Deficit to continue into next year ‘Perfect storm’ led to budget shortfall, Schapiro says

ETHS hosts two MSD students Forum features students sharing personal experiences, slam poetry

In the latest in their efforts to start conversations about gun reform across the country,

two Parkland activists stopped at Evanston Township High School Wednesday night, partnering with local students to perform and discuss gun violence.

The event, which included students sharing personal

experiences and performing slam poetry, was a joint effort between the Democratic Party of Evanston and ETHS students. It brought together locals, youth leaders from Saint Sabina Church in Chicago and two students from

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

In February, 17 people were shot and killed at Stoneman Douglas. The mass shooting » See STONEMAN, page 6

University President Morton Schapiro said Wednesday that the current fiscal year, which started several weeks ago, is expected to run a deficit, prolonging what called the “unexpected” $62.5 million budget shortfall that began earlier this year.

During an interview with The Daily, the president lamented the University’s dismissal of 80 staff members in July, adding that at least 80 additional vacant positions were also eliminated.

“It was excruciating, it really was,” he said. “And I feel sorry for people who lost their job.”

Schapiro said the

decisions on who to let go were made “very carefully.”

Many of them, he said, were high-level supervisors for construction projects, which the University has slowed down after the campus has changed dramatically in recent years with the addition of buildings like the Kellogg Global Hub. “Some of it was more natural, and some of it was harder but we looked at it very carefully, making sure that by gender, and by any other metric, making sure we weren’t doing anything unfair,” Schapiro said. “Obviously every time we eliminate a position, for someone who’s at a high level, supervisory, making a lot of money with salary and benefits, that’s two more lower-level people. We try to take a look at the range of different salaries.”

NU students flock Compass cuts nuts from dining halls to new restaurant New food service provider aims to accomodate students with allergies 10Q chicken offers selection of chicken based menu items

By ETHAN SHANFELD

the daily northwestern @shhaarky

Beware all Chicken Shack lovers: there might be a new king of chicken in town.

A new restaurant called 10Q Chicken opened in downtown Evanston in late August, offering Northwestern students a new dining option that hosts a selection of chicken-based menu items.

David Yoo, who also owns Chicago clothing store Belmont Army, collaborated with Will Song, owner of Chicago-based Korean fast food joint bopNgrill, to create 10Q, combining Yoo’s background in retail with Song’s culinary expertise.

Together, the pair developed the 10Q menu over the

past year.

“We really wanted to do something different and better than your typical fast, casual restaurant,” Yoo said.

Nestled between a bank and an investment firm, 10Q is located at 816 Church St., just a few blocks from campus. Yoo said he and Song also looked at potential locations in Hyde Park and Rogers Park for their restaurant, but they ultimately settled on the Evanston spot.

Since Northwestern’s academic year began last week, Yoo said he’s noticed a lot of students coming in.

“They’re very busy. They’re doing great in the new market,” said Laura Brown, Downtown Evanston’s business development and marketing manager. “The times that I’ve passed by, they’ve had lines and people passing by in the cafe.”

Northwestern dining halls have become nut-free this fall to accommodate students with peanut or tree nut allergies. The policy follows the University’s decision last year to switch food service providers from Sodexo and Aramark to Compass Group North America.

Georgene Sardis, Compass marketing director, said Northwestern Dining believes major health issues such as allergies should be taken seriously.

“It has always been the goal of Northwestern Dining to make the safety and well-being of our guests our top priority,” Sardis told The Daily in an email.

SESP freshman Claire Koster said the new policy comes as a relief for students who, like » See NUT, page 6

AROUND TOWN

Rogers Park nonprofits, NU partner

By CLARE PROCTOR

daily senior staffer @ceproctor23

Just past the southern border of Evanston sits Rogers Park, one of the most racially and socioeconomically diverse neighborhoods in Chicago. A pocket of the neighborhood rests just north of a portion of Howard Street, minutes away from Northwestern’s campus.

Yet there has historically been little interaction between the University and the neighborhood residents. With new partnerships that started in 2017, Northwestern is hoping to change that.

Last fall, Northwestern entered into a partnership with three different nonprofits in Rogers Park: A Just Harvest, Gale Community Academy and Howard Area Community Center.

The program, called Neighbor2Neighbor, intends to build long-lasting relationships with the community, said Val Buchanan, assistant director of leadership development and community engagement at Northwestern, who helped launch the program.

“We’re looking to respond to invitations and build around the assets already present in the neighborhood,” she said.“We don’t see this as Northwestern coming in to bring answers or to save anyone, but to partner with

POLICE BLOTTER Evanston man charged with domestic battery An Evanston man was arrested and charged with domestic battery after an incident early Wednesday morning.

