SIGP receives record apps By Tyler Pager

daily senior staffer @tylerpager

Students submitted a record 411 applications for the Summer Internship Grant Program this year. The program, which accepted applications until Tuesday night, is in its ninth year of existence and provides financial aid for students pursuing unpaid summer internships. Due to increased funding from alumni and the administration, Mark Presnell, executive director of Northwestern Career Advancement, said the program

is projected to increase grant amounts by $500, totaling $3,000 per student this year. It also plans to provide more total grants. “Our goal is to fully meet need,” Presnell said. “Our hope this year is to make this a process that really dramatically increases the number of awards given out.” The program, originally organized by Associated Student Government, Northwestern Alumni Association, Undergraduate Financial Aid and NCA, continues to receive an increasing number of alumni donations, grants and gifts, in addition to funding from the administration.

The program aims to select students demonstrating sufficient financial need and interest in a certain career path to receive compensation for living costs that might otherwise make internship opportunities impossible. In order to apply, students submitted three essays focusing on their career interests, their potential internships and their financial need, in addition to a resume. “The one thing that makes the application fantastic is that you don’t need to have a certain internship in mind when you actually apply, which means that that » See SIGP, page 10

ASG ballot has coal referendum By Tyler pager

daily senior staffer @tylerpager

This year’s Associated Student Government ballot includes a referendum asking students whether they believe Northwestern should divest from coal companies. Fossil Free NU, which sponsored the referendum, is looking to gauge student interest on the issue. Formerly known as DivestNU, the group has been calling on the Board of Trustees to remove the University’s investments in coal companies since 2012. This is the first ASG referendum in at least five years, said Christina Cilento, ASG’s vice president for sustainability. “Climate change is affecting everyone and it’s just getting worse,” said Natalie Ward, the head of communication for Fossil Free NU. “A vote for divestment will show the administration and the Board of Trustees that we really should do something to positively affect climate change.” Both ASG Senate and Faculty Senate passed resolutions in support of divesting from coal in 2013, Cilento said. Fossil Free NU met with a trustee during Fall Quarter and had a productive meeting, according to Cilento, who is the group’s head of public relations. However, Cilento said there was no decision about how the trustees would proceed. She said divestment makes sense “financially and morally.”

The subject of next year’s selection for the One Book One Northwestern program is focused on the history of Native Americans, following a recommendation from the Native American Outreach and Inclusion Task Force. The task force released its report in November proposing a series of recommendations for NU to improve its relationship with Native American communities. The task force suggested NU select a book on genocide or colonialism for the One Book program. Next year’s book, “The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America” by Thomas King, examines the troubling relationship between whites and Native Americans throughout U.S. history. All incoming freshman students will receive a copy of the book, and there will be a series of programs next year centered around the book’s themes. “This is a very concrete step toward reconciliation, and it shows that this is something (administrators) are concerned about and is a priority of theirs,” said Forrest Bruce, co-president of the Native American and Indigenous Student Alliance. “It’s really important to preface a student’s time on campus with the fact that Northwestern has had a terrible relationship with indigenous people.” The SESP junior said NAISA was asked to give feedback on the book choice after the committee had narrowed it down to two books. The book takes an in-depth look at Native Americans’ experiences since

ROCK THE VOTE Students march to a Board of Trustees meeting in November to ask NU to divest from the coal industry. Students can voice their opinions on coal divestment through an ASG referendum on this year’s ballot.

“We want to renew the test and see if students on campus still care about this issue,” the Weinberg sophomore said. “If the vote is in our favor, it would really show that look our students really care about. That would kind of put pressure on the Board of Trustees.” The referendum, which needs a simple majority to pass, was added to the ballot because Fossil Free NU obtained the needed 200 signatures, said Dana Leinbach, ASG’s elections commissioner said. “I think it’s really exciting that there is a referendum happening,” the Weinberg senior said. “It hasn’t been utilized

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

in student government in a really long time.” Leinbach said only one referendum is allowed per quarter, and if this one passes, it is considered binding student opinion for two years. The results of the referendum will be posted on ASG’s website shortly after the polls close at 5 p.m. Students are also voting for ASG president and executive vice president. Weinberg junior Noah Star and McCormick junior Christina Kim are running against Medill junior Haley Hinkle and SESP junior Chris Harlow. tylerpager2017@u.northwestern.edu

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office is being sued by a Chicago activist who claims it refused to comply with his request for documents under the Freedom of Information Act. The lawsuit was filed Thursday against the state’s attorney’s office on behalf of Freddy Martinez, an activist concerned with privacy and First Amendment issues who has previously sued the Chicago Police Department for similar reasons, according to a news release from Loevy & Loevy, a civil rights law firm, the firm representing Martinez. “A culture of secrecy leads to abuse,” Martinez said in the news release. “This lawsuit is a step toward understanding how evidence is gathered and whether the means by which it was obtained is being kept from the accused and the public.” Martinez filed a FOIA request with the state’s attorney’s office Dec. 31 for documents pertaining to the use of “stingray” spying equipment, according to the news

their first contact with white settlers, looking at how Native Americans have been depicted in pop culture and attempts at cultural assimilation. It also looks at present-day issues such as violence, stereotypes and failed treaties. “The One Book committee came up with what they said was a great book that is really going to provoke great discussion,” University President Morton Schapiro told The Daily in March. “I’m looking forward to reading it.” Medill Prof. Loren Ghiglione, the faculty chair of next year’s program, described the book as “history with humor, passion, perceptive analysis.” “It will raise questions about American history as it is learned in schools, possibly suggest a different narrative about the colonial experience, settlers and American Indians,” he said. “I hope it will help diminish our ignorance about American Indian experience and contribute to a discussion that will go well beyond this year.” In 2013, NU formed the John Evans Study Committee to investigate the role Evans, one of the University’s founders, played in the Sand Creek Massacre. More than 100 Cheyenne and Arapaho people were killed in the massacre, which occurred in the Colorado Territory during Evans’ time as governor. The committee concluded Evans was not directly involved in the massacre, but the University ignored his moral failures both before and after Sand Creek. The task force, which was formed in April 2014, made more than 50 recommendations including » See ONE BOOK, page 10 release. Stingray technology allows local police to obtain information from the public through the use of fake cell phone towers, Martinez’s attorney, Matthew Topic, told The Daily. “I hadn’t heard about this type of technology up until about a year ago,” Topic said. “It’s become a lot more prominent as people learn that law enforcement can use it to listen to the content of phone conversations, look at call logs, force software onto the device and get identification on the user.” In response to Martinez’s FOIA request, which asked for records related to the presentation of evidence attained by stingray technology, the state’s attorney’s office said they did not have to look for the records because it would have been “unduly burdensome,” Topic said. “There is no way this outweighs public interest,” Topic said. “There has been huge interest in disclosure of these types of documents, especially with the history of illegal surveillance by the Chicago Police Department.” The state’s attorney’s office had not responded to requests for comment as of Thursday night. — Tori Latham

