Countdown to Dillo Day

Mayfest halts giving guest wristbands

Guest wristband distribution for Dillo Day has been suspended, Mayfest announced Wednesday afternoon.

Mayfest officials said distribution was suspended to ensure every Northwestern student could receive a wristband. Wristbands are guaranteed for all students.

“The Northwestern undergraduate student body is our main and primary constituency,” Mayfest co-chair Xander Shepherd said. “We are required to make sure they benefit from Dillo Day.” A waitlist for guest wristbands will open at 7 a.m. Saturday, the day of the festival, outside Norris University Center. Students can register one guest for the waitlist. The waitlist does not guarantee a wristband, but if wristbands become available, they will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis.

Mayfest officials are encouraging students to return guest wristbands they have already picked up if their guests will not be attending the festival.

Victoria Zuzelo, Mayfest’s director of university relations, said capacity on the Lakefill became an issue this year because construction of the building for the Kellogg School of Management took away one of the available areas to enter and exit the festival.

“It’s not the size of the actual

Cults fills final spot

more guests than Mayfest expected.

“Students are registering twice as many guests as we anticipated, which is why this seems sort of abrupt,” she said.

“We had more guests register yesterday than all the other days of distribution combined.”

Mayfest already decreased the number of wristbands available for non-NU students to accommodate

Indie pop band Cults will perform at Dillo Day on Saturday afternoon, Mayfest announced Wednesday night.

The announcement was sent via a push notification from Dillo Day’s new mobile application.

Cults completes the Dillo Day main stage lineup. The band will perform in the third of five non-student slots in the lineup, after OK Go and Chance The Rapper and before Ryan Hemsworth and 2 Chainz.

Cult has a female lead singer, making it the first female-fronted act on the main stage since Regina Spektor in 2010.

Michael Bass, Mayfest’s director of concerts, said bringing a femalefronted act has been discussed since last year.

“We’ve definitely recognized the lack of female presence at Dillo and that’s been a number one priority for my committee,” the Communication junior said. “We’re also really excited that the student body feels just as passionately about having a female-fronted act on stage.”

Cults is from New York was founded in 2010. The band has released two albums, “Cults” in 2011 and “Static” in 2013.

“We’re very happy with this act from their music, their sound and their performance,” Bass said.

RESTLESS FOR WRISTBANDS Medill freshman Haley Smith talks with Mayfest staff after receiving her wristband for Saturday’s event. Students who attempted to pick up their wristbands earlier in the day were met with long wait times.

Lakefill,” the Weinberg senior said. “It’s actually the exit space. In case of an emergency, we need to ensure that all students can get out safely and quickly and that is why we have had to limit the number of people into Dillo Day this year and why we have had to give priority to students.”

Students have expressed concerns about NU faculty, staff and Evanston residents being allowed to register up to four guests, while students could

only register two guests.

However, Zuzelo said these three constituencies are grouped together for wristband purposes and there were five times more wristbands available for students’ guests than the combined total of wristbands for non-Northwestern students.

As of Wednesday afternoon, 4,119 student wristbands have been distributed, she said.

SafeRide will be launching a pilot program that will run during the summer starting June 19 in an effort to give students staying in Evanston more opportunities for safe transportation.

The pilot service will run on a reduced schedule tentatively ending on July 12 and will operate Thursday to Saturday, from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m, SafeRide coordinator Bernard Foster said.

“It’s a test for us because we’ve never done a summer service,” he said.

Foster said if the service is running

well and there is enough interest, it will be extended to operate later into the summer.

“We’re willing to do that as long as we see a need and a use for it,” Foster said. “If there’s no demand or use or call for us to be doing it, its going to be hard to justify, but we’re more than willing to.”

After looking at the results of a survey distributed to gauge student interest for the summer SafeRide service, Foster said officials decided a pilot program would be beneficial to see if a real user base exists.

The questions on the survey were also used to decide which days and times students would most benefit » See SAFERIDE, page 11

The Evanston Public Library hosted a series of community conversations in May to explore shared aspirations for the city from residents.

Community engagement librarian Jill Skwerski, who is helping lead the initiative in Evanston, said some of the issues that have been discussed so far include the safety of the community, making sure every kid is getting opportunities for success and making Evanston a welcoming place for everybody.

EPL is using strategies and philosophy from The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, an independent nonprofit that “helps people and organizations address community challenges, improve their own effectiveness and do their work in a way that makes communities stronger,” according to its website.

Skwerski said these conversations are only the beginning in the process of informing how the city can provide services to its residents.

“What we’re trying to get at is what kind of

community people want to live in and how that is different than the way things are now and what barriers do they see that’s preventing them from doing the work needed to create the community that they want,” she said. “This is the launching point, we try and delve into those issues and try to get people to speak sincerely about these things.”

The first conversation was held at the EPL’s main branch, 1703 Orrington Ave., on May 18. The last discussion of the first series of conversations was held Wednesday at the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center, 1655 Foster St. Skwerski said about eight to 15 people attended these meetings.

Michael Wood, vice president of strategic partnerships at The Harwood Institute, said their tools and training help communities improve their own effectiveness and become stronger because it helps people come together to solve problems that are important to them.

“Most people that are doing community change work ... really do have the community’s best interests at heart but what happens oftentimes is that they end up making decisions that are divorced from the communities that they serve,” he said. “(They) rely on expert knowledge and data to create solutions for the community as opposed to stepping

Police Blotter 2 preteen brothers jumped by Evanston youth Two brothers from Evanston, ages 12 and 9, were jumped by someone known to them while playing basketball near Evanston Township High School on Tuesday night.

Police responded to a call of battery in the 1800 block of Hovland Court at about 11 p.m., where the two children who were hurt said one of them was hit in the head with a bat and the other was punched in the left shoulder, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. The two children sustained only minor injuries and were not transported elsewhere for medical treatment, he added. The person who jumped the children was also a juvenile and was also an Evanston resident,

Detectives have an address for the juvenile who jumped the children and are investigating the incident, Parrott said.

3 vehicles damaged in a car lot in south Evanston

Three cars were damaged inside a dealership in south Evanston this week.

The vehicles were in The Autobarn Volkswagen of Evanston, 1033 Chicago Ave., when they were damaged, Parrott said. One car, a 2011 Volkswagen was scratched sometime Thursday night. Another car, a white 2009 Jetta, was keyed. The third car, a black 2010 Jetta, had a damaged wiper and parts of its assembly broken, totaling to about $590 worth of damage. ­— Julian Gerez

back and listening to the community.”

Skwerski said part of the process of fostering an environment where people can listen to the community is by setting some ground rules, where everyone is at an equal footing and there is mutual respect around the table.

“We want to be sure that we hear from everybody,” she said. “We’re particularly interested in hearing from voices who are not frequently heard.”

