Students and Evanston residents of various religious backgrounds came together

in unity at Monday’s candlelit vigil to honor the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting on Saturday.

At the vigil, organized by Northwestern Hillel, students and Evanston residents gathered around The Rock

in hushed mourning. Many emotional attendees shared hugs after the event, which was attended by well over 700 people.

Aldermen approved — with one alderman texting in her vote — changes to the city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance that will increase the fee-inlieu payments for developers and require at least half of the affordable housing units be on site at Monday’s City Council meeting.

The changes come after residents voiced concerns of the strength of the ordinance, which was enacted in January 2016 following a spate of high rises that had been proposed in recent years. Last October, the city created the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance Subcommittee to amend the ordinance to more effectively require onsite affordable units.

“This is a big step forward for the City of Evanston and an appropriate step from our past inclusionary housing (ordinance),” Mayor Steve Hagerty said. “Recognizing that change counts gradually… I think tonight was a big important change here in Evanston.”

While the revised ordinance passed 8-1 — Ald. Robin Rue Simmons (5th) voted no

through a text to city manager Wally Bobkiewicz as she was home sick — some aldermen expressed concerns that the changes will still not effectively provide affordable units to families.

Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) chaired the subcommittee and said he was pleased they were eventually able to come to a consensus, but is wary of what the results will be.

“One of the reservations I’ve always had with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance is how it’s going to work in practice but we passed an ordinance and the majority has concluded that we’re going to try the programs of creating the units,” Wilson said. “I worry about this. I don’t know if it will work but I hope it does.”

The new ordinance, effective next year, more clearly defines expectations of affordable housing units for developers by requiring at least 5 percent of affordable housing units be on site and clarifying the site allowances developers may receive for providing the units, according to city documents.

Rue Simmons initially voted for the new ordinance at the meeting until the aldermen realized they had forgotten to define the income eligibility considerations. After they decided that all for-sale affordable units be sold to households earning at or » See COUNCIL, page 6

Over 70 residents gathered outside the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center Monday to protest a number of proposed budget cuts, chanting “prioritize our people, we shall not be moved.”

Attendees at the rally, which was co-organized by a number of churches and community organizations throughout Evanston, demanded a full accounting of the city’s budget process with a focus on its potential cuts to social services across the city.

Interfaith clergy leaders held a press conference on the steps of the civic center, addressing various proposed cuts to the city budget. Since its release at the beginning of October, the 2019 budget proposal has

garnered criticism from residents for proposed cuts and restructuring to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Youth and Young Adult Division and the possible closure of Evanston Fire Department Station 4 in the 2nd Ward.

The group labeled itself as POP — Prioritize our People — and focused on the human impact of the proposed budget cuts.

Rev. Michael Nabors, who represented the Second Baptist Church and the NAACP, said residents are aware of the deficit, but even more aware of the programs that would potentially be cut.

“Every citizen and resident of our town should be inspired,” Nabors said. “Inspired that they are in a town where our voices are heard. Inspired that they are in a town where our opinions matter, and inspired that we are in a town where the consent of the governed is the lynchpin for effective » See BUDGET, page 6

The Center for Native American and Indigenous Research will offer research fellowships for graduate and undergraduate students studying Indigenous populations for the first time this year, a sign the center is advancing its academic standing just five years after it was established.

“The way that the Northwestern community has encouraged, supported and collaborated with the new center has been very encouraging,” Provost Jonathan Holloway said in a news release. “I am excited by this progress and for what it suggests for the future.”

CNAIR was founded in 2013 after students in the Native American and Indigenous Students Alliance pushed Northwestern’s administration to acknowledge John Evans’ role in the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre,

in which at least 150 Native Americans were killed.

Since then, the University has been trying to increase the number of opportunities for Native American studies. The Indigenous Studies Research Initiative, announced in 2015, resulted in the hiring of two professors and a postdoctoral

fellow, and in 2016, Weinberg was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in order to support CNAIR. But NU isn’t the only university supporting this kind of research — in fact, some schools offer entire degree programs for Native and

Indigenous studies. University of Alaska, for instance, has a PhD program in Indigenous Studies. Some schools offer undergraduate programs, though NU isn’t currently one of them.

Dance Center Evanston celebrates 25th anniversary

By MELISSA PERRY

the daily northwestern

This year, Dance Center Evanston is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Founder Béa Rashid (Communication ’78) has created a community of current and former students that transcends dance, she said.

Rashid said she founded the studio after deciding to settle down with her family in Evanston. She was heavily involved with the dance community at Northwestern and said she credits her experiences on campus with helping spark her passion.

Dance Center Evanston has grown substantially in the past 25 years, Rashid said.

She started her studio in 1994 in a two room building on Davis Street, with just 70 students.

Now, the center offers 165 classes a week to over 700 students who are taught by an experienced faculty, she said. In 2004, the organization moved to its current location in west Evanston, at 1934 Dempster St., where they operate five studios, including a theatre to showcase the work of local artists.

However, the city’s recently proposed fiscal year 2019 budget may cut arts funding by $175,000.

