State doubles down after Flint Illinois look to better monitoring, testing of water lead levels By RISHIKA DUGYALA
the daily northwestern @rdugyala822
Although many Illinois communities such as Evanston have not experienced recent issues with lead poisoning, state officials are working to improve practices for monitoring and testing lead levels in the water in light of the crisis in Flint, Michigan and incidents in Illinois. In the past three years, there have been 19 lead action level exceedances among Illinois community water supplies, said Kim Biggs, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. However, after each of these 19 communities received their individual reports, Biggs said community officials took the additional steps to protect their water supplies as required by the Lead and Copper Rule, a treatment technique instructing public water systems to take certain actions to minimize lead and copper in
drinking water. In September 2015, Flint’s Hurley Medical Center released a study revealing the proportion of infants and children with above-average levels of lead in their blood nearly doubled after the city switched to using the Flint River as its water source in 2014. Evanston’s water production bureau chief Darrell King said the city has not experienced any issues with lead since 1992 when the water department added a protective layer of phosphate into the water treatment plant’s pipes, preventing lead from contaminating the water. King said Evanston was awarded reduced monitoring status and only has to sample the water for lead every three years because of the success of their safety precautions. The city has yet to exceed the lead action level of 15 parts per billion in more than 10 percent of their samples since the addition of the phosphate barrier, King said. “What happened in Flint, Michigan is completely different. They changed water sources and it created a lot of problems, more than just lead,” King said. “In Evanston, our water source hasn’t changed. We use Lake Michigan » See LEAD, page 7

RTVF program to Cats tie record with 23rd win add refugee resident Men’s Tennis

the daily northwestern @benjyapelbaum
Northwestern is inching closer to history. The No. 15 Wildcats (23-2, 9-0 Big Ten) secured their 23rd win of the season, tying the single-season program record for wins, thanks to a 4-0 triumph over Michigan State (10-16, 0-9) on Sunday. This came after the team defeated No. 21 Michigan (17-6, 6-3) 4-1 on Friday. “The guys are performing at a high level,” coach Arvid Swan said. “Our goals are still ahead of us and we want to finish strong. … We know we have to be ready, we know the Big Ten championship is on the line this coming weekend and our guys will be up for it.” Before tying the record, the Cats had to first take care of Michigan on Friday. NU got off to a good start by winning a competitive doubles point, taking second and third doubles. The Cats doubles dominance is a familiar sight — they have yet to lose a match this season when they win the doubles point. NU’s singles lineup also performed well, especially at the top. Juniors Konrad Zieba and Sam Shropshire won their matches at first and second singles in straight sets, by scores of 6-3, 7-5 and 6-2, 6-3, respectively. Freshman Ben Vandixhorn continued to roll en route to his 14th dual victory of the year, good for second most on the team behind junior Strong Kirchheimer.

“It was a really great performance,” Swan said. “We played with a lot of energy in doubles and really
throughout the entire match. Michigan is a great opponent so we knew we had to play at our best.” After handling Michigan, NU hosted Michigan State — a team that has not won in the Big Ten this season — for the Cats’ final home game of the regular season. Seniors Mihir Kumar and Fedor Baev had their careers honored in a Senior Day ceremony before the match. NU then went on to dominate the Spartans in a 4-0 shutout that was barely competitive.

The School of Communication will offer a refugee living in the United States an artist-scholar residency position for the next academic year in the Department of Radio, Television and Film. Galya Ruffer, the director of the Buffett Institute for Global Studies’ Center for Forced Migration Studies, said the position will preserve and showcase the work of a refugee that would otherwise be lost in resettlement. “When you use the word ‘refugee’ it conjures up the idea of somebody who’s somehow different, but then you meet one and you realize they’re a whole lot like us,” Ruffer said. The selected refugee will be a recognized artist in a field of communication with his or her work produced or published in well-known venues or outlets, and will teach three courses during the residency, according to the job posting. Ruffer said the position was created through a collaboration between her program and the School of Communication after the idea was proposed by officials from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. “We’ll get to see art from another part of the world that we might have never had an opportunity to access,” she said. She said the position reflects recent efforts of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to encourage institutions to find new ways to integrate refugees into society.
“Now that it’s on the public agenda, it’s great to see this kind of transformation with new employers stepping up and trying to help refugees get back into the same work they’ve been doing,” Ruffer said. “The whole point is to harness the great skills these people bring.” RTVF Prof. David Tolchinsky, the chair of the department, did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Shweta Moorthy, a visiting scholar in the Center for Forced Migration Studies who teaches at Northern Illinois University, said efforts such as this would help counteract the widespread hostility and skepticism that refugees currently face. “We ignore the positive implications of having refugees in our countries,” she said. “It’s important for refugees to be seen as human beings — people with life, experience, skills, talents, personalities and with things that bring them happiness and things that bring them sadness.” Ruffer said being exposed to the refugee’s art will allow students to appreciate the fluidity of his or her work as they watch it adapt to the new culture, setting and audience. She also said she wants to broaden this initiative’s reach in the future. “Right now, this program is taking someone who’s already here, but I hope that as we expand this program, we can be able to open this up to people who were not yet resettled, to expand the paths through which people can come,” she said. juliadoran2018@u.northwestern.edu

