Josie Nordman transplant fund passes $50K By ALLY MUTNICK

daily senior staffer @allymutnick

After almost three months of fundraising, Communication sophomore Josie Nordman’s lung transplant fund has reached about $50,000. Northwestern students added their latest donation Sunday with a 5K run at the Lakefill. The NU community has rallied behind Nordman, who suffers from cystic fibrosis. Her worsening condition left her with just 16 percent lung function as she waits for transplant lungs to become available. Nordman and her family will have to pay up to $75,000 of the $750,000 procedure. “I’ve lost track of everything going on at this point,” said Nicolle Nordman, Josie’s mother. “It continues to amaze me. Definitely the bulk of everything raised at this point has come from Northwestern.” About 70 people ran in the 5K, which raised about $350. Josie Nordman and her mother came out for the event, which was sponsored by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity Delta Gamma women’s fraternity. The fund is only $25,000 away from covering the family’s maximum cost of Josie Nordman’s life-saving double lung transplant, which she said could happen at any time. Nordman was moved up the transplant list last month, and her mother said that Josie will likely receive the next available lungs that match her height and

blood type. Though her condition is declining, Josie Nordman is still in Evanston and not at home in Homewood, Ill., which is about an hour away. She takes classes two days a week, produces a play set to open in late May and remains active in Chi Omega sorority. A member of the NU Equestrian Team, Josie Nordman recently rode her horse Loki It continues for the first time to amaze me. in months — he carried her Definitely oxygen on his the bulk of saddle.

Northwestern. “I’m beyond Nicolle Nordman, ready for this to be done,” Josie mother of Josie Nordman said. Nordman “The call could come at anytime.” The procedure typically requires about three months of home recovery. Remaining healthy in the first year is crucial. The transplant will only cure Josie Nordman’s lungs, but she said it will allow her to return to performing, singing and riding. She hopes to be back on her horse

Center Forum for Stelter’s and Fletcher’s speeches. MUSAC executive co-chair Kimberly Lee said the organization came up with the idea for the conference because it was “concerned about media’s changing landscape” and wanted to present some viewpoints that may not surface in a traditional classroom setting. Stelter, who joined The Times in 2007 after editing a must-read blog for television news insiders, described the current state of journalism as a “choose-your-own-adventure model” in which aspiring reporters have more outlets than ever. “The goal nowadays isn’t necessarily to get to The New York Times,” Stelter said. “The goal should be to get an audience some way, somehow.” After his talk, Stelter told The Daily journalism schools like Medill still matter, even as more reporters seek less conventional methods of promoting their content and themselves. “People say it’s irrelevant, but I

CHICAGO — Illinois’ luminaries on Saturday remembered Northwestern Law Prof. Dawn Clark Netsch (Weinberg ‘48, Law ‘52) as a brilliant pioneer who broke almost every glass ceiling in state politics. “She was always the smartest person in the room … and a person of absolute, unshakeable integrity,” U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said during a funeral service at the School of Law’s Thorne Auditorium in Chicago. Netsch was the first woman to hold statewide office in Illinois as the state comptroller, the state’s first female

candidate for governor from a major political party and the first female faculty member of Northwestern’s School of Law. When she graduated at the top of law school’s class of 1952, she was its only female student. Netsch passed away March 5 after battling with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. She was 86. More than 600 people nodded along as eight speakers recalled Netsch’s quirks, snappy comebacks and trademark stubbornness. “It was that great outsized passion that she shared with all of us and that gives us that standard of what we can do, what we can accomplish,” Illinois Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon said. Illinois Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) read a letter from someone he said “couldn’t be here but wanted to be” — President Barack Obama. “Dawn refused to accept gender as an obstacle to success,” Cullerton read from Obama’s letter. “Breaking barrier after barrier in law, academia and public service, she became an extraordinary trailblazer for women and girls.” Political prowess aside, many speakers also praised Netsch for her self-deprecating humor and recreational passions, including the Chicago White Sox, liverwurst and champagne. The funeral honored Netsch’s love of Chicago’s arts scene with a musical interlude performed by the Lyric Opera of Chicago, which she attended regularly with her husbands of 45 years, architect Walter Netsch. Even as Netsch’s heath declined, her family said she couldn’t be stopped from answering the phone or door. Andrew » See NETSCH, page 8

Lifestyle company opens city location By EDWARD COX

the daily northwestern @EdwardCox16

With its flagship store formally opening Thursday in downtown Evanston, lifestyle company Solay Wellness Inc. is preparing to turn its business into a franchise. The family-owned store, which sells organic products such as natural dog shampoo, is moving beyond its online-based market by franchising the business and expanding its product line, founder and CEO Isabella Samovsky said. “It’s a really nice way to work with other likeminded businesses ‌ who are very passionate about this product,â€? Samovsky said. The opening of the wellness store comes as the city tries to attract more local retail businesses, as opposed to the slew of restaurants that commonly come to Evanston. The city gained four retail businesses from October to March, according to data from the city’s fourth economic quarter report. In addition to the Evanston location at 1613 Sherman Ave., Samovksy has a store in Skokie with a salt therapy spa and yoga room. Samovsky moved into the lifestyle business when she was 20 years old and sold clothing made out of hemp fiber. She became a yoga instructor and experimented with salt therapy as a way of healthy living. At her Evanston store, soft classical music

practitioners, including acupuncturists and chiropractors, to provide wellness services on the building’s second floor. “It’s just all about holistically creating an environment for a person inside and outside that is toxic free,â€? employee Mallory Hobdy said. “It all starts with the Himalayan salt.â€? One of the shop’s signature products, the Himalayan Salt lamps are handcrafted into pyramids, globes and Hershey’s-Kiss-like domes that Samovsky said neutralize radiation. Prices listed on the company’s website for salt lamps range from $25 for a onepound “computer companionâ€? lamp to $140 for a 28- to 38-pound lamp. Samovsky said the store attracts customers of all ages, some with health issues ranging from sleeping disorders and skin rashes to cancer. Many of her customers in the Skokie store are established in organic product know-how, but in Evanston, the Solay products are new to most residents, Samovsky said. In addition to potentially expanding business locations, the company is redesigning its website, which will be completed in about two weeks, Samovsky said. Once the company becomes a franchise in about two months, a new owner will manage the store’s downtown Evanston location, she said. “In a little community like Evanston ‌ it’s very personal, very one-on-one,â€? she said. edwardcox2011@u.northwestern.edu