While Dance Center Evanston is a business, its smaller dance company, Evanston Dance Ensemble, a non-profit organization, relies heavily on city funding, Rashid said.

“I want to visibly see arts support,” Rashid said.

“It can’t just be available to kids who can afford it.”

Calyn Carbery (Communication ’10), the current managing director of the studio, said she

“What I like about our program is that it’s progressive,” Carbery said., “(Our students) do their 45 minute class in creative movement and they explore level and shape and all these types of things at really young ages. As they get older the program grows with them.”

Carbery said a number of alumni from Dance Center Evanston have gone on to pursue successful careers as professional dancers. This past summer, Dance Center Evanston held a “Alum Pro Intensive” where alumni came back to teach current students, Carbery said.

Communication sophomore Gaby Godinez started taking class from the studio at the age of three and continued throughout high school. She teaches a tap class at Dance Center Evanston once a week, calling the studio a “staple of Evanston.”

“It has shaped so much of who I am,” Godinez said “It’s such a wonderful place to grow up.”

The theatre, Rashid said, also features other forms of art, including a spoken word series and a music series both highlighting local artists.

Though 90 percent of her students do not pursue professional dance careers, Rashid said her programs fosters creativity and allows them to see beyond themselves. “(Our students) will grow up to be tomorrow’s artists,” Rashid said.

Why professors have to use textbooks

In a world without textbooks, professors would have to create all the material for all their classes.

In theory, this is possible. In practice, it doesn’t always go so well.

Economics Prof. Scott Ogawa writes all the material for his intermediate microeconomics course, and believes that was a detriment to the quality of the class in his early years of teaching.

“I believe that, all else equal, having textbooks is better,” he said. “But is it two hundred dollars better? I think often the answer is probably no.”

Asking professors to create their own material would likely require some sort of financial incentive, and that’s money the University may be loath to spend. So as long as students are capable of paying, they do.

For those who can’t, the University steps in.

The Office of the Provost started Books for Cats, a program that helps low-income students afford STEM textbooks and course materials, during the 2017-18 academic year.

Books for Cats now provides the opportunity to borrow course materials for 51 STEM courses, and works with Norris Bookstore to have more used options available, said Miriam Sherin, the associate provost for undergraduate education.

“In most courses, the materials are essential for meaningful participation and learning,” Sherin said. “The Office of the Provost is committed to working towards affordable textbook options.”

But helping low income students with the costs of textbooks doesn’t get to the root of the problem, Ogawa said.

“The proper response from the University should not be to help subsidize your spending,” he added. “The response should be to re-jigger the incentives for faculty to make it where I have a personal incentive to stop (using textbooks).”

Financial aid for textbooks is kind of like financial aid for college itself; taking a chunk

A stack of textbooks in Norris Bookstore. Going without textbooks would be cost-effective, but it doesn’t come without its consequences.

of money off the sticker price doesn’t change the fact that the sticker price is still exorbitantly high.

Taking down textbook giants — or at least forcing them to charge less — is not a quick fix.

Creating unique material for a class is a lot of work for one professor, but many hands make light work. If multiple professors were to pitch in, a set of notes or resources may be much more easily attainable.

In his Engineering Analysis 3 class last spring, McCormick sophomore Thomas Simon made use of an online textbook of sorts — something he described as an anthology of notes and practice problems put together by professors and teaching assistants over the years. He said it’s

just as good as a textbook, but with the added benefit of being completely free.

McCormick Prof. Michael Peshkin said he originally wrote the EA3 book as a web document in 1997, and that it’s been added to and “improved” by faculty and TAs in the years since.

The keyword here, though, is years. The EA online resource wasn’t created overnight, and it would take a similar amount of time for any other department to do the same.

“I’m not sure if it’s worth the departments’ time to make such a dedicated resource where other textbooks are already available,” Simon said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reflection on Pittsburgh: Bearing witness to a hatred as old as time After 21 years of living in the United States and having never once been confronted with overtly violent anti-Semitism, it’s a strange and chilling thought to know that I was alive during the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the United States. I can only hope that other oppressed minorities, progressive pursuants of social justice and staunch believers in the unalienable freedoms of religion and expression as ordained by the U.S. Constitution are all similarly distraught, outraged and chilled to their core by the mere fact that they too indirectly bore witness to the deadliest attack on Jews in the history of our country.

In a new era in which mass shootings are — like the outbreak of a yearly flu — unfortunate events we callously await, perhaps the

utter shock I feel is naïve. Maybe my child-like incredulity is particularly naïve given that, just last year in Charlottesville, a hoard of white supremacists yelling, “the Jews will not replace us” received a lackluster condemnation from the commander in chief. Conceivably, I ought to have been prepared for such carnage in America given the reality from across the pond, where a mass exodus of Jews has taken place over the past 20 years, leaving behind ancient and increasingly empty synagogues that, if still in operation, are typically secured by armed guards, metallic fences and 24/7 video surveillance.