At around 1:40 a.m., Evanston Police Department officers responded to a call of a disturbance in the 500 block of Elmwood Avenue in south Evanston. Officers were told a woman had been screaming inside the residence for about five minutes, said Evanston Police Cmdr. Ryan Glew.

When officers arrived at the residence, the 36-year-old man answered the door. He appeared

and follow the leadership of leaders in the community who are addressing the social concerns there.”

Rogers Park has been historically marginalized, Buchanan said, and despite the close proximity to both Evanston and Northwestern, there were few opportunities to connect students and faculty to the Rogers Park neighborhood.

The program follows a model of place-based community engagement — the idea that universities have a responsibility to positively impact the community in which they reside — Buchanan said.

Hannah Merens, a Weinberg senior intending to pursue a masters in education, said working with Neighbor2Neighbor inspired them to become an educator that advocates for their students. Merens volunteers with Neighbor2Neighbor, primarily at Gale Community Academy. The school, located at 1631 W. Jonquil Terrace, serves students from preschool to eighth grade.

“When you come to Northwestern, it is your obligation to be present in the community, to be impassioned by the community and to fight for the community,” Merens said.

A Just Harvest is a local nonprofit rooted at the heart of this community. The organization works to combat hunger through a community kitchen that serves hot meals every day of the year and The Genesis Project, an entrepreneurial urban garden

centered around workforce development for community members, as well as social advocacy.

The work the organization does stretches far beyond combating physical hunger, said Tonia Andreina, director of education and community development for the organization.

“Hunger is not just the hunger for food, as in people who are suffering from food insecurity,” Andreina said. “It’s also a hunger for community, so we try to bring together opportunities for people to serve through tangible projects.”

Working to stabilize the lives of Rogers Park community members is a primary tenant of the Howard Area Community Center. One of their main initiatives is the family literacy campaign, a program providing English as a second language classes to adults while their children attend a childhood education program.

Bailey said the partnership between Northwestern and the Rogers Park neighborhood creates a “living experience of diversity” that students cannot experience by simply sitting in a classroom. “(Students) get to walk down the street and smell the smells from food from 50 different countries,” Bailey said. “It’s sort of a full package experience that has emerged from this partnership.”

Officers spoke to the woman who was inside, Glew said. She had sustained a bite mark on her neck. The woman told officers the man had choked her, but she did not want him arrested.

However, Illinois law states that if there is probable cause to make an arrest for domestic battery, the responding officers must arrest the accused, Glew said. The man was arrested and charged with domestic battery, a misdemeanor.

The 22-year-old man who was stopped was carrying two backpacks, and he dropped them when police approached, Glew said.

When police searched the backpacks, they found small plastic bags containing 1.5 grams of MDMA and 10 grams of assorted pills including alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax.

The man was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance.

The cast of “Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” performing alongside iconic character Willy Wonka.

Q&A: Alum finds her way to the chocolate factory

By CRYSTAL WALL

the daily northwestern @crysticreme

Claire Neumann found her golden ticket when she landed a role in “Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Neumann (Communication ’09) featured in several ensemble roles and occasionally called upon as an understudy, took the stage in the Chicago premiere on Oct. 2. The show will run at the Oriental Theatre until Oct. 21, a stone’s throw away from Neumann’s humble beginnings as a theatre major at NU. This Q&A has been edited for brevity and clarity.

The Daily: Where did your Northwestern theatre career begin?

Neumann: I didn’t know I would do musical theatre. I didn’t even know that was a profession. I was living in Bobb Hall at the time and this girl I knew was auditioning for a music theatre program. So I auditioned and I didn’t get in, and then I remember emailing the judges and saying, “Hey, what do I do to get in the program?” So I took a music theatre class.

I originally had Henry (Godinez) as my teacher. He was great. He had such a gentle, calm energy and he trained in Kabuki theatre. He was very much about acting and meditation. That was a really nice, nourishing, gentle introduction to theatre training.

The Daily: How did Northwestern’s program prepare you for life outside of college?

Neumann: I did the music theatre and the theatre showcases and those were really valuable because the remainder of the year was spent working on the business of theatre — understanding the business

was very valuable but difficult. It was a hard pill to swallow — hearing that people are going to typecast you, that you need to put yourself in a box and that you need to know how to sell yourself. You need to have an audition book and have songs in each category of music. You need to have your Hammerstein, your Sondheim. It was overwhelming, but that was probably the most valuable information I received that helps me in the professional world.

The Daily: What about the show do you think will touch modern audiences?

Neumann: It’s a reimagining of the Warner Bros. movie made in 1971, and so it takes the heart of that and the songs we love like “The Candy Man,” “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” “Pure Imagination” and fuses them with incredible music by Marc Shaiman. The heart of the original movie is still there — the power of imagination, of goodness and of pure-heartedness.