ASG Election

Sami, Kottenstette, Flagler run for VP positions By JEANNE KUANG

the daily northwestern @jeannekuang

Sofia Sami, running for academic vice president Associated Student Government academic vice presidential candidate Sofia Sami views all her classes with a critical eye. The Weinberg junior, who is running unopposed, stresses a curriculum focused on involvement, whether it be through capstone experiences that give students chances to apply classroom skills in the world or the integration of student group involvement with the academic sphere. In the past year, Sami was an ASG coalition senator for student groups and is a current member of the diversity and inclusion committee, the academic committee and the student activities and finance committee. It was through these experiences that Sami realized the passion of her fellow students, she said. “There are very few students that you’ll find that are very passionate about their classes, per se,” she said. “But you’ll find them very passionate about almost everything else they do. Why is there such a huge divide between these two parts of our lives as students?” Sami dislikes using the term “extracurricular” to describe student activities and student groups. Instead, she hopes to encourage a curriculum that allows academics and application to intersect. Although Sami said she wishes she could experience a contested race, running unopposed has allowed her to have productive meetings in the past week. “I’m not really campaigning so much as I am getting very literal and visceral feedback from students about what they want me to work on if I’m elected,” she said.

candidate, does not hesitate to share her unusual experience as a Northwestern student. “I came here as a freshman biological sciences major, really gung-ho,” she said. “I honestly just didn’t know what to expect. I was really overwhelmed. I involved myself in too much stuff too fast.” Kottenstette left NU to spend a semester at the University of Iowa. She said she returned to NU her sophomore year with renewed vigor, experimenting with her major and joining groups on campus. She became involved with ASG that year when she applied to be on Alex Van Atta’s student life committee. She currently serves on that committee, as well as the athletic advisory and university parking advisory committees. Kottenstette is running on a platform of “collaboration, facilitation and integration” based on increased efforts on ASG’s part to work with student groups, to reach out to students to hear their concerns and to combine their ideas with administrators’ resources. She brings to her campaign an emphasis on student wellness and safety, including an idea for a “Wildcat Wellness Day.”

“We can highlight the resources that Northwestern has in terms of safety, in terms of mental health, in terms of just physical health,” she said. She also wants to make campus resources more readily available, suggesting a wellness center or relaxation room in Norris University Center for students who are stressed. Speaking about her campaign so far, Kottenstette said she has enjoyed meeting with students and groups to find out their interests. “I’ve been able to talk to a lot of people, and in the coming week I’ll be talking to more people ... just making sure I have a good idea of what students want,” she said. Harrison Flagler, running for student life vice president Bienen freshman Harrison Flagler believes that when running for ASG student life vice president, he makes up for his young age with concrete results. Flagler, a senator for North Mid-Quads Hall and South Mid-Quads Hall, was head of a committee this year that toured all the dorms on campus to look for

potential improvements. He was also heavily involved in the resolution calling for University transparency in the disaffiliation of Chabad House. Flagler is unfazed that he is a freshman running against a junior for a top position — in fact, he embraces it. “It’s important as a freshman to bring this sort of idealism that ASG needs to be fixed,” he said. “It needs bold change. It needs a fresh mind.” Flagler said he is dedicated to making ASG an organization that serves student interests. His campaign team is composed almost entirely of students who are uninvolved with student government, he said, and he considers himself an outsider voice uninterested in a “top-down model.” “What we bring to this table is this sort of pragmatic view of knowing we’re students. We’re not within ASG,” he said. “Maybe if an idea were presented to ASG and ASG said, ‘We can’t do this because of administration and such and such,’ I’m with a group of people who says, ‘Why not?’” jeannekuang2016@u.northwestern.edu

NU grad elected Des Plaines’ youngest mayor ever By OLIVER ORTEGA

the daily northwestern @Olly2014

After beating two seasoned politicians to become Des Plaines’ youngest mayor ever, Northwestern alumnus Matt Bogusz (Weinberg ‘09) has perhaps a greater test before him: wedding planning . The 26-year-old was elected mayor of the northwest Chicago suburb last week, capitalizing on a successful term as alderman during which he helped the city rebound from a financial crisis. Now that his campaign is over, Bogusz and his fiancee, Kate Pascale (Communication ‘08), are focusing on tying the knot at NU’s Sheil Catholic Center in August. “It’s been fun,” Pascale said. “We worked on the campaign as a team to make sure he wasn’t overburdened and I could still get some time with him for wedding planning.” Bogusz was born and raised in Des Plaines, a city of about 60,000 a half hour west of Evanston. In addition to his political extracurriculars, Bogusz works in advertising, a job he will keep while serving as mayor. At NU, Bogusz majored in political science and international studies in addition to participating in Associated Student Government, where he served as an Interfraternity Council senator and executive vice president. It was there that he met Pascale, a Panhellenic Association senator. They began dating soon afterward and got engaged last year. Even while pursuing his studies at Northwestern, Bogusz stayed involved with his hometown by