Or perhaps I should have foreseen such a massacre given the growing number of individuals who seek to enact violence against the State of Israel — the theoretical “safe haven” of the Jewish people.

I should have seen it coming. I should have noticed the trends. The mountain of damning evidence showcasing the growing issue of antiSemitism ought to have prepared me for such an event.

Regrettably, my shock has turned into fear. I

can’t help but feel an impending agony that the next Robert Bowers will enter my synagogue in Tulsa, Oklahoma; that next time my Rabbi will be all over TV; that it will be my family, friends and community that will be slain in a place I so purely associate with all of the joys, beauties and transitions of life. As far as we know, Robert Bowers did not have a particular gripe with the Tree of Life Congregation, no personal connection to any of its members and no unique qualms with the the specific community he targeted. There are Robert Bowerses everywhere around the country, but the Pittsburgh version of him decided to wreak havoc on the closest Jewish hotspot he could find, the vibrant and thriving community of Squirrel Hill.

The randomness — the lack of rhyme or reason — is what brews my fear.

Though the story of Saturday’s massacre cannot be told without reopening the gun control debate, reexamining our president’s rhetoric or analyzing America’s cultural propensity for violence, the Squirrel Hill slaughter is about a phenomenon that predates the second amendment,

Trump and violent video games. Hatred and persecution of Jews is a tale as old as time, and its reemergence in the world, specifically in the United States, above all else, is what must be understood about Saturday’s shooting.

My hope is that, as a result of the shock from Saturday, there will be a universal recognition of this unique form of hate — a hate that is historic in nature, that is gaining momentum in the current pendulum swing of history, and a hate that comes in many shapes, sizes and political ideologies.

Of course, next time I will not be shocked, and neither will you — but our stoic understanding of the gravity of anti-Semitism must reverse current norms where incidents are often met with dismissive inaction. If there is a bright spot to the horrors of Saturday morning, the world’s naivete about anti-Semitism — of which I myself am guilty — must dissolve into history in exchange for a heightened vigilance and steadfast recognition of one of humanity’s oldest iterations of hate.

A love letter to Northwestern’s brutalist architecture CLAY MILLS

DAILY COLUMNIST

There has been a recent desire at Northwestern to eradicate what the school is on an architectural level: a hot-spot of some of the most interesting Brutalist design in the Midwest. Buildings such as Norris University Center, Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, Donald P. Jacobs Center (Old Kellogg), Regenstein Hall of Music and, most famously, Northwestern University Library, are some of the best known examples of Northwestern’s Brutalism. The most recent attempt to erase what many consider to be a failed architectural movement are the plans to demolish Norris and replace it with the so-called New University Commons, a project currently in funding stasis. The New University Commons is only the newest development in NU trying to turn its campus of concrete into one of glass. This movement is dishonest and has an aura of elitism, a separation from the context and reality in which NU is situated.

Last year, my friends and I wandered campus with the ultimate goal of reaching the Lakefill.

However, upon reaching the intersection between the Block Museum and Pick-Staiger, we stopped in awe of Pick-Staiger in particular and the warm light emanating from inside. We admired the sense of naturalness it seemed to possess — with its comfortable tungsten lights glowing on a night coated in freezing mist — and the plants that seemed to naturally cradle the building. This stood in opposition to how utterly false and coincidental the Block felt: as if it was dropped down from the sky, able to exist anywhere because no context could possibly be derived from it. We were put off by the building’s implication that we had arrived in the ultimate intellectual future.

There is a hollow dishonesty in the glass edifices that currently make up a large portion of campus. They seem to scream out to us, “Here we are: the future! Aren’t you satisfied? Humankind has finally achieved the ability to create marvels effortlessly, constructed all from glass and shiny surfaces and particleboard!” But this is a lie. How can we possibly tell ourselves in our present, one diseased with crushing societal dread and collective ills, that, “yes, we have arrived.” What disgusting complacency we have reached if we can look on at our glass monuments and tell ourselves that we are, “living in the future,” that no more

improvement is necessary.

Yet, just as people did in the late ’70s and early ’80s with Brutalist architecture, people will soon turn to our Block Museums and our Seeley G. Mudd Libraries and Kellogg Global Hubs and simply say, “Huh — that’s ugly.” As they did with Brutalism, people will begin to develop a realization that these glass buildings are signifiers of a desirable future gone unfulfilled, just as the promises of an ideal future implied by Brutalism both in the East and West went unfulfilled as the West devolved into Reagan-era capitalist excess and the East devolved into despot-communism squalor.

These glass buildings further represent a culture built into Evanston as a whole, this big want of NU’s students and academics to create a wall of separation between themselves and the actual citizens living here. To further emphasize this divide between the University’s community and Evanston citizens, NU has created this false campus, separate from its environment, built at least in part to imply that both it and the people residing and working within it are better than the surrounding town. It does not exist as something part of the environment; it is noticeably apart from it. It gives off an ever-present disassociation that implies that while you are within it, you are

not part of the world as a whole.

