical weekend for their season with a must-win mindset. Currently ninth in the Big Ten, NU needs two or three wins to be a bubble team for the NCAA tournament. And with only four games left in the regular season including the season-finale against No. 9 Nebraska (20-5, 12-4), getting a sweep at home this weekend is vital. Coach Keylor Chan said the best way for the team to pick up wins in these matches is to not worry about the implications of each match. “We know it (the opportunity) exists so there’s no point in talking about it,” Chan said. “Really we just need to cut loose and play care free and know that we’re good enough. If we can do the things that we know we’re capable of doing, we’ll live with the results that happen.” Unfortunately for the Cats, WelshRyan Arena has been one of the team’s biggest nemeses this season. While NU has been able to split every road trip this season excluding last week’s losses to No.15 Ohio State (20-8, 11-5) and Penn State, the Cats home record is 4-6, including a 1-6 home record during Big Ten play. But the Cats said they aren’t concerned about their home record this weekend. Instead they’re focusing on simply playing their game of volleyball and letting the results speak for themselves. “I feel great.” Chan said. “We’re due. We’ll just play the percentages.” benjamintaylor2015@u.northwestern.edu