Wood echoed this sentiment saying that the conversations help foster the discovery of new ideas and concepts.

“The value of the conversations is that it often uncovers things about the community that you didn’t know,” Wood said. “Lots of people who could potentially step forward and be leaders, but no one has ever asked them about something relevant to their lives.”

However, both Wood and Skwerski agreed that there was no point in gathering information and keeping it withheld. Skwerski said the library has been “very engaged” in sharing information with city officials. juliangerez@u.northwestern.edu

creating more direct accountability,” said SESP sophomore Chris Harlow, student life vice president.

Legislation was passed regarding the creation of three working groups that will analyze the use of CTECs. The working groups will each have a different purpose and will include students, faculty and administrators. The groups will be required to present their findings to ASG by December in an effort to improve CTECs. Senators also proposed an off-campus senator working group, which will include the speaker, parliamentarian, chief of staff, community relations vice president and interested members in the current off-campus caucus. The working group will address off-campus senator recruitment, retention and the selection process for off-campus senators.

The legislation was moved to old business and passed immediately.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A San Jose State undergrad grieving the loss of his mother shifted his gaze to outer space and made what could prove to be a remarkable discovery: a system of stars so dense, his professor said, astronomy has no word for it.

In only a week 21-year-old Michael Sandoval stumbled upon what he and his professor have named a hypercompact cluster, which they argue is the intensely starry remains of one galaxy that has been consumed by another.

Astrophysics professor Aaron Romanowsky said it’s astounding how quickly his student may have discovered what “some people take years and never find.”

The stellar search was a welcome diversion for Sandoval, whose mother, Holly Houser, died of cancer in October. In the last years of his mom’s life, the physics major lived at home, juggling her care with his education, sometimes rushing her to the emergency room at night and dragging himself to class the next day from Fremont.

Months later, enrolled in his first astrophysics course, he learned classmate Richard Vo had discovered an unusual stellar object — possibly the densest ever found.

His reaction was immediate: “I want to find one too.”

With free, publicly available data from the Hubble Space Telescope archive and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Sandoval set to work on his laptop, combing the universe using some of Vo’s research methods. “I didn’t want to be sitting home, feeling sorry for myself,” said Sandoval, the younger of two brothers who both took care of their mother after her diagnosis. “That’s not what she would have wanted anyway.”

Instead, he and Vo are rushing to publish their findings with Romanowsky, a temporary staff researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz before joining the San Jose State faculty in 2012.

Associated Student Government confirmed funding for A-status groups Wednesday, allotting more than $1 million dollars to more than 30 student groups.

Weinberg sophomore Mackenzie Schneider, ASG financial vice president, presented a short overview of the funding and interview process that occurred when creating the funding recommendations prior to beginning the cut and add rounds.

“All groups came in for 15-minute interviews and walked us through, event by event, what they’re asking for funding for,” Schneider said. “We all are looking forward to encourage and enhance student group programming.”

ASG went through two add rounds and one cut round, during which several groups received additional funds.

In the first add round, members of the South Asian Student Alliance motioned to add $4,015 to its speaker honorarium. In an effort to allot funds fairly, members of the Student Activities Financial Committee explained their decision to decrease the number, and senators voted against giving the group the additional funds. When SASA requested $763 to go toward the group’s speaker in the second round of adds, Senate granted the additional funds.

Members of the Student Activities Financial Committee emphasized that they fund event by event.

Representatives from Unity motioned to add $4,600 for sight and sound, which was approved.

Northwestern Community Development Corps was given an additional $1,750 toward the group’s annual Project Pumpkin event. The added funds will go toward candy, which the SAFC does not normally fund. NCDC co-chair Julia Coppelman, a Weinberg senior, talked about the event, noting it brings children to trick or treat and celebrate Halloween in Norris University Center.

“Candy is an essential part of Project Pumpkin,” Coppelman said. “We’re asking for $1,750. We use up

all that candy every year. Many of the kids who come ... are unable to trick or treat in their neighborhoods because of safety concerns.”

The Fiedler Hillel Center also requested additional funds for its spring speaker honorarium, which representatives said was a huge success this year. A&O Productions also received additional funds.

At the end of the funding process, Senate was left with more than $45,000 in the Senate amendment pool, which will be given to groups as supplementary funds.

ASG also tabled legislation that would reform the makeup of residential senators in an effort to give more time to discuss with the Residential College Board and the Residential Hall Association. The legislation will be discussed at next week’s meeting on June 4.

“Both of those groups have come to us and asked that we table it for one week to talk more about how we can incorporate their views into our end goal,

Picking a formal date to have the perfect night MEERA PATEL

DAILY COLUMNIST @SOSHALONI

Spring Quarter is winding down, which means two things. First, the weather is amazing, making it nearly impossible for us to focus on studying for finals. Second, this means that there are a ton of spring events that are taking place, which make it even harder to study for finals. It’s worth it to take a few hours off of studying to go have fun with your friends at one of the formals going on around now, but there are a few stipulations that come with these events.

On one hand, there’s the classic wardrobe issue. This is relatively easy to solve; if you have no idea what to wear, you can hit up Crossroads, Francesca’s, rent something if you’re a guy or check out NU Closet Recycle.

On the other hand, you have the opportunity to bring one other person to this event with you. It’s up to you to figure out who to ask; there’s no store that you can go to that will tell you what exactly to do.

That’s where I’m coming in.

There are several different approaches you can take to picking a formal date. The first question you need to ask yourself is what type of an experience you are looking for at your

formal; it is, after all your night and you get to tailor it however you want.

There’s always option of bringing someone who knows a lot of people who will be at the formal; that leaves you the option of being autonomous and doing whatever you want, while still having someone to sit on the bus with. This is great because you can hang out in a group of people the entire time and not be tied down to one person the entire night.

On ethical fundraising and moral philosophy JONATHAN ROACH

DAILY COLUMNIST

Recently I faced a dilemma: Is it ethical to use a fundraising strategy that contradicts the cause the fundraiser is supporting? For example, would it be wrong to host a bake sale to raise money to help fight diabetes if selling sugary treats means increasing the chances that the customers will become diabetic? The solution to this problem might seem easy – a bit of sugar is not such a bad thing – but it becomes more difficult when there are higher stakes. In an infamous case, Namibia auctioned off the right to hunt one of the native endangered black rhinos in order to raise money to enforce antipoaching laws. In such cases, I find it useful to consult moral philosophy.

A first attempt would be to look to consequentialism, the most well-known theory of which is utilitarianism. This view says that when deciding whether or not to take an action, we ought to weigh the benefits against the detriments. In the case of the bake sale, it would mean asking whether hosting the fundraiser would still contribute overall to the fight against diabetes, even once the negative effects of eating unhealthy treats are factored in. Assuming that such a calculation were possible, the solution to a consequentialist would be simple: Host the bake sale. In other words, one step backward and two steps forward.

