ENU to feature mental health By CAT ZAKRZEWSKI
daily senior staffer
Starting in the fall of 2013, Northwestern will offer orientation programming about mental health services to all incoming students. The programming will be a part of the Wildcat Welcome Essential NU series, which has addressed topics such as inclusion and alcohol policy. Many students, particularly those from Associated Student Government and the mental health group NU Active Minds, advocated last quarter for the new Mental Health ENU. Student demand for orientation programming about mental health resources was brought to the spotlight following the death of Weinberg junior Alyssa Weaver, who took her own life in November while studying abroad. However, Patricia Hilkert, director of new student and family programs, said NU Active Minds first approached her about creating a Mental Health ENU soon after she began working at the university last March. “There does seem to be more stress and pressure here than at other universities I’ve been at,” Hilkert said. “(Active Minds) got it on my radar in the spring as an issue we should be tackling.” Hilkert said she planned to meet with representatives from NU’s Counseling and Psychological Services and students from NU Active Minds shortly after the completion of the 2012 Wildcat Welcome
programming. Their meeting was incidentally scheduled around the time of Weaver’s death as the mental health debate was growing on campus, she said. “It all kind of happened at the same time,” Hilkert said. Following the meeting, CAPS executive director John Dunkle assured Hilkert and NU Active We just never Minds that CAPS had the would fund resources to do an ENU addressit before and ing mennow we do. tal health. Dunkle John Dunkle, confirmed CAPS executive the prodirector gram will be funded through gifts from donors who do not wish to be named. “We just have never had the resources to do it before and now we do,” Dunkle said. Hilkert said that the meeting where the decision was made to create an ENU for Fall Quarter 2013 occurred prior to ASG passing a resolution on mental health last quarter. Dunkle said that while recent events both on campus and in the national news have fueled the debate about mental health resources, many of the improvements being made to mental health at NU are related to a strategic

NU presents garage plan Committee skeptical about $220 million athletic complex By JOSEPH DIEBOLD and JILLIAN SANDLER daily senior staffers
The Evanston Preservation Commission challenged Northwestern representatives at a special meeting Thursday night after the University announced plans earlier in the day to begin construction next month on one part of the new North Campus athletic complex.
Members of the commission expressed skepticism at times during the more than two-and-a-half-hour-long meeting at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, which featured University presentations from Bonnie Humphrey, director of design and construction, and Paul Weller, director of facilities planning. The most immediate topic of discussion was a parking garage, intended to replace current parking on North Campus, as part of the $220 million athletic complex announced in September. The garage has been proposed for the space immediately west of the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and Norris Aquatics Center and will contain 1,125 parking
spots in a six-level structure, according to a University news release. These spaces will replace the approximately 400 spots that currently exist in the location, as well as another 450 spots that will be taken away when construction starts in May on a new building for the Kellogg School of Management. The garage will also contain space for a new weight room and fitness studios as well as offices for recreation and fitness staff, according to the news release. Construction is slated to begin in February, university spokesman Al Cubbage said. “The new facility will provide » See PRESERVATION, page 9
Ill. to grant immigrants permits Social media safer for job applicants By CIARA MCCARTHY

The passage of Senate Bill 957 on Tuesday will likely make Illinois the next state to grant undocumented immigrants the right to driver’s licenses. State officials estimate that as many as 250,000 Illinois residents could qualify for a Temporary Visitor Driver’s License under this bill. State Rep. Edward Acevedo (D-Chicago) sponsored the measure in the House, where the bill passed in a 65-46 vote. The bill first passed the Senate in December. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn announced in a news release Tuesday his intention to sign the bill into law. “I want to commend members of the Illinois House for their bipartisan passage of legislation that will help ensure every Illinois motorist is properly licensed and empower more immigrants to become stronger contributors to our economy,” Quinn said in the release. Grant Klinzman, a spokesperson for the governor, confirmed Thursday that Quinn would sign the legislation once it arrived in his office. The bill will take effect 10 months after Quinn’s approval, Klinzman said.

Illinois is the first state since 2003 to pass such legislation, marking a major victory for immigrants’ rights groups such as the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. The bill will be implemented by the Illinois Secretary of State’s office. Henry Haupt, a spokesperson for the secretary, noted that a Temporary Visitor Driver’s License is not a valid form of identification and can only be used for driving

Candidates must also have documented evidence of a year-long residence in Illinois along with other paperwork, Haupt said. A TVDL will remain valid for three years, after which it must be renewed.