Charlie is the most loving, humble angel of a child who has nothing, but he’s surrounded by love and has endless hope. You see that in contrast to these other kids who are either focused on their egos or materialism. In the end, goodness, kindness and love are what win. I think that’s a powerful message for our world right now.

The Daily: Do you have any advice for aspiring Northwestern actors?

Neumann: Follow your heart at all times and connect to the meaning of the art form. Make sure you know how to connect to that because this egodriven business can get a little hard on the heart and soul. So find ways of nourishing your heart and nourishing yourself and connecting to what your purpose is in this art form. crystalwall2020@u.northwestern.edu

Bienen series that demystifies music reaches year 50

By CHARLOTTE WALSH

daily senior staffer @charwalsh_

More than 50 years ago, pianist Jeffrey Siegel was at a party in Chicago after a night performing as a soloist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. During the party, a woman approached him and commented that while she enjoyed classical music, she wished her listening experience would be more than just a “pleasant ear wash of sound.”

Over the years, Siegel said he has also received many questions about classical music from people who don’t necessarily listen to classical music often and said they would want an introduction to the genre.

In 1968, he decided to address both issues at once in a program he dubbed “Keyboard Conversations.”

“There’s the avid music lover who wants his or her music experience to be enriched, but there’s also the novice who knows they’re missing something great in life not to have classical music,” Siegel said. “The program was developed for both these listeners.”

“Keyboard Conversations with Jeffrey Siegel” will mark its 50th year of music Oct. 4. Originally performed at the National College of Education, formerly in Evanston, the program is a piano “concert with commentary” to provide audience members with musical and historical context before each piece. The

series moved to Pick-Staiger Concert Hall 25 years ago and has remained there ever since.

Although the concert is native to Chicago, Siegel said “Keyboard Conversations” has expanded over the years to various cities around the country, including New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Dallas, Denver and Washington, D.C. Most recently, “Keyboard Conversations” went international and found success in London.

Siegel said the program consists of four performances each year with a Q&A session afterward, the basic format of which has remained the same since its

inception, although he joked he has become “better at doing it.” Siegel said audiences continue to enjoy the concerts because of the anecdotal commentary alongside each piece, presented in non-technical jargon so all listeners can understand.

“The audience feels like they’re on the inside track and that’s the whole point of the program,” Siegel said.

Siegel said it’s also easy to sustain “Keyboard Conversations” because there’s a vast wealth of music written for solo piano. Different programs are created each year because there’s still a lot to unpack with many classical pieces, he said.

Jerry Tietz, the director of concert management at the Bienen School of Music, said the concerts have remained a staple of the arts community for so long because of their mass appeal to all music listeners.

Despite shifting tastes in music genres, he said Siegel’s concerts have endured the test of time.

“There seems to be this omnipresent, perpetual bemoaning both by arts audiences and by arts companies that our audiences are dwindling,” Tietz said.

“The fact that any artist can continue to do successfully and lucratively what Jeffrey has developed is nothing short of impressive.”

Tietz said the program’s unique style is another reason the program has maintained its popularity, even among experienced Chicago audiences. He said people crave the anecdotes and circumstances behind the music Jeffrey plays for an enriched musical experience.

As a Chicago native and parent of two Northwestern alumni, Siegel said he can’t help but feel extremely grateful for the series’ loyal audience and the home Northwestern has given him.

“When I was a boy, I always wished I could go to Northwestern and give concerts,” Siegel said. “To think now I’m beginning the 50th anniversary in Evanston of these programs, it’s quite an experience for me.” charlottewalsh2021@u.northwestern.edu

Alum sets scene in Poe-inspired immersive ‘macabre’ show

By WILSON CHAPMAN

daily senior staffer @wilsonchapman10

To Eli Newell, immersive theatre is appealing because of the combination of an emotional and physical pull directly into the story. As the co-director of Strawdog Theatre Company’s new original theatrical experience “Masque Macabre,” Newell gets to explore just that.

“With immersive theatre, you literally get the opportunity to walk the path of another character,” Newell (Communication ’18) said. “You can … watch them navigate both the physical topography of the space, but also the emotional topography of the space.”

“Masque Macabre” premieres Oct. 4 at Strawdog Theatre Company’s venue in Chicago and is inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and other prominent horror authors. The plot follows a young,

rich party host hosting one last celebration before his “past catches up to him” while masked audience members play the guests as they explore the performance space.