However, this account might seem unsatisfactory when applied to the rhinos. Is the guarantee of future protection of the rhinos a good enough reason to kill one in the present?

The two most common objections to consequentialism generally fall under the other two major traditions in moral philosophy: deontology and virtue ethics.

Deontology, pioneered by Immanuel Kant, argues that an action is morally good when it follows a good rule or a “deon.” Therefore, according to a deontologist, if it is wrong to kill a rhino, then auctioning off the kill of a rhino would be morally wrong, even it meant saving the lives of more rhinos in the future.

Interestingly, this conception aligns with a prominent Jewish moral philosophy called “tzedakah,” which translates roughly as “justice.” If a person partakes in tzedakah, he or she does not need to be concerned with the consequences but only with respecting an obligation or duty.

This can be contrasted with the common

moral philosophy in Christianity known as “charity,” which instead emphasizes the importance of fostering a disposition to do good things. That is to say, a person who subscribes to this conception of charity would be acting morally even if she killed a rhino, so long as she had good intentions.

Nevertheless, a person with the same moral philosophy might argue for the exact opposite.

This distinction helps to understand virtue ethics. Suppose someone were to protest the license-to-kill-rhino auction by claiming, “What kind of message does this send?” In this case she would be arguing from the perspective of virtue ethicists.

These philosophers believe that the most important thing in moral philosophy is not to ask about rule-following or effect-weighing, but to ask, “Is this an action good person would take?” In the case of the rhinos, a virtue ethicist might argue that auction is immoral because it might lead people to mistake Namibia’s prorhino intentions for anti-rhino ones.

In the end, most people will find that each account is compelling in its own way. If this seems like a cop out, let me explain.

Though none of the moral philosophies will produce one easy ultimate answer, they can help find ways out of the vicious circles of argument. Although fiery debates may be inevitable when discussing fundraising for an important cause, an appeal to moral philosophy can make for a more tempered and lucid discourse.

BOB HAYES

DAILY COLUMNIST

During my final week of high school, my economics teacher, Mr. Yang, spent each day giving us advice as we entered a new, freer stage of our lives. Mr. Yang is both a quirky, hilarious guy and an outstanding teacher. We would spend Monday through Thursday learning about balance sheets and exchange rates (with some funny stories about Mr. Yang’s life mixed in), and then on Friday we’d watch his favorite film, “The Princess Bride.” It was one of my favorite classes throughout high school, and the final week was particularly memorable.

Those last few days, he advised us on college lifestyle, what is important in life and how to find happiness.

One bit of advice from Mr. Yang is particularly germane to our lives today: “You do not have many summers left. Enjoy them while you can.”

In our increasingly hypercompetitive world, summers represent a few months during which we can make a name for ourselves. We feel pressured to get the best internship so that we can add a section to our resume that will hopefully make us more attractive to potential employers.

I understand it. If we attend college to acquire skills and advance ourselves in the job market, our summers are a crucial time. Work experience may actually be the only way to distinguish ourselves from the thousands of graduates applying for the same jobs.

While summers are a valuable commodity

formal is at the end of the quarter; you probably won’t see them next quarter anyways so you have nothing to lose. If they don’t know people at the event, though, keep in mind that you’d probably have to hang out with them the entire night.

You could take the good friend approach; bring someone that you’re completely comfortable with and with whom you know you would be able to be absolutely ridiculous with at the event. This is bound to be fun; the only downside is that you probably only have one formal event for the entire quarter, and you may have wanted to try asking someone new for some excitement.

There are definite advantages and disadvantages to each choice of formal date. Personally, I think the good friend approach is the best one; you’re guaranteed to have a good time and you don’t have to worry about complications. Regardless of which option you choose, however, you’ll figure out a way to make it a fun night. While you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself to find the perfect date – it is just one night after all – you only have so many formals that you can go to during your college career. Be sure to make the ones you do go to nights that you’ll remember.

in the eternal rat race, they are perhaps invaluable as a final extended period of time during which we have freedom from occupational or educational constraints. Unless you decide to be a teacher or end up unemployed, for the rest of your working life, summer is just another working season. Yes, you will get two weeks of vacation, but your buddies will be spread across the world and have different vacation periods.

“

I will also always remember the value of each summer as simply a time to enjoy my friends, my family and my life.

Right now, summer lasts three months, the weather is fantastic and most of our friends who we have not seen for months are home. When will we ever have an opportunity like this again?

Do we really want to spend this invaluable time working 10-hour days in a boring office, getting little (if any) money?

My didacticism does not intend to say that working over the summer and advancing oneself is a bad choice. I, too, will be working this summer and will every summer I have left. I will do whatever I can to land an internship or job that most fits what I want to do.

However, I will also always remember the value of each summer as simply a time to enjoy my friends, my family and my life.

Go to a baseball game with high school friends, have an awesome weekend at a music festival, go on vacations – and maybe your parents will pay for them while you have the chance.

This summer, we must consider how valuable these few months are. While many of us will spend our days working jobs, we must strike a balance between three months in an office and doing things we enjoy. If we spend all summer working ourselves into the ground at a job, does that not just set the precedent for the rest of our lives?

Now, my parting words from a fun year as a columnist echo Mr. Yang’s parting words to me as a high school student: Do everything you can to enjoy this summer. It may be the last opportunity in your young life.

Food trucks bring variety to the Lakefill DEVAN COGGAN CURRENT EDITOR

HAYLEY GLATTER ASSISTANT CURRENT EDITOR

Ten of Chicago’s food trucks will be at Dillo Day all day Saturday to keep festival attendees nourished.

The trucks, featuring a variety of cuisines, will be set up in the southern portion of the Lakefill, closer to Norris University Center, in what is being called Dillo Village, said Neil Mehta, Mayfest’s director of corporate relations. The 10 trucks are the most that have ever come to Dillo Day. This is the third year food trucks have made an appearance at Dillo Day, and other food options include a Sodexo food stand and pizza provided by the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association. Mehta said having different dining options is a necessity.

“People are on the Lakefill all day, and we always want to make sure that on the Lakefill, there is plenty of food and drink for people because it’s a long day,” the McCormick senior said. “Having plenty of options is a key priority for us and for the administration.”

The food trucks will stay on the Lakefill for the entirety of Dillo Day but may stop serving once demand subsides and the sun go down, Mehta said.

Here’s what Dillo Day attendees can snack on between sets:

This year’s food trucks Beavers Coffee and Donuts Giordano’s Taquero Fusion Cheesie’s Bombay Wraps The Slide Ride Chicago Cupcake Windy City Patty Wagon The Wagyu Wagon Haute Sausage

Taquero Fusion Old family secrets and flavors from across Latin America have proven to be the recipe for success for Taquero Fusion.

