Risen talks national security By SHANSHAN ZHANG

Journalist James Risen, who said the FBI spied on him while he was writing a book about post-9/11 America, told journalism students Friday they should view the government
skeptically. “Remember to take time to dig in deeper,” he said. “That, to me, is the thing that is getting lost today. People are not willing to just push back.” Risen (Medill ‘78), a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for his reporting on national security, criticized journalists’ coverage of the Islamic State, as well as discussed his
experience reporting on the Central Intelligence Agency. More than 40 people attended the event, held at the McCormick Foundation Center Forum. The event was part of a daylong symposium hosted by the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications » See PULITZER, page 6
The owner of Dave’s Italian Kitchen, which closed its location on Chicago Avenue last month, will no longer pursue a loan from the city and will instead rely on individual donations to help fund a new restaurant on Noyes Street. “This is easier and it’s more politically palatable,” Dave Glatt said. “The only people we’re getting money from are people who are a) getting something in return and b) have voluntarily donated.” After the 44-year-old Evanston restaurant shut its doors April 11 due to financial woes and profit loss, Glatt said he worked with the city to find a new, smaller space for the restaurant. The city subsequently offered him a nearly $30,000 loan for kitchen equipment — approved by the Economic Development Committee and scheduled for a vote by
City Council on May 9 — but Glatt said he did not end up needing the money. Instead, he started an online fundraiser which by Sunday night had received about a quarter of its $21,000 goal. The decision to turn down the city’s money came after Glatt said he received a donation of kitchen equipment from a friend, which reduced his financial need. He added that he did not want to deal with the paperwork of a new loan despite the city’s generous lending rates. “This project began with the city beckoning to me and so explicit in that was that they would arrange some kind of financing,” he said. “I thought that would have just been it.” Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) said crowdfunding seemed like the “most appropriate” way to handle raising money for the new restaurant. Wilson, who sits on the Economic Development Committee but was not present at the April meeting, said he has consistently voted down loans to Evanston businesses. “Public money is not for investing in private businesses,” he said. “The » See DAVE’S, page 6
Prof talks origns of racism at Buffett Institute event By MATTHEW CHOI
daily senior staffer @matthewchoi2018
The West did not begin to reject racism until it affected Europeans, Weinberg Prof. Barnor Hesse argued at his talk Friday hosted by the Buffett Institute for Global Studies. During his talk, “Racism’s Alterity,” Hesse described how the West grew to reject certain aspects of racism in the mainstream by discussing the origins, evolution and current state of contemporary racism. Political science Prof. Brian Hanson, director of research and strategic planning at the

Buffett Institute, introduced Hesse at the beginning of the talk, which was followed by a Q&A with the audience of about 80 people. Hesse, who teaches in the departments of African American studies, sociology and political science, focused on racism in the context of World War II, Nazism and colonialism to illustrate its evolution on a global scale. “(Critiquing racism) emerges at the point of wanting to critique the violation of white populations, so that its conceptual lineage has little to nothing to do with non-white populations,” Hesse said. Hesse described the history of racism, arguing racism in its current form
began in the 1890s in the context of anti-Semitism and nationalism in Europe. The word racism, Hesse said, originally referred to the belief in the existence and significance of one’s race, then often synonymous with one’s nationality. Western powers began to reject racism during World War II, Hesse said, as Nazi Germany began to colonize the rest of Europe, treating Jewish and Slavic people as subhuman. Hesse said this rejection of racism, however, was restricted to white people and did nothing to confront their own beliefs of white supremacy exercised in colonizing parts of Africa and Asia. “The western, liberal, colonial
regimes, in order to critique Nazism, is making the implicit argument (Jewish people) are white, and you’re violating white populations,” Hesse said. “Because if they conceded that they were not white … they would have to say something about all of the nonwhite populations who were being violated with colonialism.” Hesse said the fear of colonization of Europe that was not matched with an equal resentment toward colonization of people of color represents the Western-centered views on racism in the early 20th century. These ideas based in colonialism continue to influence contemporary understanding of racism today.
Hanson said he appreciated the global view of racism Hesse provided. An international understanding of racism in the world aligns with the mission of the Buffett Institute in educating on global issues, he said. “One of the things the Buffett Institute tries to do is to link people together in new ways,” Hanson said. “And one of the things I hope we’ve accomplished with this is get people … to be introduced in the way that Barnor is thinking about these things, to be able to hopefully then engage in dialogue.” Weinberg sophomore Callie Leone
called a delayed public response to the recent Sexual Assault Awareness Month banners controversy. In its statement, PHA noted the effort was well-intentioned, but that it was “triggering and silencing” for women affected by sexual violence. “Over the last week, we have come to fully comprehend the negative
consequences of our silence,” the PHA executive board said in the email. “We sincerely apologize to every member of the Panhellenic community that we hurt and disappointed with our lack of immediate response.” NU Interfraternity Council faced criticism for banners that several
fraternities hung outside their houses with messages such as “It’s everyone’s problem” and “We support survivors.” Some students criticized the banner effort, saying IFC should do more to combat sexual assault. PHA announced that it will host a community forum Monday evening for PHA members to voice their
concerns and offer feedback to PHA’s executive board, the email said. PHA’s executive board will also meet with IFC’s executive board Monday evening to discuss the campaign’s impact and how to move forward.