Natural gas piplines to be replaced Construction starts Monday, lasts until September By NORA SHELLY
the daily northwestern @noracshelly
Several natural gas pipelines in Evanston will be replaced this year in an effort to bolster public safety. Nicor Gas is replacing the pipelines as part of its own program that will upgrade Illinois’ natural gas infrastructure. Nicor’s initiative is in an effort to align with a 2013 state bill aimed at modernizing the state’s natural gas system, Jae Miller, a spokesperson for Nicor, said in an email. The pipelines are the property of Nicor gas, and they are leading the renovation project in coordination with Evanston city officials. The new pipes will be both more safe and more environmentally friendly, said Kumar Jensen, the city’s acting director of sustainability. “(Old infrastructure) can be a significant health issue,” Jensen said. “Obviously natural gas
Police Blotter Graffiti reported at Bill’s Drive-In in south Evanston
Graffiti was found on the windows, doors and outdoor seating of a fast food restaurant in south Evanston on Thursday morning. An employee of Bill’s Drive-In, 120 Asbury Ave., reported that she left work Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. and saw the graffiti the next morning when she arrived at 9:40 a.m., Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. Officers could not decipher any meaning behind the graffiti, which was mostly lines of green spray paint across the building’s front windows, side doors and outdoor tables, Dugan said. There are currently no suspects.

is a safety hazard, so improving … the systems can actually reduce health risks.” The pipelines being replaced in Evanston are primarily located in a region between the Davis and Dempster El stations. The project will replace the pipelines, remaking the system from low-pressure piping to high-pressure piping and will move the gas meter from the interior to the exterior of residents’ homes. The new pipelines will be made of plastic instead of cast iron, said David Stoneback, director of the city’s Public Works Department. “The old cast iron pipe is subject to failure because it is so old, so replacing it will help stop gas leaks as well,” he said. “(Nicor owns) the pipes and are responsible to do it.” Stoneback said the transfer from a low-pressure to a high-pressure system would better protect the integrity of the pipes underground, and moving the gas meter from the inside of the home to the outside will help keep residents safer in case of a leak.
Evanston residential garage burglarized last week
A garage and car were broken into sometime Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning at a residence in central Evanston. The resident, a 50-year-old female, reported that she had left her 2007 Honda inside her unlocked garage Tuesday in the 2200 block of Wesley Avenue, Dugan said. The next morning at about 6 a.m., the woman found that someone had gone through her car and unsuccessfully tried to cut a cable lock off her bicycle in a presumed attempt to steal the bicycle, he said. Nothing appeared to be stolen or missing. — Juliet Freudman
This year’s projects are part of a four-phase initiative that began in 2013. The entire project will finish next year, Stoneback said.

Auntie Angel shows techniques in Sex Week finale By DARIA LENDERMAN
the daily northwestern @lend_er_man
Chicago-based sex educator Auntie Angel demonstrated six of her more than 50 oral sex techniques to roughly 200 students during Northwestern Sex Week’s finale event Friday night. Audience members packed the seats and aisles of a Technological Institute lecture hall to watch Angel — who introduced herself as an “intimacy and relations expert specializing in fellatio” — show her techniques, including her signature “grapefruit technique.” At the start of Angel’s presentation, a number of students who brought their own grapefruits raised their citrus fruits high as an homage to a viral video in which Angel demonstrates a fellatio technique involving a grapefruit. In a separate demonstration, Angel laid down a tarp on the floor to collect her saliva before showing her six-step process for fellatio. Angel conversed with students throughout the event, rousing near-constant laughter and applause from the crowd. Weinberg freshman Calvin Anderson, a member of the Sex Week planning committee, said her humor lightened the atmosphere surrounding a topic typically not discussed in public. “You need something fun in there that gets
NU researchers publish first-ever ‘global index’ on coral reefs
A Northwestern research team published last week the first-ever “global index” outlining the vulnerability of coral reefs to coral bleaching. Coral bleaching occurs when corals respond to unexpected changes in their ecosystem by
experimenting, so be safe,” Angel said. “Safe sex is really the best sex.” As the event ended, the audience gave Angel a standing ovation before swarming down to the front of the auditorium for pictures and You’re in autographs. Anderson said a time in your Angel distinguished life where you’re herself from other Sex Week speakers with experimenting, the added entertainso be safe. Safe ment she brought to sex is really the her event. He decided to contact Angel for best sex. Sex Week after being Auntie Angel, reminded of her viral sex educator video. “One of the biggest things is that she’s fun, and that’s something really important,” Anderson said. “(Sex Week has) a lot of informative events about health, and some stuff about actual techniques too, but it can be really dry.” McCormick senior Michael Bartello, who attended four Sex Week events, said Angel’s presentation was the most crowded and entertaining of the four. “It was hilarious and informative all at the same time,” Bartello said. “It was fantastic.”