The south-of-the-border truck is owned and operated by one family, co-owner Marisol Ramirez said. Initially founded to put family members who were out of a job back to work, Taquero Fusion became one of Chicago’s first taco food trucks, Ramirez said. Working with family has colored her experience in the food industry. “(It’s) crazy most of the time,” Ramirez said. “It has its ups and downs. We have our laughs and cries, and at the same time, it definitely is a little bit more challenging to work with family rather than co-workers.”

Ramirez’s family is from Puerto Rico, and her husband is Mexican. Combining the cuisines to create a taco fusion made sense. In addition to tacos, the truck also serves up different varieties of nachos as well as chips and guacamole.

But, despite the fact that Taquero Fusion sells their family recipes, don’t expect a copy of the ingredient list any time soon.

“My mother and aunt are very secretive about their family recipes and don’t like to go ahead and expose that,” Ramirez said.

“We obviously have to kind of label everything … but we keep the seasonings a little bit secret.”

Bombay Wraps Chicago and Bollywood aren’t exactly neighbors, but when Bombay Wraps opened shop a little more than four years ago, the owners wanted to get Midwesterners excited about Indian food.

Bombay Wraps managing partner Ali Dewjee said putting authentic Indian food, perceived by many as “spicy, complicated, heavy and caloric,” in wrap form makes the dishes more accessible. Although many of his customers had never tried Indian food before the food truck hit the streets, Dewjee said many now eat it regularly.

“Indian food can be a little out there and have something mythical around it, so we said, ‘Let’s create a store and create an ambiance so people can experience it,’” Dewjee said. “It’s not ‘give me five dollars, I give you a wrap.’ It’s creating a brand.”

Part of that brand was creating an

in-restaurant feeling infused with Indian culture. Bombay Wraps’ downtown storefront, 122 N. Wells St., plays Bollywood movies to give customers a more authentic experience, Dewjee said. Seeking to extend its reach, Dewjee said Bombay Wraps decided to open a food truck as the logical extension of the storefront.

Bombay Wraps is set to open its second store downtown, and Dewjee said the chicken tikka is the restaurant’s most popular item.

Beavers Coffee and Donuts Dunkin’ Donuts will have some competition Saturday when Beavers Coffee and Donuts shows up at the Lakefill with their made-to-order, freshly baked donuts and coffee.

In November 2011, after more than a decade in the hospitality industry, Beavers’ owner Gabriel Wiesen and his partner decided to launch the food truck because they saw it as a comparatively safe investment. Wiesen said food trucks require a lower upfront cost and offer increased versatility for a company.

Since then, Wiesen said he has seen the food truck market in Chicago emerge as a more vibrant community.

“It went from an industry where most of the vehicles were prep-packaged food trucks where the food was premade and packaged somewhere and then delivered by the truck,” Wiesen said. “Now, most of the trucks make their own food on board and serve it fresh.”

Saturday will not be Beavers’ first appearance on the Lakefill. The mobile bakery has offered their product at the festival in years past, too.

“I think this is actually our third year now at Dillo Day,” Wiesen said. “We love college students. It’s a big demographic within our business. And given that it’s, I think, the largest student-run festival in the country, there’s plenty of you guys, and we always do well.”

Windy City Patty Wagon Windy City Patty Wagon owners Danny and Lou Herrera built their business from the ground up — literally.

“We bought a used delivery truck and stripped it all down and painted it and did all the metalwork ourselves, all the welding and everything,” Danny Herrera said.

That truck became the Windy City Patty

Wagon, and the brothers have carried that passion to their gourmet burgers. From the classic cheeseburger to the turkey quinoa patty, every burger the truck sells is handmade.

“We make the patties ourself, which everyone will tell you makes a big difference,” Herrera said. “You know when a machine has made a burger versus handmade patties.”

Herrera himself is no stranger to the restaurant business, and he has a long history of working with Chicago staples like Rockit Bar & Grill and Carriage House. After several years working on the West Coast, where food trucks have long enjoyed popularity, he jumped at the chance to open a truck in Chicago.

“Once they passed the ordinance in September 2012, I was down there filling out my application,” he said.

Herrera said WCPW prides itself on its commitment to freshness and quality, whether that’s by sourcing its beef locally or growing herbs and vegetables on Herrera’s rooftop garden in the summer.

“I get in early in the morning,” he said. “My chef and I are there at the break of dawn making fresh burgers for the day. Some days if it’s busier, we do sell out, but I kind of go down that road purposely so that everything is fresher.”

FASHION COLUMNIST

When it comes to picking your outfit for Dillo Day, it couldn’t get easier because it’s likely you ordered a Dillo tank. Add some shorts and knock-around shoes (plus a comfortable sports bra), and you’re good to go. However, everyone will be sharing the same look, so here are some pointers for helping you fashionably work the bro tank.

One-time use shoes Although you should put little brainpower in the perfect shoe to wear, since it will probably be covered in dirt by the end of the day, you should still pick something that complements your legs and is comfortable. A Keds-style shoe goes with almost any outfit and makes your legs look thinner. The chunkier the shoe you have, the stockier your legs will appear. Some people like to wear ankle booties to music festivals, and they are trendy, but if you plan on jumping

around with the crowd, boots provide a nice place for dirt to collect. Either way, toe-covered shoes will be your best defense against getting stepped on in the crowd.

Hello, shorts weather (knock on wood) Here is where you have room to dress up or down your tank. If you want the laid-back, grunge look, frayed cut-offs are your best bet.

If you’re looking for something more polished, wear some high-wasted shorts and tuck in the tank. There is, of course, the standard cuffed jean short, which is a classic that looks good on mostly everyone.

You’re a gem Jewelry is where you can personalize this bro tank. Stack bracelets, wear statement necklaces and dangly earrings. Statement necklaces are a great way to make your look unique; however, be wary that the bigger the necklace, the chunkier it will be, and it will stick to your neck.

Bracelets are a simple way to accessorize your

outfit without overdoing it, but keep it simple with a few stacked bracelets that represent your personality. If you plan on wearing your hair up, dangle post earrings are great way to elongate your face while lowering the chances of you losing one.

Shades Wear some cheap sunglasses. Simply put, the outfit would not be complete without shades — and you’ll protect your eyes. Freshmen, those Rock the Beach glasses have finally found their purpose.

Embrace the look While magazines now highlight festival fashion, understand that Dillo Day is neither a photo shoot nor a runway. Prepare for this outfit to be a one-time use and embrace the dirtiness that comes with running around Evanston with your friends from morning to night. elizabethsantoro2017@u.northwestern.edu

SCOTT OSTRIN MUSIC REVIEWER

I set out to write about the IndieU artists, the five Chicago musicians Mayfest selected to perform at Dillo Day for half an hour a pop. We know four of them as of writing: RUNNING, Teen Witch Fan Club, Tink and The GTW. At least, I thought it would free me up to write about four artists. One stole the spotlight, this article and my heart.