On Campus A&O Benefit concert returns outdoors despite winds By ALLYSON CHIU
the daily northwestern @_allysonchiu
Not even a brisk wind could stop an annual concert benefiting Dance Marathon from taking place outdoors Saturday. Students huddled in groups on Norris University Center’s East Lawn, and performers donned heavy jackets — but the show went on. Unlike last year, when rain forced the concert indoors, inclement weather was not an issue organizers had to worry about as more than 100 people came out, said A&O spokeswoman Caroline Kelly, a Communication junior. The concert is a collaboration between A&O Productions and Dance Marathon to raise awareness about next year’s DM and kick-off fundraising for its yet-to-be-announced beneficiary. “The purpose of it is to raise money for an organization that does good on campus while also providing great indie music for campus, so we see it as a two-part benefit,” Kelly said. The event featured performances by Los Angelesbased rock band Gun Outfit, who opened for the show’s headliner, Canadian indie rock band TOPS. The groups were selected because their “fun”
music suits a daytime outdoor show, said A&O concerts chair Ben Shear, a Weinberg junior. Admission was free, but DM volunteers dressed in their signature yellow bibs and gathered donations as they mingled with attendees. Games of cornhole were also arranged and added to the festive atmosphere, said DM spokeswoman Katharine Currault, a Medill junior. “Everyone is enjoying the sun and chill music,” Currault said during the concert. “I don’t think there was a great turn out last year, so I’m happy with how many people are here.” Last year’s concert, which featured the alt-pop band Vacationer and Chicago soul group The O’My’s, was held in Norris University Center’s Louis Room due to inclement weather. Although Benefit is one of the smaller events A&O produces during the year, its philanthropic goal makes the time and effort worthwhile, Kelly said. “A&O’s mission is to bring great entertainment to campus,” she said. “When we can do more than just bring music to campus, but also try and raise money for organizations, it endues what we do with even more meaning.” allysonchiu2018@u.northwestern.edu

Women, millennials who code face challenging road SARA HALLORAN
DAILY COLUMNIST
Recently, tech developer Mili St. John penned an excellent takedown of her father, prominent tech personality Alex St. John. Alex St. John’s misogyny and disdain for young people shines through almost immediately in a presentation about recruiting young coding talent. He paints a landscape of software engineers helpless to the whims of their domineering wives and girlfriends, acknowledging “NOT male engineers” only when backhandedly praising their “stronger social skills.” Alex St. John also warns against hiring the “wage slave,” or young people who “see their job as WORK that they need to do in order to pay their bills.” In the process of discrediting her father’s insulting claims, Mili St. John makes a series of cogent points about the numerous challenges women and young adults in general face in their paths toward technical careers.
I am one of the “girls who code” who, like Mili St. John mentions, almost slipped through the cracks. Growing up with liberal arts-inclined parents who knew absolutely nothing about computer science, coding was never even a thought as a child. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the minority of American public high schools that offers AP Computer Science, yet even with my aptitude for math, I was never once encouraged by teachers or counselors to try it out. In fact, I had never met anyone from my town, the poorest of my high school’s sending districts, who had taken a computer science class — the students on that track were almost entirely white, male and unknown to me. Accordingly, I entered college completely ignorant of computer science, intending to declare a mathematics major. It was only after my freshman year at Northwestern, investigating my reluctance to spend even more money to earn a master’s in math in the future, that it occurred to me that picking up some coding skills could be a good career move. One year later, I am completely immersed in coding and interning this summer at the very same company where Mili St. John
works. I am probably not the model female coder: I can’t claim to be naturally talented at computer science, and it is still too early to tell whether it is my passion. I also don’t possess any sort of exceptional social skills, which Alex St. John argues are the redeeming quality of women in tech. All I know is that I enjoy coding, and by the time I graduate, I’ll be employable. I feel slightly uneasy adopting this money-minded, slightly apathetic attitude toward my postgraduate plans, but my top priority is making enough to pay off my student loans. I have plenty of reasons to be discouraged about my choice of study: I have very few female peers, I entered computer science so late it will be extremely difficult for me to complete a math-computer science double major within four years and, above all, computer science is time-consuming and hard. But if I decide to drop coding, suddenly I’m succumbing to my “victim complex” — something a man who decides to pursue other career paths doesn’t have to worry about. To be clear, I have no intentions to abandon coding, but I understand why women in similar situations to mine do.
According to Alex St. John, I am not planning on entering tech for the right reasons, which is why Mili St. John’s article resonates so strongly with me. If I end up obtaining a technical position, I, too, will be concerned about my paycheck — god forbid! No matter how much I enjoy my job, it will still be work, and I may just be average at it. Yet I am far from a coddled “wage slave.” In fact, any woman who has persisted in obtaining a computer science degree can hardly be called sheltered. I can be relevant without being some engineer’s “wife or girlfriend.” In two years, I, just like every other recent college graduate, will simply be trying to make a living; if that makes me one of “the useless” programmers that Alex St. John denounces, then so be it.