An Illinois law that went into effect Jan. 1 prohibits employers from asking for access to a job applicant’s social networking accounts. Gov. Pat Quinn signed the bill, which was sponsored by state Rep. La Shawn Ford (D-Chicago), in August. “It was the view of the government and the bill sponsor that it wasn’t appropriate for employers to ask for this kind of information,” said spokesperson Andrew Mason from the Illinois Governor’s Office. The law, which amended the state’s Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act, stipulates employers will have to focus on applicants’ resumes and not information found on their social media pages, Mason added. One of many students applying to internships, Weinberg sophomore Chandler Dutton said the new law is a bit of a relief for him. “The new law is good for my

Barring unforeseen events, Evanston should see a new chicken and waffles restaurant by the end of January. Chicago’s Home of Chicken and Waffles, which currently operates two restaurants in Chicago and Oak Park, is expected to open its new Evanston location Jan. 23, said co-owner Tonya Van DykeJohnson. The new branch will appear on WTTW’s food show “Check, Please� on Jan. 25. “We’re almost there,� Van Dyke-Johnson said Wednesday. “I’m feeling really good about everything right now.� The new restaurant at 2424 Dempster St., previously a foreclosed property, was scheduled to open in November but delayed by construction. Restaurant owners recently received a $7,947 grant from the Evanston City Council for facade improvement last month, in addition to a $200,000 city loan that helped fund the cost of property purchase and construction. The restaurant, about 5,000 square feet in all, will feature a private room, a full bar, as well as live jazz nights, Van Dyke-Johnson said. “We really completely turned the building around from what it used to be,� she said. “It will present a look that Evanston is about.� Ald. Peter Braithwaite (2nd), whose ward will host the restaurant, said the restaurant is “a great example� of how the city’s economic development

committee attracts businesses to Evanston. The restaurant is expected to generate $126,000 in restaurant and liquor sales tax revenues for the city in its first full year of operation, according to city documents. After this week’s recruitment events, Chicago’s Home of Chicken and Waffles has hired 75 employees, three-quarters of whom are Evanston residents, Van Dyke-Johnson said. The restaurant also hires youth in the neighborhood through the Youth Job Center and Curt’s Cafe. The restaurant hopes to attract a diverse crowd with its signature chicken and waffles, as well as healthier choices such as salads, she said. Jennifer Thomas, an Evanston Township High School junior, said she lives near the restaurant. Though she hadn’t heard about the restaurant’s
upcoming opening, she said she would be willing to give chicken and waffles a try. “I’ve never had (chicken and waffles) together, but separate they’re fine,� she said, adding that she hoped the restaurant would be “clean and not expensive.� Braithwaite said he expects the restaurant to attract a large cross section of the town, including NU students, who Van Dyke-Johnson said would enjoy a 10 percent discount. “What’s great about the restaurant is it provides a really nice and comfortable atmosphere in a very affordable price,� Braithwaite said. “I think once you walk into the restaurant, you will be pleasantly surprised.� jiayou2014@u.northwestern.edu

Warm weather hinders Norris ice rink schedule Rink open to skaters only sporadically as January temperatures remain high By ZACK HARRIS
the daily northwestern
Those planning on ice skating this winter better start wishing for colder weather. The Norris University Center Ice Rink opened Monday, but warm weather has made it difficult to keep open. “We want the rink to be used by as many people as possible, but the ability to be open is surely determined by weather,” Norris interim director Amy White said. This is not the first time that Norris staff has dealt with varying weather conditions in relation to the rink, which was first installed behind Norris during Winter Quarter three years ago. “The first year was very cold, and we were open most days,” White said. “But last year, because of the warm weather, we were not open very much.” James McHaley, assistant director of Norris, said the ice rink was officially open only three or four days the entire quarter due to “unusually warm weather.” To keep skaters informed on when they can

use the rink, Norris is utilizing social media. Using the Twitter account @norriscenter, the staff can notify skaters about when the rink is open or closed in real time. On Monday, Norris Center tweeted that the opening was delayed due to the temperature.
Then in the early afternoon, Norris Center sent out a new tweet saying the rink would open in just a couple minutes and remain open until 11 p.m. The rink was open Tuesday morning but closed at 12:30 p.m.
“Online Dating: A Critical Analysis from the Perspective of Psychological Science,” said he did not believe the rise of online dating would undermine strong, stable relationships. “It’s not like there you are and you’re in an eight-year marriage and you’re happy with your husband and then all of a sudden a new guy enters the bedroom and now you have to choose,” Finkel said on the show. Finkel was a guest on the NPR show “On
Point with Tom Ashbrook,” where he discussed “Monogamy and Online Dating,” the show’s topic of the day. On Point is a two-hour call-in radio show produced by the WBUR, a station in Boston syndicated by NPR. The CEO of a consulting group for online dating websites and a writer for online magazine Slate joined Finkel on the show. On the show, Finkel did concede that the

Last January, policies were enacted that would have allowed groups to reserve the rink for events or hockey, but the warm weather forced many cancelations. The hard-to-predict weather continues to pose an issue for planning events and outings at the rink. “Next Friday, weather permitting, we should have an event as part of the 40th anniversary of Norris Center,” McHaley said. “But, again, that’s weather permitting.” White said Norris staff does not usually allow students to reserve the rink, but they are willing to be flexible with student requests. For the third year, the Norris ice skating rink is free for students, faculty, staff and their guests. For students who do not have skates, Norris Outdoors offers rentals for $3. While remaining optimistic for a colder winter than last year, the Norris staff recognize that Mother Nature controls the fate of the ice rink. “Based on the forecasts, after the next couple of days, the weather looks pretty promising,” McHaley said. Despite its lack of use the past few seasons, students are quick to highlight the advantages of having an ice rink on campus. “I can avoid the long lines at rinks in Chicago by using the one here on campus,” Weinberg senior Tyr Wiesner-Hanks said. ”I bought skates this year, so I’m excited to start using the rink.” zharris@u.northwestern.edu
rise of online dating and the existence of many romantic alternatives could lead to more breakups or divorce. Yet he maintains that if someone is happy in a committed relationship, they will most likely not look online to begin with. “It’s not like you are powerless about whether you go on Match.com,” he said on the show. — Ally Mutnick