But before I dive in, here’s what you need to know about the other three to decide whether or not to pull yourself away from the main stage.

RUNNING is a garage, punk rock band with angry, thrashing sounds and distorted lyrics.

They’re partnered with Castle Face Records, which houses many psychedelic, punk and overall distortion rock artists.

Teen Witch Fan Club is about as hipster as Dillo Day will get. Zain Curtis remixes famous songs like Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” or Taylor Swift’s “Red” into comic, schlocky dance pastiches. This genre is known as vaporwave, a satirical take on kitschy pop culture that satirizes by becoming even kitschier. If you love

How to rock the Dillo bro tank ELIZABETH SANTORO

GTW to steal IndieU spotlight irony, you’ll love Teen Witch Fan Club.

Tink, the first solo female performer at Dillo Day in a few years, brings two styles: the selfassured but predictable bass-dropping rap style of 2013’s “Boss Up” and the smooth R&B stylings of 2014’s “Winter’s Diary 2.” Definitely give “When it Rains” a listen.

So feel free to come and drop by for these performers’ 30-minute shows. But I implore you to see The GTW above all other performers this Saturday. James “Akaninyene” King is a real undiscovered diamond, or at least his 2010 mixtape “Don’t Smoke the Cigarette” is.

His easy blend of R&B and smooth rap is reminiscent of A Tribe Called Quest, especially on tracks like “Sweet & Sour.” The easy lounge feel on this song comes through the soft percussion and GTW’s controlled, steady delivery.

There’s a different style for every song, and even on tracks where the production is basic or not trying to blow you away, King manages to do something interesting with his voice, lyrics or layering. “O.M.B.,” the third track, is about as straight a track as can be. Instead of being generic, GTW apes the style of straight rap to break down what he thinks are fake women.

This eclectic style culminates in mixtape closer “Sound of Music,” with Jay-Z levels of confidence in both delivery and production. He knows that all this song needs to work is a hooky synth and some beating bass for the verses. Just wait for it all to explode in the chorus with those funky backing vocals, the song says.

This whole album is laden with themes of insecurity that King sees in mainstream performers and the vices they succumb to as a result. This is a smart rapper who is talking about things that are not mindless consumption of money, drugs and sex (cough), but someone with something to say. GTW tackles the insincerity of the models to the facade of success to the trappings of label deals. All that’s bubbling underneath the surface

PILLOW TALK:

Dillo Day hookups LAKEN HOWARD SEX COLUMNIST

It’s no secret that Dillo Day is Northwestern’s dedicated day for drunken debauchery.

Yeah, there are some concerts on the Lakefill or something, but the quintessential Dillo experience is unquestionably the darty.

What’s more fun than 18-foot beer bongs (which I just purchased on Amazon Prime), seemingly infinite kegs and mingling with a bunch of people you probably don’t really know, all in broad daylight? Nothing.

A key element to a successful Dillo Day is undoubtedly getting your flirt on with a bunch of randos. My freshman year, my friend from out of state and I basically threw ourselves at frat guys, flirting and making friends and just generally having a grand old time. Nothing came of it, though; it was all just innocent fun for us. However, I’ve known others who’ve actually participated in a sloppy, midday Dillo hookup.

Let’s get one thing straight: Legally, you can’t give consent to have sex if you’re incapacitated by drugs or alcohol, but I know that realistically, of-age adults will be making those decisions for themselves. However, the issue of consent isn’t always in vocalizing your own desire to have sex, but rather confirming with your partner that he or she wants to as well. All I’m asking is that everyone is respectful this Dillo Day. Making sure you and your partner are safe by getting consent from both parties is the most important thing. If possible, consider

talking to your partner beforehand if you want to discuss your sexual plans for Dillo, but remember that this is NOT a substitute for in-the-moment consent. If there is even a question about whether consent was given, the answer is always “no.”

Honestly, because of the nature of Dillo Day and how f----- up everyone gets, I would strongly advise that you just don’t have sex that day. You all know by now that I am a big proponent of sex of all kinds, so my former statement might be a little shocking. However, if everyone (me included) is heavily intoxicated, it’s safer to not even risk it. Dillo Day is the perfect environment for a well-received makeout, but try to keep things PG-13. It’s a day for fun and music and beer and friends, but if you’re under the influence, both you and your partner are safer if the clothes remain on until the buzz wears off.

For more information, CARE’s website has a great resource defining consent. And if you choose to have sex on Dillo Day, remember to use protection!

Unfortunately, The Current is drawing to a close for the school year, and since I’ll be away on my JR (at Cosmopolitan!) in the fall, this will be my last installment of Pillow Talk.

I’ve had so much fun being your sex spirit guide. As always, stay safe and stay sexy! lakenhoward2015@u.northwestern.edu

TAKING THE STAGE Chicago-based artist The GTW will perform Saturday on the IndieU stage at Dillo Day.

is the reality of King’s struggle to be heard as a musician. “Put me on the site and I got that buzz/It was a few hundred people but I got that love,” he raps on the intro of the mixtape. The fans and the people and the love matter more than the appearance of success for King, and it should

for us as well.

Look, the highest possible praise I can give this artist is that he will be kept in my listening circulation after this article has been finished. I can’t say the same for the other artists I’ve reviewed this quarter.

GTW’s next production, “Chigeria” is set to drop this summer. His first track, “Calling Cards,” was released back in February, and it is just as consistently fun and rhythmic as his other R&B work.

Check him out at IndieU’s stage on Saturday. Seriously, you need this. scottostrin2016@u.northwestern.edu

Panel discusses alcohol at NU, role of drinking age By mark ficken

the daily northwestern @Mark_Ficken

A panel hosted by Students for Sensible Drug Policy on Wednesday night discussed the role alcohol plays on Northwestern’s campus and the impact of the drinking age on drinking culture.

In front of a crowd of about 20 students, the panelists, who included faculty and students, gave different perspectives on the issue, some relating it to their job, while others related it to their personal experiences.

McCormick sophomore Jacob Kobza, one of the panelists, lived in five different countries while growing up, and said he has only seen the issue of binge drinking in the U.S. He attributes this partially to the drinking age, but more to cultural differences.

“I feel that, since the age in the United States is 21, it breeds this sort of taboo,” he said. “That said, immediately reducing the age from 21 to 18 isn’t the answer.”

Weinberg junior Rex Tai, co-president of SSDP, began the conversation by outlining the history of alcohol regulation in the U.S. The current drinking age stems from the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, which used highway funding as an incentive for states to raise the drinking age to 21, he explained.

Panelist Lisa Currie, NU’s director of health

promotion and wellness, explained that the law was passed to help prevent border hopping between states with different drinking ages. Despite the law, drinking ages are still set by each state.