We foster apathy, not sympathy toward homeless people CAROLINE VAKIL
DAILY COLUMNIST
Oftentimes when we talk about homeless people, it’s in the context of a humanities course teaching us the effects of America’s inequalities or in our discussions of national politics. There seems to be a common theme to how these discussions usually go: We talk about the injustices in our society and government and how they contribute to issues like homelessness. Then we leave the classroom sympathetic, upset and disgusted at the world — inspired to change our country’s wrongdoings in years to come. But when class is done, all our emotional outrage and sympathy dissolves once we walk down the streets of Evanston. We walk past homeless people on Sherman Avenue who beg for change, completely ignoring them
and their troubles. More homeless people can be spotted around Church Street and we continue on our merry way, ignoring them, too. And the next day we’ll go to our humanities class and start the cycle all over again. These occurrences did not bother me; they felt completely normal. Hearing people on the street ask for money annoyed me, and I made the sad assumption they were lazy people who were not trying to find a job or make their life better in any way. Everything I had learned in my humanities courses went out the door because the sad truth was that I was only buying the idea of it, but not the real problem itself. The problem, though, with how we discuss these issues is that it requires us to not only see the concept of what it means to be homeless, but to also understand the humanity of it. Homelessness, among many issues, is not a problem where we can simply go to class, argue about all of its effects and assume that the situation will stop there. We need to make a connection between the
The Drawing Board: Feeding Time
concept and how it affects us in our daily lives, otherwise we will maintain a cognitive dissonance in how we talk about these types of issues. That means maintaining a respectful and understanding attitude toward homeless people in our community. Many of us walk past them and act like they don’t exist because that’s easier than acknowledging their existence and their troubles. I’m not suggesting that we have to give them change every time they ask for it because that’s only a band-aid to the problem. However, we need to treat them with dignity and respect because it is vital to connect the issue of homelessness with the faces of those affected. Homeless people have just as much of a right to be part of our community as we do, and this sentiment is only meaningful if we act on it. The truth is the only people that convince ourselves to change our attitudes on social issues is ourselves. However, I want us to challenge our community to rethink the
by Eli Sugerman
discussions we’ve had in class and reevaluate how much of an impact these courses have truly had on how we understand inequalities and social injustices. Part of engaging in our courses is continually stepping outside of our comfort zone and going beyond philosophical arguments to actually engage in issues outside of the classroom. At the end of the day, homelessness is not a social issue that we have in our class discussions, but a deeply emotional problem that affects so many people in the U.S. We need to treat these issues with the respect and thoughtfulness they deserve or they will continue to be only a concept and not an problem we engage in to solve for the better.

During a Q&A session with Medill Prof. Timothy McNulty, Risen said some journalists’ coverage of ISIS amounts to “fear mongering.” “The rise of ISIS has made people very willing to accept whatever the government says about terrorist threats, and it’s almost as if we are back to square one after 9/11,” Risen said. “When the government says ISIS is 10 feet tall, the press is very prompt in saying, ‘Yes, they are 10 feet tall.’” A New York Times reporter, Risen won the

He is also the author of four books, including two that focus on the CIA. Risen — who has covered the CIA for most of his career — said reporting on the intelligence agency is difficult.