D65 reports phone, Internet outage outages
Evanston-Skokie District 65 schools had no phone or Internet Thursday afternoon due to an issue with service provider Comcast. Phones were operating, however, at the Joseph E. Hill Education Center, according to an email from district spokesperson Pat Markham. District 65 families received an automated phone call about the outage and were asked to call the district office to provide messages to a school principal. The district outage came hours before a scheduled second technology town hall meeting at the Joseph E. Hill Education Center. The meetings were organized to gather opinions on school technology in advance of updating the D65â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threeyear technology plan, according to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.
Local cafe, bakery closes suddenly after dispute
Fraiche Bakery and Cafe, which received much media attention recently for a lawsuit over recipes, has unexpectedly closed for business. Though Twitter account Northwestern Tips reported that the bakery permanently closed Wednesday morning, it is not clear when Fraiche, 815 Noyes St., closed and for what reason. Owner Susan Davis Friedman could not be reached for comment. In April, Friedman filed a lawsuit claiming a former chef stole a binder of key recipes, including the recipe of its signature Cinnamon Bomb. Friedman later dropped the lawsuit, and the cafe continued to offer pastries based on the disputed recipe. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Fraicheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page has not been updated since Dec. 30, and calls to the business went to a voicemail message announcing the closure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thank you so much for your support over the years and wish you well,â&#x20AC;? the message said in part. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manuel Rapada
Evanston Public Library hosts FAFSA workshop
Representatives from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission presented a step-by-step guide to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form to a crowd of 16 students Thursday at the Evanston Public Library. Vivian Anguiano, an ISAC core member who organized the event, said her organization hosted the program to increase access to higher education for first-generation college students as well as students from low-income families. The complicated financial aid application could prevent students from getting the help they need, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mission is to help them view college as something attainable and affordable,â&#x20AC;? Anguiano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students often get lost in the application process.â&#x20AC;? Co-organizer Selina Spencer said she joined the program to give back to her community. A first generation college student who grew up in Evanston, Spencer said the financial aid application process was confusing to her, and her parents were not able to help her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was completely lost,â&#x20AC;? the ISAC core member said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a program like this were available to me, I would have definitely participated in it.â&#x20AC;? EPL hosted the event to aid residents in need of assistance, said Renee Neumeier, the young adult librarian, adding that more people signed up for the program than she expected. The library will also host one-on-one counseling sessions on the financial aid application process Friday and Jan. 19.

Habitat organizes ahead of first international trip By SUYEON SON
the daily northwestern
Northwestern’s Habitat for Humanity chapter launched applications last week for a trip to Peru, the group’s first-ever international service trip. The group, a student volunteer organization that provides housing for low-income communities, collaborated with the International Student Association to arrange its trip to Chincha Alta, Peru, for this spring break. Valspar, a paint company partnering with NU in the construction of the new sports complex on North Campus, donated more than $10,000 to Habitat, which heavily subsidized costs This is for the trip. something “Habitat is an interwe’ve always national organization, so wanted to do, a major part of the program is going abroad,” but we’ve just said Emily Hittner, presinever had the dent of the NU chapter. “This is something we’ve funds to. always wanted to do, but we’ve just never had the Emily Hittner, funds to.” NU Habitat The Weinberg senior president said the group is aiming for 15 NU students to join them in Peru in the spring. The online applications will close Friday. Weinberg freshman Arisa Toyosaki, a member of ISA, said she was excited to see NU students help out other countries. “I feel like Habitat mostly focuses on areas that

Northwestern faculty medical foundation grows its practice
The Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation, a physicians group affiliated with Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine, recently expanded its practice by acquiring one of the biggest independent medical practices in the Chicago area, according to Crain’s Chicago Business.