A recent NU grad, Newell’s opportunity to work with Strawdog Theatre arose during Fall Quarter of his senior year, when he wrote, directed and staged an immersive play called “FAIR GAME: A Chicago Spectacle” with Sit & Spin Productions. The show, loosely based on the events of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, was staged throughout Cahn Auditorium as audience members explored various intersecting storylines.

After the opening performance, Newell was approached by a representative of Strawdog who said they would be interested in working with Newell in the future. By December, Newell had signed on to co-direct “Masque Macabre” for the company.

As co-director, Newell gets to work with material similar to “Fair Game.” Both are immersive pieces

inspired from preexisting texts and use classic stories to explore completely different directions.

The show’s costume designer Virginia Varland (Communication ’16) echoed this sentiment. As a long-time reader of Poe and his texts, Varland has a particular connection to this show.

“It’s nice to grapple further with stories I’ve loved my entire life, and see how they can be relevant to contemporary audiences and contemporary storytelling,” Varland said.

She said immersive theatre is exciting because audience members always have a different journey through the show no matter how many times one sees it, the play remains fresh and new.

“Masque Macabre” actor Collin Quinn Rice (Communication ’15), said the performance education at Northwestern prepared them well for show.

Rice said students learned how to utilize movements that spark an emotional reaction in the audience, a tool they have used to stay present in “Masque Macabre.”

“Especially with an immersive work like this, I have to be so present and engaged with every fiber of my body that it’s so important for me to have that education behind me,” Rice said.

Rice said working in an immersive show is challenging because it requires them to remain in character, no matter what turns the show takes. However, they said this flexible experience is exciting, because they love being able to receive immediate feedback from the audience.

For Newell, the instantaneous audience reactions and diverging paths of an immersive theatre piece are part of what makes working on them so engaging. In particular, the open-ended nature of how one experiences these works is one of the reasons he is drawn to “Masque Macabre” in the first place.

“Everyone’s experience is different, but nobody’s experience is incorrect,” Newell said. wilsonchapman2021@u.northwestern.edu

Icon Bette Davis to be studied at NU conference

By JANE RECKER

daily senior staffer @janerecker

Even the beautiful acting force that was Bette Davis slowly succumbed to the march of time, receiving fewer parts as she aged. So, in 1962 Davis posted an employment ad in the Hollywood Reporter stating “Mother of three, divorcee, 30 years experience as an actress in motion pictures, wants steady employment in Hollywood, references upon request: Bette Davis.”

It’s one of Northwestern English Prof. Julia Stern’s favorite anecdotes about Davis and a prime example of why Davis is worthy of days of study and reflection. That’s why Stern and Loyola English Prof. Melissa Bradshaw are putting on an academic conference all about Davis. “All About Bette: The Cultural Legacies of Bette Davis,” will take place in Scott Hall Oct. 5-6 and examine the ways Davis was key to shaping the culture of Hollywood’s Golden Age. The conference will present papers from scholars around the country examining everything from Davis’ relationships with her co-stars to the incredible longevity of her career. Friday’s keynote address will feature the world’s preeminent Bette Davis expert, Martin Shingler, and Saturday’s keynote will be a Q&A with Davis’ former personal assistant, Kathryn Sermak.

Stern and Bradshaw have been avid Davis fans since they were young. As a petite girl of modest means, Bradshaw said Davis was a great inspiration to her.

“She was a small woman… but she seemed big on screen because the characters she played were

fearless and the way she played them was fearless,” Bradshaw said. “I just felt like if Bette Davis could do it, I could do it.”

Davis championed the rights of actresses of all ages and essentially ended the Golden Age studio system that would force actresses to churn out upwards of 10 movies a year. In 1937, Davis sued Warner Bros. Pictures for an unfair contract.

Davis was also a huge proponent of civil rights, Stern said. During World War II, Bradshaw said Davis supported a program called “Stage Door Canteen” where servicemen could be entertained by the stars. Davis ensured this program was fully integrated, and that soldiers of all races and backgrounds could spend time with Hollywood starlets.

Well-known to be a hardcore, lifelong Democrat, Stern noted Davis would most likely be appalled by the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. “(If Davis was alive, she’d say) you’re putting that on the Supreme Court? Are you f–king kidding me?” Stern said.

Given Davis’ leftist politics, Bradshaw was upset that Susan Sarandon — who refused to support Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump — was chosen to portray Davis in “Feud,” the television show which followed the bitter fighting between Davis and Joan Crawford during the filming of “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” Stern said that, political views aside, she didn’t think Sarandon captured the je ne sais quois of Davis.

There is a certain quality about Davis that makes her incomparable to any modern actress, both professors agreed. While Meryl Streep seems like an obvious comparison based on acting chops alone, both said Streep lacked Davis’ raw grit.