Chicago open mic series comes to Evanston By Joanne Lee

the daily northwestern @leehjoanne

Do Not Submit Chicago, a series of storytelling shows, is expanding its open mic nights across the Chicago area, including to an Evanston venue for this Sunday. Do Not Submit says it aims to provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where people can connect with one another by sharing personal stories or listening in the audience. Started in 2012 by Scott Whitehair as a single monthly open mic on the north side of Chicago, Do Not Submit ran for two years until it could no longer perform at the venue it was using. Now it is returning with the goal of expanding to different parts of Chicago. Do Not Submit will hold its first Evanston show April 12 at The Celtic Knot, and will hold subsequent shows at the pub the second Sunday of every month. “(Do Not Submit) hasn’t reached out to new people in different communities and neighborhoods so we’re attempting to have places all over the city where we can have a more diverse group of people involved and have it so they don’t have to travel far to be a part of it,” Whitehair said. The Evanston show will start at 6 p.m., but participants can show up at 5:30 p.m. to sign their names on a list. Those who share will have seven minutes to tell any story. Requiring no cover charge and no experience, Whitehair said he hopes to see people of all ages come and share their story. “You can share part of your life with other people who really want to hear what it’s been like for you,” Whitehair said. “It’s mainly about connection. It’s how we learn about each other. It’s how we understand each other.” The show will be co-hosted by Jim Herbert

and Melissa Perrin, who Whitehair said are the driving force behind these shows. Hosts create the supportive environment for people to feel comfortable sharing their stories, according to Whitehair. “I expect excellent stories,” Perrin said. “Excellent does not mean that they’re finished or that they’ve been perfectly crafted. It means folks have decided to take the risk to share something about themselves with the group.” Perrin said she hopes a lot of people, both storytellers and listeners, will attend the show. Herbert, similarly, said his gut feeling is there will be a good turnout for the first show because of the large platform of the hosts and producer You can of Do Not Submit. share part of “I’m really excited to see the foundation your life with built,” Herbert said. other people “Just getting everybody the chance to who really share what inspires want to hear them is powerful. what it’s been There’s no better way to spend an evening or like for you. an afternoon.” Scott Whitehair, Other shows will be Do Not Submit held in Chicago neighfounder borhoods, including Englewood, Woodlawn, Pilsen, Hyde Park, Ukrainian Village, Lakeview, Old Town and Rogers Park, and Brookfield, Illinois, with more locations to be added this summer. “I would love to see each one of these shows become a fixture in each community where it’s widely known that you can come here on this night and there will be people waiting to hear a little about your life,” Whitehair said.

Television stolen from Evanston home

Editor in Chief Sophia Bollag

www.dailynorthwestern.com

A 50-inch television was stolen from a central Evanston home early Saturday morning, police said. The 22-year-old man who owns the home in the 1100 block of Foster Street, woke up on the couch and observed a man inside his residence, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. He confronted the person and told him to leave the apartment, Dugan said. After returning inside he noticed the television missing, police said. There were no signs of forced entry into the home, Dugan added.

Park shelter defaced

Police discovered a defaced park shelter in north Evanston on Wednesday afternoon. The wall of one of the park shelters at Leahy Park in the 1100 block of Lincoln Street was covered in blue and black ink, Dugan said. The writing said “FhWEBSh helos,” and Dugan said he was unsure of what the graffiti meant. ­— Julian Gerez

Setting the record straight In “Comedian discusses catcalls for Sex Week event,” which ran in Wednesday’s print edition, the story incorrectly identified Michelle Lega’s year at Northwestern. Lega is a Weinberg senior. In “Orientation raises concerns,” which ran in the Feb. 3 print edition, the story incorrectly identified Steve Lillington’s position in Project Wildcat.

SES holds student advocacy committee kick-off By mariana Alfaro

the daily northwestern @marianaa_alfaro

The Center for Student Enrichment Services held a student advocacy committee kick-off meeting Thursday night in Scott Hall and discussed its new student committee, as well as plans for a common application to streamline application processes for scholarships. Created in Fall Quarter 2014, the office, which is housed within the Department of Campus Inclusion and Community, works to support first generation and low-income students. During the event, SES administrators encouraged students to join the student committee, which will help support the center in its efforts to create a safe space for Northwestern students who come from low-income backgrounds or are first-generation students. “We definitely want the students to feel like this is their opportunity to contribute, to have their voices heard, to feel like they have someone who’s representing them on campus,� Christine Mendoza, SES administrative assistant, told The Daily. “We want them to feel like there is leadership here on campus that’s supporting them and rooting for them.� Jacquelyn Lopez, a member of AmeriCorps

Cockrell said being a first-generation student has now become an identity that didn’t exist in the past, which is why NU, with the support of groups such as Quest Scholars Network, has started the new office. background. A&O told users to check the Snapchat Story on its Facebook page. The video also played AlunaGeorge’s “Supernatural,� hinting that the British duo might also perform. T-Pain is best-known for his collaborations with Jamie Foxx on “Blame It,� Kanye West on “Good Life� and Flo Rida on “Low.� The rapper has won two Grammys. Last year’s concert featured electro-funk group Chromeo as the headliner and Chicago rapper Vic Mensa as the opening act.

