Comedian Adam DeVine performed Tuesday night for a sold-out audience in Pick-Staiger Concert Hall. DeVine works as an actor and writer and is well known for the Comedy Central show “Workaholics,” for which he writes and stars in. He was also featured in the musical comedy “Pitch Perfect.” As A&O Productions’ spring speaker, DeVine shared jokes about his personal life and his TV show, while also interacting with the audience. “I think the reason I’m single is that every time I go to go on a date, some girl is like, ‘So like what
Howard Street shooting victim identified
A Chicago man has been identified as the victim of Monday’s fatal shooting inside a convenience store near the Howard Street CTA station, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Two others were also wounded during the shooting, police said. The shooting happened at about 7:40 p.m. in the 1600 block of West Howard Street, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Ana Pacheco. Someone from across the street opened fire on the three men, who were standing inside the store, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan. A 36-year-old man was hit in the chest and taken in critical condition to St. Francis Hospital, 355 Ridge Ave., where he was pronounced dead at about 8:30 p.m., according to authorities. The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified him as Darnall Gordon of the 6300 block of North Sacramento Avenue in Chicago. The gunfire also struck a 25-year-old man in the hip, wrist and leg, Sullivan said. The man
do you want to do? You want to go to dinner or the movies?’” he said. “I’m like f--k that, froyo. Let’s do this.” Following his routine, DeVine held a question-and-answer session with the audience. Bienen and Communication sophomore Daniel Stromfeld asked if his a cappella group, Thunk, could perform with DeVine because Stromfeld said it was his birthday. Stromfeld ended up performing alone with DeVine and the duo sang a rendition of “Lights” by Journey. “I was shaking the entire time,” Stromfeld told The Daily after the event. “I wish he knew a Michael Buble song, but we came up with that Journey song that we both know. So that was pretty cool. It was pretty surreal. I’m definitely crossing one thing off my bucket
list: singing with Adam DeVine.” DeVine was also asked to share advice for aspiring actors. “Move to L.A., and hopefully you get lucky and work really hard,” he said. “I just made a bunch of Internet videos with my friends, and somebody at Comedy Central was like, ‘These guys are good.’” Prior to DeVine’s set, Communication junior Alex Heller and Communication senior Mike Schultz performed their own stand-up routines. Heller shared her cost-effective alternatives to the common activities of her sorority sisters, including memberships at Evanston Athletic Club, eating lunch at Whole Foods and studying abroad. » See DEVINE, page 7
At a heated and tense meeting, City Council moved Tuesday night to end Evanston’s relationship with Community Animal Rescue Effort, ordering the organization to end its work at the city’s animal shelter. “To put the community through any more discussion on this topic would be cruel,” Ald. Mark Tendam (6th) said. Aldermen voted 4-2 to discontinue the city’s partnership with CARE. City manager Wally Bobkiewicz will work with CARE to vacate the shelter by May 9, as well as start the search for a volunteer organization to replace it. The vote follows a Human Services Committee meeting Monday night in which Ald. Delores Holmes (5th) and the other aldermen on the committee

recommended City Council cease negotiations to mend the relationship between the group and Evanston. Holmes said CARE’s unwillingness to communicate and compromise with council convinced her to vote against allowing the organization to remain in the shelter. “If they don’t want to negotiate, I don’t understand how we can make them do it,” she said. “We asked them several times.” Although many other actions appeared on council’s agenda, the » See COUNCIL, page 7

was transported to St. Francis in serious condition, according to police. A third victim, a 27-year-old man, walked into St. Francis Hospital with a gunshot wound to his collarbone, according to police. The man’s condition was stable, Sullivan said. The shooting took place near the Chicago-Evanston border in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood. A 22-year-old man was fatally shot last summer about a block north of the store where Gordon was killed Monday evening. Stephanie Sutton, who lives across the street from the store, said she heard eight shots during the shooting. She later learned the gunman was standing below her windows when he or she started firing. Recalling the aftermath of the shooting, Sutton said the glass door of the store was completely shattered, its windows were damaged to a lesser extent, shelves had fallen over and merchandise was “all over the place” inside the space. “Luckily, there were many other people standing in the shop who were physically unharmed,” Sutton said in an email to The Daily.

Students and community members nearly filled the Ryan Family Auditorium on Tuesday to attend The Veritas Forum’s panel discussion on the role of faith at a secular university. The three presenters included Williams College Prof. Satyan Devadoss, Northwestern philosophy Prof. Axel Mueller and University President Morton Schapiro. American studies Prof. William Haarlow moderated the discussion. Devadoss, a mathematics professor, was the main speaker of the night. He used his time during the event to explain his belief in Christianity. He critiqued modern religious studies and said that many Bible readers are only viewing the text as a scientific document. Rather, he said he believes the Bible and its message is meant to be seen from many angles. “I don’t believe in the Christian faith because it gives my life meaning or it’s emotionally satisfying,” Devadoss said. “I’m a mathematician.

have no emotions to satisfy. Faith best explains my deep questions. The beautiful mess that I see.” Many Christian audience members said they were very satisfied with what Devadoss had to say. Jens Notstad (McCormick ‘09), who works for Church of the Redeemer at NU and participated in planning the event, said he thought Devadoss was great in providing a cohesive backand-forth between panel members.
“Satyan has such a great story, diverse family background,” Notstad said. “He really is a unique individual in the academic arena. He was very engaging, honestly.” Schapiro, an observant Jew, followed by telling his own conviction of faith. Particularly, he said he was challenged by a Christian minister who