people engaged,” Anderson said. “The point of Sex Week is to destigmatize sex, and that only works if people are actually engaged and involved and want to talk about it.” Angel discussed a variety of other topics

expelling their life-providing algae, causing them to turn white. The coral bleaching response index details the susceptibility of coral reefs across the world to coral bleaching and their likeliness to die. The index draws from a meta-analysis of coral bleaching from 1982 through 2006 and represents nearly half of the world’s corals. The research team plans to put the global index online to allow for the addition of data as it becomes available. “Coral bleaching is an inescapable example of
the effects of climate change,” McCormick fellow and first author of the study Timothy Swain said in a news release. “Our goal is to use data to understand what is driving bleaching and learn how we can protect the world’s coral reefs, so we don’t lose them so quickly.” Coral reefs worldwide are suffering from the longest global coral bleaching event ever recorded. The new global index provides a standard measure of the vulnerability of different species of coral to thermal stress and will serve
darialenderman2019@u.northwestern.edu as a tool for conservationists and park managers. “With the index, we have a platform we can use to better understand bleaching mechanisms, both intrinsic and environmental,” McCormick Prof. Luisa Marcelino said in a news release. “There is value in knowing which species are more resistant and why. With good tools, we can make more informed decisions and better manage coral reefs.” — Kelli Nguyen

Evanston brewery expands with new Tap Room By NORA SHELLY
the daily northwestern @noracshelly
Cesar Marron and Shawn Decker were tired of working out of an alley. That’s why the two managing partners of Sketchbook Brewing Co., 821 Chicago Ave., decided to open up the Tap Room, an add-on to their existing brewery at the same south Evanston location. Since the new space opened last Friday, their business now has a street-level entrance on Chicago Avenue, so customers won’t have to navigate through an alley to find the brewery’s entrance. Marron said they had always wanted to expand their business but didn’t have the space to do it. He said the Tap Room was created as a space for community gathering. “We’re hoping it becomes a neighborhood meeting spot for people who are interested in hanging out and meeting friends and discussing things,” Decker said. “We’re trying to have a place where conversation is foremost.” The Tap Room currently has 11 different beers on tap, as well as free Wi-Fi, and features rotating work from local artists on its walls. Customers can bring their own food to the Tap Room or buy sandwiches and brownies made at Hewn Bakery, 810 Dempster St. The space will be open from Tuesday through Sunday. Sketchbook first opened in 2014, with a focus on promoting sustainability and establishing a relaxed community space in the south Evanston neighborhood. The business follows a community-supported brewery model, meaning patrons can buy six-month or year-long memberships to get pints or growlers of beer at a discounted price, Marron said. “We had constant positive feedback from our
Chicago man found guilty in 1992 murder of Evanston woman
A man was found guilty Thursday for the firstdegree murder of an Evanston woman in 1992. On April 23, 1992, police discovered the body of 25-year-old Deeondra Dawson in her apartment in the 600 block of Sherman Avenue. Her body had
neighbors,” said Marron. “We had (an expansion) in mind from the beginning.” Marron said the Tap Room was created with the neighborhood in mind, aiming to make itself a trademark of the area — similar to establishments such as the Piccolo Theatre, 600 Main St. and Dollop Coffee and Hoosier Mama Pie Co., 749 Chicago Ave. Their business would not be successful without those other businesses in the area, Marron said. “South Evanston … is becoming more and more invigorating right now,” he said. “To be a hotspot you have to have other things to complement it.” Julie Matthei, co-owner of Hewn, said in her experience as a business owner in the city, Evanston businesses are traditionally supportive of one another. For example, Hewn uses Sketchbook’s beer and spent grains from the brewing process in some of their breads. “We have a lot of ties to food and beverage establishments right here in Evanston,” Matthei said. “It only helps business when you work together and collaborate on things. We share a lot of customers, and people who love our bread also love Sketchbook’s beer.” Decker said the emphasis on sustainability is key to their business plan. The Tap Room includes a bar and table tops made from a decommissioned bowling alley, vintage bar stools and elements from a 19thcentury home. Apart from the Tap Room, Decker said sustainability has informed a lot of their business decisions. “For me it was a big factor in deciding to put all the energy into setting up this brewery — the issue of sustainability and localness,” he said. “This business model of going into business primarily as a local brewery, not as somebody that’s regional but rather somebody that is embedded in that neighborhood.” norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu been stabbed at least 34 times and left behind by Jimmie Dunlap, now 45.

Officers were unable to identify an offender until May 2013, when Evanston detectives working on the case were able to connect Dunlap to

the murder after resubmitting evidence from the scene for advanced DNA analysis, according to a news release. The Chicago man was then charged with one count of first-degree murder later that May. Now, after being found guilty of the charge, Dunlap will be sentenced on May 24. More advanced technology and a larger DNA database helped confirm Dunlap was the source of the DNA evidence found in numerous locations at the crime scene, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph
Dugan told The Daily. It was also discovered that Dunlap and Dawson were “acquaintances,” Dugan said. “Numerous family members of the victim, including her mother and son were present for the trial,” Dugan said in the news release. “The Evanston Police Department is thankful to bring some peace, closure and justice to the family and friends of Deondre Dawson.”