So, rather than build new monuments to future disappointment and separation from the world, I propose an attempt by NU to embrace and re-contextualize its Brutalist past. Rather than viewing these buildings as ugly and oppressive and cold, we should view them as something of substance, permanence, warmth. They exist as a constant reminder of the now as well as the future: They are something planted here in the present, yet they also possess a permanence that suggests they will be here long after we’re gone. It’s easy to say that this re-contextualization is impossible, but it would be short-sighted to forget that Brutalism has already gone through a change of cultural context: as a once-optimistic symbol of the future to something representative of oppression and decay. It’s time to reclaim Brutalism once again in the face of its modern rejection.

Green card holders should be allowed to vote in the US MARCUS THUILLIER

DAILY COLUMNIST

With election season right around corner, I can hear the familiar sound of other students urging me to register to vote. Political ads pollute my television (can Illinois afford a governor going to jail, “again”) and there is a feeling of desperation amongst my generation. 2018 could be a defining election year. Yet, as a green card holder, I can’t vote.

This rule is not unique to the United States.

New Zealand and Chile are the only countries that allow non-citizens to vote in federal elections. As a French citizen, I voted in France’s presidential election in 2017, and I understand

why the United States cannot grant me the right to vote here. There are however, a few elements of being a green card holder that clash with that idea.

There are about 12.6 million green card holders residing in the United States currently, which makes up about four percent of the American population. An estimated 5.7 million American expatriates vote from overseas with their ballots counting in one of the 50 states. This means an American who lives outside of the United States and has lived there for many years, has a bigger voice in America’s democratic process than me, a person who has lived and studied here since 2011.

Expats pay taxes in the United States and probably have a connection to their home country like I do, so of course they should have a right to vote. Me, and every other green card holder, DACA recipient and immigrant overall all contribute financially to this country by paying taxes.

Some may say “Well, American citizens can serve in the army. They fight for our country.” Well, an estimated 18,700 green card holders also serve. I was signed up for the Selective Service a month before I turned 18, just like any other American citizen, as it is a mandatory step in the naturalization process. In case of the reinstitution of the draft (highly unlikely, I will give you that), I have just as many odds as any American to be drafted and sent to war. If the United States can send me to die, they could at least allow me to vote.

This is not just an American problem. My home country abides by the same rules. When you get a permanent resident card in France, you can stay and work for 10 years, join the army and, of course, pay taxes. But you cannot vote. When such a significant portion of the population contributes to your economy but are still disenfranchised from the country’s political life, it feels alienating.

I am not arguing for everyone to suddenly get the right to vote. But I have a permanent address in California, a temporary address here in Illinois and have paid my taxes for two years.

I also have been living in this country during each school year for the past seven years and have abided by every law the United States throws my way. If I have behaved like any other American citizen, why shouldn’t I get a vote in the election? This election matters for my future as much as anyone else’s in this country, so my voice should be heard.

MOD Pizza opens on ground floor of Norris University Center

If you’ve been missing The Kiln, you might be in luck. MOD Pizza opened this week on the ground floor of the Norris University Center, hoping to take the place of the once-beloved made-to-order pizza joint.

The Seattle-based chain is taking over a corner of the ground floor where seating, computers and a printing station used to sit. The Norris location offers pizza, salads, garlic bread and several beverages.

MOD will operate much like the Kiln did — start with your choice of crust and add an unlimited

amount of toppings before your pizza’s fired up. A regular crust MOD will set you back just under $10 after tax, though signature options are also available.

But how does it compare to The Kiln?

“It’s pretty expensive. I don’t think it’s worth 10 dollars,” McCormick junior Hannah Kim said. “The food overall, it’s not bad, it’s pretty good. But it’s so expensive, ridiculously expensive.”

McCormick junior Raymond Lee also said he’s not impressed.

“There’s an actual MOD Pizza in my hometown and it doesn’t taste close to the same as this,” Lee said. “I’ve had MOD in my hometown before and it’s not the same.”

Amy Li contributed reporting.

The jump is one of the rarest in the sport — it starts on a forward-facing takeoff and comprises three and a half rotations — and the only American woman to land it in international competition before Nagasu was Tonya Harding, back

The Norris University Center ice rink will not open this winter due to budget cuts, the latest University function to fall victim to the deficit.

The news comes as University officials attempt to fill a gap of what was once projected to be $62.5 million for last fiscal year. Administrators have said the updated figure should be known within the coming weeks.

Communication junior Jeremy Pesigan said some of his “fondest memories” at Northwestern were spent at Norris’ ice rink and added he was disappointed there won’t be one this year.

“There’s nothing that could replace the ice rink,” he said. “What am I gonna do now — skate on Lake Michigan?”

In announcing the cut, University spokesman in 1991.

Since going to the Olympics, Nagasu and teammate Adam Rippon appeared together on a special athletes season of Dancing with the Stars. Nagasu was eliminated in week three of the competition, while Rippon went on to win.

Bob Rowley said Northwestern is prioritizing attempts to minimize the impact on academic and research activities following the unexpected deficit that came earlier this year. The ice rink may be funded in the future, he added.