serving on the city’s special events commission and public library board. It was his commitment to Des Plaines that motivated him to graduate two quarters early from NU to run for alderman of the city’s 3rd Ward in 2009. “The previous alderwoman had reached her term limit and people started wondering We all want who was going to run,” to make sure Bogusz said. “I enjoy my community and that’s Des Plaines my motivation, so I just is healthy, decided to give it a go.” financially Friends and fellow members of NU’s sound and Evans Scholars fraterattractive to new nity helped him run his aldermanic campaign. businesses. They drove to Des Matt Bogusz, Plaines to hand out fliDes Plaines, Ill., ers and knock on doors mayor to urge residents to vote for Bogusz. His stump campaigning paid off: He won the election with 73 percent of the vote and became an alderman at the age of 22. “It would just be vans full of Evans Scholars and other friends from campus,” Bogusz said. “We outworked everybody and won handedly.” Bogusz has served as chairman of the Des Plaines City Council’s finance committee for the past two years and points to an array of accomplishments during his tenure, including balancing the city’s budget,

avoiding an increase in property taxes and opening the first local casino. In addition to his superb track record, Bogusz boasted an energetic group of campaign volunteers that included fellow NU alumni and a formidable social media strategy in his successful run for mayor. “Voters are smart and remember what’s been done in the past,” he said. “People are trying to understand how we won by such a large margin, but voters are smart.” Bogusz won decisively with about 55 percent of the vote, besting 75-year-old former mayor Tony Arredia’s 32 percent and fellow alderman Mark Walsten’s 13 percent. To the naysayers who question his youth and ability to connect with the city’s senior population, Bogusz responds that he hopes to be a senior citizen one day and has a lot in common with that community. “We all want to make sure Des Plaines is healthy, financially sound and attractive to new businesses,” he said. Bogusz won’t be the only Wildcat in city hall when he takes office in May. Joanna Sojka (Weinberg ’07, SESP ’10) was elected alderman of Des Plaines’ 7th Ward in the same election. Despite his success in the political arena, Bogusz said he never planned on becoming mayor and doesn’t see himself pursuing a political career beyond his hometown’s top elected office. For now, his next long-term goal is marriage, he said.

expertise. But the budget battle in Washington is complicating her plans for getting there. In normal times Alicea, who attends Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Ga., would likely be a shoo-in for a full research stipend. She is an honors student who has snagged several prestigious internships. And as a Latina she belongs to a minority group that is underrepresented among engineers. But because of the sequester - the automatic federal budget cuts that went into effect March

1 - some of the schools that want Alicea can’t offer her the financial aid she needs.

Energy, ideas of ASG elections are encouraging RYAN KEARNEY

DAILY COLUMNIST @RKEARNEY892

As a transfer sophomore, I was not around Northwestern at this time last year, so this is my first experience with the Associated Student Government campaign season. So for all I know, maybe all of the excitement and all of the promises of the various campaigns are empty and pop up once a year only to fade once the candidates are actually elected. But in looking at the various tickets and their platforms, and the incredible student response they’ve attracted, I really don’t believe this pessimistic view to be the case. Rather, I am very encouraged by the energy surrounding the ASG candidates and their engagement with students, and I am hopeful that many of their great ideas have a shot at being turned into actual policy. Although social media activism is hardly the definitive example of genuine social change (I’m looking at you, Kony 2012), one need only to log on to Facebook for a second to see the remarkable presence of the ASG election in students’ lives. From profile pictures to cover photos to statuses

and page “likes,� the NU students who have yet to make some sort of opinion on the race known are few and far between. Granted, it doesn’t exactly take a ton of effort to switch a cover photo, but, like the recent nationwide show of support for samesex marriage with the Human Rights Campaign profile picture, all of the public displays of engagement still indicate an admirable passion for the process. The visible interest of the student body in the election is even more impressive when one considers that the election is to lead ASG. Student government, after all, isn’t exactly the sexiest subject, and many students have complained over the years that the organization is somewhat insulated from the needs and opinions of the students. Yet despite all of this, the student body has not turned apathetic or given up on ASG’s potential to genuinely improve the NU experience, but is instead committed to supporting candidates who have the potential to make a difference. In looking at the student testimonials on candidates’ websites, it is clear that the endorsements of the students go beyond doing favors for friends. People are genuinely interested in this election and in improving student life, and that alone is encouraging for our school. Even more encouraging is the fact that the four

Editorial

tickets for president and vice president are proposing some innovative and impressive solutions to a wide range of problems and have actively engaged the student body in coming up with these solutions. David Harris and Jo Lee, for example, have put out 61 specific proposals in 10 different areas of focus, a wide-reaching agenda that is full of practical ideas on subjects from meal plans (allowing the quarterly rollover of points) to mental health (hiring three additional psychologists to decrease waiting time for help). Candidates Ani Ajith and Alex Van Atta, meanwhile, come to the race with an incredible array of experience that proves their intense dedication to improving the quality of student life. From bringing a range of diverse student groups together for Deering Days to delivering therapy dogs to the Norris University Center during finals week last quarter, their track record of engaging with students and working in student government is very impressive and would allow them to effectively deliver reform to ASG. As for the tickets of Benison Choi and Danny Kim and Aaron Zelikovich and Henry Brooke, both possess a passion for bringing the wider student community into the ASG fold. Choi and Kim, for instance, want to make sure that students are engaged and made aware of how they can

Northwestern Confessions: I have webbed toes, foot phobia JULIAN CARACOTSIOS DAILY COLUMNIST