are featured in the media or are perpetually povertystricken,” said Toyosaki, who participated in Habitat at her high school in Japan. “It’s great that they will get to help a local community abroad.” The trip’s $800 fee is less than half the cost of airfare for many international students to get home during school breaks, said Lara Saldanha, ISA’s global engagement chair. Saldanha, who lives in Singapore, estimated round-trip flights home cost at least $1,800. The Weinberg and Bienen sophomore said that because residence halls close during spring break,
international students are often left stranded or must spend thousands to go home. Weinberg freshman Carol Feng, a member of NU’s Habitat chapter, said she was excited for the group to be able to expand their reach. However, she said she will not go on the trip because the $800 fee is not within her budget. “We’re all college students and we have different budgets,” she said, “but I think it’s important to remember that there are still people who have less than what we do. I’m excited for the students that will be going.”
The practice, Chicago Lake Shore Medical Associates, is comprised of about 50 physicians specializing in areas including plastic surgery, dermatology and gastroenterology. The doctors will join the nearly 800 individuals making up NU’s faculty foundation, which is the second-biggest medical practice in the Chicago area. Members of the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation practice at both Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, located in the northern suburbs, and at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in
Streeterville. In addition to being one of the largest practices in the area, the faculty foundation is also one of the most profitable, netting $454 million in revenue during 2011. In terms of revenue, the group ranks only behind Advocate Medical Group, according to an annual list of the largest physicians groups compiled by Crain’s. Joining the practice will be Robert Havey, a Feinberg alumnus who has treated notable individuals including Bill Kurtis, a newsman for
The collaboration with ISA was key in organizing Habitat’s international trip, Hittner said. “(Habitat for Humanity) is very good with the front end aspect of planning, like how to get students through the interview process,” she said, “but we had no idea how to even start with things like where we should stay, planning for flights, passports, stuff like that.” Other student organizations that have hosted or sponsored international trips have faced similar obstacles. Alternative Student Breaks, a group that plans several service trips during breaks, has slated Puerto Rico as one of its destinations for this spring break. ASB co-director Fred Tye said each of the four or five times the group has gone abroad, students have had to fill out a hefty amount of paperwork. “The main hurdle for us is filling out forms for (the Office of) Risk Management,” the SESP senior said. “We need to figure out all the tiny details that you might not think of: who’s going to meet us at the airport, what time they’re coming, what is our mode of transportation to and from the site, how we are spending our free time.” Students also fill out liability contracts and waivers with NU that have the students assume all responsibility while traveling, he said. While that is standard, the process can still take days to complete. “But it’s really all worth it,” Tye said. “Being immersed in a different culture, having the opportunity use a different language that they’re learning in school – international trips get the dialogue going about doing community service domestically and how that’s different from going abroad.” suson2015@u.northwestern.edu

Changes coming to Winter Break housing policy By SARAH TASSONI
the daily northwestern
To better accommodate students, Residential Services will be evaluating its policy for access to oncampus housing during Winter Break. Although plans are in their initial stages, Paul Riel, executive director of Residential Services, said his office is changing its policies in an attempt to better assist students, some of whom do not go home for the holidays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realize that some students have unique circumstances that may prevent them from having a place to stay over a break period,â&#x20AC;? Riel said. NU dorms close for the entirety of Winter Break and do not open until 10 a.m. the day before Winter Quarter classes begin. Some students say the small window of time for moving back into the dorms makes it stressful for both those who do not leave town for the holidays and those returning to campus from break. Medill junior Danielle Kerani said it would be easier for students to prepare for classes if they had more time to move back into the dorms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people in apartments get back two to three days before, so it should be the same for the dorms,â&#x20AC;? Kerani said.

DECEMBER DWELLINGS Residential Services will reevaluate its on-campus housing policy for Winter Break. Currently dorms open at 10 a.m. the day before classes begin Winter Quarter.
Students are unable to stay in the dorms during the holidays because University staff would need to be present in the buildings, Riel said. For students who remain in Evanston over Winter Break, especially international students, finding a place to stay can be challenging. In extreme cases, Student Affairs refers
