Dunkin’ Donuts opens on ground floor of Norris By REbecca savransky daily senior staffer @beccasavransky
Dunkin’ Donuts had a soft opening Monday on the ground floor of Norris University Center. Norris executive director Kelly Schaefer said the franchise was staffed and “ready to go” as of last week, but employees will be working to smooth any issues that arise prior to the April 10 grand opening. Rachel Tilghman, Sodexo marketing manager, said the cafe’s opening has been going well and students have been expressing excitement about the addition. “It has been pretty smooth thus far,” Tilghman said. “Overall everything was positive. People felt that they were moving through the line pretty quickly and were really excited to have Dunkin’ on campus.” Tilghman said the cafe’s grand opening will include a presentation involving speeches from students and campus administrators and free samples and giveaways. She said she is still working to secure the attendance of several administrators but there will likely be
representatives from Associated Student Government and Sodexo. “We’re very excited everyone’s coming together to support Dunkin’,” Tilghman said. The cafe’s hours, which were determined through student input and survey responses, will be similar to those at Starbucks during the week but will close earlier on Friday and Saturday and open later on weekends, Schaefer said. Monday through Thursday, Dunkin’ Donuts will open at 8 a.m. and close at 11:45 p.m. Schaefer said the chain will have a full menu with the exception of espresso drinks, due to the previously established contract with Starbucks. Although both franchises sell coffee, the addition of Dunkin’ is meant to bring more variety to students rather than directly compete with Starbucks, Tilghman said. “There are just different options and the donuts and sandwiches are just a different taste,” she said. She said she is also looking into creating a rewards program for the cafe, but the details for that system have not yet been established. » See DUNKIN’, page 9

A Weinberg senior started a petition last quarter requesting Mayfest bring a “female-bodied artist” to this year’s Dillo Day, noting it has been four years since the
Weinberg dean a candidate for UWMadison provost
Sarah Mangelsdorf, dean of Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, is a candidate to be provost of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the school’s search committee announced this month. Mangelsdorf is one of four finalists for the position. UW-Madison’s chancellor Rebecca Blank is expected to make a final decision sometime in April, so the new provost can assume the role for the 2014-15 academic year, UW-Madison spokesman John Lucas said. Mangelsdorf visited the Madison campus last week to give a public presentation to the university’s community. “Everywhere I go I meet Wisconsin

Members of the Mayfest executive board said prior to seeing the petition, the group had been looking to feature a female performer for this year’s Dillo Day. Medill junior Ian Robinson, said alums … I see more Wisconsin alums at Northwestern-Wisconsin athletic events,” she said during her presentation. “There are many more Badgers filling up our football stadium, our basketball arena.” Each finalist visited campus and gave a presentation during March to give members of the UW-Madison community the opportunity to give feedback to the chancellor, Lucas said. A 17-person committee began the search process for a new provost in November. UW-Madison’s new provost will succeed provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs Paul DeLuca, Jr., who announced his retirement from the position in June. University spokesman Al Cubbage declined to comment. Rebecca Savransky contributed reporting.

including gender diversity in the Dillo Day lineup has been a priority since the beginning of the school year. “Literally at our first meeting where we talked about some of the artists that we want to potentially bring, it was brought up that we recognize that we haven’t had a female performer in the past few years,” Robinson said. “When we saw the petition, it was cool to see that it was something the campus noticed as well and something the campus cares about.” The last female solo artist on the Dillo Day stage was Regina Spektor, who performed as the daytime headliner in 2010. “Since I have been here there hasn’t been a female performer,” Robinson said. Medill junior Ted Tae signed the petition, but said he was not sure the lack of female performers was intentionally noninclusive. “I thought it was interesting the point that she brought up about there not being a female artist in four years,” Tae said. “I » See DILLO DAY, page 9

Evanston aldermen gave Community Animal Rescue Effort one week from Monday to respond to recommendations that will decide whether the city’s relationship with the local animal nonprofit will continue. For the bulk of the meeting, aldermen discussed the best course of action to improve and expand animal care and control operations in the city. Aldermen decided that if CARE is to continue working with the city, it must accept the provisions put forward by city manager Wally Bobkiewicz. Ald. Jane Grover (7th) said the draft policy is “exactly” what she had envisioned. “This is not about CARE,” Grover said. “It is first and foremost about operations at the shelter, whether the
practices of the shelter are reflective of the community values.” Grover stressed that many of the terms of the policy are non-negotiable. She said if CARE does not have an interest or capacity to operate under the terms the committee proposed, then the city would seek out a successor agency to operate the shelter. Bobkiewicz said board members of CARE reviewed the new policies and responded in an email, saying “it is abundantly clear that the proposal is not consistent with the committee’s requests.” Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd) said the email might as well have gone into his spam folder. “I can’t support a direction where we are trying to make a connection with an organization and they can’t even give us the slightest hint of feedback,” Braithwaite said. “We are the committee, tell » See CARE, page 9
NLRB rules in favor of unionization By Alex putterman
daily senior staffer @AlexPutt02
A week after the National Labor Relations Board ruled in favor of the College Athletes Players Association — affirming CAPA’s claim that student-athletes are University employees — the movement’s leaders head to Washington, D.C., to lobby legislators. Former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter and CAPA president Ramogi Huma will visit the nation’s capital in hopes of clarifying misconceptions about their crusade for college athletes’ rights, ESPN reported. Last Wednesday, NLRB regional director Peter Sung Ohr ruled that NU players are legally employees of the University
and therefore have the right to form a union. “This was a win on all fronts,” said Tim Waters, political director at United Steelworkers, which has supported CAPA throughout the unionization process. “We think the NLRB got it right. And we’re pretty happy.” In statement issued shortly after the ruling, NU said it was “disappointed” with the ruling and announced its plans to appeal to the NLRB’s main office in Washington. “While we respect the NLRB process and the regional director’s opinion, we disagree with it,” the statement said. “Northwestern believes strongly that our student-athletes are not employees, but students. Unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised
by student-athletes.” The NCAA, which is not directly involved in the CAPA case but whose interests are largely at stake, issued its own statement, expressing displeasure with the NRLB ruling. “We strongly disagree with the notion that student-athletes are employees,” Donald Remy, the NCAA’s chief legal officer, said in the statement. “We frequently hear from student-athletes, across all sports, that they participate to enhance their overall college experience and for the love of their sport, not to be paid.” CAPA, led by former NU quarterback Kain Colter, seeks the opportunity to negotiate with the school for players’ rights.