Skylar Zhang/Daily Senior Staffer

The Daily Northwestern for Ani Ajith and Alex Van Atta In this year’s Associated Student Government elections, increasing ASG’s transparency, reforming the alcohol policy, revamping mental health resources and improving campus safety are at the forefront of campus-wide conversations. In order to make measurable strides in these areas while maintaining efficiency and communication among ASG’s members, the next president and executive vice president must have established relationships with Northwestern administrators and city officials, as well a deep understanding of the inner workings of student government. Ani Ajith and Alex Van Atta have the greatest advantage in all these areas and are therefore the best candidates for ASG’s next president and executive vice president. Although the decision was a close one, The Daily believes the combined experience of Ajith and Van Atta sets them apart from the other tickets. Ajith, a former Daily staffer, served as speaker of the Senate for the past year, and he therefore is knowledgeable about how to make the weekly meetings run more efficiently. As speaker, he also knows Senate procedure and will have few obstacles to overcome in transitioning to president. As student life vice president, Van Atta has formed relationships with various administrators in his work examining mental health resources and alcohol policy. He is a member of the campus coalition on mental health, which has been researching how mental health is handled at other universities. Van Atta has also served as chair of an ASG working group looking at the alcohol policies of NU’s peer institutions. Through these endeavors, he has cultivated valuable relationships with administrators that can help move ASG measures forward.

get involved with student government and seek to promote tools like the Campus Voice online idea venue to make this a reality. Zelikovich and Brooke, meanwhile, have made student input the cornerstone of their campaign, creating a forum for ideas on their website and making it clear that their aim is to serve students first. The point of this examination of the different tickets’ strengths is not to make an endorsement. Rather, I wish to highlight the incredibly deep bench of talent that we have to choose from in this race. All of these tickets are smart, experienced and care deeply about the student body. For a student government race to possess this many competent candidates is rare, and a testament to the NU community. From these impressive candidates to the excitement that they have spurred among a wide range of students, I am left very optimistic about the future of ASG and NU student life, and I’m glad to be part of a campus culture that cares this deeply about these issues.

Ajith and Van Atta’s experience will allow them to make quick advances in improving student life. The past two ASG presidents and executive vice presidents were both “outsiders� promising a fresh start to ASG. Though their goals were admirable, they faced steep learning curves that ultimately resulted in lost time and impedance of efficient and meaningful progress, senators say. The Daily believes that experience and knowledge of ASG The Daily trumps all when it comes to making believes that that experience and improvements will benefit the stuknowledge of dent body. Ajith and Van Atta ASG trumps all know how to balance when it comes varying demands and have the approprito making resources to start improvements ate making change. Their that will benefit transitions into the roles will be smoother the student than those for the body. other tickets, which keep them from getting hung up on small details and allow them to focus on larger issues. Most importantly, Ajith and Van Atta have been working all year to make NU a better place. They haven’t mobilized merely for the campaign season — they have been using their existing roles to effect real change. Although all of the candidates bring enterprising ideas and passion, Ajith and Van Atta bring the solid background and immense knowledge ASG needs to truly represent the views of students.

All right, I exaggerated, only two of my toes (the second and third counting from the big one) are webbed, on both feet. It runs in the family. When I was a kid, it made me feel so weird that I never went barefoot and gradually developed a perverse fear of being around bare feet. My friends got a kick out of setting my computer backgrounds to pictures of feet and watching me go into conniptions. Yes, since you all must be wondering, I did in fact eventually get over it — at age 19 — but I’d still rather you keep your socks on. That’s my dirty little secret, and however strange, stupid or silly, admitting it feels good. Undoubtedly, many of you have seen Northwestern Confessions on Facebook, now with about 1,200 followers. For those of you who haven’t, the idea is simple: People submit anonymous entries, the juiciest of which — by the standards of the unknown page admins — are then posted to the page for everyone to read. I am an avid reader myself and may or may not be the author of several posts. I highly recommend you check it out. Though this is the first time I’ve participated in anything like it, the idea is hardly original; likes and comments on Confessions pages light up my Facebook feed from universities all over the country — high schools, too — and before all that was PostSecret. It’s easy to not take it seriously and just read for entertainment, but in between the people who take more than one piece of fruit from the dining hall, still don’t know where The Keg is (I have only a vague idea myself) and have had sex in every place imaginable, you’ll find a lot of things that might be less easy to stomach. Don’t skip over them. They’re the important ones. The number of people I know who think they’re perverts and freaks, the number of people who feel

like nobody understands them even though they have lots of “friends,� the number of girls who have or have had eating disorders, the number of guys who have psychological problems and still keep a stiff upper lip — those are all higher than what most of us would suspect, especially those suffering through them. And I’m sure there are many people outside the stereotypes who are staying even quieter than the others. I never told people about my foot phobia until I was 17, and if telling people why you’re afraid of feet is hard, it doesn’t take much to imagine what telling somebody you’re bulimic is like, especially when, as I’ve read far too many times than I’d like, you’ve grown apart from your friends, feel like you don’t fit in and Counseling and Psychological Services totally sucks. Northwestern Confessions may only be a Facebook page, but it’s given me a glimmer of hope. Alongside someone who feels like a freak for watching pornography, there’s someone who feels like a freak for having never been kissed. Alongside someone who feels alone in their dorm room every Friday, there’s someone who feels alone surrounded by people at a huge party. Alongside someone who tried to commit suicide, there’s someone with a parent dying from cancer. It’s easier to not feel like a freak if everyone else does, too. It’s easier to be alone when we’re not alone in being alone. And most importantly, it’s easier to cry if you can laugh at the same time. Northwestern Confessions lets us scream and shout (and let it all out) but at the same time keep our identities hidden until we’re ready to make them known. So, here’s my challenge to you: Once you finish reading this, give somebody one of your dirty little secrets, even if it isn’t that little, and then ask them to give one to you. I only eat with a salad fork. What’s yours? Julian Caracotsios is a Weinberg junior. He can be reached at juliancaracotsios2014@u.northwestern.edu.