It was this grit that led her to jump fearlessly into roles featuring complicated, unlikable women

that Stern said “totally stunned people,” and continues to draw people to her work today.

Despite her headstrong attitude, Bradshaw said, at her core, Davis was still a “New England lady to the bone” with a heightened sense of propriety. A remarkable product of her time, Davis perhaps best explained her own nature in her 1987

memoir “This ’n That.”

“Why am I so good at playing the bitches?”

Davis said. “I think it’s because I’m not a bitch.

Maybe that’s why Miss ( Joan) Crawford always plays ladies.” janerecker2019@u.northwestern.edu

Block Museum features Chicago advertising giants

daily senior staffer @dreamertorii

Iconic advertisements can be found everywhere, from a can of 7Up in the fridge to the classic Motorola flip phone in the palm of your

hand.

As the inventors of these cultural staples, Morton and Millie Goldsholl know that firsthand.

In the new art exhibition “Up is Down: MidCentury Experiments in Advertising and Film at the Goldsholl Studio,” the Block Museum of Art uncovers a powerful force that fostered

Rachel Kupfer / Daily Senior Staffer

The Block Museum presents “Up is Down: Mid-Century Experiments in Advertising and Film at the Goldsholl Studio,” an exhibition reintroducing the work of influential advertising firm Goldsholl Design Associates. The exhibition features some of the Goldsholls’ most famous designs for companies such as Motorola, 7UP, and Kimberly-Clark.

COMING UP

the modern form of advertising and corporate branding—namely, the Chicagoan advertising firm Goldsholl Design Associates. The exhibition runs from Sept. 18 to Dec. 9 and is part of Art Design Chicago, a yearlong celebration exploring Chicago’s art and design legacy.

Goldsholl Design & Film Associates was run by married duo Morton and Millie Goldsholl, said NU alum Amy Beste, a co-curator of the exhibition. The Goldsholls were mid-century artists who employed Bauhaus techniques in well-known corporate campaigns by experimenting with new materials, focusing on light as a medium and emphasizing the craft of film, she said.

“I think the two major innovations that the firm made was in corporate identity design, creating what we now think of as branding,” Beste said. “They were also innovative in terms of applying avant garde ideas to commercial, advertising or corporate-sponsored films, so that these films look unlike anything else at the time.”

Beste said she was most fascinated with how the exhibition illustrated the “screen culture” of the 1950s, which the Goldsholls capitalized upon by pairing it with their knack for advertising. After the war, screens became a normal part of everyday life and the film industry flourished, she said. Chicago was considered “the Hollywood of industrial filmmaking,” and movies were shown everywhere from theaters to classrooms and stores.

Naturally, the Goldsholls turned to television to influence the relationship between screen space and the outside world, Beste said. They were pioneers in moving design onto this contemporary medium, she said.

co-curator, said the Goldsholls’ spirit of experimentation was well-received by corporations.

As television and graphic design jobs broke into the professional realm, companies needed ways to keep viewers watching during commercial breaks—carving a space for the Goldsholls’ unique ads.

Granof said the exhibition is also a testament to the historical context the Goldsholls worked in.

“Morton and Millie founded the firm in the mid-50s, and…the fact that Millie had such a prominent role in the firm and in their commercial and professional work was unusual, because as a woman, it was not as typical or common,” she said. “So just to see her as a principal leader and in a creative role is inspiring.”

Block Museum Communications Manager Lindsay Bosch, who worked with the curators to bring new audiences to the exhibition, said the show is particularly compelling for audiences because it touches on both Chicago’s history and the Bauhaus movement in America, she said.

These crowds will also find the Goldsholls’ successful advertisements relatable and reminiscent, Bosch said.

“Quite a lot of people have held their Motorola phones in their hands, and the Goldsholls designed that ‘M’ logo,” Bosch said.”Even if you have never heard of them as artists, even if you don’t know about modernism or experimental art of the midcentury, you realize that you’ve encountered it in your life.”

“I’m here because I’m a follower of the students here,” said U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) while onstage. “They’re doing the organizing. Whatever you want me to, I’m going to be there for you, because you’re the ones who are going to change the world.”

Schakowsky praised the students for being “impatient and undauntable” in the face of policies that make guns easily available.

The menu centers around chicken, featuring items such as the Korean BBQ bowl, Kangnam Style wings and panko-coated chicken tenders.

10Q also offers a Chili Buffalo sandwich — with buffalo drizzle and pickled jalapenos — for those seeking some extra heat. Complete any meal with Bacon Ranch Cheese Fries or Matcha Soft Serve Ice Cream.

Yoo said the 10Q sandwich and the Kangnam Style wings are his two favorite dishes, noting that they are also the two most popular menu items.