New recording studio opens in Louis Hall By DAVID FISHMAN
the daily northwestern @davidpkfishman
The School of Communication is expanding its sound-focused initiatives, including a professional recording studio in Louis Hall that opened last month and a new master’s program. “We were blessed with already having the shell of the studio that we did not have to build — the walls were there — but everything from the walls out needed to be improved,” said Rick Morris, an associate dean in the School of Communication. “There’s three or four different types of soundproofing. The ceiling has three different layers of ceiling. We made it super quiet. … We added the iso booth for loud things like drums or very soft things like voice overs. It’s very flexible.” Planning for the new recording studio — which Morris said cost about $1 million to build and can hold about 40 people — began last summer, and construction started in the fall. After testing and training in early February, the studio opened its doors last month. Housed in Louis Hall and unofficially dubbed the “sound stage,” Morris said the space would primarily serve NU students and faculty, but would also remain open to visiting artists. As of now, there are no policies in place about who may access the studio. Communication Prof. Stephan Moore, a sound artist and composer, said the space matches that of a professional-grade studio. His current class, Introduction to Music Production, uses the space, and he said future courses will use the studio as well. Moore said students would need extensive training before using the studio due to the complexity of operation and expensive equipment. Eventually, however, he said he’d be open to students operating the space independently. Along with the sound stage, the School of Communication has also launched two other initiatives geared at strengthening connections
between its various sound programs. In January, a group of Communication professors started “SoundTank,” a podcast which shares a name with a new collaborative space for sound artists and engineers in Frances Searle Building. And in the fall, the school will welcome its first class of master’s students to a new graduate program in Sound Arts and Industries. “(There’s) this new field known as sound studies that’s just emerged in the past 10 or 15 years,” said Communication Prof. Jacob Smith, who directs the new MA program. “You might not normally have a sound scientist and a sound studies person and a film sound designer all in a room talking to each other, but we thought there were a lot of great potentials to making that happen.”
“
We’re trying to connect all of the different sound-related faculty from all the different disciplines into one conversation.
Smith said he hoped for about 20 students to enroll in the program from two primary cohorts: fifth-year undergraduate students and industry professionals looking to reshape their careers. The one-year master’s program — three quarters at NU and a summer internship — will combine sound arts, studies and science, Smith said. All of these new programs and spaces, Moore said, are aimed at connecting NU’s extensive auditory resources and uniting them around a common goal. “There is an initiative right now to work a lot more with sound,” Moore said. “We’re trying to connect all of the different sound-related faculty from all the different disciplines into one conversation.”

I know what it’s like to go to class hungry. No, I’m not talking about the kind of hunger you get when you know you’ve skipped out on breakfast in the morning and are frantically running to get to your 9:30 a.m. class on time. I’m talking about the kind of hunger you get when you’re anxious about when your next meal will be. I’m talking about the kind of anxiety you get when you’re doing mental math at the grocery store about how much you’re willing to spend just to have some healthy produce around in your dorm room. It’s not a choice, it’s a fear and a source of stress that I’ve experienced both at Northwestern and at the University of Illinois, where I studied as a freshman. It’s the kind of gnawing pain you get in class when you have to skip a meal because the grocery store nearest to Illinois is a bus ride away and eating out is expensive. Because I cannot afford the NU meal plan, I work in a kitchen on campus two nights

a week to receive free lunches and dinners throughout the week. Each work shift runs about an hour and consists of me washing dishes, taking out the trash and helping the chef when needed. Although sometimes buying food can be a source of anxiety, working at a kitchen has been helpful in relieving much of the stress I first felt when I arrived at college. It’s also allowed me to save money for my books for classes and other materials. Food insecurity is an issue faced on a dayto-day basis for many college students across the country. Often, these students have to make the difficult choice between buying books for school or budgeting that money for food. And it feels like no matter which option you choose, you’re still losing something. Although budgeting money for food has become less stressful for me than it once was, it highlights the fact that students need access to inexpensive and healthy food. As college students, we should be spending our time participating in clubs, hanging out with friends and making the most of our four years in college. The last thing we should be worrying about is when our next meal should be or if we can even afford our groceries for the week. More importantly, we can’t learn if we’re
hungry. Focusing in class can be incredibly difficult when we’re preoccupied by the sound of our growling stomachs. Studies have also shown that our cognitive, emotional and social functioning can be inhibited when we The last skip a meal.

Although Evanston we can even provides many opporafford our tunities to get healthy groceries for the and inexpensive food from nearby grocery week. stores like Jewel-Osco and Trader Joe’s, there are also things NU can do to fight this issue. Having the money to buy food is incredibly important, but it is also crucial for the food to be readily accessible to students. Dining hall hours could be expanded and C-Stores could be made more accessible to both on-campus and off-campus students by promoting the groceries and snacks they sell. They could also be better stocked with

more and cheaper options in terms of both produce and meals. By maintaining consistent hours and promoting the resources offered in the dining halls, students can be more food secure by knowing better the options available near them. For students living off campus, it also wouldn’t hurt for grocery stores and have places like Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods to offer a WildCARD discount to students who choose to buy food there. Something as simple as a discount can help alleviate the struggle some students face in juggling living expenses and materials for school. Learning about the resources available to me while in college has helped me better deal with the issue of hunger. But there is still room to better serve food insecure students at NU and elsewhere. No one deserves to go to class hungry and there are things our community can do to continue alleviating this problem. Caroline Vakil is a Medill sophomore.