Seder unites black, Jewish communities

He also coordinated the Bros Belting Ballads event April 1, when students packed Jones Residential College and spoofed dramatic songs. The two events together have contributed about $1,150 to Nordman’s fund. Moss is already thinking about his next event and said if needed, he will continue helping after he graduates next year. “Josie is an amazing person,� Moss said. “She deserves to get better.� Nicolle and Josie Nordman agreed the support from the NU community has been indispensable. Nicolle Nordman repeatedly said her daughter could not be here without all the help she has received. NU’s Fiedler Hillel Center has driven her to class, and her friends continue to help with anything she needs. “The support that I’ve gotten means more to me than I could ever possibly express with words,� Josie Nordman said. “I really mean that.�’

Students from different ethnic communities on campus came together Sunday night in Parkes Hall to discuss racial history and identity at Northwestern. The annual Black Jewish Freedom Seder, an event sponsored by NU Fiedler Hillel, For Members Only and other campus groups, focused on fostering discussions among students from different backgrounds. “I think it’s a good way to bring together two communities that don’t often interact,� said SESP junior Ariel Shay, one of The the event’s co-planners. history of About 100 people black people attended the Seder, which is in its 11th and Jewish year.

Unlike previous years, when attendees Avra Shapiro, stayed at the same table co-planner of Black for the whole evening, Jewish Freedom this year’s students Seder switched tables several times during the Seder. By the end, each student had sat at three different tables in order to interact with more people. Discussion leaders first posed questions about the history of black and Jewish students at NU. “The history of black people and Jewish people at Northwestern is not talked about enough,� said Weinberg junior Avra Shapiro, another co-planner. Information sheets at each table provided facts about significant events in the histories of both black and Jewish students at NU, such as the founding of FMO and the implementation of racial quotas , and about more recent events, such as the racial

From page 1 Kerr, Netsch’s nephew, recalled how he and his aunt’s friends operated as the “Dawn patrol� to keep her well rested. “Dawn loved to talk to friends and other well-wishers, even after she agreed she had to limit her talking,� Kerr said. “Dawn Clark Netsch limit her talking? Talking was her stock and trade.� NU Law Prof. Len Rubinowitz also talked about Netsch’s knack for companionship, especially with the colleagues and students she encountered. Rubinowitz described how much he valued the conversations with her in his office and during cab rides, noting how frequently her students became “hooked on Dawn.� In a video message played during the funeral, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin said she admired Netsch for being open about her struggle with ALS. “Dawn Clark Netsch was not just another pretty face,� Marin said, echoing Netsch’s gubernatorial campaign slogan. “She was, as far as I’m concerned, a goddess.� The ceremony closed with a viewing of a TV ad that aired during Netsch’s successful run in the 1994 Democratic primary for Illinois governor. The famous commercial shows Netsch winning a game of pool, playing off her image as a “straight shooter.�

controversy surrounding maintenance worker Michael Collins. “I was surprised about how little people know about the history of diversity at Northwestern,� said Weinberg junior Tiara Starks, who participated in the discussions in addition to performing at the event as part of the Northwestern Community Ensemble. Subsequent discussions focused on racial and cultural identity among different groups at NU. Students talked about how cultural clubs, such as sponsoring organizations Hillel and FMO, brought students together, but sometimes also created a perception of exclusivity. Many students remarked about how they each tended to spend time with only people from a specific group, often one like Hillel or FMO that is based on a shared cultural identity. Students brainstormed ways to break down barriers. Seder organizer Serena Walker said that as a

member of both the black and Jewish communities at NU, inclusivity was one of her main goals in planning the event. “I’m really passionate about bridging the gap between those communities,� she said. Bienen senior Rohan Thompson said he thought the discussions of the “shared frustrations� about cultural barriers between groups was productive. He said it would be a good idea for students to continue having similar talks. “I think having coffee talks with random people is a really good idea,� he said. Many attendees, like Starks, said they thought the event was a success. “It’s always good to have these conversations with diverse groups of people,� she said.

“It’s more than just increasing your job prospects, even though that’s a benefit,� Fisher told The Daily. “You can’t understand what you’re doing on the Web unless you understand how it works.� Lee, a Medill senior, said MUSAC hopes to

bring back Media Rewired next academic year but is waiting on attendee feedback to plan the specifics.

Cats prepare to host 13 teams at spring tourney By KEVIN CASEY

the daily northwestern @KevinCasey19

Although warm spring weather has not yet hit the Chicago area, the cold won’t stop Northwestern from bombing it down the fairways. The Wildcats will start competition Monday in their final tune-up for the Big Ten Championships. For the first time since September, NU will be the home squad, hosting the 14-team Northwestern Spring Invitational at the Glen Club in Glenview, Ill., on Monday and Tuesday. At about this time last year, the Cats traveled to Columbus, Ohio, for the Kepler Intercollegiate. Coach Pat Goss said Ohio State decided not to stage that event this year in order to prepare for the team’s duty hosting NCAA Regionals in May. Despite the tournament’s cancellation, Goss still

believed his team needed to compete, and he realized the best way to do so would be at home. “It’s really important, to me, to take the week before the Big Ten Championships off and to play this week,” Goss said. “There wasn’t an event out there I really wanted to play, so I figured we’d create one.” The perks of playing at home are not lost on the players. Senior Nick Losole said, by virtue of familiarity, NU knows the course better than any opponent and, by virtue of proximity, can practice and prepare on the links for a much longer period of time. These advantages could add up to a number of saved strokes, and that could do NU wonders. But home-field advantage also brings added pressure. “The one thing about home tournaments is that sometimes you can put too much emphasis on the expectations, you make a mistake or two, and all