them to potential lodgings, he said. Weinberg freshman Shivani Kothari said her friend, an international student from South Korea, had to stay in a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off-campus apartment during break because plane tickets were too expensive to go back home for the short period of time.
The Winter Break campus housing policy has been an ongoing issue in Residential Services. Riel said that when he was interviewing for his position in February of last year, both vice president of student affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin and assistant vice president for student auxiliary services Julie Payne-Kirchmeier brought up that they all needed to explore different accommodation options for students during Winter Break. Communication freshman Kirra Silver ended up arriving back on campus too early this quarter. She managed to find a hotel to stay in, but it was initially a â&#x20AC;&#x153;scaryâ&#x20AC;? situation, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was literally homeless for a while,â&#x20AC;? she said. Medill juniors Jenna Frasier and Danielle Kerani agreed that NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies can cause problems for traveling students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only from New Jersey, but some students are from real far away, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get why they do that,â&#x20AC;? Frasier said. Numerous students said the dorms should reopen for students at least two days in advance instead of the day before to be more flexible with travel plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous that they open at 10 a.m. on Sunday,â&#x20AC;? Kothari said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some flights come in on different days, and that some people have to stay in hotels is just not right.â&#x20AC;? sarahtassoni2012@u.northwestern.edu
African American studies prof, novelist dies at 92 By LAUREN CARUBA
daily senior staffer
Jan Carew, a key Caribbean intellectual and former chair of Northwesternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department of African American studies, died last month at the age of 92, the University announced Thursday. Carew, who taught at NU from 1973 to 1987, passed away Dec. 6 in Louisville, Ky., according to a University news release. Carew was involved early on in shaping NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s African American studies curriculum. Arriving just a year after the establishment of the department, Carew became one of its first chairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vitality of the African American studies
department at Northwestern is due in no small part to Jan Carewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership as the first chairperson,â&#x20AC;? said Celeste Watkins-Hayes, chair of NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department of African American studies, in a release. During his time at NU, Carew taught both African American studies and Third World studies. Prior to assuming his position at NU, he lectured at Princeton University and the University of London. An extensive traveler, Carew also lived in Prague and Paris. He also briefly acted with the Laurence Olivier Company in Holland. Watkins-Hayes said Carew, who was originally from British Guiana, now Guyana, helped bring an international perspective to African American studies at NU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jan Carew was a visionary scholar, leader, and public intellectual. His intellectual brilliance, collaborative
spirit, and commitment to diasporic and interdisciplinary scholarship that transcends boundaries have inspired a number of us in the field,â&#x20AC;? Watkins-Hayes said. Carew was also a distinguished novelist, playwright, historian and social justice activist. He is most known for his 1958 novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Midas,â&#x20AC;? which focuses on class struggle in post-colonial Guyana. Carewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other novels include â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wild Coast,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Barbarian,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moscow is Not My Meccaâ&#x20AC;? among other publications. His 1994 memoir, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghosts in Our Blood,â&#x20AC;? features his conversations with Malcolm X, who he met in 1965. Carewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing drew numerous awards, including the Caribbean-Canadian Lifetime Creative Award in 2003 from the Caribbean Canadian Literary
exposition. The previous year he won the ClarkAtlanta University Nkyinkyim Award. History Prof. Darlene Hine said in a University news release that Carewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work had important implications for the field of African American studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He helped to extend our understanding of the African diaspora through his illuminating scholarship, teaching and service,â&#x20AC;? Hine said in the release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will always treasure his wisdom, draw inspiration from his lifelong commitment to social justice and relish his quiet dignity.â&#x20AC;? A memorial service for Carew will take place Saturday, Jan. 12 at 11 a.m. in Alice Millar Chapel, followed by a reception at the John Evans Alumni Center. laurencaruba2015@u.northwestern.edu