From page 1 water, and it’s a really good source.” Biggs said both Illinois EPA and the Illinois Department of Public Health are working together to identify what improvements can be made statewide to add additional public health protection even as the existing Lead and Copper Rule is being implemented. For example, the agencies are requiring water systems to notify individual users if the sample results from their homes exceeded the lead action level, Biggs said. Homeowners will also be provided educational materials with instructions for flushing practices and ways to reduce lead exposure, Biggs added. Finally, officials have mandated that water systems reevaluate their monitoring site plans and update any inventory they have on their lead service lines. Melaney Arnold, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Public Health, said the agencies have also amended the Illinois Lead Poisoning Prevention Act, a labeling law covering children’s jewelry, toys and child care articles, among other items sold in the state. Arnold said revisions include clarifying statutory language, eliminating outdated language and streamlining enforcement, authorizing the Department to implement administrative processes to impose penalties for violating the Act. “We know there will be new recommendations and requirements that will be coming from US EPA,” Biggs said. “But until that happens, Illinois wants to go ahead and take our own steps to protect public

setback when Baev sprained his ankle during an unfinished doubles match. Kumar took his spot in the singles lineup and won easily by a score of 6-1, 6-0 at No. 6 singles. Swan said after the match that Baev would be ready to play moving forward. “We always talked about my time here, the four years and how amazing it has been,” Kumar said. “To go out with a beatdown of Michigan State with my family and friends here was fantastic.” The victory over Michigan State both tied the program record of 23 wins set in 1983 and marked the conclusion of a 14-0 regular season for NU at home. More home matches could be in store if the team maintains its top-16 ranking as the Cats could host an NCAA Tournament match.

We just want to ensure that residents can be confident in the water that they’re receiving and that public water suppliers are providing as much information to those residents on their safety.” Galesburg, a city in Illinois’ Knox County, has followed Evanston’s example of adding a phosphate inhibitor to the pipelines. The city’s lead levels in the water supply were above the federal standard for 22 of the last 30 years, including in 2015, Peter Schwartzman, a Galesburg alderman, said. “The main pipes in the street and the pipes coming from the water source which is about 30 miles west of here, don’t have lead and are not providing lead in the water,” Schwartzman said. “The water that comes into Galesburg is very good water. It’s just that some residences have lead pipes leading from the street into their homes, and many of the older homes are like that.” The homes experiencing elevated lead levels are not only older, but are also found in the poorer neighborhoods at Galesburg, Schwartzman said. Schwartzman said he will continue to push the city to provide feasible solutions for poorer communities, something Biggs said the EPA hopes to do as well statewide. “Nothing’s been finalized at this point, “ Biggs said. “But at the federal level, I do expect there will be some final regulations or new programs put in place that will assist communities that otherwise don’t have the financial means to address lead.” rishikadugyala2019@u.northwestern.edu energize the team this year. “It’s awesome we’re undefeated at home,” Zieba said. “It gives us a lot of motivation going forward.” The Cats have been on quite the roll recently, dropping only 4 points over their current ninematch winning streak. They still have a matchup looming with a fellow undefeated Big Ten team in No. 3 Ohio State next weekend as well as postseason play over the next few weeks. On Sunday, though, Swan took time to recognize the two seniors who have been with him through four consecutive 20-win seasons. “They’re two guys that I’m really proud of and loved having on the team and two guys that are going to do great things when they graduate,” Swan said. “But, we still have a bit of tennis to play and they’re very motivated going forward.” benjaminapelbaum2019@u.northwestern.edu

Students shave heads, fundraise for cancer research Northwestern’s first-ever St. Baldrick’s head-shaving fundraiser was held Saturday, with 26 participants helping raise more than $10,000 for childhood cancer research. St. Baldrick’s, a pediatric cancer research foundation, whose NU chapter formed earlier this year, was brought to NU by Weinberg junior Brian Liu. Liu said he has been involved with the organization for 10 years, and he said he felt it was important to bring this tradition to the university. “It’s very weird because I’m also 20,” Liu said. “So, it’s not the number 10, but because I’ve been doing this for half of my lifetime now, which is wild.” Participants fundraised prior to the event, and donations will continue to be collected, Liu said. Associated Student President Christina Cilento, a SESP junior who was sworn into office Wednesday, took part in the event. She was joined by her mother and grandfather, and the three shaved their heads to raise both awareness and funds for the cause. “It’s really fulfilling,” Cilento told The Daily. “(My mom) decided that this year she was going to join me, and my grandpa did as well. They made the trip out to see me, but they ended up shaving as well.” In the weeks leading up to the event, the organizers set up a blackboard in various locations on campus that read, “When I was a kid…” for students to complete the phrase. Liu said this was meant to show students how kids diagnosed with pediatric cancer might have the same dreams but face bigger obstacles in fulfilling them. After seeing the positive response to Saturday’s fundraiser, Liu said he wants it to continue next year and beyond. “I really think this could become something very big in the future,” he said. “My hope is that when people come (to NU), they know that this is one of the things that’s going to happen.” — Stavros Agorakis