of a sudden, you get uptight,” Losole said. “We’re just trying to focus on the process, trying to treat it as any other tournament and focusing on the task at hand.” Losole, along with junior Jack Perry, are the two expected to lead the Cats at the Glen Club. The pair has combined for 10 top-20s and six top-10s this season and possesses the team’s two lowest season scoring averages by a good margin. In recent tournaments, though, the young guns have announced their presence. Freshman Andrew Whalen posted a 12th place finish in Fresno, Calif., last month and Josh Jamieson, another freshman, has put together some solid play as well. Matthew Negri, a sophomore, has been the most impressive of the trio, finishing first or second among his teammates in two of his last three events. Negri said the recent youth revolt has added some extra juice to the team. “Our better play has been really good in terms

of creating a lot of competition, good competition, within the team,” Negri said. “When the underclassmen are able to post good scores, the upperclassmen realize that they have to practice just as hard and cannot get lazy with what they’re doing.” Goss said he hopes this competition will spark something in one of the team’s number of players who have remained dormant. “One thing about hosting an event is that we can play all three individuals, so all eight players will compete,” Goss said. “It’s really a chance for someone to earn their way into the lineup for the Big Ten Championships.” The coach is also clear about his goals for the event. With only one team in the field ranked in the top 100, Goss expects his squad to win, as well as one of his players. kevincasey2015@u.northwestern.edu

NU overcomes errors to take series finale against Iowa By JOHN PASCHALL

the daily northwestern @John_Paschall

Northwestern (21-16, 6-5) entered Sunday coming off two heart-breaking losses against a scrappy Iowa (24-16, 4-8) team. But coach Kate Drohan wanted those two recent defeats to quickly become a distant memory. “We made a lot of mistakes,” Drohan admitted. “We gave them a lot in terms of walks and hit batters. Today was all about controlling what we could control and taking advantage of every opportunity.” The Wildcats responded to their coach’s message and rallied their way to an 11-3 victory in five innings over the Hawkeyes in Sunday’s finale. Friday’s game started off well for the Cats as sophomore pitcher Amy Letourneau helped her own cause by hitting a three-run home run in the first to put NU ahead early. But Letourneau and the Cats lost control

of the game in the fourth inning as the Hawkeyes scored 9 times and chased Letourneau after 3 1/3 innings. With the score 12-7 in the seventh inning, NU tried to stage a last minute comeback by loading the bases. However, the Hawkeyes escaped with a win thanks to a diving catch in left field. The Hawkeyes came out swinging in Saturday’s matchup, compiling a 7-run third inning and took a 10-1 lead into the bottom of the fourth. NU errors were a big reason for Iowa’s big inning, and Drohan said Iowa is good at taking advantage of the opposing team’s mistakes. “We have to give them credit,” Drohan said. “They did a great job of putting pressure on our defense. They did a great job of being aggressive to make the base runners we gave them pay. On the flipside, we did not come up with great pitches in that moment.” With its back against the wall and the team in need of runs to avoid the mercy rule, NU came out fighting. The Cats scratched and clawed their way to 6 runs in the fifth inning thanks to sophomore shortstop Anna

Edwards, who hit her first of two home runs on the day going along with a career-high 6 RBI. The Cats would tie it up in the bottom of the sixth at 12-12 with run-scoring hits from Edwards, sophomore designated player Andrea DiPrima and freshman second baseman Brianna LeBeau. However, pitching and defense let down NU in the top of the seventh, committing two errors, which led to 3 runs for the Hawkeyes. Even with Edwards’ second home run of the game in the bottom of the inning, the Cats would come up just short again, losing 15-14. After struggling in both of her pitching appearances, Letourneau came into Sunday’s game hoping to give NU a much needed conference win. She weaved in and out of trouble in her first couple of innings: At one point, she hit three Iowa batters in one inning to load the bases, which led to Iowa’s first hit and runs in the game. Edwards continued her hot-hitting weekend with an RBI single in the first, which was part of a four-

7 14 11 run inning for NU. Edwards went 6-for-11 on the weekend with 7 RBI. “I’ve been feeling pretty good and working with Caryl (Drohan) a lot,” Edwards said. “We’ve just been working on not getting too aggressive and staying within myself. When I struggle, I try to do too much and am all over the place. So being confident in myself and knowing that I can hit any pitch if I let it get to me was the key.” johnpaschall2014@u.northwestern.edu

Alcohol and safety

“We’ll continue the work my working group has been doing over the past year as far as looking at what creative ways can we do to ... increase awareness of what the alcohol policy is even,” Van Atta said. “The administration has their view of what alcohol policy is, and the students obviously have a very different view of that.”

The pair does not mention alcohol on its online platform. Choi and Kim advocated for increased safety, especially for more bike lanes and blue lights. “We believe if you’re at one blue light you should be able to see another,” Choi said.

The current alcohol policy encourages “students to drink off-campus where it’s less safe, where there’s less familiarity and where it’s more invasive for Evanston residents,” Harris said.

“The one thing that we’re going to be pushing for that no other team is pushing for is complete medical amnesty,” Zelikovich said. “The fact that we don’t have it is a travesty.”

Dorms and meal plans

Ajith and Van Atta cited their experience Choi and Kim do not have any plans for resiworking on an ASG working group to pro- dence halls or meal plans delineated in their duce tangible changes to campus living online platform. conditions. In a seperate interview with The Daily, Ajith said the working group produced tangible changes in dorms such as drinking fountains.