Northwestern opened the ice rink at Norris in winter quarter of 2011. University President Morton Schapiro proposed the idea in December 2010 after a student told him it was an old Northwestern tradition that ended prior to World War II. The rink was organized by the Facilities Management department, according to the Norris executive director, Jeremy Schenk. The department faced layoffs when the University decided to stall its constructions projects this year. Administrative departments were also told to cut 10 percent of its spending to combat its budget deficit.

“She said ‘yes, it would be an honor to come,’” You said.

She added that CSA will advertise the event to other groups and schools in the area to hopefully attract a wide audience. Nagasu will speak on Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. in Harris Hall. The event is free to Northwestern students.

VIGIL

From page 1 shooting was one of the deadliest against the Jewish community in United States history, The New York Times reported.

McCormick senior Joel Kirshner mourned as he spoke of his Squirrel Hill community in Pittsburgh.

“As we waited for the 11 names of the victims, I knew that our community would never be the same,” he said, surrounded by somber, candle-lit faces. “My loved ones were safe, but three little girls from my summer camp had lost their loving grandmothers. Two purely innocent adult brothers, (whom) my dad knew his entire life, would never again greet the congregants with smiling faces. These 11 losses will be felt forever.”

To Kirshner, the Tree of Life synagogue was a place of celebration and held some of his family’s happiest moments. As he woke up to the news of the shooting on Saturday morning, he said he felt a “sense of hopelessness that evil could penetrate a community that had always been so strong.”

Still, Kirshner finished his speech with a message of love. He said while the community mourns, there has also been an outpouring of support.

“In a world where time and time again we see the worst in humanity,” Krishner said, “there’s still so much love to be shared. Squirrel Hill is the face of that love.”

Rabbi Dov Hillel Klein, the leader of NU’s Tannenbaum Chabad House, said he was stunned by the number of attendees at the vigil and echoed Kirshner’s encouragement

hopeful that NU will offer undergraduates opportunities to study Indigenous curriculum. Medill Prof. Patricia Loew, CNAIR co-director, is working on adding an Indigenous Studies minor to Weinberg, said English Prof. Kelly Wisecup, one of CNAIR’s co-directors.

Because CNAIR is not a department, graduate research about Indigenous populations is currently done through the Native American and Indigenous Studies Cluster as part of the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.

This means that students in many different departments can have their research funded

by CNAIR as long as it pertains to Indigenous populations.

Wisecup said students in any field of study are eligible for a fellowship, so long as their research involves Indigenous peoples and communities.

Bonnie Etherington, for example, is a

for solidarity.

“Never have I seen a group of people with such solidarity,” Klein told The Daily. “I’ve never experienced anything like this. The Squirrel Hill shooting has touched the souls of so many people across the globe.”

The vigil opened and closed with Jewish song and prayer, led mostly by McCormick senior Brian Margolis.

Brandon Bernstein, Northwestern Hillel’s campus rabbi, urged the audience to focus on providing support and taking time to grieve.

“Tonight is about us being here together,” Bernstein said. “Remembering, sharing, lending a shoulder to a neighbor, so that those who need to can safely collapse into tears.”

Bernstein led a minute of silence after the reading of the victims’ names, which were also written on 11 empty chairs surrounding a tree

by The Rock. Student speeches, including Kirshner’s, followed the minute of silence.

McCormick sophomore Jonathan Frank, who is Lutheran, said he found it important to attend to show support for those most affected by the shooting.

“At my campus ministry we all wanted to go to show solidarity,” Frank told The Daily.

“Standing with people affected by the shooting shows that everyone is depending on love.”

Michael Simon, Northwestern Hillel’s executive director, thanked the attendees and offered hope for the future.

“May we come together many more times, in times of joy and in times of celebration,” he said. “And may we stand together, when another one comes.” alexwong2022@u.northwestern.edu graduate student studying activist narratives and poetry by Indigenous authors from Oceania. She’s non-Indigenous, but grew up in New Zealand, where she learned that “colonialism limits and erases stories about Indigenous peoples.”

Etherington is excited about the research grants, and thinks the promise of funding will encourage more students to study Indigenous populations.

She said she would be “enthusiastic” about seeing an Indigenous Studies department as well.

“I think CNAIR has done an incredible amount of work already to create space for such scholarship, and I really look forward to seeing how those efforts continue to evolve in the future,” Etherington qsaid.

Applications for the graduate research fellowship are open until Nov. 15; undergraduate applications are continuously open and fellowships are awarded on a rolling basis. cameroncook2021@u.northwestern.edu

COUNCIL From page 1

below 100 percent of the area median income, Rue Simmons voted against the amendment and the new ordinance.

The council could have opted to make half the affordable units sold to households earning at or below the 100 percent requirement and the other half sold to those whose incomes do not exceed 80 percent of the area median income.

Sue Loellbach, director of development at the nonprofit advocacy group Connections for the Homeless, told The Daily that the option the city did not choose would have made the units accessible to more lower-income families, but overall the ordinance is “way better than it was.”