“There’s still some disparity on how it’s being implemented,” she said, “There’s still some confusion, but there’s more clarity.”

Tai, who moderated the panel, and students in the audience questioned if University policies curb drinking on campus, or just move it to off-campus locations. In particular, they questioned the effectiveness of the “Freshman Freeze,” when freshmen cannot enter Greek houses their first three weeks on campus, including during Wildcat Welcome.

Students asked if the policy simply forces students to go to off-campus to parties at Greek-affiliated houses and then walk back to campus late at night.

Panelist Lance Watson, assistant director of student conduct and conflict resolution, explained that this policy is in place more to help students find their footing on campus.

He also added that most of the violations he sees are not simple possession charges, but what happens after the student finishes drinking.

The panel concluded that in order for the drinking culture to change, there needs to be a societal shift rather than more laws and regulations.

Currie urged those present to communicate with each other about what they see as acceptable behavior, instead of acting as bystanders.

“Challenge the norms within the culture and do

not put up with the shenanigans anymore,” she said.

“You as students play a significant role in that.”

Sociology Prof. Nicola Beisel, another panelist, said this all depends on the situations where students are drinking. She explained that most students are never taught how to drink outside of a party

setting.

“Part of the conversation is how to teach people how not to be stupid drunks,” she said. “People need to learn to drink socially.” markficken2017@u.northwestern.edu

NCDC speaker connects collaboration, philanthrophy By david lee

the daily northwestern @davidylee95

The Northwestern Community Development Corps hosted a discussion regarding collaboration between student organizations at NU on Wednesday night.

The event, held in Norris, featured Terry Mazany, president and CEO of The Chicago Community Trust, who provided his opinions on funding and maintaining philanthropic organizations.

“There is much less slack in the world that you’re living in now,” Mazany said. “There is a heightened sense of responsibility, vigilance, resourcefulness, how you prioritize what’s important and the power of your networks.”

Mazany said he wanted to portray the clear sentiment that the optimal way to run philanthropic organizations involves a high level of collaboration. Societal problems like income

disparity, racial inequality and global warming have put pressure on philanthropies to alter their infrastructures to adapt to these issues.

“If you can do it on your own, it probably is not worth doing, given the enormity of the challenges that we face,” he told The Daily.

He said The Chicago Community Trust is a public organization that relies on collaborative philanthropy, gathering a large number of donations to do charity work, as opposed to private organizations that receive a large contribution from a single benefactor. One of the trust’s most notable donors is John G. Searle, the namesake of several NU buildings.

After Mazany finished his presentation, the floor was opened for questions. The audience consisted largely of leaders for on-campus philanthropic organizations.

Weinberg sophomore Carol Feng said she saw the need for increased communication between groups, which many other attendees echoed.

“There are so many groups with the same

end goal, but there is no collaboration between groups,” she said. “It’s one of the reasons why we’re all here today — to figure out how we can bring people together and make them see the need in working together.”

Mazany said NU currently has a very business-oriented mindset and needs to be organizationally committed to philanthropy.

“Then they’ve got a stake in it as part of the institution’s mission,” he said. “How could Northwestern University students be a force for good in the city, the region, the world?

What would that look like?”

Weinberg freshman Jessica Lewis said she will approach collaboration differently as a result of the event.

“There are so many groups here with so many missions,” she said. “A lot of them, you can tell, have a lot of overlapping goals. We want to know how we can use that to create more effective change.” davidlee2017@u.northwestern.edu

Biss’ flood management bill passes Illinois Senate

Someday YOU may have a CHAIR on a board of directors.

By Stephanie Kelly

the daily northwestern @StephanieKellyM

Start now.

Students Publishing Company, Inc. manages and guides the long-range planning of The Daily Northwestern and the Syllabus Yearbook.

We have one student board member position open for the 2014–15 school year. Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to apply. The Board meets approximately two times per quarter.

For an application, contact Stacia at spc-compshop@northwestern.edu or s-campbell@northwestern.edu, or stop by Students Publishing Co. on the 3rd floor of Norris (M-Th 9-5pm; 9-4pm Fridays)

Deadline for Submission: Friday, May 30, 2014 by noon Interviews: will be conducted before Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Leave NU with real management experience.

A bill sponsored by state Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) aiming to help communities deal with flooding passed the Illinois Senate on Friday and now goes to Gov. Pat Quinn (D) for approval.

The bill amends and expands the abilities of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act, which deals with flooding in Cook County outside of Chicago. It passed both the House and Senate with no opposition.

With the bill, the MWRD can now take on more localized projects. Members of the MWRD can buy flood-prone properties from willing property owners at an agreed upon price, said Biss spokeswoman Katharine Eastvold. From there, members can decide what is best for the property and return it to open land or find another solution.

“It doesn’t obligate them to take on any particular projects or particular properties, it just gives them that option,” Eastvold said.

Before, the MWRD dealt with more regional projects, like flooding in streambeds and rivers, which affect many municipalities. When a municipality is not in a position to manage a flooding issue on its own, the MWRD decides how to handle it.

This is the first of two bills regarding flooding that have come up recently in the Illinois General

Assembly. There is an increased demand in handling flooding issues in the state, Eastvold said.

“Water, of course, doesn’t necessarily respect municipal boundaries,” Eastvold said. “So, it’s necessary to have this upgraded approach and to have the district have a lot of different options for dealing with this.”

Biss and his constituents worked through this proposition with the MWRD before the bill went to Springfield, Eastvold said. Because most of the details had been sorted out before the bill was presented, it was not controversial or hard to pass, she said.

“Usually when you come to Springfield and you say all parties have sat down at the table and we’ve agreed that … it really is something that is consistent with the MWRD’s mission as it stands now, people are not going to be opposed to that,” Eastvold said.

Allison Fore, a spokesperson for the MWRD said Wednesday that the agency is grateful to the General Assembly for passing the bill.

“We are very pleased that these bills received the support that they did,” Fore wrote in an email to The Daily.

The overall mission of the bill, Eastvold said, is just to add to the ways that the MWRD can address flooding problems in Cook County.

“It’s an expansion of their options, an expansion of their toolbox,” Eastvold said. “It is not a commitment to any projects.” stephaniekelly2017@u.northwestern.edu

National News Maya Angelou, who vividly detailed the black experience, dies at 86

Maya Angelou was a diva of American culture: an actress, singer, dancer and film director as well as an essayist and Pulitzer-Prize-nominated poet, whose mainstream magnetism led her to write verses for Hallmark and recite one of her poems at the 1993 inauguration of President Bill Clinton.

Her most celebrated achievement, however, were the stories she told about herself in “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” (1969), the first in a series of bestselling memoirs. Universal in its themes yet compellingly particular in its details

about being a black girl in a white world, it is a story of survival that exposed the ugliness as well as the beauty in a prodigiously inventive life.