capitalize on hard-earned possessions, committing key turnovers in the midfield and attacking sphere. Despite a frenzied, last minute pair of goals for the Cats, Maryland’s run proved to be too great. In a game of nearly-identical statistics, senior attacker Kaleigh Craig said that it was momentum shifts that cost the Cats the game. “In any game, momentum goes back and forth,” Craig said. “In those moments, we just have to keep ourselves steady and tell ourselves
that we can get it back.” Defeat aside, Sunday’s matchup displayed a marked improvement for the Cats. In the teams’ last three meetings before Sunday, Maryland had outscored NU 50-14. Esposito said this improvement is indicative of something the team has been saying all year: Their best lacrosse is yet to come. “This game showed that we are getting there,” Esposito said. “I think that capitalizing off our mistakes and lessons learned in this game will help us get there.” clairehansen2018@u.northwestern.edu
for secrecy purposes, as the government can use many electronic ways to do surveillance today. “Almost any relationship you have will have some electronic trace,” Risen said. “If they really want to come after you, they can come after you.” Risen said the most challenging point in his career came when he was subpoenaed by the Justice Department for a leak investigation in 2008. He spent the next seven years resisting an order to testify and reveal his sources, he said, despite the Bush and Obama administrations threatening to jail him for not complying. The government’s threats led to bouts with depression, Risen said, but support from his wife Sara Glatt started working at her father’s restaurant as a teenager and continued off and on for about 15 years. She told The Daily in an email she decided to take over the project to “help (her) father in a very difficult time.” “Due to his subsequent unemployment, I have started a business to get him back to work and get his food back to our beloved patrons,” she wrote on the restaurant’s fundraising page. “I love my parents but do not want them living with me!” Now on its fourth move to a fifth location,

The Cats couldn’t capitalize on their shots within the 8-meter-arc, which proved to be the difference. NU outshot Maryland 26-19 in the game but the Cats were much less efficient, dooming the team in the conference title game. NU finished with nearly identical statistics
and fellow journalists helped him cope. Roy Harris (Medill ‘68, ‘71), who wrote a book about the Pulitzer Prizes, said he proposed the event to Medill Dean Brad Hamm to celebrate the 100th year of the awards. Harris said the high number of Medill alumni that have won Pulitzers also helped inspire the event. Weinberg sophomore Mackenzie Eisen, who attended the event, said she is a big fan of Risen. “He’s one person I really admire in the field,” Eisen said. “He almost went to jail to protect people’s freedom of speech.” shanshanzhang2019@u.northwestern.edu Dave Glatt said he hoped the new restaurant would launch in late May. Nevertheless, he added, there were still some obstacles like layout in the much smaller location, acquiring additional kitchen equipment and building a new menu. “I’m new to all of this,” he said. “There is no premeditated plan. … The new place is a work in progress and I’m feeling my way through it myself. … With every day something new comes up.” davidpkfishman@u.northwestern.edu as the Terrapins, and even won the draw control battle, but the team’s transition defense and missed opportunities in the second half proved detrimental.

MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH
NU comes up short in Big Ten title game By CLAIRE HANSEN
daily senior staffer @clairechansen
When playing an undefeated team, you have to be perfect. On Sunday, the Wildcats fell just short of that mark. No. 1 seed Maryland (190, 5-0 Big Ten) edged No. 3 seed Northwestern (10-9, 3-2) 12-9 in the Big Ten Tournament championship at Martin Stadium in a fierce battle of possession and momentum. The perennial powerhouses — who combined have won 10 of the last 11 national championships — had four ties and lead changes in the title game before the Terrapins pulled away on a 5-0 run in the second half. With the loss, the Cats are not granted an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament but remain eligible for tournament play with a record above .500. Earlier in the season, the Terrapins dominated the Cats 17-4; Sunday’s game saw a much more even playing field, with the game decided by a handful of turnovers and missed opportunities. “Definitely proud of the way my girls played today, they fought hard,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. “I think that, especially early on, we didn’t take advantage of some opportunities and later in the game, same thing. We were down by a couple goals and couldn’t put things away.”
5-0 run by Maryland dooms Wildcats
The Cats started the game aggressively. After freshman goalie Mallory Weisse nabbed two point-blank saves, sophomore midfielder Selena Lasota dodged her way around the Maryland defense and finished in front of the crease. From there, it was a game of runs. Maryland rocketed out on a 4-0 run before NU battled back to regain a 5-4 lead, winning a series of draw controls and tallying 4 goals in 2 and a half minutes.
“We just told ourselves that we had nothing to lose,” junior attacker Christina Esposito said. “It wasn’t so much of a team adjustment, but a mentality that we were going to keep pushing no matter what.” After trading goals back and forth with Maryland, Esposito found junior attacker Danita Stroup on the crease to tie the game 7-7 early in the second half. Over the next 13 minutes, Maryland methodically scored 5 times, including a controversial goal to begin the run. The Cats, on the other hand, were unable to