Across Campuses Illinois risks brain drain as university students look elsewhere
CHICAGO — As a May 1 deadline looms for high school seniors deciding where to attend college, students are thinking twice about universities in Illinois, where the worst budget crisis in state history has halted funding for higher education. Public colleges haven’t received state aid for the year that started July 1 as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic lawmakers fight over a budget. The strain has spurred colleges to furlough staff and cancel projects. State scholarships for lowincome students haven’t been paid. High school counselors and some state schools say they’re hearing that more students are looking to private, community colleges or out-of-state options, because of the funding uncertainty. “You’re having an upswing in students that just are not going to those schools” that are struggling financially like Chicago State University and Northeastern Illinois, said Amanda Andros, a counselor at Lane Technical College Prep, Chicago’s largest high school. “They’re not sure if the university is going to stay open.” Pensions, bonds and state employees are getting paid during the impasse, but higher education funds are stuck at zero, leaving public universities and poor students who rely on state aid among the hardest hit by the budget standoff. As more students look elsewhere, Illinois risks a long-term loss of residents, further pressuring the economy of the state that ranked 49 out of 50 in terms of population gains in the last three years. This week, the Democrat-led legislature approved $3.9 billion of spending that includes funding higher education and scholarships for low-income students, but Rauner will veto the measure, according to his office. Richard Goldberg, his deputy chief of staff, criticized the lack of revenue behind the bill, calling it “filled with empty promises.” Republicans have pitched ways to pay for higher education like changing the procurement process to free up funds or giving Rauner authority to make other budget cuts. As the state’s leaders bicker, at least one university is running out of time. If Chicago State University doesn’t receive funding by the end of April, it will exhaust normal operating dollars. Without aid, most of the more than 900 layoff notices it sent out in February will be executed on April 30, said Tom Wogan, a school spokesman. “What we are hearing from recruiters is that high
school counselors are increasingly telling students to avoid Illinois public universities,” Wogan said. “That’s a product of this budget crisis causing a loss of faith in the market for prospective college students.” The uncertainty isn’t comforting for holders of university debt. Moody’s Investors Service cut the ratings of three universities in February, dropping Eastern Illinois to junk. “If there’s a perception that the educational system is deteriorating, then I think that will have an impact on potential new employment and on migrants’ decision to move to Illinois,” said Alan Schankel, a managing director at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia. “It’s a real problem.” The state is losing students, said Sherri McLaughlin, a counselor in Jacksonville, Ill. She’s seeing more students going out of state or opting for junior colleges. McLaughlin, who’s been a counselor for 17 years, said she’s even advising students differently in terms of what to ask schools. “Instead of saying ‘how many kids go to school here?’ and ‘what’s your graduation rate? _ now you’re looking at asking the school _ ‘where is your financial stability?’” McLaughlin said. “There’s more difficult decisions being made now when you’re choosing a school than they had to just a year ago.” The budget increase isn’t affecting universities equally. The state’s flagship institution, the University of Illinois, has seen a record number of applications for the year that starts in August. President Tim Killeen is projecting at or close to record enrollment. The school’s three campuses serve more than 80,000 students and have “very good liquidity,” according to Moody’s. Private schools aren’t immune. Last month, the Illinois Institute of Technology sent a letter to students asking them to reimburse the school for covering the need-based state aid that Illinois should have paid. Students have the option of a 12-month loan through the university. If they don’t pay, they can’t register for classes. The budget standoff has created a crisis of confidence in Illinois education, said Matt Bierman, budget director and vice president of administrative services at Western Illinois University. As more students go out of state, fewer return, he said. “We turn out police officers and nurses and teachers and business entrepreneurs,” said Bierman. The state’s leaders need to “realize they’re causing long-term damage, not just to higher education, but to the entire workforce in the state.” —Elizabeth Campbell (Bloomberg News/TNS)

National News At Coachella, the arts and music have an election-year topicality
LOS ANGELES — The election year did not go unnoticed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, but it wasn’t always the musicians on stage making the boldest statements. Scattered among the grounds of the Empire Polo Club in the desert city of Indio, Calif., were a number of large-scale installations, some of them referencing the most controversial topics in this year’s political debates. One piece focused on the working class who have been priced out of Coachella. Another aimed to reflect on those permanently displaced by Hurricane Katrina, while R&R Studios’ “Besame Mucho” installation took aim squarely at presidential candidate Donald Trump and his calls to build a wall along the border of the United States and Mexico. “We don’t like to punch anyone in the face, nor have anyone punch us. We like to talk to one another,” said Roberto Behar, who along with Rosario Marquardt pitched and created the piece for the Goldenvoice-produced festival. All in all, it gave the festival, headlined by reformed hard rock act Guns N’ Roses, DJ Calvin Harris and electronic rock’s LCD Soundsystem, one of its most topical turns in its nearly 20-year history. Coachella, which launched in 1999, has typically had its mind solely on escapism — its grounds decked out with high-priced food, craft beer, a fashion boutique and even an H&M outlet. This year, Coachella even launched a virtual reality app for mobile phones, allowing fans to explore the grounds — with an emphasis on its shops — from the comfort of their living rooms. And past artworks have taken on a more magical bent. Picture, for instance, a giant astronaut levitating over the grounds, or a caterpillar that slowly morphs into a Technicolor butterfly. This year, along with the artists, even some of the musicians came out swinging. Said Chicago soul maven Mavis Staples after performing the civil rights-era song “Freedom Highway,” “I’m still fighting. I’m a soldier.” Later, Jehnny Beth, leader of U.K. punk act Savages, told the crowd mid-set, “We don’t like your money. We