A staple of high school and college reading lists, the book made Angelou a frequent target of parents and others concerned about its graphic descriptions of racism and sexual abuse. But it established her as a clear-eyed interpreter of the black experience with a message of hope and transcendence that resonated with a vast, multiracial audience.

South Evanston car crash results in minor injuries

A car crash at the intersection of Ridge Avenue and Greenleaf Street on Wednesday afternoon left one driver with minor injuries, police said.

A female Evanston resident driving south on Ridge before 1 p.m. Wednesday crashed into another vehicle in the intersection after running a red light, Evanston Police Cmdr.

Jay Parrott said.

The accident resulted in brief road closures that have since been cleared, Parrott said.

The other driver, also an Evanston resident, was driving westbound on Greenleaf at the time of the accident, Parrott said.

Town Gown From page 1

in University Hall.

Ellson, an Evanston resident for more than 20 years, said personality has made a big difference when it comes to town-gown relations between Evanston and NU, specifically mentioning the presence of Morton Schapiro.

“We have leaders who are more willing to work together,” she said. “There’s a much friendlier tone now, the relationship has really improved, and it just feels better.”

Goodman also said he believed the relationship between the university and Evanston was improving.

Goodman distinguished between the university’s relationship with the city government of Evanston and with the general Evanston community.

Last month, Ald. Jane Grover (7th), whose ward includes part of the NU campus, told The Daily she thought the relationship between the city government and the University has gotten better over the years.

“There (used to be) this big purple monster,” she said. “We’re reading from a different playbook now and have graduated from a town-gown relationship to a city-University partnership.”

Both panelists recognized the importance that the University’s tax status plays in its relaThere are tionship with the city. people in “There are people Evanston that in Evanston that could could care less. care less (about the University’s tax staWe wouldn’t tus),” Ellson said. “We have so many wouldn’t have so many or cultural restaurants or restaurants events without the cultural events University.”

On the other hand, without the Goodman said from a University. city perspective, NU is occupying land where Barbara Ellson, there could be houses director of or businesses paying development taxes. He was quick at Metropolitan to note, however, that Family Services the University contributes to the community in other ways such as having its own police department and paying fees for construction.

The two panelists also lauded the abundance of programs NU is creating in order to positively engage with the Evanston community. These programs include the creation of a partnership office between Evanston Township High School and NU, which was founded in 2012.

“We have a responsibility to be present in ETHS,” Goodman said.

Some of the other ways in which NU benefits the local community is by funding local nonprofits like Metropolitan Family Services, Ellson added.

Goodman also addressed the role which individual students can have in these nonprofits and other volunteer opportunities. He said sometimes students can approach things with the best intentions and still have a negative result if they are not careful.

“It’s easy for you and me to say, ‘Of course, we have a lot to offer, let’s go out into the community and do good,’” he said. “We need to assess this rather than walk in and say, ‘I’m here to help, I’m going to do these five things.’ The challenge is that it takes time to learn about the community, but you’ll find it much more rewarding for you (when you do so) versus ‘I need to do this because it’s good to be a good citizen.”

from the service. Out of the individuals who answered the survey, nearly 50 percent said they would use SafeRide between Thursday and Saturday during the summer, Foster said.

Other than the reduced schedule, Foster said SafeRide will operate similarly to how it is run during the year.

“Its going to run basically the same,” Foster said. “The same rules will be enforced that we have now.”

Several current SafeRide employees volunteered to work over the summer, Foster said.

He said in the past, when students asked about the implementation of a summer SafeRide service, one of the main problems he thought of included staffing issues. He said prior to confirming the service, he had to ensure necessary funds were available for the student payroll.

“This year, I was able to find out early enough that a good number of my students planned to stick around this summer, so it’s going to be staffed by all SafeRide employees,” Foster said.

“It should be around 10 to 12 people which is more than enough to do what we’re going to do because of the TapRide app which allows me to have one dispatcher.”

People of NU

He said there will likely be two to three drivers working each night due to a relatively small demand.

Medill sophomore Haley Hinkle, Associated Student Government director of transportation, said she thought the service would be a positive addition because a lot of students remain on campus during the summer.

“I think its important because we do need to acknowledge that we have students who are working and taking classes on campus during the summer, and we still want to be able to provide safety services and safety measures for them while they’re here,” she said.

Hinkle noted, however, due to the policy change which restricts rides between two offcampus locations, students staying off-campus will not be able to benefit from the program.

Foster said he is looking forward to the pilot program and hopes students will use the service.

“As long as I have students who are willing to work and help out the community and they’re fellow students, that’s great,” Foster said. “I think it’s a great thing and a great opportunity for students who are here to work and to try to utilize the service for their safety.” rebeccasavransky2015@u.northwestern.edu

more guests.

Communication junior Sam Garrott was unable to secure a wristband for his guest, who is flying in from Austin, Texas for Dillo Day. “She is my friend from home and she has had a $400 plane ticket and if it doesn’t work out it would be really unfortunate,” he said. “I’m not angry at Mayfest. It’s just a frustrating situation.”

Garrott said he was standing in line to pick up wristbands around 2 p.m. when he received an email from Mayfest that said distribution of guest wristband had been suspended. He said he was disappointed

because he was not given warning that there was a shortage of guest wristbands prior to the email.

He said he hopes, if more guest wristbands become available, Mayfest figures out a fair way to distribute them.

“If there are people that have put hundreds of dollars into coming and they can’t go, that’s really unfortunate,” he said. “I’d love it if they can prioritize people that are decidedly out-of-town.”

This is the first year wristbands have been required for all Dillo Day attendees. NU students can continue to pick up wristbands at the designated locations and times. tylerpager2017@u.northwestern.edu

ON THE RECORD

I’m willing to struggle because that’s where I’m going to separate from people.

— Jack Perry, senior golfer

Perry prepares for pro pursuits Thanks

By KEVIN CASEY

daily senior staffer @KevinCasey19

In a summer when many of his classmates are buried with job application duties or internship responsibilities, Jack Perry will be doing something eminently more frightening.

The graduating Northwestern senior will try his hand as a professional golfer.

Perry is a two-time member of the All-Big Ten first team and a 2013 AllAmerica honoree, and holds the thirdbest scoring average in NU history, but the paid golfing circuit tends to scoff at any list of amateur achievements.

The pro game has swallowed the souls of much bigger fish than this 21-year-old Santa Barbara lad, with the names Eddie Pearce, Bobby Clampett and Tom Weiskopf coming to mind for golfing flameouts.

Of course these three were prodigal sons who, while vast underachievers, still enjoyed extended stays in the professional game. Perry can’t even take that much for granted and is more than likely to face a few moments where he questions whether he can really make a living playing this godforsaken game.

If one wishes to survive in a cesspool of drowned expectations, there’s only one way to handle the adversity: Embrace it.