“I don’t think it’s perfect yet,” Loellbach said.

“I don’t think we’re going to reach perfection. I would have liked to see those limits be a little bit lower, but overall I think it’s a good ordinance and the city came up with some really creative ways of making it effective.”

The ordinance also incentivizes developers to provide units as opposed to making a fee-in-lieu payment to the Affordable Housing Fund by increasing the payment for downtown developments to $175,000 per unit.

Some aldermen at the meeting and members of Reclaim Evanston — an organization that promotes racial, environmental and economic justice — said the council should increase the payment to $300,000 to maximize the money going to the Affordable Housing Fund and further incentivize developers to provide the units

BUDGET From page 1

government.”

Nabors said residents and aldermen should ask themselves what is more important to them — a balanced budget or “balanced families.”

Nabors weighed the city’s need to fill its projected $7.4 million budget deficit with needs of residents, and urged local leaders to advocate for a long-term solution to the budget process, not a quick fix.

He said Evanston should not try to “find an easier route to make ends meet rather than taking the long, arduous avenue that includes everybody.”

“My simple task is to say this along with every single person of goodwill in Evanston,” Nabors said. “We care for the less fortunate, we watch out for the distressed. We speak up for the voiceless. We are one Evanston. What happens to one person and one program affects every person and program.”

Rabbi Andrea London, of Beth Emet the Free Synagogue, echoed Nabors’ sentiments.

When Nabors began in the ministry, she said,

rather than make the payment.

Wilson said the subcommittee was concerned that raising the payment too high would cause developers to charge “unduly” rents.

Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) said increasing the payment to $300,000 could help provide funds to subsidize families to afford housing. She said while she will not oppose the changes, providing subsidies for people in need of affordable housing would be more efficient than the current system.

Rainey added that in the past few years, new developments have only produced about 43 affordable units, most of which are studios or one-bedrooms that are not suitable for families.

Ald. Melissa Wynne (3rd) added an amendment saying the council will revisit the changes in three years to see if any of the provisions need to be adjusted. Wynne added that aldermen should consider implementing Rainey’s plan for subsidies to help households afford two- and three-bedroom units that are “rare” for developers to provide as affordable units.

Wilson said he hopes the new ordinance will reduce angst in the community and decrease the chances of a developer proposing a project that is unlikely to succeed.

“We don’t want to keep developers away ... but I do know that two and a half years ago we had a pretty good line (of developers proposing projects), and I don’t think there’s a big line right now,” Wilson said. “Hopefully this will get some traction as far as creating some certainty and getting more passage.” samanthahandler2021@u.northwestern.edu he may have felt like he could change the world.

Now, he feels like he and other residents can change Evanston, and London said she stands with him.

“We’re going to be that shining example,” London said. “We are the power of the people to make this change. We are going to have a budget that says our value is that we love each other as we love ourselves.”

Pastor Daniel Ruen, of Grace Lutheran Church, said he wonders what the city would do if the interfaith communities across Evanston would cut their services, in a similar manner to the proposed budget cuts. He said the effect on the city would be great, and that city officials should look to these communities and the way they provide services.

“We are powerful, and it’s time for the city to recognize that we pick up a lot of their slack that they should be providing,” Ruen said. “We have a powerful voice to go into the city and say: ‘Look you say you can’t find money? You know what happens when we can’t find money? We do it anyway.’” karisch@u.northwestern.edu

MEN’S GOLF

Nyfjäll wins second-straight at weekend tourney

By PETER WARREN

daily senior staffer @thepeterwarren

Freshman David Nyfjäll’s autumn did not start on the best note. He slumped to a 4-over-par finish at the Windon Memorial Classic and 5-over score at the Marquette Invitational.

But as the leaves began to fall, the only thing that fell for the Sweden native were his scores.

Nyfjäll tied for first at the Chatham Hills Invitational two weeks ago, and followed it up with his second-straight individual title at the UNCG/ Grandover Collegiate in Greensboro, North Carolina this weekend.

“At the Windon I didn’t play too good but I knew (the game) was pretty close,” Nyfjäll said.

“I thought maybe I would be able to squeeze in a top-10 or something and play some better golf…I didn’t think I was going to win once, but I won twice. It’s a bit of a surprise, but a nice one.”

Behind a 3-under third round, Nyfjäll outlasted UNCG’s Nick Lyerly — who imploded to a 5-over final — to win the individual title at 5-under.

Nyfjäll started his tournament with a 2-under round before shooting even-par in the second round. He was one of the top 10 golfers on both par three and par five holes.

“The first round and the third round was really good,” Nyfjäll said. “My driver was pretty good both rounds and I think that is the key to playing good for me — to hit good drivers.”

Nyfjäll became the third NU golfer to win the UNCG/Grandover Collegiate. Last season, Dylan

Wu topped the tournament field while David Lipsky finished in first in 2010.

“Knowing that he was a really good player and I know he didn’t get off to the start he would have liked to his first few events — he just played average to not-that-great — but he just kept on sticking with it,” junior Everton Hawkins said.