“Let’s make sure we have sensible dining hall hours, let’s make sure we have a flexible upperclassmen meal plan option, quarterly rollover meals and points,” Harris said. He said the team would also look into long-term options, such as closing unnecessary dining halls to improve dining hours.

Zelikovich cited his experience with Sodexo. He said it is not realistic to change meal plans, but the University could cut some dining locations to increase dining hall hours on weekends. “Food is a huge thing for me,” Zelikovich said. “I’m on the national student board, and they’re excited to have me in this position to really help reform food on campus.”

Mental health

Van Atta said education about mental health needs to expand, and this will start with the Essential NU. He advocated for a website that would connect students with emergency resources. “We obviously can’t fund with our own money adding staff at CAPS. We don’t have control over that. But we do have control over students’ perspective of CAPS and how we can connect them to those resources.”

The ticket named mental health as one of the most pressing issues for student life. Choi and Kim called the Essential NU during Wildcat Welcome a point of progress for the University. “That’s huge, and that’s what we want to be doing,” Kim said. “There are still areas that still need improvement.”

“Our mental health platform is twofold: the first is about equipping CAPS and the second is about making sure students embrace mental health ourselves,” Harris said. “We’re using this election in large part to build momentum around that. We think students should be taking our own responsibility, our own empowerment over this important issue.”

“It’s not about peer counseling,” Zelikovich said. “It’s not going to be a realistic platform topic. We need to focus more on the peer education.”

Improving ASG

“We can use the past three years of being within these roles to sit down with people and say, ‘OK this is what you can expect from your senator,’” Van Atta said.

“It can be small things,” Kim said. “I went “One of our primary value propositions is “We want to shift the focus to breaking the to Senate, and there were not enough seats bringing in leadership,” Harris said. ASG bubble and making it an outside-inside for other students. There were only seats for organization,” Zelikovich said. senators, and Senate is for students.”

Off-campus life

“This particular ticket has one of the strongest ... community relations in the past few years,” Ajith said. They cited their experiences working with various aldermen on issues like campus safety and spoke about plans to foster a better relationship with 1st Ward Ald. Fiske.

The pair said ASG has not done enough in the past to promote civic engagement in Evanston. “We’d obviously be working closely to Fiske, I guess,” Choi said. “It’s working with what we got, and working with her and working to make sure our vision aligns with her’s.”

“I think it’s a couple things,” Harris said. “First of all, we need to let the University be at the forefront of dictating our relationship with city officials, because our relationship as someone who will serve only nine months can never be quite as developed as President Schapiro’s with Mayor Tisdahl, for example. So we do have to use the University’s lead.”

Zelikovich emphasized the importance of creating “positive relationships” with the city of Evanston. He advocated having dinners with Evanston residents and Northwestern residents. “We as a ticket decided to stay out of endorsing any candidate,” Zelikovich said. “Whoever would have one, we have to work with them.”

What sets them apart

“We’ve been able to start to do a lot of the things that we’re promising for next year,” Van Atta said. “We want to be able to use that experience from this past year and bring that whole experience to the campus.”

“We’ve definitely seen how the organization appears from the outside,” Kim said. “There’s a lot of good things that are going on within ASG, but I think being on the outside it can bring a lot of insight and intuition that you don’t always see from the inside.”

“One it’s our leadership, within ASG and outside of ASG,” Lee said. “And second it’s our platform that boasts really real and feasible solutions to problems that students have.”

“We want to do campaign week all year,” Zelikovich said. “This is our chance to meet students and really know what’s going on. I think that’s our biggest difference: It’s not an end, it’s really a beginning for us.”

Cats run away from Blue Devils, Cardinal By ROHAN NADKARNI

daily senior staffer @Rohan_NU

In a battle of radically different styles, Northwestern’s slow and steady approach eventually wore out Stanford’s fast-paced offense. The No. 4 Wildcats (13-1) handled the No. 15 Cardinal (8-4) 12-8 at Lakeside Field on Sunday, withstanding an early run and then dominating the second half en route to their second victory of the weekend. NU also defeated No. 9 Duke 12-4 on Friday. The second half decided Sunday’s contest. After Stanford stonewalled senior attacker Erin Fitzgerald’s late scoring chance in the last seconds of the first half, it seemed like the Cardinal seized momentum despite trailing 8-7 headed into the break. But the Cats controlled the final period on the defensive end, only allowing Stanford one goal more than 25 minutes into the half. NU scored the first 4 goals coming out of the break, putting the game out of reach for Stanford. “The defense came out and they really competed,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said of the second half. “(The defense) did a great job of locking down, stopping their matchups and just playing as a team.” Senior midfielder Taylor Thornton said the key to the switch in defensive intensity came from a change in strategy. “We went to more of a man-to-man defense,” Thornton said. “We didn’t have

to move around as much. We had to come up with draw controls and No. 4 ground balls, and Northwestern that’s what’s going to win you games. I think we dominated that in the No. 15 second half.” Stanford Stanford started the game strong, running No. 4 Northwestern out to a 3-1 lead early in the first half. The Cardinal put the Cats’ defense on their heels, quickly attacking the net and taking shots early in possessions. But NU rebounded from Stanford’s early onslaught and scored 5 straight goals to take a 6-3 lead, which it would never relinquish. Fitzgerald and Thornton each scored once in the opening 30 minutes. Free position shots greatly aided NU’s offense, which scored 7 goals in such situations, including five times in the first half. Senior attacker Beatrice Conley also added a goal in each half. “We like to make sure that we’re on the same page,” Conley said of the Cats’ methodical offense. “Even if it takes us eight minutes to get a goal, it just matters that we have the ball and we’re in control.” After the Cats’ five-goal run, Stanford answered with 2 goals of its own to draw within 6-5. But NU added another 2 to No. 9 Duke