Cockrell told The Daily she expects to have the council running by Fall Quarter, although SES will hold more events this quarter. Cockrell said the center is planning to launch an application next fall called the Student Enrichment Services Common Application, which she compared to The Common Application for undergraduate college admission. The SES application will allow students to apply for stipends to cover student activity costs or group fees through a single application rather than having to apply to multiple scholarships for different expenses. “We’re working on something that’s going to streamline all of those opportunities (and) bring them all together under one online application so that students are able to know what’s available, have everything listed there, and be able to just apply one time,� she said. Since she joined the center in October 2014, Cockrell said she has received positive feedback from several members of the NU community. “I’ve had several students come in for oneon-one meetings,� she said. “I’ve had several members of (Associated Student Government) come in to think about how we can partner and work on more projects around inclusion, staff and faculty have been incredibly responsive.� marianaalfaro2018@u.northwestern.edu

Pike holds drunk driving event following death By Shane McKeon

the daily northwestern @Shane_McKeon

Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity hosted an event on drunken driving Thursday, just more than eight months after a member of the chapter died in a drunk driving accident. Mihirtej Boddupalli, who would have been a McCormick senior, was killed in a drunk driving accident in July after a car he was riding in crashed into a water-filled quarry in Naperville. The driver, a then-rising McCormick senior Michael Szot, escaped the car, but Boddupalli and rising Indiana University senior Sajaad Syed drowned. Northwestern told The Daily in September that Szot was no longer enrolled at the University. While at NU, Szot was a member of Pike. Pike hosted speaker Sarah Panzau-Evans to talk about her experience in a 2003 drunk driving accident, where she lost most of her left arm. She has since used the experience to encourage students to make better decisions concerning drinking and driving. More than 100 students attended the event. She said she was a star volleyball player in high school and played for a small, two-year college near her hometown. She eventually

dropped out and began bartending at 19, at which time, she said, partying and alcohol took over her life. “I was just like you guys not too long ago, sitting there thinking I had my entire life ahead of me, that this would never happen to me,â€? she said. “I’m sure most of you in here thought that once or twice ‌ but it does happen.â€? While Panzau-Evans said she takes responsibility for her actions that night, she points out that her friends let her “stumble out through that doorâ€? and drive. After the accident, she said, none of her friends visited her in the hospital. Her mother, though, the woman she had rebelled against as a teen, supported her most throughout her recovery. “I thought that woman woke up everyday to make me miserable,â€? she said. “And you know what? That woman never left my side.â€? Communication junior Daniel Goldberg, Pike’s philanthropy chair, helped organize the event. He said the chapter also sold cake pops to raise money for Students Against Destructive Decisions, a group that aims in part to prevent drunk driving among young people. He said a personal story like Panzau-Evans’ helps students to understand drunk driving beyond what they learned in middle and high school.

“A lot of the training on drunk driving we get in middle school and high school is through an academic environment,â€? he said. “It’s much more effective to get a personal story like Sarah’s.â€? McCormick senior Nikhil Byanna, a member of Pike and a friend of Boddupalli, opened the event and introduced Panzau-Evans. “Mihir was a great friend of all of ours, and being in college ‌ drunk driving isn’t something we necessarily think about all the time,â€? he said. “But as we grow up and graduate and move to the suburbs or places where it’s a lot more common, it’s something we’ll need to take a lot more seriously.â€? Much of the talk was emotional, with Panzau-Evans’ voice cracking at times. She said “not one dayâ€? of her life has been easy since the crash. “I never thought about the lifelong consequences,â€? she said. “I certainly never thought this would be the body I’d be trapped in for the rest of my life, either. Girls, you can only imagine.â€? However, she also spoke about things other than the accident. Panzau-Evans is recently wed and gushed about her new husband and stepchildren.

Y.O.U. expands to 3 additional Evanston/Skokie schools By Marissa page

the daily northwestern @marissahpage

Youth Organizations Umbrella, a youth development agency that runs after-school academic enrichment programs in eight Evanston/Skokie schools, has expanded to three new sites in the region. Y.O.U. began running focus groups at Evanston/ Skokie School District 65’s Walker Elementary School and Skokie/Morton Grove School District 69’s Edison Elementary School and Skokie School District 68’s Old Orchard Junior High School in January, officially instating programs at the schools

in March. The funding for the programs came from an Illinois State Board of Education grant and private donors. “We identified these schools as having a few attributes that matter to us,� said Seth Green, Y.O.U.’s executive director. “One is great leadership, in terms of the principals and the school districts, and a real belief in community-school partnerships. Two is they have very real need, and three is we believe that our core model of service would be highly effective in addressing that need.� After-school programming, which typically begins right after students get out of school, encompasses “academic, emotional and socialemotional learning,� Green said.

Y.O.U. students take electives focused on topics including the arts, science, technology, engineering, mathematics and recreation and fitness. They also receive life skills training and academic tutoring from site-assigned staffers, peers and college students, many who come from Northwestern. Programming usually extends until about 6 p.m. “We try to understand each child’s unique strengths and stresses, and we will then offer programming based on those needs,� Green said. Maria Rassiwalla, director of Evanston afterschool programs for Y.O.U., said the sites would take time and experience to develop. “These are such new sites, they’ve only really been up and running for a few weeks,� she said. “We’re still undergoing an assessment period, and

Alumni to lead new postgrad prep program By MADELINE FOX

Ask a Northwestern student what they do on campus and they will often launch into a long list of clubs and extracurriculars. But ask that student what they see themselves doing in five or 10 years, and the answer does not usually come as easily. A new program for students in the School of Education and Social Policy aims to help students answer that question. Project Pause, the brainchild of two SESP alumni, is a weeklong retreat for rising seniors that combines service with reflection and leadership development programming. “It’s a week for (SESP seniors) to reflect back on all their experiences, to slow down and see how far they’ve come in the past years,” said Kate McKenzie (SESP ’13), who co-pitched and will co-lead the program with fellow 2013 alumnus Fred Tye. “We hope it’ll help with figuring out what they want to do with their life and feeling better equipped to graduate.” The weeklong retreat, which will pilot with six students in September, will emphasize “going slow to go fast,” or having students take time to think about who they are and what they want to do after graduation, Tye said. Students will follow a curriculum based on the role that self-awareness, mindfulness and emotional intelligence play in leadership development. McKenzie and Tye, who both work at “Big Four” consulting firms, came up with the idea for Project Pause from their own conversations after graduation. “Being able to reflect with each other is something we’ve both really benefited from,” Tye said. “We talked more and more about experiences we had in school that we could have benefited from if we’d had some sort of experience to talk to our peers and our professors about what the real world looked like, so we came up with the idea in the more structured format of a program and we pitched it

to SESP.” Tye and McKenzie reached out to their former SESP counselor, Megan Redfearn, who helped them pitch it to the SESP dean. “I talked to alumni who come back after college and say, ‘I wish I’d had time to think more about some of the other options available to me,’ and I meet with a lot of students who are just like ‘I’m not sure what I want to do next,’” said Redfearn, an adviser for the Learning and Organizational Change program. “There are so many great and productive ways for students to use their We hope it’ll time that reflection help with and that personal vulnerability piece often figuring out get pushed to the side what they want in favor of more immeto do with their diate things.” The SESP alumni life. also drew from their experience co-leading Kate McKenzie, an Alternative Spring Project Pause Break trip to Mission: leader Wolf, a nonprofit wolf sanctuary two hours south of Colorado Springs where Project Pause will take place. “Mission: Wolf is acting as a really rich learning environment for the themes we want to talk about with the students,” McKenzie said. “A lot of the camp day will be learning about Mission: Wolf — using that to echo that it’s a place where you have to slow down, because you can’t use technology and electricity is pretty scarce.” Although the program is starting with a small group of SESP students, McKenzie said they hope to be able to grow it in the future. “Our goal right now is just to do this camp as best we can, but the things we’re teaching and the concepts we’re focusing on are things anyone can benefit from — ideally it’s something more than just six SESP students can do,” McKenzie said.