The restaurant is a sleek, modern space, mostly black and white except for a big neon sign reading “10Q Chicken” that hangs on the main wall.

McCormick freshman Kavi O’Connor said he enjoyed the layout. He said 10Q is a great

experience with the mass shooting, its aftermath and how the March For Our Lives made an impact on them. The march, which took place nationwide on March 24, sought to raise awareness about gun violence across the country.

“Sharing experiences and sharing stories (is) the only way we’re going to be able to solve such a huge issue,” Roberts said during the event. “What we hope to do is make no one experience gun violence. We want to make a change, and we’re doing that through March For Our Lives.”

Early on, the Stoneman Douglas students were portrayed badly by the media, Whitney said. The students started a bus tour called Road to Change, aimed to clear up the misconceptions that they were “radical left-wing gun-grabbers.”

Road to Change started out by visiting every

congressional district in Florida, and expanded nationally as their message gained popularity.

However, the students weren’t originally welcomed so warmly.

“I wasn’t prepared for as much pushback as we got,” Roberts said while onstage.

At the first stop on their tour in Naperville, Roberts said, people in the crowd booed and wore T-shirts with offensive remarks. Instead of being discouraged, the Stoneman Douglas students spoke anyway and talked to people “completely different from (them)” in order to convince the public that anti-gun violence legislation was necessary.

“It turned into this thing where we understood each other,” Roberts said.

Whitney and Roberts also encouraged the audience to vote in the midterm elections.

“You need to vote,” Whitney said “There’s no question about it.”

Local students participated in the forum, highlighting the ways in which the lessons of Parkland could be applied to Chicago and Evanston.

ETHS Speech and Debate students talked about background checks, assault weapon bans and the public health implications of people with mental illnesses accessing guns.

In addition, ETHS students performed original poetry, and Saint Sabina youth leader Trevon Bosley reminded the audience that “everyday shootings are an everyday problem.”

Despite arriving in the Chicago area mere hours before the forum, Whitney said she could tell the Evanston community was invested in gun violence prevention.

“I’m excited people want to hear about our story,” she said.

by surprise: the University has been running surpluses for years. Throughout the spring, Schapiro said, the estimates for the deficit got increasingly worse. It wasn’t until June that they realized its full extent.

“I didn’t expect any layoffs,” he said.

“The deficit turned out to be larger than we thought, and we had to do what we needed to do.”

When the estimate for the deficit was publicly disclosed by Provost Jonathan Holloway

in January, senior administrators downplayed the gravity of the financial troubles, with Holloway initially painting the condition as an “annoyance” while saying the University did not plan for layoffs.

On Wednesday, Schapiro added blame to miscommunication in the administration and budgeting systems that didn’t effectively work with each other.

“We just didn’t coordinate all the numbers so that we were on the same page,” he said. “I

think we’re doing it now.”

Although he said there is still some uncertainty surrounding the budget, Schapiro said he expects the University will again reach a surplus by this time next year.

“We’re still in good shape,” the president said. “We’re trying to get through this and move on. I hope that at the end of the day we’re more efficient.”

addition to downtown Evanston because it gives students a “high class” option for fast food, and added that the fries were “amazing.”

According to its website, the name 10Q plays on “thank you,” a simple phrase reflective of the restaurant’s ultimate goal: to serve and please its customers.

“Customer service and hospitality; giving customers what they want has always been central,” Yoo said. ethanshanfeld2022@u.northwestern.edu

NUT

From page 1 her,have severe nut allergies. While Koster said she has never experienced an allergic reaction because she is careful to avoid nuts, her allergy tests said that if she ingested nuts she could go into anaphylactic shock, which could lead to death.

“I’m definitely appreciative of the policy,” she said. “It makes my life a lot easier and more stress-free.”

Sodexo, the previous food provider, served food items with peanuts and tree nuts in dining halls.

Aiming to standardize the student dining experience, the University started looking for alternative food service providers in July of last year — since Sodexo’s contracts with the school year were due to expire in 2018 — and announced the switch from Sodexo and Aramark to Compass in April of this year.

Northwestern joins other colleges across the country that have implemented similar allergy-free dining halls. Schools like Kent State University and Cornell University have opened entire gluten-free dining halls, according to The New York Times. About 4 percent of children and adults have food allergies, with 90

cameroncook2021@u.northwestern.edu

aperez@u.northwestern.edu percent of allergens being among the top eight allergens, according to The Peanut Institute, “a non-profit organization that supports nutrition research.”

As Compass implements its nut-free policy at Northwestern, the provider is also working to help people with severe reactions to other allergens. The Allison and Sargent dining halls have added Pure Eats stations, where chefs prepare dishes without gluten or any of the top eight allergens, Sardis said. All dining halls will have Pure Eats stations by the end of the academic year, she said.