Going into halftime, Northwestern was tied 6-6 with the No. 1 team in the country. But a Wildcats upset bid seemed too good to be true as their quest for a championship died in the second half. After finishing the first half on a 5-2 run, No. 3 seed NU (10-9, 3-2 Big Ten) couldn’t hold on to give No. 1 Maryland (19-0, 5-0) its first loss in over a year. The Big Ten Tournament championship match was a game of runs, and the Terrapins ultimately got the better of the Cats. Despite scoring the first goal of the game, NU then immediately conceded 4 straight goals to Maryland, digging the team into what seemed to be an insurmountable hole. But junior attacker Christina Esposito took advantage of her opponent’s defensive tactics to bring the team back
into the game. “(The double team on Lasota) plays into our hand,” Esposito said. “If they’re going to go man up on one side of the field then that just means that our backside is open and we know that. That’s just part of our game plan, so as long as we stay calm and execute that really helps us.” Following the Terrapins’ 4-goal run, Esposito and the Cats answered back with a 4 unanswered goals of their own, reclaiming the lead for NU. But the Cats didn’t have an answer for Maryland in the second half. Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said the game was filled with swings, but the difference was that the Terrapins were able to make the most of their possessions in the second half. “We had a couple of tough plays, a couple of tough calls — there was a lot of things that went into it,” Amonte Hiller said. “They were able to shut down some of the things that we went for. Then when they went down there … they were able to capitalize.” Maryland opened up the second half with a devastating 6-1 run from which NU could not claw its way back. The Cats struggled in transition and had difficulty » See RUNS, page 6
Northwestern wins NCAA Regionals by 18 strokes By JOSEPH WILKINSON
the daily northwestern @joe_f_wilkinson
After their Big Ten Championship victory in April, the main question facing the Wildcats was whether they could match the play of teams across the nation heading into the NCAA Championships. Their 18-stroke victory at the NCAA Regional in Shoal Creek, Alabama, answered that question with a resounding yes. “It was a great three days,” coach Emily Fletcher said. “The girls played amazing. They just kept fighting all week. The golf course was very, very difficult, and they just lapped the field.” As the team dominated the field, the individual championship came down to the wire with freshman Janet Mao sharing the title with Florida State junior Matilda Castren and California freshman Marianne Li. All three finished at 4-over par. This is only the third tournament where Mao’s score has counted toward Northwestern’s team total, and the Cats have won two of those three. “It was really exciting,” Mao said. “I wasn’t expecting it at all. I was just hoping to play well and contribute to the team, and it was really a pleasant surprise.” Mao wasn’t the only one with strong play this weekend, as junior Kacie Komoto finished only 2 strokes back of the leaders in fourth place, while sophomore Sarah Cho tied for ninth and freshman Stephanie Lau claimed 14th.

REGIONAL POWER A Northwestern golfer chips her ball onto the green. The Wildcats won their regional by 18 strokes.
Big Ten Player of the Year sophomore Hannah Kim was the only Cat who didn’t finish in the top 20, tying for 36th after shooting 16-over on Friday. Although NU finished the tournament an unflattering 23 strokes over par, its score was significantly better than second place Florida
State, which shot 41-over. The Jack Nicklausdesigned course gave all teams problems, as last place Alabama State finished 142-over par. “It was a tremendous venue, really a spectacular place and amazing conditions, just really difficult,” Fletcher said. “It was a really long course. There were severe greens, fast greens,
windy conditions. You name it, they had it.” Despite the difficulties, the Cats provided a plethora of stats proving they were easily the best team in Alabama. NU’s three rounds were the best played by any team at the tournament. The team had the best scores on par-3s and par-5s and was second on the par-4s. Komoto and Cho were second and third in the tournament in pars — no small feat on a course where the winning team was 23-over. But the high scores didn’t stop Mao from making nine birdies, tied for second most in the tournament. Komoto’s consistency had her tied for the individual lead heading into Saturday, but a small drop in form led to a fourth-place finish. “The first two days I made some really great par putts,” Komoto said. “My putting was pretty good the first two days. I made a lot of 8, 9, 10 foot putts for par, but I just didn’t get those rolling in on the last day.” With the victory, NU qualified for the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, in two weeks to take on the best teams in the country. Last year, the Cats came up just short of the match-play round in the tournament, finishing 10th, and this year they’ll be looking to improve on that result. “It’s just gonna give some confidence that we’re competing well right now,” Fletcher said. “Everyone will tell you that their game wasn’t perfect, but they’re just figuring out how to keep fighting and how to keep pushing through and making the most of the round.” josephwilkinson2019@u.northwestern.edu