Seeking help after rape in face of unforgiving culture This essay is part of The Spectrum, a weekly forum in our Opinion section for marginalized voices to share their perspectives. To submit a piece for The Spectrum or discuss story ideas, please email spectrum@dailynorthwestern.com. When I was 17, I was raped by a boy in my biology class. It happened at a football game. A football game. This was two years ago, but I only started getting help this winter. I had told my mom a few months after it happened because I spent the previous night shaking in my bedroom, sleepless and cold. So cold. I told her and she was silent for a long moment. Then she said, “Wow, he must’ve been abused too, to have done this to you.” I don’t think she knew what to say to her son who told her he had been raped. I know she knew what she was supposed to say: “I believe you. It’s not your fault. I’m here if you need me.” As a survivor, I am telling you to say these things. But she did not say these things. She said, “Oh, something really terrible must’ve happened to that guy for him to do that to you.” If you ever find yourself in my mother’s situation, please don’t say that. That is not the kind of empathy I needed in that moment. “It’s not your fault. I believe you. I’m here for you, whatever you need.”

That is all I wanted. That is not what I got. I think a large part of why she reacted so poorly is because male rape is not really well covered in sexual assault prevention. I wonder how many of you didn’t realize I am a man until that last sentence, or even this one. Male rape is even more underreported than female rape, and with good reason. Our society demands that its men be in control, in general and particularly in the bedroom. Being taken advantage of in this way is emasculation to the extreme. I can say from personal experience that people in our society don’t really believe men can be raped. The only male survivor I have ever heard of is Shia LaBeouf. LaBeouf was raped at his own art exhibit (in which he allowed fans to view him while he wore a bag over his head which read “I Am Not Famous Anymore”) at a time when popular media was constantly criticizing him for his peculiar behavior. Shia LaBeouf is the only other person I have heard of in my years of looking, my years of hunting for someone who has shared my experience. Anyone who could show me that there is a way out, that there is a way to live life beyond just “surviving.” Anyone. There is only Shia LaBeouf, only one man visible. And he was raped a year and a half

after I was. About a month ago, I told a couple of my friends about Shia LaBeouf. They do not know I am a survivor; he just came up in conversation. I mentioned he was raped and one of my friends started victim blaming. “But he’s like 6 feet 4 inches. 200 If there is one pounds.” I began thing I want to defending LaBeouf in slightly harsh terms accomplish — I still find it diffiwith this article, cult to separate myself the emotions of it is to show my from the situation — and fellow survivors the debate began. It what everyone ran for a few minutes while another of my tells you: It does friends (a self-proclaimed feminist with get better. generally forward social ideas) sat in silence. I turned to her for help against my friend’s victim blaming, and she legitimized his ignorance with, “Well neither of you know what it’s like, so…” I was destroyed. I sat quietly for a long time, wanting to say something, not wanting

“

to say something. Trying not to be suspicious. But I didn’t dare say anything, for fear of having the same line of questioning brought upon me. It has been a long road to get to where I am, and it has been bereft of a role model. If there is one thing I want to accomplish with this article, it is to show my fellow survivors what everyone tells you: it does get better. Life has given me a distance and a strength to deal with this in ways I could never have imagined. It has not been without pain, but that was never really possible. It has been and will be incredibly difficult, but I can already see myself developing the wisdom and the will to move past this. I am still early in recovery, having been in therapy only a few weeks, but I see a hope that was not in me three months ago. A hope to be not just a survivor, but an advocate. A hope that someday I’ll even be ready to put my name to This. Someday. The author of this story is a McCormick sophomore who would like to remain anonymous.

Low voting numbers mean your vote actually matters Noah kane

Daily columnist

Between 2008 and 2012, voter turnout in the U.S. presidential election fell about 3 percentage points to 58 percent, a figure that represents an uninspiring majority of Americans. To be fair, many Americans — particularly people of color — continue to face legal restrictions on their ability to vote; a June 2013 Supreme Court decision allowed states more leeway to enact discriminatory voting policies by circumventing a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. Other Americans simply feel that their vote is irrelevant, or have no strong preference between the two major U.S. political parties. Voter turnout for the Associated Student Government elections at Northwestern is even more dismal. Last year, approximately 20 percent of NU’s undergraduates cast a ballot in the ASG election — totaling about 1,800 students. Those who voted had to undergo the arduous process of opening an

online ballot, signing in with their NU NetID and filling out a few multiple-choice questions — an act that likely took no more than five minutes. In the same year, a similar number of students (more than 1,500) participated in Northwestern University Dance Marathon, a choice that required them to pay a registration fee, raise $400 and dance for 30 hours in an enclosed space so rancid that sweat rained from the ceiling. It’s also worth noting that Dance Marathon recently came under fire for being racially and socioeconomically exclusive because of the implicit and explicit restrictions these requirements place on some NU students. Why are NU students so unwilling to vote in the ASG election? I don’t have the data to conclusively answer that question, although after four years at this school I can certainly make some educated guesses. But on a practical level, one thing is clear: Every vote actually matters. Voting for an ASG presidential candidate likely has more of an impact on the outcome of the election than any voting decision most NU students will ever face. ASG’s annual wholesale assault on students’ social media profiles — the campaign

period — is in full swing. It’s almost impossible to ignore the fact that the election is happening, and that’s because campaign teams are aware of the simple, mathematical fact that securing the vote of 200 students is

“

So long as ASG only has to answer to 20 percent of students, criticisms that it does not represent the majority of students will persist.

the same as capturing more than 10 percent of the electorate. Your newsfeed is spammed because your newsfeed actually matters to candidates. In 2014, the majority of voters in the ASG election — a disproportionately high amount — were involved in Greek life (in the aggregate, 40 percent of students go Greek). It stands to reason that any community that can reliably mobilize groups of 50 or more people in favor of a particular candidate has high incentives to do so. Greek life is one