Compass is also looking at bringing nut butter alternatives like SunButter — “nut” butter made from sunflower seeds — to dining halls, Sardis said.

Some students who aren’t allergic to nuts said they are understanding of the policy and are willing to not eat nuts in dining halls.

Weinberg sophomore Kayden Washington said he kept cashews in his dorm last year and was careful not to contaminate public spaces for people who may have nut allergies.

“Nut allergies are definitely severe, so I think it’s an understandable policy,” Washington said. danielvesurai2022@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats swept by Minnesota for 5th-straight loss No. 5 Minnesota

By MANASA PAGADALA

the daily northwestern

After four straight losses to start its Big Ten slate, Northwestern played against No. 5 Minnesota at Beardsley Gym at Evanston Township High School for their first midweek matchup of the season Wednesday.

The Golden Gophers, after claiming victory over two top-10 teams in their previous four games, came in riding a five game win-streak and certainly posed a challenge to the young NU team.

“We are a young team but that shouldn’t be holding us back,” junior middle blocker Olivia Viscuso said. “I’m sure they have a ranking in front of their name but that doesn’t mean anything. Any team can win or lose on any day.”

Minnesota’s (11-2, 5-0 Big Ten) continued to ride its wave as it swept NU (10-7, 0-5), 3-0, giving the Cats their third loss against ranked opponents this season.

Despite their initial momentum with an immediate kill by freshman outside hitter Abryanna Cannon and

two service aces in a row by freshman libero Michelle Lee, the team began to lose its consistency when the Gophers took a 16-8 lead.

“We went into a mode where we couldn’t do anything right,” coach Shane Davis said. “It was at a 16-8 deficit that we ended up making errors.”

Although the team lasted until the end of the first set with 12 kills and one serving error, the set ended with a .200 hitting percentage, compared to Minnesota’s .500. Viscuso said that Cannon provided good energy.

“Abryanna had a couple of really good hits,” said Viscuso. “I loved being on the court when she did something good, because she gets really excited.”

As the second set began, the inconsistency started with blocks and attacks, with the Cats’ hitting average dropping to 0.097, even

with sophomore outside hitter Nia Robinson delivering a pair of kills and Cannon striking another, NU lost the second set 25-17.

“We go from hitting over 0.300 to 0.400 in really good situations to hitting negative,” Davis said. “We were in system half the time and out of system the other half.”

Heading into their third set, Robinson said the Cats shifted their overall approach to the match.

NU continued to work hard in the final set, fighting for possession of the ball even at match point for Minnesota. The Cats’ attackers kept up their aggression but could not keep up with the Gophers. The set ended 25-15, as Minnesota claimed its sixth straight three-set sweep.

“I think we learned a lot in this game. I think we learned a lot about ourselves again,” Robinson said. “So coming back in, we’ll be able to give them a better match-up, a better scout, and we’ll be able to give them a run for their money next time.” manasapagadala2021@u. northwestern.edu

Defense key for Cats

NU finishes in top-four at event

By CHARLIE GOLDSMITH

By JOE WILKINSON

daily senior staffer @2021_Charlie

There might not be a single well-recognized defensive tactician in women’s college soccer who’s known for adding a wrinkle that revolutionized the game.

But if there’s a coach in the Big Ten that shares coach Michael Moynihan’s passion for defense and a team that reflects it, it’s Mike O’Neill and Rutgers (7-1-4, 3-0-2 Big Ten), who will play the Wildcats (8-2-2, 2-2-1) Thursday in Piscataway, New Jersey.

NU’s matchup against the Scarlet Knights last season was a grueling 0-0 draw, a match senior defender Kayla Sharples called, right after playing all 110 minutes, the most physically and emotionally demanding one of the season.

As the team wrapped up its last practice before going at them again, senior defender Hannah Davison and another starter walked off the field and reminisced about how challenging Rutgers is to play against. Unlike reigning conference tournament champions Penn State, which tries to win with pace and possession, Rutgers holds the ball and keeps its defense as compact as any team in the conference.

Except maybe Northwestern.

“They’re really good at keeping possession in the back, and I think they’re confident in their abilities in the back,” Davison said. “[We have to be] pressing as a unit and knowing when to go up and make a run at the ball.”

Getting to play in physical matchups like these is a big part of the reason Davison wanted to play for the Cats. Davison and Sharples form one of the most physically imposing center-back defenses in the NCAA, and over the last four years, Moynihan has weaponized her and Sharples all over the field.

They wall off shooters in front of the net, gain possession themselves and then push the ball up together before releasing it to a midfielder. Davison said she’s trusted Moynihan’s system the whole way.