“You’re lonely and you’re going to struggle,” Perry said. “It’s just about overcoming that struggle and loving that struggle and turning yourself over to the experience. It’s your dream, and if you like it that much, you’re going to be successful. I’m willing to struggle because that’s where I’m going to separate from people.”

Perry isn’t delaying his foray into the struggle. The graduating senior will turn pro as soon as he can. He considers U.S. Open sectional qualifying on Monday his pro debut, whether or not he is officially designated as such. And if he advances onto the U.S. Open, he will be considered a professional in the year’s second major and will get his first crack at making money playing golf.

Whatever happens at sectionals, Perry’s plan for the opening stage of his professional career is to play in a number of state opens throughout the Midwest during the summer in preparation for a fall trip to Web.com Tour Q-School. As a player with likely

intangibles and ability both to go low and salvage subpar play earn high praise. He’s also no stranger to winning, evidenced by three individual titles in his college years.

But shouldn’t a player with such a resume be shooting for a higher initial path?

Perry has prepared a best-case scenario.

If he quali-

virtually no professional record at that point, Perry will have to run the gauntlet, passing through all three stages of Q-School in order to earn a 2014 card for the PGA Tour’s minor league circuit.

It’s a difficult path on an already unforgiving circuit, one that will require truckloads of grit. Fortunately, Perry has been adept at that, as he’s

proven with his consistent ability to turn his poor rounds into decent or even exemplary scores. And he has the blessing of the person who has followed his play most closely over the past four years.

“Jack has a tremendous opportunity in professional golf,” coach Pat Goss said. “He’s incredibly driven, has as good a work ethic or possibly a better work ethic than anyone I’ve ever been around for golf.”

Goss also raves about Perry’s progression in his short game and putting, both of which the coach contends have blossomed into high-level strengths.

fies for the U.S. Open and plays the best golf of his life that week, certain avenues could open up. A win would secure him his PGA Tour card for years, and a memorable comingout party that leads to a high finish could mean numerous sponsors’ exemptions into other tour events (as a nonmember, Perry would be eligible for up to seven of those the rest of this season. If he can play well enough on these very limited opportunities to earn enough to place him the equivalent of 200th or higher on the PGA Tour money list, he would be eligible for the Web.com Tour Finals, where a great showing would earn him his 2014-2015 PGA Tour card.

Those are all fanciful options but not exceedingly practical. And what of the fact that many All-Americans before Perry floundered as professionals?

On top of his pupil’s main assets, Goss said Perry is still on the upswing

in terms of his golfing education.

“Jack hasn’t peaked yet,” Goss said.

“He’s shown a steady and continuous progression. His trajectory has continued to arc upward and will continue to arc upward. A lot of those guys that don’t make it haven’t developed the skills Jack has and also their trajectory got high and then they stopped moving forward.”

Perry can also take solace in the fact that professional golf has entered an era where the youth no longer fear instant success. The tales of Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Russell Henley and the like are well-versed. Less publicized is Carlos Ortiz, a North Texas grad who never earned an All-American designation and was not even the best player on his team his senior season, yet leads the Web.com Tour money list by a wide margin in his rookie campaign.

Perry has always been confident and expects to pass through Q-School. He may not quite expect a season like the one Ortiz has had, but his goals aren’t far off.

“I want to win on the Web. com Tour next year,” Perry said.

“That’s the only goal I’m working toward, because if that happens, then other stuff will come along.”

Northwestern has a long list of golfers who have tried their hand on the pro circuit. Luke Donald is clearly the most successful of the bunch, with Jess Daley and Tom Johnson also having extended stays. Chris Wilson, David Lipsky, Eric Chun and Sam Chien also currently play professionally on various tours.

Perry says he has already sought advice from those he is trying to emulate.

The 21-year-old certainly has his flaws: He’s not a short-hitter but could use more distance at the pro level, and Perry points to better ball-striking and wedge play as necessities as well.

So where do Perry’s chances of finding his way in the pros stack up compared to his NU counterparts? Pretty well, according to his coach.

“Jack has really developed his skill set, that if he continues on the same trajectory, it will translate well to professional golf,” Goss said. “He’s exhibiting the same skill sets they did that have served them well. So I think we’ll see similar results from him.”

for the memories JOSH WALFISH

DAILY SPORTS @JOSHWALFISH

It all began Oct. 3, 2010 at Lakeside Field. It sadly ends today.

My first word was “the” and my last is a surprise for the end of this column.

My first interview was Stacy Uchida, then a senior defender on the field hockey team. My last, Emily Allard, the star center fielder, who was one of the first athletes at Northwestern to remember my name.

Those are the nuts and bolts of my career here at The Daily. It has been a wild ride that has taken me to 10 of the 12 Big Ten schools (sorry, Purdue and Ohio State, I’ve even been to both Maryland and Rutgers). I’ve seen the Wildcats at some of their highest moments and at some of their lowest.

It is difficult for me to put into words what this publication has meant to me. I have grown exponentially as a journalist since I covered NU’s 2-1 loss to Kent State in field hockey on that fateful October day. This publication allowed me to rub elbows with some of the best sports journalists in this area and around the country.

There are so many people I need to thank, but I won’t bother you all with those names because they know who they are. Instead, I will use the next 400 or so words to impart to you my favorite moments from my time wearing The Daily Northwestern around my neck on a credential.

We begin in the bowels of Bankers Life Fieldhouse in March 2012. The Cats were on the precipice of history and a missed runner from Dave Sobolewski placed me on the front page of SI.com. The shot ended NU’s hopes of making the NCAA Tournament and the photo of dejected players was plastered all over the Internet. Walking into the locker after the game to talk to players was like walking into a funeral home with the tears and awkward silence.

Fast forward nine months and I’m standing on the sidelines of EverBank Field watching Kain Colter line up in victory formation and take the most anticipated kneel in NU history. The jubilation that day is a stark contrast to the gloom I witnessed in Indianapolis.

Confetti fluttered through the air, Jim Phillips hugged everyone in sight and the size of Pat Fitzgerald’s smile was likely only trumped with the birth of his three sons.

Both moments stick with me equally because I saw the potential on NU athletics in a way I never had before.

NU went from knocking at the door to busting the door down in a few short months.

There are plenty of other great moments I’ve had a chance to cover for The Daily, and if I had about 1,000 more words, I would walk you through them all.

Now we’ve reached the point in the column where my tears are threatening to short-circuit my computer. It has been an honor and privilege to bring you sports news for the past four years.

I would not trade this experience for anything in the world. Walking into this office almost every day has been the highlight of my day most days.

I leave you with the assurance that things are looking up for NU athletically. It’s reached the point where winning is not a luxury, but the expectation. Championships are not the outliers, rather the norm.

Good night, but certainly not goodbye, Evanston. joshuawalfish2014@u.northwestern.edu