SafeRide, Uber should partner for convenience LUcas Matney

Daily columnist

Over Spring Break, I spent a few days basking in the sun at the University of Southern California. I was intrigued when I heard from students about a pilot program the university just began with Uber to supplement its SafeRide-equivalent service, which provided free Uber rides to reduce the wait times at peak hours. The program already shows promise with wait times for students declining and services gaining increased visibility on campus. SafeRide made a number of changes in the past few years to improve usability, but is also limited by the logistics of meeting high student demand. If Northwestern can follow the models pursued by other schools like USC to push overflow traffic on campus to a ride-sharing program, students will enjoy unprecedented convenience without the school having to make major infrastructure investments. SafeRide’s mission is not one necessarily focused on student convenience. The program’s website emphasizes that the service “is not a taxi,” and

instead bills itself as “a safe and free alternative to walking alone after dark.” However, when students are tasked with getting back to their apartments from off-campus parties, many find SafeRide leaves them in the dark: their policy does not fulfill rides from one off-campus location to another. And when users attempt to use the service during its peak hours on weekends, they are often left waiting for an hour or longer, at which point they may either pay for a taxi themselves, or, if that’s not a viable option, walk home alone at night. After discontinuing rides between off-campus locations at the beginning of Spring Quarter 2014, SafeRide faced a great deal of student backlash and protest through an online petition that garnered nearly 600 signatures. What followed was a confusing debate on whether SafeRide was in danger of a shutdown because of Evanston’s taxi ordinance, something Evanston officials denied. Traveling between off-campus locations needs to be a feature returned to SafeRide because the service’s mission isn’t really fulfilled otherwise. Students who live off campus are left with insufficient options for getting around. Partnership to subsidize or provide free rides with Uber during times when SafeRides are in high demand could expand the reach of the student affairs service. The current average wait time for getting a SafeRide on campus is 35 minutes according to the

service’s website. This isn’t too bad — the site also details that SafeRide transports an average of 330 students per night, and indicates that the service is sufficiently equipped for their weekday traffic under current policies. It’s the heightened traffic during peak hours on the weekend that necessitates changes from SafeRide. By partnering with an existing ride-sharing service, NU can avoid hiring more drivers and purchasing more vehicles that are needed only during peak hours on weekends. The move may also allow SafeRide the flexibility to return to allowing trips between off-campus locations in the future. SafeRide has a slew of issues to deal with in providing a safe service to NU students, but providing timely rides to students traveling in the university area is central to their mission statement. A partnership with Uber may be the most effective way to serve students’ needs without making even more major investments in infrastructure for the already rapidly evolving SafeRide service. It’s a lofty goal, but without making changes, the University invites future problems for students’ off-campus safety. Lucas Matney is a Medill junior.

example, but campus communities long on membership and short on influence in ASG have the potential to issue a powerful mandate for ASG to do something about that lack of influence. My goal here is not to convince you to vote if you truly do not want to. There are plenty of reasons to be disenchanted with ASG — and this is coming from a former Executive Board member. But understand that if you do choose to vote, your decision will in no small way be reflected in the result. Five minutes is a short time, and I firmly believe that many of the nearly 7,000 students who did not vote last year had five minutes to spend helping pressure ASG toward being more accountable to the student body. So long as ASG only has to answer to 20 percent of students, criticisms that it does not represent the majority of students will persist — not just because they are valid but because they are empirically verifiable. It’s time we changed that. Noah Kane is a Weinberg senior. He can be reached at noahkane2015@u.northwestern.edu.

Healthy restaurant Freshii to open soon in city By Paige Leskin daily staffer @paigeleskin

The cluster of high-rise office and residential buildings in downtown Evanston sold David Grossman on the idea that the city would be an ideal location in which to expand his franchise of healthy dining restaurants. Grossman said he is set to open Freshii in about two weeks at 1596 Sherman Ave., the space once inhabited by Argo Tea, which closed in the summer of 2014. The restaurant is aimed at affordable dining, using a variety of fresh ingredients to create salads, quinoa bowls, wraps and soups, according to the website. “We want to give people healthy food at a fast pace,” Grossman said.

Across Campuses North Texas students petition for a speaker other than Texas Gov. Abbott

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will speak at the University of North Texas graduation next month even though some students promise to boycott their own commencement ceremony if he gives the keynote address. More than 2,000 students have signed an online petition asking UNT officials to choose a different speaker for their May ceremony. “While Governor Abbott’s story is inspirational, his views on inequality cannot be overshadowed by this,” the petition states. “Our Mean Green Pride comes from being heard and respected. Which is why we ask University President Neal Smatresk to find a new keynote speaker for graduation.” Smatresk said he’s not changing speakers and he’s excited that the state’s 48th governor will speak at the ceremony. “He’s a new governor, he’s supportive of higher education,” said Smatresk, who became UNT’s president last year. “Why wouldn’t we want to celebrate the success of our institution in its 125th year with him? “I feel it’s a great way to celebrate.” Despite the controversy swirling around his appearance — most via social media — Abbott, a Republican, plans to honor his commitment. “Gov. Abbott is honored to accept the invitation to address the University of North Texas’ commencement, and he looks forward to recognizing the great work UNT is doing to elevate Texas’ higher education system, as well as the contributions that the UNT Class of 2015 will make to build a better

The Evanston location, which will be Grossman’s 19th Freshii franchise in the Chicago area, will be owned and operated by Edward Franke — whose ties to the city include a grandfather who served as Evanston’s chief of police. But Grossman said he was drawn to Evanston for its Chicago-like “urban feel” and vibrant community. “We like the central business district, the fluency in the neighborhood,” he said. “We think that college kids, workers and healthy people will flock to Freshii.” Grossman drew parallels between the cuisine at Freshii and existing Evanston restaurant Blind Faith Cafe, 525 Dempster St. The restaurant, which has been around since 1979, has long offered vegan and gluten-free food to attract residents with those diets — the same demographic Freshii is looking to draw in, Grossman said.