plan that has been in place for almost three years. Dunkle is also continuing his requests to increase the staff at CAPS, a goal he has been working toward for almost three years. This year he also began a campus coalition on mental health that drew students interested in mental health issues or who have exhibited leadership on campus to gain a comprehensive look at what the mental health needs are at NU. Sixteen students who are involved with ASG, Active Minds, CAPS and several other student groups participate. Alex Van Atta, who sponsored the ASG resolution on mental health in December, also works on the campus coalition, which met several times during Fall Quarter and has plans to meet during Winter Quarter. He said the group already had a meeting scheduled shortly after mental health issues were debated following Weaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It reaffirmed everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really have to put a lot of resources into making sure students are being provided with the mental health care they need.â&#x20AC;? Van Atta said he was very excited about the decision to include an ENU on mental health in Wildcat Welcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be interested to see what CAPS can come up with,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to see people are listening to what students think is important.â&#x20AC;?
significantly expanded and improved space for fitness, wellness and other programs for use by the entire Northwestern community,â&#x20AC;? Jim Phillips, vice president for athletics and recreation, said in the release. That building is also part of the North Campus framework planned for later this year. During the construction process, parking will remain open in the lot east of Kemper Hall, according to the release. Because part of the garageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed location falls on historic land, building permits for the area lie at the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion, although Evanston City Council can overturn the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisions, as they did in October when they granted NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal to proceed with plans on a new Sheridan Road visitors center. The special meeting was called as an informational session before the proposal comes before the commission for approval at its regularly scheduled meeting next Tuesday. Commission chair Garry Shumaker said after the
From page 1
meeting that because so much of the meeting focused on the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general plans, he will use Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meaning to discern more of the specific plans for the garage. He praised the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness of its historic buildings but cautioned that the new athletic complex and an earlier proposal for the visitor center are a different animal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though (NU has) a reputation for preservation, these are much bigger new buildings that affect all that historical content,â&#x20AC;? he said. Shumaker said he was hopeful the garage plan would come to a vote Tuesday. He said a similar discussion will come up when the University finalizes plans for Ryan Fieldhouse, the centerpiece of the new complex, which will also fall on preserved land. Humphrey said she was optimistic the commission would approve the plan but still harbored some concern after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. She said she had not thought about what the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next steps would be if the permits are not approved. The proposed garage is one part of the athletics and recreation complex development on North Campus, which will include the construction of a new
multipurpose athletic facility, as well as renovations to SPAC and the field hockey and soccer/lacrosse fields. Space on the first and second floors of the parking structure will be utilized by NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audiology and speech/language/learning clinics and the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Cubbage said he believes the renovations across North Campus will help improve life on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all key parts of developing campus to provide better facilities for all members of the community, mainly students, but also for faculty and staff,â&#x20AC;? he said. Construction on the parking garage portion of the building is slated to finish in early 2014 and recreational, and office spaces will develop later that year, the release said. The first portion of this project is estimated to cost more than $40 million. The University announced Dec. 30 it had passed $55 million in fundraising for the project.
make Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roadways safer. The Highway Safety Coalition estimates that unlicensed and uninsured drivers are involved in nearly 80,000 accidents each year in Illinois, causing $660 million in damage. According to the HSC, unlicensed drivers are five times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than licensed drivers nationwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bill helps better insure that people that are behind the wheel are safer and better drivers,â&#x20AC;? Haupt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before this, these drivers had never taken any driving tests.â&#x20AC;?
Opponents of the bill have raised concerns about the potential for identity theft and fraud and believe that the bill will not make the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads safer. The billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proximity to the contentious issue of immigration has also sparked controversy in Illinois and nationwide. The Federation for American Immigration Reform has called for people around the country to tell Quinn about their opposition to the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Illinois politicians on both sides of the aisle arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in protecting Illinois drivers or citizens,â&#x20AC;? said Kristen Williamson, a spokesperson for FAIR. Haupt said that the structure of the TVDL process protects against fraud. An Illinois citizen may enter a state driving facility
and walk away with a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license the same day. Applicants for a TVDL, however, must make an appointment in advance. Furthermore, state officials must verify the authenticity of the applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documents and run photographs through facial recognition systems before issuing the license at a later date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number one reason to support this legislation is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a highway safety bill,â&#x20AC;? Haupt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a pool of people and making sure that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better drivers and that they have auto insurance. That makes all of us a little bit safer.â&#x20AC;?
not all social networking websites should be involved when applying to a job or internship. Sites such as Facebook should be left out of job applications altogether, she said, because even if applicants are careful about their Facebook privacy settings, their professional image may still be hindered by posts made by friends and family members. On the other hand, Twitter and LinkedIn can give applicants an advantage when it comes to connecting with possible employers or contacting professional relationships, McElhenie said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social media is a great opportunity to look for jobs if you use it correctly,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ultimately, McElhenie said, the law will protect applicantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; privacy more than before. Dutton, too, said he recognized the new bill as an important change in the application world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is good because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think employers knowing about potential employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal information does anything but create a more unhealthy relationship between employers and employees.â&#x20AC;? Though it is too soon to tell if the ban on
employers asking prospective employees for social media access will have an impact on an applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job search, at least one Northwestern student is not making any changes. Although she agrees the new law is a positive measure for applicants, Medill junior Shelly Tan said she will remain professional on all her social networking accounts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want someone to see something, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it online,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Still, the law might make students more aware of the need to exercise caution online, Dunlap said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might alert students that they really need to know how to use these tools so that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a constructive way to really enhance their job search,â&#x20AC;? he said. McElhenie said social media has become an important tool in an applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job search, but