don’t like your soul.” The group’s songs are high-intensity questions of authority, and the band’s passion created some new converts. “Savages,” said John Chandler, 46, of Denver, when asked who impressed him most on Friday, a day that also included a Kanye West cameo and a main-stage performance by pop star Ellie Goulding. “The raw fierceness of the band was really interesting.” Most Coachella acts kept the mood lighter. James Murphy, the usually chatty leader of LCD Soundsystem, was all business as the band, back after a five-year hiatus, played about two hours of songs that vacillated between party anthems and melancholic, late-night comedowns. Earlier, artists such as M83 and Sufjan Stevens went after a more mellow vibe. That often left it to Coachella’s art installations to challenge the crowd — or at least give attendees more thoughtful backdrops for their selfies. The 130-foot-long “Besame Mucho,” for instance, took its name from Consuelo Velazquez’s early 1940s pop standard, a song that captured the panic and passion of love during wartime. “Kiss me as if this night were for the last time,” she sings in the song, which has been covered by the Beatles and Frank Sinatra, among others. The work resembles the Hollywood sign and is visible throughout much of the Coachella campus. Its words are composed of 100,000 silk flowers, a nod, said Marquardt, to San Francisco’s flower-power era of the 1960s. With its message of peace and love, there’s no denying how it feels about those who wish to further divide the U.S. from its neighbor to the south. “It’s a song that’s known in Latin America, but it’s completely known here,” said Marquardt, a native of Argentina. “Frank Sinatra. Nat King Cole. Everyone has sung ‘Besame Mucho.’ It’s a bridge to cross different cultures. And why not? Why can’t we kiss each other? Why do we have to separate each other?” Similar questions were raised by Alexandre Arrechea’s 50-foot-tall “Katrina Chairs.” From a distance, the piece looks like a large-scale Ikea creation, but up close one can see that its stylish yellow chairs — a popular spot for festival-goers seeking shade — are propping up housing tenements, a reference to the countless

homes lost amid the 2005 natural disaster. Then there was “Sneaking Into the Show,” created by locals Armando Lerma and Carlos Ramirez, who collaborate as the Date Farmers. The piece, 30 feet tall and designed to look like wood-carved sculptures, depicted the would-be Coachella-goer. In a mission statement, it was said the artists intended to show the Coachella “audience a small slice of the life only a few miles from the perfectly manicured festival grounds.” So was the art resonating with the average Coachella attendee? Early surveys were inconclusive, as concerns on guests’ minds included the health of Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose, who was to perform with a broken foot late Saturday evening, and the quality of the lineup compared with those
of years past. Coachella’s attendance is capped at 99,000 for each of its two weekends, and the bulk of the $399 general admission tickets are sold before the lineup is announced. Leslie Miranda, 24, of Los Angeles said she would think twice in the future about purchasing tickets without knowing the artists in advance, as she found the rosters at competing festivals to be more to her liking. Still, she didn’t anticipate ever really breaking from Coachella. After all, it’s now expected, she said, for Coachella’s setting to trump its music. So what brings her back year after year? “It’s the place,” she said. —Todd Martens (Los Angeles Times/TNS)

However, the Buckeyes took control as singles play began. Rischbieth struggled, going down 6-1, 6-1 at No. 6 singles, and Barnett fell 6-1, 6-3 at No.

Bourbon said NU just needs the ball to bounce its way to beat Chicago State again, something that didn’t really happen this weekend. “We had 13 hits today, we had 10-plus hits, we’ve been hitting the ball pretty well, just sometimes it’s not coming our way,” Bourbon said. maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu 2 singles to put OSU up 2-1.

Craig nets 6 in last regular-season home game By CLAIRE HANSEN
daily senior staffer @clairechansen
With 22:33 left in the game, senior midfielder Kaleigh Craig lined up on the 8-meter fan, the ball cradled in her poised stick. Exploding off the hash mark as the whistle sounded, Craig took a few deliberate steps and snapped her stick quickly in front of her body. The ball rocketed past several Rutgers defenders and the goalie’s outstretched stick, slapping against the back of the goal. It was the last regular-season goal that Craig will ever score at home. No. 12 Northwestern (7-7, 2-1 Big Ten) cruised to a 20-9 victory over Rutgers (3-11, 0-3) at Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium on Sunday on a sunny and clear Senior Day. The victory, led by a cadre of seniors, pushed the Wildcats back to .500 after a critical loss to

NU loses in Big Ten for first time in ‘16 Northwestern
By ROBBIE MARKUS
the daily northwestern
Despite coach Claire Pollard’s claim that she was looking forward to “ruining” Ohio State’s season, the Buckeyes dispatched Northwestern from a firstplace tie at the top of the Big Ten. The Wildcats (10-9, 8-1) came into the weekend with a four-game win streak and an undefeated conference record. The team was tied with No. 5 Ohio State (23-2, 9-0) and No. 9 Michigan (17-4, 9-0) for first place in the Big Ten, as all three schools boasted spotless conference records. After extending that conference winning streak to five Friday, the Wildcats suffered their first Big Ten loss of the season, a 6-1 defeat to the Buckeyes. The Cats started their weekend Friday by moving to 8-0 in conference with a dominant 6-1 win over a Penn State team that remains in the middle of Big Ten standings. The match against the Nittany Lions began with NU’s new doubles lineup, a strategic shift that worked in the Cats’ favor last weekend. The payoff with the new lineup continued, as senior Alicia Barnett and junior Brooke Rischbieth quickly won No. 2 doubles 6-0. Sophomores Alex Chatt and Maddie Lipp fought to give NU the doubles point at No. 1 doubles with a 6-4 victory, starting the match out 1-0 for the Cats.