Paul Zalmezak, the city’s economic development coordinator, said the combination of NU students and daytime office workers would make Freshii a popular place to eat. “There’s a market up here of people who

future for Texas,” said Amelia Chasse, press secretary for the governor. Students have said they oppose Abbott for reasons ranging from his opposition to gay marriage to his opposition to Denton’s ban on hydraulic fracturing in city limits. “College students are young adults with passion, and they often express it as a challenge to authority,” said Jim Riddlesperger, a political science professor at Texas Christian University. “It isn’t terribly surprising to see this come in Denton, where the anti-fracking ordinance has already galvanized feelings. “And, of course, it shows in some ways the increasing partisan polarization in our society where elections seem never truly to be over.” The UNT graduation is scheduled for May 16 at Apogee Stadium. Texas universities have been announcing their commencement speakers, with retired Gen. Colin Powell speaking at Rice University; Ford Foundation President Darren Walker talking at the University of Texas, Austin; former President George W. Bush speaking at Southern Methodist University in Dallas; and actor Matthew McConaughey talking at the University of Houston. Smatresk announced earlier this month that Abbott would deliver the address at UNT’s first university-wide graduation ceremony, honoring students who completed their degrees at any point through the 2014-2015 school year. “I would love to show him all the wonderful things that are going on at our incredibly diverse campus,” Smatresk said. “When you engage the governor in a dialogue about higher education, higher education wins.” He said he’s not surprised by the student reaction, which has been mostly negative on social media

sites such as Facebook and Twitter, but he notes that he has personally heard from “quite a few” students who are excited Abbott is coming to campus. “One of the things we are proud of is that we have truly engaged students,” Smatresk said. “They are passionate, they care. Certainly we have students who want to make their opinions known. “They are the future leaders of the world.” After the announcement, a new page on Facebook — Abbott Free UNT — was created, urging students upset about the governor’s presence to protest by walking out of the ceremony once he takes the stage. And a firestorm of comments have been posted on the UNT Facebook page, many opposed to Abbott being the speaker. “You have failed your students, UNT,” wrote Emily Eells, a member of the UNT College Democrats. “We hosted one of the largest college campus rally’s for Wendy Davis in the fall. How on EARTH did you think Greg Abbott was an appropriate speaker for commencement?” Abbott and Davis, a former Fort Worth state senator, went head-to-head in the November general election, each hoping to become the next governor of Texas. Abbott handily won, claiming 59 percent of the vote to Davis’s nearly 39 percent. “I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that I will not be attending my commencement ceremony this semester due to this poor choice in speaker,” Eells said. “As an alumni, this is a disappointing choice,” wrote Scott Davis. “Instead of somebody that represents such a partisan and narrow world view, it would be better to have somebody that can speak to all of the students.” James Thomason said he won’t attend the graduation.

“

We like the central business district, the fluency in the neighborhood. David Grossman, Freshii franchise owner

really care about healthy foods so this is a great addition to the marketplace,” Zalmezak said. “We’re happy they’re opening.” The menu is easily customizable and food will be accompanied by fresh juices and smoothies,

Grossman said. While minimal seating will be available inside, Grossman said he plans to have more than 40 seats and umbrellas outside of the store to allow customers to enjoy Chicago weather. Freshii first signed a lease for the Sherman Avenue space just a few weeks after Argo Tea closed, property owner Rick Horn told The Daily in August. With construction finishing any day, Freshii will have to pass a final inspection before opening, Grossman said. He will use three days prior to opening to train employees — some he said he hopes will be NU students. In addition to its Chicago-area locations, Freshii has franchises in more than 60 cities and 12 countries around the world, according to its site. pl@u.northwestern.edu “He’s a more cunning evil than Perry ever was,” he wrote. “God help Texas (if it isn’t too late already).” And John Barnes, a 1968 UNT graduate, said he is “disgusted” by the university’s choice. “You have insulted every minority, LGBT, poor, and physically challenged person within the UNT system. NTSU/UNT has a long, proud history of challenging the status quo. This choice reduces UNT to a tea party mouthpiece. How in the hell can you be proud of this choice? Shame on you.” Hailey Carlson is graduating in May but she wasn’t planning on going to the ceremony until she learned about the petition. Now she’s going to show support for the governor. “I think it’s very disrespectful to petition or walk out,” said Carlson, 22, who heads the Young Conservatives of Texas at UNT group and will graduate with a psychology degree. “I wasn’t surprised though because our campus is primarily made up of liberal students. “I know they do not like his views. They were all big supporters of Wendy Davis.” So she plans to show her support with her presence. UNT alumni Ron Ellis believes college leaders made a good choice. “Glad to see my old school occasionally has some good news,” he wrote. “He has my full support. Thanks for having him!!!” Smatresk said he appreciates the petition and the sentiment behind the protests, but they won’t change his mind. “We are not changing speakers,” he said. “We have the governor and we are happy.” — Anna M.

BOUNDLESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGINEERING TALENT IN A GLOBAL WORLD

“ALMOST 15 YEARS AGO, I GAVE A SPEECH TITLED “ENGINEERING: THE LIBERATING DISCIPLINE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY.â€? At the time, it reflected my belief, maybe naĂŻve, that an engineering education can empower people and prepare them for life as well as a more classical liberal education. Since then, my experiences in different academic—Caltech and Georgia Tech, and industry environments have reinforced my conviction that this facetious title does in fact reflect today’s reality. In an international and networked environment, professional and personal opportunities for top engineering and scientific talent are global and boundless. Furthermore, the contributions of top talent extend beyond engineering and science. +Y 1LHU 3V\ *OHTLH\ [VVR VŃ?JL HZ 7YLZPKLU[ VM 2PUN (IK\SSHO <UP]LYZP[` VM :JPLUJL ;LJOUVSVN` 2(<:; PU :H\KP (YHIPH VU 1\S` 7YPVY [V [OPZ OL ZLY]LK HZ 7YLZPKLU[ VM *HSPMVYUPH 0UZ[P[\[L VM ;LJOUVSVN` *HS[LJO PU [OL <UP[LK :[H[LZ (M[LY YLJLP]PUN OPZ 7O+ PU JP]PS LUNPULLYPUN MYVT :[HUMVYK <UP]LYZP[` OL SLK H KPZ[PUN\PZOLK JHYLLY HZ H WYVMLZZVY HUK HKTPUPZ[YH[VY H[ 7\YK\L <UP]LYZP[` HUK .LVYNPH 0UZ[P[\[L VM ;LJOUVSVN` /L [OLU ZLY]LK HZ WYLZPKLU[ VM .VSKLY (ZZVJPH[LZ H NLV[LJOUPJHS JVUZ\S[PUN JVTWHU` ILMVYL YL[\YUPUN [V .LVYNPH ;LJO ^OLYL OL ILJHTL KLHU VM P[Z JVSSLNL VM LUNPULLYPUN HUK [OLU 7YV]VZ[ +Y *OHTLH\ OHZ YLJLP]LK U\TLYV\Z H^HYKZ MVY OPZ V\[Z[HUKPUN JVU[YPI\[PVUZ HZ HU LK\JH[VY HUK \UP]LYZP[` SLHKLY