Wrestling
Wildcats welcome Cornhuskers for first time By ROHAN NADKARNI
daily senior staffer
Northwestern won’t be the only NU in the house on Saturday night. Conference rival Nebraska (6-3, 0-2 Big Ten) will make its first visit to Evanston as a member of the Big Ten this weekend. The Cornhuskers did not wrestle the Wildcats last season during their inaugural year in the conference. The teams last met in 2009, a 19-18 win for Nebraska. NU (4-3, 0-2) enters the dual still looking for its first win in the Big Ten. The Cats started off the season red-hot, downing their first three dual opponents by at least 20 points and winning the Keystone Classic in Pennsylvania. But since its two dual wins Dec. 1, NU has gone 1-3. The Cats fell to conference foes No. 3 Minnesota and No. 4 Ohio State by a combined score of 66-13. NU also faced Clarion and No. 20 Edinboro during a double-header, defeating Clarion but falling to Edinboro. “You just need to think about your match, and if we have 10 guys that do that we’ll be okay,” coach Drew Pariano said of the recent struggles. “Guys that take the entire weight of the team on their shoulders …

(they) might wrestle outside of their comfort zone.” Pariano admitted to asking too much of his wrestlers at certain points to pick up a team win, something he vows not to do in the future. Injuries marred the Cats in their last performance. Redshirt senior Levi Mele sat out at 133 pounds, where
true freshman Garrison White took a loss. The Cats also forfeited at heavyweight when redshirt sophomore Mike McMullan was unable to compete. “Mike is more probable than Levi right now (to wrestle this weekend),” Pariano said. “I know Levi needs to see the doctor and we need to be careful. It’s
wrestling – I don’t even know what Nebraska’s lineup fully going to be; they’ve had three guys out.” The Cornhuskers have six victories this season but are winless in the Big Ten so far themselves. Nebraska lost 27-7 to Minnesota and fell short 19-17 against Wisconsin. The Cornhuskers could earn their first conference win of the season one night before Saturday’s dual when they face Michigan in Ann Arbor. The two marquee matchups on Saturday should be at 157 pounds and 174 pounds. At 157, NU’s No. 2 Jason Welch will square off against No. 7 James Green. Welch is 17-0 on the season, a streak dating back to the beginning of last regular season, which he finished undefeated in duals. Green is 12-2 and could be a future competitor at the Big Ten Championships. Another top-10 showdown happens at 174, when No. 9 Lee Munster faces No. 4 Robert Kokesh. Kokesh has been one of the most dominant wrestlers at his weight, posting an impressive 22-1 record so far this season. Munster is tied for second on the Cats with 14 wins. Munster lost to Kokesh earlier in the season. “(Munster’s) focus is to beat him.” Pariano said. “(Kokesh) is a great competitior. I’m very impressed with him, but I like my guy.” rohannadkarni2015@u.northwestern.edu
Fencing
Schiller says 2013 slogan for fencing is ‘fear purple’ By ABBEY CHASE
the daily northwestern
Heading into the bulk of its season, the fencing team’s dominant fall showing has served as the perfect prelude to 2013. Aside from talent, it’s teamwork that has contributed to Northwestern’s spot in the top 10. “There are two scenarios,” coach Laurie Schiller said of his team. “They can all turn into a bunch of squabbling, ‘I hate you’ people or they can work together as a team, and I’ve been very pleased with their working together as a team.” At their first tournament of the year, the Wildcats swept the three titles at the Burton Open, with sophomore Courtney Dumas picking up her second straight gold medal in epee and senior team captains
Alicia Gurrieri and Dayana Sarkisova taking first place in the saber and foil events, respectively. “She’s not a whiner,” Schiller said of Dumas. “She’s got that kind of tough mentality, and I wish more of the kids had that because that’s what makes the champion, the kid that believes they can do it and wants to do it enough that it hurts.” On the heels of her Burton title defense, the sophomore epeeist earned a bronze at the Remenyik Open and at the November USA Fencing North American Cup the following weekend, taking first in her pool. “I was really happy to repeat at the Burton,” Dumas said. “I finished well in all three Division I events that I went to this year so far, and I finished the best in those that I have before. … Coming in, I had never made the top 16 in a Division I event before, and to consistently do it three times is something
that I was really proud of.” Another fall standout was fellow epeeist Dina Bazarbayeva who returned to the pitch after being sidelined by injury during the 2012 season. “It makes me more motivated,” Bazarbayeva, a junior who claimed the gold at the Remenyik Open in November, said of her absence from last year’s squad. “I didn’t redshirt which I kind of regret now because I thought I could make it even without practicing, but I trained all summer.” Opening their 2013 season, the Cats will head to Pasadena, Calif., for the Western Invitational. In last year’s event, NU won its six duals easily, dropping just nine of 162 bouts. Despite their head-to-head advantage heading into the weekend, Schiller isn’t taking the duals lightly. “If you’re going to be successful against the strong team, you have to be equally successful against the
weaker team,” Schiller said. “You can’t flub your way through the weaker team even though you’re still going to beat them 5-3. You should be beating them 5-0 because otherwise you’re being lazy. You need to focus on each match as though it were the No. 1 team in the country.” As the season progresses, the Cats will be going up against teams that they have not performed well against in the past, but Schiller is optimistic. “My slogan this year is ‘Fear purple,” Schiller said. “Being in the top 10 isn’t good enough. I want to be the Midwest Champion, and we were two touches away from that last year, and it wasn’t good enough. Now unfortunately, Notre Dame has picked up two Olympians from this year. Well, you know what? So what? They can be beaten too.” abigailchase2015@u.northwestern.edu

Cats earn first conference win Northwestern
By JOSH WALFISH
daily senior staffer
Northwestern put together its best performance of the young Big Ten season to earn its first conference win of the 2013 campaign Thursday. The Wildcats (10-6, 1-2 Big Ten) ended the first half on a 25-6 run to take the lead for good and beat the Nittany Lions (8-7, 0-3) 70-54. “It seems like we’re playing a little bit better on the road this year than we are at home,” coach Bill Carmody said. “We just had that run in the last 10 minutes of the first half and all around a nice effort for the team.” The first-half run set the tone for the game, but NU always seemed to have an answer for Penn State. Each time the Nittany Lions came close to getting back into the game, the Cats found a way to respond and extend the lead. In the second half, the Nittany Lions cut the deficit to 13 with 11 minutes and 39 seconds remaining, but just four minutes later the gap was at 23 points, the largest lead of the game for NU. Sophomore point guard Dave Sobolewski said as important as the run in the first half was for the Cats, he thought the little runs in the second half were even more critical. “In my eyes it was even more important that we came out in the second half and didn’t let them back into the game,” Sobolewski said. “It was really important to keep that momentum after halftime to make sure they couldn’t get any momentum at home and try to get back into the game.” NU did right Thursday night many of the little things the team has not executed very well all year. The Cats were nearly even in the rebounding column thanks to eight boards from freshman Alex Olah and seven from senior forward Jared Swopshire. They also limited the Nittany Lions’ second-chance and fast-break points, something NU struggled to do Sunday against Minnesota. The Cats also