NU continued to roll in singles play, as Chatt and Lipp quickly grabbed wins in straight sets, putting the Cats up 3-0. After Rischbieth fought to win a first set tiebreaker, she won her second set 6-1 to decide the match for the Cats, winning 7-6 (7-4), 6-1. Penn State avoided a shutout after No. 1 singles player Kimberley-Ann Surin pulled out a three-set victory over sophomore Erin Larner on the last court remaining, winning 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 to make the final score 6-1. Following its decisive win Friday, NU focused its attention on a match against the No. 5 Buckeyes in Columbus, Ohio. Led by the No. 1 recruit in the 2015 class, freshman Francesca Di Lorenzo, OSU came into the match with seven consecutive Big Ten shutouts. » See WOMEN’S TENNIS, page 11
No. 6 USC on Friday. “Today was a great opportunity to just work on honing in our skills,” senior midfielder Spring Sanders said. “It was coming together as team and putting pressure on another team and really just seeing what we can do together as a group.” Freshman attacker Leighton Yenor scored 2 goals in the first two minutes of the matchup, and from there, it was all NU. Dominating in all three phases of the game, the Cats quickly built up a decisive lead. By the end of the first half the Cats led 15-4, forcing a running clock, which occurs whenever a team is leading by more than 10. The time would be kept running for the remainder of the game. Craig led the charge with a perfect 6 goals off 6 shots, including 3 free-position shots. Craig also scooped up 2 of NU’s 21 ground balls and tied for a team-high 2 caused turnovers. “(Rutgers was playing) one-on-one defense, so it’s a little different from a lot of zones we’ve been playing,” Craig said. “I’ve just been trying to go hard and I’ve been working on shooting a lot, so I’m happy with that today.” Sophomore midfielder Selena Lasota followed Craig with a hat trick, including a highlight-reel-worthy, behind-the-back goal shot from a seemingly impossible angle. Lasota’s second goal of the day was her 100th career goal. Senior midfielder Lauren Murray also
had a successful Senior Day, tallying 2 goals for the Cats — her first 2 of the season. Senior defender Emily Eichner contributed to the win as well, scoring the first goal of her career. All seniors saw playing time on Sunday. NU was especially dominant on its ride, limiting Rutgers to just 11 of its 17 attempted clears. Once the Cats got the ball back from the Scarlet Knights, they were often quick to drive to goal, tallying an impressive 38 shots. Sanders said that getting the ball back on the ride was all about relentlessness. “I think just kind of honing in on body defense, focusing on positioning and just locking in and going in with all of your heart is what we focused on today,” Sanders said. NU was successful particularly in drawing and capitalizing on free-position shots, usually forcing Rutgers into a shooting space penalty. The Cats scored on 4 of their 8 free-position shots, while Rutgers was 0-3 comparatively. After the game, Amonte Hiller said she was happy with the way the seniors stepped up in their last regular season home game. “(The senior class) is fantastic,” said coach Kelly Amonte Hiller, who earned her 250th career win Sunday. “I saw (today) that they really played for each other, and I think the other kids played for them too.” clairehansen2018@u.northwestern.edu
Weak offense dooms Wildcats By MAX GELMAN
daily senior staffer @maxgelman
Much to Northwestern’s dismay, Penn State brought the brooms to Evanston this weekend. The Wildcats (9-27, 2-10 Big Ten) once again fell on Sunday despite beautiful weather as the Nittany Lions (22-14, 8-4) completed a series sweep. Sunday marked the second time NU was swept in conference in a three-game series — the other coming against Michigan — and the third time overall this season. “We’ve got to do a better job when we’re in positive counts,” coach Spencer Allen said. “It’s funny, because at Nebraska that’s what we did well. … (Penn State) obviously did a great job with that this weekend.” Throughout the series, the Cats couldn’t get the ball rolling on offense. On Friday, NU managed 4 hits and Saturday just 6 as the Cats scored 2 runs in each game. In Sunday’s game though, NU hit the ball much better, stringing together 13 hits, all singles, 6 of which came in a 3-run first inning. For the rest of the game, however, the Cats couldn’t push a run across, scattering the other 7 hits among the last eight innings and not drawing a walk. “We hit the ball hard and there were some spots where it just went right at them,” freshman second baseman Willie Bourbon said. “Some of their hits just found gaps, you know, and sometimes that happens. Sometimes we hit it right at them or sometimes we find holes too.” Finding the holes wasn’t easy for NU, however, as Bourbon was the only Cat all weekend to get an extra-base hit — a

2 2 3 double in Saturday’s 8-2 loss. While the offense struggled to provide run support, the pitchers didn’t do much to help themselves out either. The Nittany Lions posted 19 runs on NU’s pitching staff combined between Saturday and Sunday — all earned. The notable exception was Friday night, when senior Reed Mason went 7.1 innings in his longest outing of the
season. Mason was charged with 3 runs on 8 hits and struck out four. “Reed just commands his fastball,” associate head coach Josh Reynolds said Sunday. “He’s in control of the running game, just the whole baseball feel — he has that. … Nothing bothers him, they may get a hit and he’s like, ‘Whatever, I can pick the guy off or I can make a good pitch on the next one, get a ground-ball double play.’” Additionally, Allen implemented a quirky lineup strategy Sunday in which Mason was originally listed to start at designated hitter. Mason has not batted in his collegiate career. However, he was pinch-hit for in the » See BASEBALL, page 11