SIGP

From page 1 part of the application process is not stressful for you,” said Communication junior Amanda Walsh. Walsh, who received a SIGP grant last year to pursue an internship at a nonprofit company called Designs for Dignity, was allowed to submit an application to the program for a second time this year after a rule change that now allows students to potentially receive SIGP grants multiple times. “For students who are going into a certain kind of career path, they may have multiple unpaid internships, so we removed that restriction this year as well,” Presnell said. Application numbers for the program have steadily

National News Police shooting shows need for major changes, advocates say

COLUMBIA, S.C. — There would have been no charges filed against a North Charleston, S.C., police officer this week without a video shot by a witness, many, including the mayor of North Charleston, are saying. Video brings more accountability, and that’s why some South Carolina state lawmakers will be pushing hard next week to pass a bill requiring all law enforcement officers to wear body cameras. But proposals beyond the body cameras are needed to ensure police accountability, some say. They say: — State law should require that the State Law

Our hope this year is to make this a process that dramatically increases the number of awards. Mark Presnell, NCA executive director

increased since it started in 2007, when 90 applications were received and 10 grants were provided. In 2014, 287 applications were submitted and 70 grants were provided. Grants were originally $2,000, and were increased to $2,500 dollars in 2011. Selected students will receive $3,000 this year. Enforcement Division, as an outside agency, investigate each time an officer fires a weapon in South Carolina. — All police agencies should be required by law to collect racial profiling data and turn that over to SLED, as a previous state law intended. The body camera bill will get a hearing in the state Senate as soon as next week and quickly move on from there, a key senator said Wednesday. The bill, introduced in December by Sen. Gerald Malloy, D-Darlington, already has had three hearings this year in a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee chaired by Sen. Brad Hutto, D-Orangeburg. Hutto said he hopes his committee soon will pass the bill out to the full Judiciary Committee, which could consider it later this month. In his subcommittee’s three hearings on body

Eugene Lowe Jr., the chair of the One Book selection committee, said he was concerned the reports from both the study committee and the task force would just sit in filing cabinets. “The committee saw this book as a way to reinforce the attention and continue to provide an opportunity to learn about this very difficult dimension of American history,” Lowe said.

cameras, Hutto said, most witnesses — including many from the state’s law enforcement community — expressed overwhelming support for using cameras. Concerns, raised by victims advocate groups and others, include privacy and Freedom of Information request issues, as well as costs of the cameras and data storage, Hutto said. A revenue impact study done for Malloy’s bill estimates it would cost some $21 million to equip most state and local law officers with body cameras the first year, and $12 million per year after that. Malloy said any costs of body cameras should be balanced with the costs of unnecessary police shootings, follow up investigations and bad publicity for South Carolina — such as Wednesday’s New York Times front-page photographs from the video of a North Charleston officer shooting a man in the

back as he runs away. Body cameras will act as a deterrent and might well have prevented the North Charleston shooting, Malloy said. “If that officer in North Charleston had been wearing a body camera, I don’t think he draws the weapon,” he said. “We know that body cameras work. Good police officers don’t really mind,” Malloy said. “Complaints go down from citizens, and officers can use the videos for training.” Hutto is enthusiastic. Law officers who testified “before our committee thought it was a great idea. It helps gather evidence, it’s great for community relations, it’s good for officer safety, and it acts as a deterrent to bad conduct on the part of both officers and citizens alike,” he said.

Presnell said the grant size was primarily increased to allow students living in major cities to pay for climbing rent, food and transportation costs. Weinberg freshman Jonathan Wrobel, pursuing a SIGP grant to fund his Washington, D.C.-based summer internship at digital security organization CommunityRED, praised the change. “The university is headed in the right direction with this program,” Wrobel said. “I’m really grateful for the opportunity that the university provides funding for internships in traditionally non-paid fields so students don’t feel pressured to pursue interests that are not aligned with their career goals.” Grant recipients will be announced mid-May.

Spring Sports: Going Strong

Photos by Sean Su and Lauren Duquette/The Daily Northwestern

The softball and women’s lacrosse teams have been taking care of business this year. Led by junior pitcher Kristen Wood, the softball team has started off the conference season undefeated, going 8-0, with a big series coming up against No. 11 Minnesota. Lacrosse has powered through a tough schedule and has gone 4-3 against top 25 teams en route to an 8-3 start to the season.

NU stumbles against ranked Yellow Jackets No. 23 Northwestern

No. 35 Georgia Tech

Northwestern never found its footing in a midweek match on the road. The No. 23 Wildcats (10-6, 5-2 Big Ten) were stumped by the No. 35 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (10-7, 6-4 ACC) in Atlanta, losing the doubles point and dropping the match 5-2. Senior Lok Sze Leung and freshman Alex Chatt won the only two points for the Cats in their respective singles matches. Leung cruised past opponent Kendal Woodard in two sets, while Chatt battled Georgia Tech’s Alexa Anton-Ohlmeyer into an extra set and won 10-8. NU’s other four singles players — junior Alicia Barnett, sophomore Brooke Rischbieth and freshmen Rheeya Doshi and Erin Larner — each lost their matches in two sets. Only Larner and Doshi had sets closer than 6-3. The Cats’ doubles pairs didn’t fare much better. The No. 70 pairing of Doshi and Rischbieth won the only doubles match for NU, 8-4, over the Yellow Jackets’ Alexis Prokopuik and Anton-Ohlmeyer. No. 39 Barnett and Larner fell to No. 17 Woodard and Paige Hourigan, and Chatt and Leung couldn’t hold their ground against Rasheeda McAdoo and Johnnise Renaud. The team will stay on the road this weekend for conference matches with No. 61 Minnesota and Wisconsin before returning home to wrap up the regular season against Iowa and Nebraska. bpillote@u.northwestern.edu