Late runs doom Cats in sweep NU splits weekend, Smith scores upset By ALEX PUTTERMAN

the daily northwestern @AlexPutt02

A groundball back to the pitcher was just what the Wildcats needed. With one out and the bases loaded in a tied game Saturday, the potential double play chopper appeared made-to-order. But after senior pitcher Luke Farrell tossed the ball home for the sixth inning’s second out, junior catcher Jake Straub bounced his throw to first, watching the ball trickle into right field as the go-ahead run crossed the plate. “I just didn’t clear the baseline enough,” Straub said. “Runner might have been a little bit in the way, caused me to make a bad throw. I tried to guide it around him and just made a bad throw.” It was perhaps the most devastating of the many late-inning runs Northwestern (14-13, 4-8 Big Ten) surrendered in being swept by Minnesota (22-13, 7-2) over three games in Evanston this weekend. The Cats allowed 10 of Minnesota’s 17 runs to score in the seventh inning or later, beginning with an eighth-inning Golden Gophers rally Friday. NU starting pitcher Zach Morton was brilliant through seven innings, allowing 4 hits and 1 walk while keeping the ball on the ground and in the catcher’s mitt. Over the first seven frames, the redshirt senior recorded 5 outs via strikeout and 16 via groundballs, allowing only one ball to reach the outfield on the fly, a fourth inning double that plated an unearned run. But in the eighth, Morton struggled to keep his pitches low and, as a result, saw his ERA grow.

NU junior Kyle Ruchim jacked a long ball of his own in the bottom of the inning, but a line drive double play in the ninth halted a potential Cats rally, and the 4-2 Cats loss ended one batter later with freshman Josh Perlmutter’s fourth strikeout of the game. Farrell allowed 3 runs, 1 earned, in the first inning Saturday before settling in to throw seven more, scattering 6 hits in total. “I had some trouble commanding my pitches, especially in the first inning.” Farrell said. “You never know what the transition is really going to be like from the bullpen to the actual game mound. At the same time, there’s no excuse to come out and not throw strikes or pound the zone.” The Cats responded with 3 runs in their half of the first, one via another home run from Ruchim. After Straub’s error gave Minnesota the lead in the sixth, the Gophers added 2 more in the ninth, both runs scoring on wild pitches off freshman Reed Mason and cementing the 6-3 final. “It’s always hard,” Farrell said. “Any loss is hard, especially in Big Ten because they are magnified a little bit, but we’re still keeping

things positive.” Sunday’s game also was close for six innings, a pair of unearned runs the only damage done off NU starter Brandon Magallones. Then came a ferocious, defenseaided Minnesota rally in the seventh inning. The Cats made two two-out errors in the inning, enabling five Gophers to cross the plate. NU scored a run of their own in the seventh but would succumb feebly thereafter, falling 7-1 to end the weekend. “It’s always tough to sit there and lose a ballgame,” Stevens said. “(But) I believe that there’s a lot of intestinal fortitude and these guys will find a way to battle back.” alexanderputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu

Playing at home for the first time in a month, Northwestern continued its push through the Big Ten schedule, taking on Penn State and Ohio State in two competitive and dramatic matches. “I was pretty pleased with Friday as well as (Sunday),” coach Arvid Swan said. “I thought we returned a bit better on (Sunday), but we were playing outside so there’s more time (to react).” The Wildcats finally reversed their fortune in doubles Friday night, besting the Nittany Lions in two of the three matches to get on the board first. Singles play started steadily for NU. Senior Sidarth Balaji eventually made a breakthrough in the first set and ran away with his match, and his teammates followed close behind. Sophomore Alex Pasareanu and freshman Mihir Kumar wrapped up their respective matches shortly thereafter, with Kumar dropping just two games along the way. Although the duel was decided in NU’s favor, the night’s hardest fought match came after the victory was in hand. At the No. 2 spot, junior Raleigh Smith locked in a battle against Tomas Hanzlik. Although most of his teammates completed the better part of their second sets, Smith fought to break Hanzlik in a marathon ninth game in the first set, eventually taking the set 6-3 in a game that lasted more than 20 minutes. Hanzlik eventually pushed the match to a 10-point super tiebreaker, where he bested Smith 3-6, 7-6(6), 11-9. NU finally saw the sun Sunday, squaring off against Ohio State outdoors in Evanston for the first time this season. Although the Cats were swept in doubles, the three teams of two traded breaks with

the Buckeyes in three competitive matches before Northwestern the country’s No. 5 team pulled away. “They’re an exceptionally Ohio Statte good team,” Swan said. “You have to play aggressively Northwestern when you have chances to win a game. I think just in those critical moments, we could have played a bit more aggressively.” Although he did not walk away with a win, Kumar hung tough in his first match against the Buckeyes and saved three match points before falling to No. 84 Devin McCarthy 6-3, 6-4. “That’s one thing we talk about a lot — how I need to keep high energy even when I’m down,” Kumar said. “Being positive and being loud, it makes me play so much better, and I’m more aggressive. Everything just flows better in my game when I do that.” The final match of the day once again came down to Smith, who was fighting to get the Cats on the board. Contending against No. 6 Peter Kobelt, the highest-ranked singles player in the Big Ten, and a rowdy display from Ohio State spectators, Smith gritted his way to a 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 upset win, bringing the final match score to 6-1. “It’s kind of tough playing when the match is already clinched either way, especially after a loss,” Smith said. “Obviously I wish it had come down to my match or we had already clinched the victory but it’s always nice to win, especially against a good player like him.” Penn State