“Winning his first event wasn’t really a surprise, but winning two in a row is pretty impressive.”

As a team, the Cats finished in third place at 17-over. While NU placed in the upper echelon of the field, it was not contention for the title. UNCG finished 12 strokes better at 5-over and was nine strokes ahead of the Cats before the beginning of the final round.

Hawkins was the second highest finisher for NU, shooting 4-over to finish in 14th place. Senior Ryan Lumsden and freshman Lucas Becht also finished in the top 40.

One of the biggest question marks for the the Cats heading into the tournament was how they would adjust to playing bermudagrass. Inglis said that the team did not do a good enough job with the surface, but that it was a good experience for the golfers.

“We are going to play quite a bit of bermudagrass this winter and spring and there’s always the potential of playing on bermudagrass for NCAA Regionals so we have to be prepared for those type of things,” Inglis said. “I think this experience will help us in that regard, even though in the short term it wasn’t ideal.”

The UNCG/Grandover Collegiate is the last tournament of the fall for NU. The Cats now have a break of over 100 days before the return to the announced in a news release on Monday.

Future Learning Collaborative, a Sony project to develop classroom technologies, aims to “foster open and candid dialogue among higher education institutions about the role of technology in supporting teaching and learning,” according to Sony’s website.

links for the spring season.

NU finishes the fall season with one team title, two more top-three finishes and three individual titles. While the finish was not was Inglis said he had in mind, it was still a good few weeks for the team.

“The encouraging thing for us was that our

good golf was really good this fall,” Inglis said. That gives us a lot of encouragement and motivation to know that we can achieve what we want and accomplish our goals. But at the same time, we weren’t consistent enough.”

soon begin sharing their findings with the rest of the higher education community, the release said.

The release described the effort as a “result of Sony’s decades-long commitment to providing creative products and solutions” in higher education. The company has helped manufacture products, create presentations and design new facilities on campuses in the past, according to the release.

“By working closely with Sony and our colleagues from a diverse group of institutions, we will

be better prepared to evaluate how learning spaces and technologies create deeper levels of student engagement and learning,” Bennett Goldberg, the assistant provost for learning and teaching, said in the release.

Indiana University, Dartmouth College and UC San Diego are among the other institutions that partnered with Sony.

Roberts claims second at Big Ten Championships

By TROY CLOSSON

daily senior staffer

Source: Northwestern Athletics

Aubrey Roberts leads a pack of runners. The junior finished in second at the Big Ten Championships.

Pack running, personal records and a program-best performance — Northwestern hit all three as the pieces came together on the brisk, bright morning of Sunday’s Big Ten Championships.

Improving for yet another year in team standings at the conference championships, the Wildcats took seventh overall, finishing with 200 points, 33 behind sixth-place Minnesota. The placement, led by a second-place finish by junior Aubrey Roberts, was the best since NU grabbed seventh at Big Tens in 2012.

“Winning (individually) was something I was always thinking about,” Roberts said. “There’s a lot of talented runners in the field and it can be anyone’s day any given race, but I just wanted to set myself up in the top group, try my best and see what happened.”

Her time of 19:58 was less than 10 seconds behind first-place finisher Alicia Monson from Wisconsin. Roberts — who placed sixth at last year’s Big Tens — went out with the lead pack through 1K, and gradually improved her place throughout the Mahoney Golf Course loop.

Coming into the race, Coach ‘A Havahla Haynes said there were two options — either someone would push the pace early on and Roberts would stay with them, or she’d have to do it herself.

“At 4K, we decided ‘you know what, there’s 12 girls there and it’s time for her to start pressing,” Haynes said. “‘If we can drop a 3:00 to 3:10 K, she should be able to take most of the field away from her.’”

And that’s exactly what Roberts did.

She crossed the 5K in first — with Monson .01 seconds behind — as the two gained distance on what was once as a tight clump of runners. Through the final straightaways, Roberts battled with the Wisconsin junior before falling behind to still break 20 minutes and snag a career personal best.

Her runner-up placement marks the best finish for a Northwestern runner at Big Tens in program history and earned Roberts a second consecutive First-Team All-Big Ten nod.

The Wildcats, Haynes said, came to Lincoln grappling with a range of illnesses; yet, they walked away posting one of the strongest performances from their top six runners of the season.

Behind Roberts, fellow junior Sarah Nicholson took 36th individually after finishing in 21:06. Freshman Sielle

Kearney placed 51st with a time of 21:35, followed closely by senior Isabel Seidel and freshman Rachel McCardell who crossed the line in 61st and 63rd, respectively.

NU finished well ahead of eighth place Ohio State after the squad was outshined by the Buckeyes — falling 25 points behind them — at NCAA PreNationals earlier this month. Each of the six teams beating the Cats in overall standings were ranked top-25 nationally coming into the weekend affair.

Moving up to fourth in regional rankings, NU now sits behind Big Ten foe Minnesota, as well as Oklahoma State and Iowa State.