First place Cats head to Minnesota for series Northwestern vs. No. 11 Minnesota

By MAX GELMAN

the daily northwestern @MaxGelman

Minneapolis, Minn. 6 p.m. Friday

Following the rainout of a midweek matchup against the University of Illinois-Chicago on Wednesday, Northwestern (20-11, 8-0 Big Ten) will set off for Minneapolis with its undefeated conference record on the line. This weekend, the Wildcats face off against No. 11 Minnesota (30-7, 6-3) in a three game series. NU is looking to remain atop the Big Ten conference standings, as it’s the only remaining undefeated team. The Golden Gophers currently sit in fifth place after recently dropping two out of three games to Michigan last weekend. Much of the Cats’ success this season has come on the heels of their high-powered offense. NU is averaging 9 runs per game in Big Ten play

and has outscored their opponents 72-20. However, the Cats are not the only team in the conference with a dynamic offense. Big Ten teams have scored an average of 7.6 runs per game in conference contests, and Minnesota averages 6.8. Junior Kristen Wood, who won Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors for her performances against Purdue last weekend, leads the conference with a 1.32 ERA in Big Ten games, and will try to curb the Gophers’ offensive output this weekend. The first game of the series begins at 6 p.m. Friday at the Jane Sage Cowles Stadium. maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats head east for matchups By AVA WALLACE

daily senior staffer @AvaRWallace

Entering the last third of the regular season, Northwestern is sitting pretty, at least according to coach Kelly Amonte Hiller and senior attacker Kara Mupo. The No. 5 Wildcats (8-3, 1-1 Big Ten) face Rutgers (1-12, 0-2) on Friday night in Piscataway, New Jersey before taking a short bus ride to New York for No. 9 Stony Brook (11-1) on Sunday. The turnaround on a two-game weekend is tough, especially when traveling. But after surviving a physically and mentally grueling mid-season, one that started over Spring Break and included contests against three top-10 teams, a crushing loss to No. 1 Maryland and the Wildcats’ first conference win, Mupo said team morale is high. “This is the heat of the season, we’re at the halfway point where you can either hit the wall or keep moving forward. I think it’s the great teams that keep moving forward,” Mupo said. “So, after a loss like (Maryland) in conference, we’ve got more fuel than ever.” History proves Mupo right. By now, the more experienced Cats such as Mupo, junior midfielder Kaleigh Craig and senior goalkeeper Bridget Bianco are used to seeing a record akin to 8-3 at this point in the season. For the past few years the Cats have suffered a tough loss toward the end of their schedule only to rebound and win out the rest of the regular season. Freshman Shelby Fredericks said NU doesn’t plan to break tradition this year. “A lot of people are talking about Maryland, but I don’t think that’s really indicative of what we’re capable of doing,

No. 5 Northwestern vs. No. 9 Stony Brook Stony Brook, N.Y. 11 a.m. Saturday

and I think that’s how everyone on the team felt,” Fredericks said. “We were just like, ‘Let’s make Maryland a fluke, let’s not keep that consistent.’ If we win every game from here on out people are going to stop talking. We’ll see them again, we’ll get them.” Of course, despite winning the last leg of the regular season, the Cats haven’t won a national championship since 2012. Still, it’s the kind of track record that instills confidence even in the team’s youngest players and makes Amonte Hiller’s strategic scheduling seem logical. “Hopefully the schedule is going to pay dividends for us as we grow,” Amonte Hiller said. “We’ve had a lot of challenges, and with each game we’re going to get better and better.” NU sits fourth in the Big Ten behind Maryland, Penn State and Ohio State. The latter two have yet to face the Terrapins — the only team in the nation with a perfect record — so with only five games before the Big Ten Tournament starts up, the Cats have a good chance at the No. 2 seed. Despite not having faced Rutgers since 2009, the struggling Scarlet Knights shouldn’t give the Cats too much trouble Friday. It’s the Sunday matchup that could get dicey. Leading scorer freshman Selena Lasota will pilot NU’s attack against one of the best defenses in the nation in Stony Brook. The Seawolves’ zone-hybrid defense isn’t unfamiliar to the Cats, but Stony Brook runs it more efficiently

than almost anyone else, allowing opponents on average fewer than five goals per game. Lasota, meanwhile, still sits at No. 3 in the nation in goals per game with 42 through 12 contests. She earned her third Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor after NU’s two wins against Michigan and Penn.

NU hosts pair of Big Ten opponents By KHADRICE ROLLINS

the daily northwestern @KhadriceRollins

Northwestern is entering the final stretch of the season and will host its final two home matches of the year this weekend. The No. 26 Wildcats (16-7, 5-2 Big Ten) welcome conference foes No. 72 Iowa (12-6, 4-3) and Nebraska (10-9, 3-4). “I think we feel good,” coach Arvid Swan said. “We’ve been playing good doubles, which has been good to see the last few weeks so we’ll be looking for that to continue.” Last weekend, the Cats’ doubles helped propel them to two road victories by taking care of business early. NU won the doubles point in both matches and was not forced to finish the third doubles match in either competition. The Cats have won the doubles point in each of their last four matches, which has contributed to the team’s four-match winning streak. Although the doubles point is a big boost for NU on the scoreboard, it can also mean a lot more than that. For players that participate in both doubles and singles, helping the team win the doubles point can help the players get into a positive state

of mind going into their singles matches. “It definitely helps mentally going from a doubles (match) if you get a win going to singles,” sophomore Sam Shropshire said. “You’re just a little bit happier and all that stuff, but it’s definitely been helping the team doing well in doubles.” Last season, the Cats won the doubles point in each of their two matches with Iowa, but lost it when they faced off against Nebraska. If NU wants a strong finish to its conference season, picking up the doubles point could go a long way in both of these upcoming matches. “Doubles is important,” Swan said. “If you don’t win the doubles point, you have to try to get four. But the way we’ve been playing, I’ve been really pleased with the progress. … This past weekend was probably our best doubles that we played all year.” The Cats are sitting fourth in the Big Ten, and are just one game behind Minnesota and Ohio State, who are tied for second. Two wins for NU this weekend could put them in a better position for

the conference tournament at the end of this month. The Cats were originally scheduled to take on Detroit this weekend as well, but poor weather conditions caused problems for Nebraska’s travel arrangements, resulting in the cancellation of the matchup with the Titans. The match with the Cornhuskers was also moved from Friday to Saturday. With the removal of the Detroit game from the schedule, NU has only four matches left in the season, all against Big Ten competition. The Cats are in great position to finish in the top four in the conference, but Swan is not concerned about where NU sits in the conference standings just yet. “It doesn’t matter until the end of the year,” Swan said. “You got to try to win each match that is ahead of you. The Big Ten is tough, every team is good.” Although the Big Ten schedule forces the Cats to take on some great competition, they are riding a hot streak and have confidence going into the weekend. “I feel good,” sophomore Strong Kirchheimer said. “I think everyone is starting to really click and we’ll just take it one match at a time and see how it goes.”