“I know that a lot of my soccer ability relies on my athletic ability,” she said. “I

No. 14 Northwestern vs. Rutgers Piscataway, New Jersey 7 p.m. Friday

wanted to be on teams that stay up very aggressively. I like pressing and I like being up in the other team’s face. So a team that kind of built on that was something I was looking for.”

While he benefits from having defenders like Davison and Sharples, Moynihan acknowledges he might be one of the few coaches who believes, as the old adage goes, that defense wins championships.

“I think every good team starts with a foundation of strong defending,” Moynihan said, “but I wouldn’t say that that many teams in the Big Ten really excel at it.”

According to Moynihan, defense is about balancing when to stay compact and allow the opposing offense to advance and when to swarm the ball. When Moynihan watches Champions League and Olympic Soccer, he looks for how teams manage staying aggressive while keeping their defensive shape intact.

Even though he thinks some European coaches are making progress, there hasn’t been one yet who’s been a pioneer in this area of the game. According to Moynihan, Rutgers is one of the teams in women’s college soccer that’s effectively adapting a strategy to its personnel.

“They still like to really build out of the back,” he said. “It’s a team that if you chase them and you’re not very organized in how you do it they really pick you apart.”

For stretches Thursday, it’ll be like looking in the mirror for NU, which had Davison excited about what her fourth matchup against the Scarlet Knights will look like. As she finished practice Tuesday and walked off the pitch with her teammate, she ended their conversation with two declarative statements.

“We haven’t beaten them since our freshman year,” Davison said. “Rutgers is always a team that we want to get after.” charliegoldsmith2021@u.northwestern.edu

It was business as usual for Northwestern at the Windy City Collegiate Classic this week — holding its own against some of the best teams in the country and finishing tied for fourth place.

The Wildcats had a unique advantage at this week’s tournament: they were playing at home, just up the road in Wilmette at the Westmoreland Country Club.

“It’s a very challenging golf course, difficult greens, very fast, lots of scope,” coach Emily Fletcher said.

“Westmoreland was gracious enough to let us play four or five times prior to the tournament. It gives you a little bit more knowledge, a little bit more patience, knowing to play to the fat side of some of these holes, knowing what hole locations were ones you could attack and ones you had to be a little more conservative with.”

NU may have been at home, but it was still a new look for the Cats.

With two program legends in Hannah Kim and Sarah Cho graduating in the spring, Fletcher and her staff faced the daunting challenge of replacing their production in the lineup.

So far this season, the task has fallen to freshmen Kelly Sim and Kelly Su, with seniors Stephanie Lau and Janet Mao and junior Brooke Riley maintaining their places in the lineup.

In only her third collegiate tournament, and up against some of the best golfers in the country including Virginia Elena Carta, the 2016 individual NCAA national champion, and 2018 team champions Arizona, Sim finished tied for seventh.

“The best part of my game had to be my putting,” Sim said. “At the last tournament I really struggled

Brooke Riley examines the slope prior to putting. The junior finished tied for seventh.

with my putting… I kept pulling my putts, but I really worked hard on it.

Coach Emily, coach Beth (Miller) and coach Pat Goss really helped out with my putting, and it was neat to see the results.”

It wasn’t even the first time Sim showed the promise that could make her one NU’s top contributors for years to come. In her first tournament, the Dick McGuire Invitational, she finished 10th overall before dropping back to 50th at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate.

Sim was joined in seventh place

by Riley, who started the tournament 2-over-par after the first round before firing back-to-back under par rounds, making birdie on four of her final six holes in round two to catapult herself into contention.

“Not everything was great, but I just kind of kept it in front of me and kept it together,” Riley said.

“At Westmoreland, especially with how they re-did the course, the tee (shots) are huge. My driver and 3-wood were just consistent, and I was hitting targets off the tee, which was huge.”

Riley and Sim have started the season strong, but Sim’s fellow freshman Su has had a much rougher introduction to college golf. Su has been the highest-scoring golfer among the team’s five counting scores in each of her first three tournaments with the Cats.

Su’s closest competitor for the final spot is likely senior Monica Matsubara, who has been part of NU’s six-member squads in the unique Big Ten Championships format. Matsubara has struggled in those events and competed as an individual at this week’s event. She finished with the fourth-best score of any Cats golfer on the weekend, bested by Riley, Sim and Lau. “Replacing Hannah and Sarah, we’ve got the firepower within our lineup to do that,” Fletcher said. “It’s just a matter of understanding where we’re still lacking and where we need to improve. We’ll continue to work on that and look to be a little bit better each week and certainly a lot better by the springtime.” josephwilkinson2019@u.northwestern.edu