Approaching the Nov. 9 NCAA Midwest Regional, Nicholson said the newcomer-heavy squad will look for its freshmen to continue making a difference. Challenging the Golden Gophers to make a run at an NCAA Championships bid, she said, sits atop NU’s priorities.

“They’re really strong but (we’re going to) focus on the depth of our team and making sure our three through five runners are staying in contact with theVm,” Nicholson said. “If we’re able to, that gives us a good shot at Nationals.” closson@u.northwestern.edu

Coach’s former player NU collects another Big Ten win gets big promotion 0 Ohio State

By ANDY MARQUARDT

By ELLA BROCKWAY

daily senior staffer @ellabrockway

During Tim Lenahan’s 28-year career at the helm of Stockton University, Lafayette and Northwestern, he has watched numerous players go on to professional careers in leagues all around the world, from Major League Soccer to top divisions across Europe.

Another name was added to that list Monday afternoon, as one of Lenahan’s former players, Santiago Solari, was announced as the interim manager at one of the world’s biggest clubs, Real Madrid.

“We have a lot of former coaches and a couple players that are out there coaching at college and a couple in the pros, but this is really something special,” Lenahan told the Daily. “(I’m) really proud of him and this amazing opportunity.”

Solari played for one season under Lenahan at Stockton in 1994, and went on to a distinguished career as a midfielder in some of world soccer’s top leagues. In 2002, he became the first former U.S. college soccer player in history to appear in a UEFA Champions League Final, playing the full 90 minutes and helping Real Madrid to a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen as Lenahan watched from the stands.

After the match, Lenahan said, he and Solari went out to dinner and lifted the Champions League trophy together.

Lenahan and Solari have stayed in touch over the last 24 years. In 2013, a team of Wildcats players faced off against Solari and a squad of professionals in a charity match sponsored

by Argentine superstar Lionel Messi at Soldier Field.

As Solari finished his playing career and eventually transitioned into his role as Real Madrid’s reserve team coach, their professional exchanges continued.

Lenahan has visited Solari in Spain several times in the past few years, observing training sessions and even watching current NU freshman and Real Madrid academy product Jose del Valle play on his most recent visit.

While Lenahan and Solari both now stand on vastly different stages of the soccer world — Lenahan, in his 18th year as coach at NU, and Solari, now in charge of one of the world’s most popular sports brands with three consecutive Champions League titles to its name — the player-coach friendship that began in 1994 hasn’t changed.

“Here’s a guy who played for me for one year, 24 years ago,” Lenahan said.

“What’s really been cool for me and how it helps me is (that) the relationship with your college coach doesn’t end whenever you stop playing.” ellabrockway2021@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern dominated in a threeset victory over Ohio State on Sunday in its final game at Evanston Township High School’s Beardsley Gym. The Wildcats handed the Buckeyes their fourth straight loss Sunday. Following its five-set thriller over Iowa on Wednesday, NU (13-11, 3-9 Big Ten) is on its first Big Ten win streak of the season after Sunday’s sweep over Ohio State (12-12, 3-9 Big Ten).

NU held the Buckeyes to a mere .136 attack percentage, forcing 18 attacking errors and blocking six kills in a solid defensive effort. Coach Shane Davis said the Cats successfully executed their gameplan in the win.

“We did a great job of serving and passing,” Davis said. “We were able to serve them out of system, which allowed us to be good with our blocking defense and transition.”

In addition, NU utilized a very balanced offensive showing in the win.

Highlighted by sophomore middle hitter Alana Walker, five different Cats had at least five kills throughout the match.

It was Walker who came away as the standout performer for NU, though.

Walker had an efficient 10 kills on 14 total attempts, including several clutch kills in both the second and third sets, and a victory-securing block over Ohio State’s Vanja Bukilić.

“We knew we’d have to come in and dominate from the start, and bring a lot of energy,” Walker said. “We jumped on them from the first serve, and had a lot of confidence.”

After jumping on early leads and cruising to dominant wins in the first two sets, the Cats and Buckeyes exchanged points back and forth throughout much of the third set. After eight ties and three lead changes, NU found itself tied with Ohio State at 19 before pulling away and winning seven of the final eight points to close out the match.

Arena underwent a $110 million renovation. The new Welsh-Ryan Arena is set to open this week, and host the remaining four home matches for the Cats.

“Welsh Ryan Arena is going to be an amazing experience for our team and our fans,” Davis said. “We’re really excited to get things going in there.”

As excited as the team is to move into Welsh-Ryan, Walker and freshman outside hitter Ella Grbac both said they will cherish the memories

the team made at Beardsley Gym over the last year.

“We’ve made a ton of memories in this locker room (at Beardsley)” Walker said. “It’s a really homey space that’s been nice to play at.”

The Cats will look to use the momentum of their last two victories as they continue to improve in conference play. NU’s next game comes at Maryland on Nov. 2, before heading to Columbus to once again battle Ohio State.

“We have a ton of confidence going into our next game against them,” Grbac said. “This was a really good win to have under our belt.” andrewmarquardt2021@u.northwestern. edu