made Penn State pay for turnovers, scoring 13 points on 11 takeaways. More importantly, NU took care of the ball better than it has in previous games and was able to run its offense efficiently. On Wednesday, Swopshire talked about how the small things were
holding the Cats back from winning games. He said Thursday he thought NU did an excellent job at executing on the small details. “A big key tonight was rebounding and defense,” Swopshire said. “For the most part we were able to do that. We were able to stick with the scouting
report and coach (Fred) Hill did a good job with that.” The Cats were able to get four players in double figures, led by Sobolewski’s 18 points. Swopshire added 17 in one of his most complete performance as a member of the Cats, but it was Sobolewski who got much of the attention from his coach. Carmody said he was happy with his point guard’s performance. “(Sobolewski) got some shots up and that’s what I think is important,” Carmody said. “He’s got to put the ball in the basket, get some shots up especially now that Drew (Crawford) is gone and Reggie (Hearn) is not 100 percent.” However, NU’s greatest accomplishments came on the defensive end of the floor. The Cats held the Nittany Lions to less than 32 percent shooting from the field and limited Penn State to just 20 percent shooting from behind the arc. As a team, NU stole the ball six times and blocked seven shots. The Cats also were successful on the defensive glass, limiting Penn State to 15 offensive rebounds, most of which never materialized into quality second-chance opportunities. All in all, the team’s performance Thursday night left Carmody pleased with his players’ performance. Swopshire said the game gives NU great momentum for Sunday’s game with Iowa (11-5, 0-3) at Welsh-Ryan Arena. “It defintely gives us some confidence getting the first conference win of the season,” Swopshire said. “Iowa’s a really good team so we got to come ready to practice (Friday), and we’ll be ready for them on Sunday.”
Northwestern couldn’t even keep it close this time. After back-to-back losses in the Big Ten, each by 4 points, the Wildcats (8-8, 0-3 Big Ten) fell big to in-state rival Illinois, 65-47. NU’s anemic offense all but assured its third straight conference loss. Guard Adrienne Godbold led the Fighting Illini with 20 points. “The game got away from us, it was sloppy,” coach Joe McKeown said. “We had some chances, but we didn’t take advantage. We just turned the ball over in the second half. It’s just really frustrating because we worked against their pressure all week.” For the Cats, putting the ball in the basket turned out to be a very tough task. NU shot 30.8 percent on 16-of-52 shooting. The first half was especially rough – the Cats only hit five shots on 20 percent shooting. In fact, the offense gave away the ball more than twice as often as they made field goals, finishing the game with 34 turnovers. “At times we were really aggressive,” freshman forward Maggie Lyon said. “Sometimes it was to our disadvantage that we were playing like that. At times I felt like it was a little hectic and we were playing at their pace instead of trying to control the game.” Sophomore point guard Karly Roser

particularly struggled against the Illinois defense. Roser managed only 2 points and did not make any field goals. Her four assists were canceled out by her 15 turnovers. Still, the Cats only trailed by 4 after the first half. But the Fighting Illini pulled away in the second, scoring a whopping 42 of their 65 points. “There were some times in the second half when it was a little hectic,” Lyon said. “We weren’t playing our game, we were a little out of control, people weren’t looking where they were passing.” NU was left in a worse position when senior forward Kendall Hackney fouled out after playing 30 minutes. Hackney led the Cats in scoring with 14 points – the only NU player in double digits – and also had the fewest turnovers for any player with more than 20 minutes on the court. The Cats’ gameplan entering the contest was to limit Illinois’ Karisma Penn. For the most part, NU was successful.

Cats remain winless in conference daily senior staffer
Youth serving Cats well All the pundits want to talk about how important seniors are in college sports., And although I agree the veterans are a crucial aspect of every team, Northwestern is in the midst of a revolution led by its youth. Look no further than the women’s basketball team, which started two freshmen and a sophomore against Illinois on Thursday night. The point guard is Karly Roser, a sophomore who was thrown into the fire last year by coach Joe McKeown.Roser has become a better and more vocal leader and is already playing like a savvy veteran. The two freshmen in the starting lineup, forwards Lauren Douglas and Maggie Lyon, are both averaging more than 10 points per game, and McKeown is very demanding on the two of them as they grow throughout the season. If you’re still not convinced, look at the men’s team, which is led by sophomore Dave Sobolewski at the point. Sobolewski has singlehandedly kept the Wildcats in games this season, and he is playing more and more like Michael Thompson did in his senior year. In addition to Sobolewski, redshirt freshman Tre Demps has become a scoring machine of late, putting up double digit points in three of the last six games. The guard has been one of NU’s most aggressive players since senior forward Drew Crawford went out with an injury, and the aggressiveness has paid off for the Cats. True freshmen Kale Abrahamson and Alex Olah have each made some freshman mistakes, but they have also shown flashes of brilliance. The team’s record may not show the talent that coach Bill Carmody has with this squad, but with the help of these young players, next year will be very promising. The most youthful team this winter is probably the wrestling squad, but you wouldn’t know it by the list of accomplishments these guys have accrued. Redshirt sophomores Lee Munster and Mike McMullan are both ranked in the top 10 in their respective weight classes9. McMullan finished third at the NCAA Championships last season as a freshman, and Munster qualified for the tournament and even received a seed from the committee. Pierce Harger, another redshirt sophomore, has made significant strides from his freshman campaign, when he qualified for the NCAA Championships. He is now in line to receive a seed this March. True freshman Dominick Malone has had a sensational first year and is ranked in the top-20 in his weight class. You will argue all of these teams have excellent seniors, and while that may be true, the seniors are not the difference between the team having success and not. The majority of the starting lineups for each team consists of freshmen and sophomores. The first people off the bench are freshmen and sophomores. The future of these teams are the freshmen and sophomores, and it will continue to be. These programs continuously sign higher profile recruits, and the increase of young talent will only enhance each team’s chance of winning. If you don’t believe me, just ask coach Pat Fitzgerald, who took a team of young and inexperienced players and turned them into champions. Carmody said he’s tired of talking about the youth because he views his players as veterans already. So although the seniors get all the credit, it is the youthful revolution that has made the Cats successful.
